ENGINE
I have had my car since March 2020 and have continuously had to have my car in shop for o2 sensor, or camshaft sensor #6 This is causing safety issues and concern with engine as the light has been on but the only issue is while driving and my children are in vehicle will it just stop working on me in mid-traffic? I’ve asked several times over years and dealership cannot pinpoint recall yet my mechanic has been able to identify specified recall it’s just not assigned or tied directly to my VIN

Available upon request. Switching gears could be a hazard. Mechanic said a previous recall for issue was fixed. It has been sitting at the mechanics for 4 months. Vehicle ran fine in the morning. Went to drive and vehicle switched from park to neutral and break system lights came on. I went to try a few hours later and the car was dead and would not start. We tried to jump the car and it would not work.

Vehicle directional system indicates that vehicle is traveling in the opposite direction of actual movement. ie: indicates vehicle is traveling north when the vehicle is actually traveling south; west when actually traveling east; south when traveling north; east when actually traveling west You may think this is not a safety issue but if a driver goes by the vehicles indicated path of direction (especially at night), the driver could end up in an isolated/unpopulated area at a time when their vehicle requires gas, the driver requires emergency services, etc. In addition to being an inconvenience (adding miles/hours of travel to a drivers trip), this could be a safety issue/dangerous =>place a driver in an unsafe area/neighborhood &/or in an area with no services/facilitates to purchase gasoline, etc. ...have the driver-in an unfamiliar area-going in the opposite direction of emergency services/hospitals, etc. ...I recently purchased a used 2015 Chrysler 200 for a trip from AZ to NE NV. I embarked on my trip within a week of purchasing the vehicle. My departing had been delayed by the need to purchase medication to relieve my service dogs travel related anxiety. I had no time to become familiar with my newly purchased vehicle. Driving through Las Vegas, my vehicles navigation indicated I was driving south - when I needed to be driving north. I am unfamiliar with Las Vegas. I did not know if I was actually driving in the direction I needed to be traveling => north. The following day, driving during a moonless night, I was completely disoriented and became lost while following the direction my vehicle indicated I was traveling. For 2 hours I traveled in a direction that I believed to be north (my vehicle indicated I was traveling north). It was pitch black. I ended up in the middle of nowhere...I did not know where I was. I backtracked to a town I had passed through =>where I could get a motel and fuel... Navigation software error/malfunction

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
One day without warning (about 8/20/2023), the vehicle would not start. After too many attempts the vehicle went into a security lock out. Had a mobile locksmith come and issue 2 new key fobs, and he was able to get the car unlocked and started. Car ran fine for about 4 days and then once again would not start. Car was towed to dealership where I was advised it was a bad battery. Battery was replaced 9/6/23. No issues for just over 1.5 months. Then, without any warning, all of the lights on the dashboard lit up on 10/30/23 (everything from the battery light, to the check engine, to even the "service parking break" alert). The car even lost power steering. Luckily, I had enough time to pull into a parking lot and get the car parked in a spot. The car then lost its ability to start. Car was then towed to same repair center where they then advised me it was a bad alternator, and everything wrong was because of a Non-OEM sound system placed in the car (this was installed in June of 2020 and has run with zero issues) - they stated the alternator needed to be replaced. No mention of a bad alternator was reported in the first inspection of the same issue. Alternator was then replaced at a different repair facility. Somewhere between the two facilities, the additional sound system was disconnected from power from the car and is no longer active. It is also important to note the system is hooked up to secondary battery, not the main battery in the front of car. In all, the car went back into the first repair facility from 10/30/23, was towed to the second on 11/6/23, and was finally returned 12/12/23. Even though it was at the first repair facility for a week, no repairs were done until it was towed to the second. However, today (12/14/23) just two days after getting the car back with NO Non-OEM sound system active, I am having the exact same issues for which I initially brought it to the first repair center. All of the lights on the dash went on and I lost power steering.

POWER TRAIN
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the vehicle was shifted into drive(D); however, the gear shifter independently shifted back to neutral(N) and remained stuck. Additionally, the electronic parking brake engaged independently. The parking brake, the brakes, and the traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several mechanics, who were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the cross-alignment was performed, and an unknown software was reset. The vehicle then operated as needed; however, the failure recurred two years later. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V529000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

PCM failed and my car went into limp mode all of a sudden while going down a very busy and fast paced road with limited visibility. This entire car should be recalled after all the serious safety issues I've seen from it.
