CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Chrysler 200 carries the torch of "never buy the 1st year of a new vehicle generation" with pride.
The 2015 model year is the first year of the Chrysler 200's 2nd generation. It has been plagued by problems from the start. Transmission failure at extremely low mileage, many recalls, problems stalling while driving... the list goes on. Maybe Chrysler should have stuck with the 1st generation.
My 200S shudders when sitting still/taking off. It has a terrible rough idle in and out of gear. When putting it into drive or reverse, you have to hold down the brake with all you have in order to keep you from jolting forward or backward. Same thing happens when sitting still at a traffic light. The car, in general, makes a very unflattering sound. All in all, this seems to be an issue that hundreds of people are having (there was even another guy dropping off his 200 for the same reason when I was at the dealer). This is dangerous and needs to be addressed.
The issue was actually NOT resolved with this second service visit. The dealership told me they could not verify a rough idle, but prior to doing any work on the vehicle they did a firmware update for the computer systems and this may have solved the issue with the rough idle. They also performed a recall repair that they told me 1 week prior did not apply to my vehicle when I mentioned it to them on my first service visit.
