I HAVE A ENGINE LIGHT ON THAT IS REGARDED TO A ACTIVE GRILL SHUTTER. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAY THE MOTOR HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. CAR HAS 47K MILES ON IT!!!!!! NOPE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY I GET IN MY CAR AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TO SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF ABOUT EVERY 2 MILES.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AS ALL OTHER REPORTS. 06/08/17 CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK ON. WHEN IT DID IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN STALL. 06/09/17. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CODE P2172 FOR THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE PAST 32 MPH. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ISSUES WOULD BE AN OPEN OR SHORT IN THE WIRE HARNESS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS DISCUSSED IN THE R24 RECALL HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST YET. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I'M CONFIDENT THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH PEOPLE TO BEGIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT. IF I HAVE TO POST ON HERE AGAIN AND ADD ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR DEATH. THE LAWSUIT WILL HOLD A VERY DIFFERENT MEANING.

POWER TRAIN
SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND WE HAVE RECEIVED 2 DIFFERENT NEW TRANSMISSIONS; HOWEVER, WE CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE SLOPPY GEAR SHIFTS AND INCONSISTENT SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED, THE ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES REV UP TO 5000 RPMS FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS BEFORE FEELING A HARSH SLIP INTO GEAR WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK. IN CLOSE ENCOUNTER SITUATIONS THIS LEAVES A VERY UNEASY FEELING THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF DANGER IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE ACTION SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DECELERATING QUICKLY AND THEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY AS IF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN TOO HIGH A GEAR FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN HARSHLY DOWN SHIFTS AS YOU HAVE IT FLOORED BECAUSE IT ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. DEALERS CAN'T ALWAYS REPRODUCE IN THE BRIEF TEST DRIVES THEY CONDUCT. RECENTLY, THEY FLASHED THE "QUICK LEARN" COMPONENT AND SAY IT NOW APPEARS TO BE DRIVING AS DESIGNED...BUT IF THIS IS THE DESIGN, IT SEEMS VERY UNSAFE.

NEXT MORNING CAR WON'T START SAME THING HAPPENING. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THE CAR SHOWING IN NEUTRAL WHEN THE KNOB TURNED TO PARK. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM READING MY CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT IT'S NOT THEREFORE IT WON'T START. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND CRISWELL ONLY DID A UPDATING OF SOFTWARE, THE REWIRING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WASN'T DONE. THE RECALL WASN'T DONE AS CALLED FOR AND THE REMOTE IS A REPLACEMENT AFTER THEY LOST MY ORIGINAL.

THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT INTO A BRAND NEW CAR, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO RE-CALLS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CAR AND I'M TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON A CAR THAT IS A LEMON!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FIRST, MY CAR PROBLEM STARTS 2 WEEKS AGO WITH HEATING SENSOR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND IT SHOWS TAKE TO THE DEALER AND I FIXED IT. AFTER THAT PROBLEM CONTINUES WITH THE NEW SENSOR AS WELL. AFTER DRIVING COUPLE OF MILES, IT SHOWS YOU REQUIRED A SERVICE OF THE SENSOR AND IT GOES ON/OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN I TAKE TO THE DEALER IT SAYS IT'S FINE AFTER INSPECTION. AFTER THAT CHECK ENGINE STARTS POPPING UP ALONG WITH SERVICE OF HEAT ENGINE SENSOR. I THINK I HAVE WASTED MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON CHRYSLER 200 AND I AM NOT GONNA REFER IT TO ANYONE AS I HAVE DRIVEN HONDA BEFORE SO EXPECTATIONS WERE HIGH.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALARM STAYS ON AND INTERRUPTS THE INFO ON THE DASH. THE RADIO HAS TURNED UP ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND DOOR OPENED. THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY STALLS ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A HARD OR FAST TURN OR WHEN BRAKING HARD. SOMETIMES JT CUTS OFF WHEN IDLING. IT IS ALWAYS HARD TO GET RESTARTED, AND REQUIRES SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING. THE RADIO PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG LIGHT US CONSTANT DURING STATIONARY AND MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE STALLS HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN DECELERATION OR HARD TURNS OR BRAKING. SOMETIMES A RED LIGHT WITH LIGHTENJNG BOLT APPEARS ON DASH AND THE CAR WILL RIDE VERY ROUGH UNTIL TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND TWICE WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS STATIONERY ROADS. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER ON 5/16/17 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I PICKED IT UP ON 5/23/17 & THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME THREE TIMES SINCE THEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES; HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE A VIDEO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE ENGINE CYLINDER WALLS SUFFERED FROM EXCESSIVE SCORING DURING THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS, SHAKES, AND JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND DURING IDLE PERIODS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF THECONSTANT SHAKING AND RUMBLING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CHRYSLER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALMOST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, SUBSEQUENTLY PUTTING ME AND MY NEWBORN BABY AT RISK OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. ONE MORNING IN MY GARAGE, THE 200 WOULD NOT CRANK WHEN PRESSING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND AFTER THIS, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2015, AND CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ISSUES.
