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.

I have been noticing that the passanger side interior of the car is soaked. This has been happening for a while now and I can not figure out where the liquid is coming from. It gets soaked from the front all the way to the back.
On August 23rd, I was taking my sister in law back home from our house. On the way back from her house I decided to wash my 15 Chrysler 200. When I as done with that task and got back in the car. I noticed my brakes wouldn't disengage. I tried to do the maintenance release through the car's radio and it wouldn't let me do it. This is the first time I had any problem with the car. So I then tried to turn off and on the car and that didn't work. So then I thou maybe if I drove it, they would release and just as I hit 45mph, they did. And started to preform normally. An hour later, I stopped by my mother-in-law house to take car of her dogs like I've been doing for the last few days and when I was ready to leave. The car battery died. I'm not quite sure how cause I don't leave my lights on ever. And I sat there to wait for someone to tow it to the store with car battery and had them switched. They came to tell me that they couldn't get the car out of gear. So I went out there to see what was wrong and they were right. The car was running fine but I couldn't get it to change gears. On my dashboard. My small screen said to service the park brake and I thought, what that the brakes got to do with it's transmission. I looked and saw my mileage, 93,568, was blinking and my gear indicator as N. I'm pretty sure that the car was in park the hole time they where changing out the battery. The shifter nob was able to turn but I wasn't changing the gear either. So after that, I released the parking brake, that's somehow made the care show it was in drive, and had it towed back to my mother-in-law house.
Ive been the owner of this vechiles going on four yrs now, my car jerks alot while driving on the streets on the highway, my check engine light comes on and off and the air bag sensor been on since ive been the owner of the vechile
While driving that various speeds, the vehicle jerks while the accelerator pedal is depressed but the vehicle fails to accelerate. Also I noticed the vehicle didn't come with rubber on the accelerator pedal it was completely metal and my foot was sliding while driving so I contacted the dealership and tried to get it replaced but they said that is was a cost saving issue and there was nothing they could do about it since none of the cars came with this so I purchased a stainless steel pedal cover kit but I'm still having issues while driving with the accelerator on this vehicle while on the freeway because it hard accelerator at high speeds without the grip of the rubber.
A light is on that is called serv AWD. I looked it up which means service the AWD. I noticed it before I went to the dealership July 2020 for my yearly inspection and emissions sticker as required by my state. The dealership did not mention to me that the serv AWD was on. I know that my AWD is currently disabled.
Chrysler dealers in 2 states since 2016 refuse to service my vehicle properly or fix literally all these symptoms over the last few years. I dated a mafia car guys wife and they retaliated over this and my many oversite complaints: Kelley blue book 2015 Chrysler 200 recalls near melbourne, fl 32901 2015 Chrysler 200 200C sedan 4D mileage: 64,578check warranty coverage we found 8 recalls recalls don't affect every vehicle of the same year, make and model. You'll need your car's 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate to know for sure. Equipment: Electrical: Radio/tape deck/cd etc. NHTSA campaign id: 15V461000 report date: Jul 22, 2015 vehicles affected: 1416903 consequence: Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash. What you should do: Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a usb drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own usb drive from www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40. See attachment for the full list. I have handcarts of files and inaction from all oversite agencies. There is mass corruption.
On May 15, 2020 while attempting to back out of a parking spot at the post office my car dinged at me. The dash notification told me to pull over in safe spot, park car, and shift into park, and service shifter light came on. I was only 2 miles from my home so I proceeded home and called the dealership service center. I explained the issue and they told me to bring it in. I asked if it was okay to drive and they said yes. I scheduled to take it in the following morning. The mechanic looked at it and asked me if I had changed the transmission. No same transmission as was in it when I bought it. They tried telling me that the software did not match the transmission and needed a software update, which they did and allegedly retested it. Everything fine now they said. Yesterday, June 9, 2020, I was driving home from work and the car started dinging at me. The transmission light came on and dash notification to service transmission. The car starting losing power and did not want to move with the transmission wanting to shift into neutral. Came to stop light and car did not want to move. I had cars behind me that almost hit me because my car shifted to neutral. It started moving then shifted from drive to neutral. I was able to get it home (only 1 mile) and tried to back it into driveway. Dash said to shift into park and then desired gear so I did. Nothing!!!! it would not register reverse. I was in the middle of the street blocking an oncoming car. I was able to get it register neutral and it rolled back so the car could get past me. After turning the car off and back on it finally registered reverse and I got it in the driveway. Call dealership to tell them. They say no recall, nothing wrong. Seriously"?" this is a recall issue even if my VIN isn't listed as they claim. The car shifts to neutral as you are driving down the road. Fix this issue and recall all of them.
Car randomly shuts off while driving and will either be able to turn back on or won't turn over at all for days. This has been happening multiple times. Brought it into the shop and was told it was the battery. Battery replaced issue is still happening. Very U safe.
I purchased my car at the end of September 2017. About two weeks later my car just shut off in the middle of a busy intersection. I called baxter and explained my problem and icalleda tow truck. Later that day baxter called me back to inform me that my car had multiple recalls.they fixed the recalls and my car was good for awhile. I then started having a issue where my car would jerk hard when I would come to a stop. After I start researching my make and model of my car I start to read that just about every make and model and year of my car has the same issue. I call baxter again to make an appointment and explain what I read to them and they call me back and now say it's my battery. I get my car back it's still having the same problem. Expect now my car will just randomly shut off when I'm driving. They tell me to come back when I have drove it 1,000 miles. I did not wait 1,000 miles because I nanny and drive people's children in my car and it's completely unacceptable that my car shuts off when I drive and my transmission slips. I keep making appointments and finally they say it's my transmission so they have my car for about a week to put a new transmission in my car. My transmission still slips and it feels like someone is slamming into the back of me when I come to a stop. I have called baxtor multiple times since a new transmission has been put in and they tell me there is nothing more they can do with my vehicle and that the Chrysler association told them to not perform anything else on my car because this is normal for my car to do this.
The car turns off while driving. Cuts off when slowing down to make turns. It will cut off at a red light. It stalls when trying to start it. Mostly when the air conditioner is running. Took it to the dealer paid over $900 and the problem still exsits
Radio monitors blacked out and internally shorted.1200 dollars to be repaired there's no reason that I could see why the computer monitor that controls my air menu, heat, radio and other things would internally go out
My car stalls and shuts down with no warning at all while driving. It has stalled on me while driving on the expressway and I have had to pull over and put it in park and restart it which takes about 30 seconds to kick in. This happens repeatedly every morning before going to work. I will let it run for a minute and then drive off but it will still stall once I pull up to the stop sign. This is very dangerous and scary. I am afraid it may stall and I may get hit from behind. I have contacted the manufacture for a recall but they do not have on out there. The alternator has been checked but the nothing shows anything wrong.
My car will lose power as I am driving. I have to stop and shut it off then restart the car and it drives fine. Also valve cover gasket leaking oil. The shop guys said he use to work for Chrysler and this is a very common issue in Chrysler 200 & 300. Also a few other Chrysler vehicles. If this is a problem it should be fixed and not continue to use the same parts
On a return trip back home from store less than 2 miles from my house car stalled after turning onto a side street going only a few mph, engine cut off, radio was still on. Was able to pull into the closest parking lot, "shift to P" comes up on dash, battery light comes on. I put the car into park. Turn it off, tried to restart it and it struggled to turn over a few times before finally coming back on. Stalled again pulling into my parking lot. Next day I tried to go to the store again and same thing happened pulling into store and pulling into parking lot.... this happened a few months back, after an oil change it stopped, but this time I am not due for an oil change and oil level is fine.
Loss of power which causes vehicle to stall without warning. 30% oil and full tank of gas. The battery light comes on and the car stalls as I apply the brake to slow down at a stop. This has happened 4 separate occasions.
Two times in the last week my car has stalled while I was driving. The first time I was turning onto a busy street and was stuck in the middle and the second time I was on railroad tracks. No lights came on to indicate a problem before it shut off. It took multiple tries before the car turned back on. No codes come up when checking for a problem so mechanics have told me there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.
