ANOTHER TIME, I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND WHILE TRYIG TO ACCELLERATE, THE CAR STALLED. IT HAS STALLED AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, AND THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN A BATTERY LIGHT COME ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE CAR IS STALLED AND IN ELECTRICAL MODE. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION ANYTHING IS WRONG THEN THE CAR WILL DIE AND WILL BE UNABLE TO RESTART FOR A FEW MIMUTES. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED YESTERDAY, AND I GOT ABOUT 100 FEET FROM MY HOUSE AND STALLED AT A STOP SIGN THIS MORNING.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON FREEWAY. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONTINUED BRAKE PRESSURE BROUGHT ABOUT THE SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. THE UNWANTED ACCELERATION WAS MOMENTARY BUT FRIGHTENING AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO KNOWN FIX. MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE THESE OFF THE ROAD!!!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE LAST SUMMER (2017) REGARDING MY VEHICLE SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL GETTING STUCK AND BEING DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE. I WANTED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY BUT MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THIS ORGANIZATION (NHTSA) THAT SOME 2015 CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ASSUMING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. I WAS BY TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER EMPLOYEES THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED AND PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS ON MY OWN. I WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUESTING AGAIN THAT CHRYSLER BUY BACK THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY ADMIT NEED TO BE DONE ON SOME OF THE VEHICLES. IF ITS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL OF THE CARS WOULD NEED THE REPAIR SINCE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE. SEE ALSO ODI 10984831. *DSY UPDATED 9/25/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR BEGINS TO MAKE DING SOUND,THEN SLOWS DOWN AND SHUTS OFF AND SAYS "SHIFTS TO PARK" CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CUT OFF. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, IT BEGINS TO MAKE THE CUGHH CUGGGHHH SOUND AND TAKES A AMINUTE TO TWO BEFORE IT COMES BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CARMAX FOR THEM TO SAY ITS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEEMBER 2017

THE VEHICLE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHERE IT BROKE DOWN THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SECOND TIME IN THE CITY. THOSE TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO ANY CAR HISTORY REPORT AGENCY OR THE PUBLIC. THIS MIGHT BE PUTTING SOMEONE LIFE AT RISK. I HAVE TO SAY THIS THAT WE DIDN'T FIND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: DURABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE WERE THE REASON WE DIDN'T DIVE THE CAR THAT OFTEN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN ' IN THE CHRYSLER WOU A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN DASH IN THE CHRYSLER WILL CONSTANTLY FLASHING ALL OF ITS LIGHTS AND TELL ME THAT MY PARKING BRAKE NEEDS SERVICED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICED. I HAVE GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT NEVER SOLVES ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT TENDS TO JUMP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON JUNE 6, 2018 MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN AKRON OHIO DO TO THE CAR JUMPING, ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT AND LOCKING UP THE CAR, SO I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK OR STEER. THE CAR ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE LOCKED UP CAR. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PROPER MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE ON THIS CA I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SEE THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAVE FIXED ANY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER.
