I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET APPROACHING STOPPED TRAFFIC. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE STOPPING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 6TH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THEY PUT AN UPDATE IN THE COMPUTER AND RELEARNED THE CAR WHATEVER THAT MEANT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, AFTER TEST DRIVING THE CAR I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. THIS WAS THE 5TH 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT I TEST DROVE, BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT. THE SHIFT POINTS WERE OFF. THE CAR WOULD ONLY SHIFT DOWN TO 3RD GEAR THEN JUMP TO 1ST ON TAKE OFF CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. I DIDN'T WANNA TAKE POSSESSION OF THE CAR. THE SALESMAN TOOK ME TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT'S THE WAY THEY DROVE WHEN A NEW PERSON DRIVES THEM BECAUSE THE NEW DRIVER HAS TO PUT A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON THEM SO THE CAR CAN LEARN THE NEW DRIVERS DRIVING PATTERN. ME NOT UNDERSTANDING THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WITH THESE NEW CARS WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HIM. THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY BOUGHT FOR MY 76 YR MOTHER. AFTER BUYING THE CAR I TOOK IT TO HER AND THE FIRST TIME SHE DROVE IT, SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC PULLING UP BEHIND A SEMI DUMP TRUCK. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND NEARLY COLLIDED WITH THE TRUCK. SHE WAS SCARED SO BAD I HAD TO TAKE OVER. SHE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND ITS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR MY MOM. THE DEALER DON'T NOTHING TO HELP US BUT PUT THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME DOING THE SAME THING. AFTER THE 5TH TIME TAKING THIS CAR BACK TO THE SHOP. I TALKED TO THE OWNER OF THE CAR LOT. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS CAR WAS UNSAFE AND IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT ITS NOT A MATTER OF IF I'M GONNA GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ITS A MATTER OF WHEN !!!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY CONCERN IS THE CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN BY FCA REGARDING SAFETY RECALL S55/NHTSA 16V-529. THIS RECALL IDENTIFIED A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER THAT COULD OCCUR DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. AFTER A TWO MONTH WAIT, FCA CHANGED THE SUGGESTED REPAIR FROM REPLACING THE WIRE HARNESS TO RE-PROGRAMMING THE PCM AND TCM. THIS RE-PROGRAMMING, PREVENTS THE TRANSMISSION FROM SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, CAUSING A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, BUT WILL NOW PLACE THE VEHICLE IN "LIMP MODE". DEALER SERVICE MANAGERS COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THAT PROCESS. WE KNOW IT WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT, EITHER TO THIRD OR MAYBE SECOND GEAR, NOT SURE WHICH, AND A REDUCTION OF MAXIMUM SPEED TO 30 MPH OR LESS, AGAIN NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL BE. THE ROOT CAUSE, THE TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS WILL NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. SO, I AM LEFT WITH THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WHICH COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. WHETHER THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL MOTIVE POWER, OR ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR WITH A LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD STILL PRODUCE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION IF A PERSON REACTS INCORRECTLY. ARE THESE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS, WHICH ARE NOT THOSE IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, APPROVED BY THE NHTSA, OR CAN THE MANUFACTURER CHANGE THEM AT WILL? I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR SIXTEEN MONTHS. FIVE OF THOSE THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED IN THE GARAGE DUE TO TWO RECALLS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN.

PURCHASED/LEASING CAR FROM AMERICAN CAR CENTER AND FROM DAY 2 THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP 3X IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS. THE AIR BAG LIGHT LIGHT WAS ON. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A PLACE THAT DOESN'T FIX THEM THEN THEY SENT ME TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR SEEMING LIKE IT'S GOING INTO NEUTRAL. AGAIN, ACC SENDS ME TO ONE OF THEIR SHOPS WHO SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IT JUST NEED TO BE RESET SO THEY RESET IT. WELL THE SAME DAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED IT DOES IT TWO MORE TIMES ESPECIALLY GOING DOWNHILL. IT DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR AS IT SUPPOSE TO. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT MOVES LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL THEN JERKS INTO DRIVE, NOT SAFE. IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN IT STALLS TO PULL OFF. THE PASSENGER SEAT GOT STUCK AFTER IT WAS LET BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEEDOMETER GLITCHES AND THE RADIO/PHN CONNECTION DOES WHAT IT WANTS TO. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT IT'S DOING SCARES ME WHENEVER I DRIVE IT. THE DATE IT LAST HAPPENED IS LISTED BELOW.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A 3CAR ACCIDENT YESTERDAY 10-10-16 THURSDAY WHERE I WAS THE MIDDLE CAR ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING A RED LIGHT TO STOP. I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEH WAS COMPLETELY AT A STAND STILL OF IT I WAS STILL IN MOTION AT ABOUT 3MPH OR LESS BUT ANOTHER CAR RAN INTO ME FORCING ME INTO THE VAN IN FRONT OF ME. ALTHOUGH MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD SMELL RUBBER, AND THE ICON ON MY DASH SHOWS THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT- BUT THEY DID NOT. I DIDNT REALISE THE MY CAR ASSUMED THE AIRBAGS CAME OUT UNTIL I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY AND THE SEATBELT WAS AND STILL IS LOCKED AS IF IM NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DRIVING BECAUSE MY CAR BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS ARE OUT AT THIS TIME AND IM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND THEY ARE NOT WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A FAULTY PARTS ISSUE GOING ON WITH MY CAR.I HAVE CONTACTED MY MANUFACTURER BUT HAVE HEARD NOTANYTHING SO FAR EXCEPT IT WAS MOVED UP TO THEIR LEGAL DEPT.
