ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND EVERY DAY LAST WEEK, MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER 20+ MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING. AFTER IT STALLED TODAY IT WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINUTES. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BASICALLY WASHED THEIR HANDS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AT THIS POINT. THEY STATE THE RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETED. YET THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL THAT WAS DONE TO FIX THE ORIGINAL ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEELS
ALL FOUR TIRES ARE TORN/CUT AND TEARING, (ONE IS TORN COMPLETELY AND IS UNDRIVABLE,) IN THE SAME CIRCULAR PATTERN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. POSSIBLE LINK TO P37 RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE REAR SHOCK MOUNT WELDING BREAKING, HENCE DAMAGING THE TIRES. OTHER POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE FAULTY TIRES, OR OTHER MANUFACTURER DEFECTS ON THE VEHICLE NOT YET ESTABLISHED THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY ALL DAY. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR AT A HIGH RATE (AUDIBLE FROM FAR AWAY.) WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE OFF TO CHANGE TO THE SPARE, I NOTICED UNUSUAL CUTS THAT ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF A TYPICAL FLAT OR BLOW OUT. I TOOK OFF THE OTHER TIRES AND THEY ARE ALL CUT IN A SIMILAR FASHION. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED

POWER TRAIN
ON JUNE 19 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15AM, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER CAMP. I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM MY JOB. I HAD JUST CROSSED A BRIDGE. MY CAR HIT A GUARDRAIL AND I SPUN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. I WAS NOT DISTRACTED OR ON MY PHONE. I TAKE THAT SAME ROAD EVERYDAY AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE AXLE AND WHEEL HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF. I WAS TOLD BY THE WITNESSES AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE CV AXLE HAD BROKE OFF WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL. I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND THIS WAS MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR FROM CARVANA AND IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME ON FEBRUARY 2ND. THE CAR WAS SERVICED IN JANUARY ACCORDING TO THE PAPERWORK THAT I FOUND IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. I WAS NOT SPEEDING. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS MERGING OFF ONTO THE OFF RAMP SO I HAD ACTUALLY SLOWED DOWN. THAT AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME OFF THAT EASILY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

VEHICLE SUSPENSION SEEMS TO HAVE GONE BAD. 2015 SEDAN NOW SOUNDS LIKE AN OLDER CAR WHEN RIDING OVER ROUGH SPOTS IN PAVEMENT. ALSO, AWD NOT AVAILABLE LIGHT FIRST FLASHED ON WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN ON RAINY DAY. IT WAS FOLLOWED BY SERVICE AWD INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON. AT FIRST THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW COME ON EACH TIME ENGINE IS STARTED AND THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT NOW STAYS ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER CAR IN MOTION, IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED THAT ABS LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. SOMETIMES AFTER IT STARTS, IT JUST SHUTS DOWN, CAR GOES COMPLETELY DARK, I OPENED THE DOOR AND POWER CAME BACK ON, THEN I COULD RE- START IT. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I WAS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAD IT TO THE DEALER ONCE WHO STATED IT WAS A SEAT WIRING ISSUE AND FIXED IT... SO I THOUGHT, NOW 3 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ESTIMATE TO FIX IT IS OVER $ 3,000 BECAUSE 2 AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED/FIX. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE ARE OLDER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS THAT HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER HASN'T AND WON'T EXTEND IT THROUGH ALL THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF IT IS HAPPENING STILL IN THE SAME YEAR LATER MODELS, DON'T YOU THINK THEY NEVER RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND KEPT BUILDING CARS KNOWINGLY?? HMMMM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP EITHER TURNING OR STRAIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING & THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR MOMENTUM TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH HAZARDS ON AT NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS, IN STOPPED TRAFFIC AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, FREEWAY ON RAMPS, IN THE CENTER OF SMALL & LARGE INTERSECTIONS BLOCKING TRAFFIC, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, & MORE. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 TRIES FOR THE ENGINE TO RESTART. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, & I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE A NEWER CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES DIES EVERY DAY, OFTEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY & THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY ONCE IT RESTARTS. THAT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY UPON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I DO HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS, BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF ONE OF THE VIDEOS, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY & HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THERE WERE A FEW INCIDENTS MONTHS APART, THEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, & FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

POWER TRAIN
TROUBLE BEGAN IN MAY 2019. 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' COMES UP ON DISPLAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT GETS STUCK INTO A HIGHER GEAR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON WILL CLEAR THE MESSAGE AND SHIFT PROPERLY (ALBEIT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON), AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT WILL GO AWAY. EVENTUALLY BOTH THE MESSAGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY BUT EVENTUALLY (SOMETIMES MINUTES, HOURS, OR AFTER A FEW DAYS) THE TROUBLE WILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 6/15/19 AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY FAILED 2 OF 3 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY AND REPROGRAMMED THE TCM. TOTAL COST $312. THIS FIX LASTED THREE DAYS. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPT AT I10 DODGE IN INDIO, CA. FOR 8AM. THE MESSAGE AND CEL WILL OCCUR RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES AFTER IMMEDIATELY TURNING THE CAR ON, BUT MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON CITY STREETS OR THE FREEWAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M IN DRIVE MODE OR SPORT MODE. THE FACT THAT THE GEARS DO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND GET 'STUCK' INTO A HIGHER GEAR CAN BE UNSAFE.
