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.

The transmission is not going into gear when the knob is turned there are several complaints about this I was told there where no open recalls about this problem. I feel if the auto maker knows about this they should address my concern with or without a recall.

It eventually starts back up but this happens without warning and also in the moddle of traffic.. hate ro say but does somebody have ro loose there life before something is done about this issue. I've come across this issue with 1 million cars of this make and model. I checked to see if there was a recall for my car but of there wasnt.. im stuck what do I do"?"

I bought a 2015 Chrysler 200C about 2years ago. A few days ago my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and had it checked and they said that my engine have a defect in it which caused the cylinder heads to malfunction. I was told this is common with the V6 engines in these vehicles. I was told that Chrysler put a extended warranty on 2011 models thru 2014. My 2015 although ithas the same engine didn't make the cut. Everyone I call say my warranty expired and there's nothing they can do now I'm stuck with a car that I'm paying for that's practically no good

My car frequently shuts off while driving and it'll stall. Most of the time it starts back up and runs like nothing happens with no lights when I got it checked it was no found issue with the vehicle regarding the engine, power train etc. It's in good condition and well maintained. I'm not sure of the issue I did research that other vehicles have been recalled due to this issue and when I looked at the complaints it's exactly what my car does

I've purchased my vehicle in 2017. About four to five months down the line I've had to take it to the dealership twice because my transmission lights just pops on while on the freeway and switches gears while driving. I told the dealership and they felt nothing was wrong but this is an on going thing.

When stopped or slowing down from barnes road that crosses powers one of the busy roads in Colorado springs, the car shoots forward real fast almost shooting me into on coming traffic. This has happened several times now, but my foot is on the break.. then when you let your foot off the break it wont move like it has slipped out of gear, I push the gas pedal a couple of times and then it goes into gear. At times when you put it in reverse all of a sudden the E break engages and it jolts you to a dead stop, I have to push the button a couple of times for it to release. I'm starting to wish I never bought this car,

All kinds of things Chrysler 200. My car has 31000 miles and there's alot of things wrong with it. If it doesn't heat up for 15 to 20 min the car will sputter and due every time I slow down, sometimes it goes into limp mode. Also sometimes it does shift right and the oil pressure light comes on and off when I slow down to go around corners and it gets to sputter and due out. I've had a couple occasions that I have been driving 35 to 40 mph and the car just dies on the road while driving.

My transmission jerks very bad in between every gear. One moring I was driving out of my house and I heard a loud pop from under the car and smelled something burning I see every other 200 is on the recall for the transmission but this one I really wish someone would look in to it. The dealer said it's normal for the car to shake and jerk I work on cars that's not true.

Over the last 3-4 days my 2015 Chrysler 200 has been very unpredictable, leaving my self and my family afraid and unable to drive it. Several times, while in motion on a main highway and on a a city street (X3) my vehicle has completely jolted me to a stop, either shutting down or saying I was in P instead of drive. Obviously, I had started and shifted to drive to get from point a to my "shut down" location, which leaves me confused on why it would say I was in park all of the sudden. No, my emergency break was not on. Also, it also seems as if it was try sticking in either D3 or D4 gears randomly from time to time over the last week. I was helped by 3 officers to get my vehicle pushed and moved back to my residence. This last incident occurred while trying to break at a stop light. I am unsure of the components causing these problems so I am listing them as unknown. I have reviewed 8 recalls pertaining 2015 Chrysler 200S but am unsure of a recall number I would list.

1) power train-while traveling on interstate at 65mph the transmission pops out of gear. I had to pull over put the car in park and then back to drive before it would go. It also happened when I was pulling away from a stop sign making a right turn it popped out of gear and wouldn't go. I drifted to the side of the road stopped, went to park and back to drive. The car acts confused form time to time. From a stop position at take off the transmission jerks and then thumps before it goes into gear. 2). cruise control- traveling down interstate in the mountain region of N. Georgia, my cruise was set for 55mph. The cruise picked up speed up to 70 mph then the car started jerking very confused at what it was suppose to be doing. The brake wouldn't release the cruise control. I did get it released once the RPM's settled down. It has happen several times at various locations in the mountains and on flat ground. 3) the head lights are the worst lights I've ever seen on a car. When going down the road you may have 30 ft. That you can see in front of you. When going up and incline what so ever. Your visibility from the headlight is approximately 20 foot in front of you. Terrible headlights. Its scary going up any incline not being able to see what's 25 foot in front of you. All of these issues have been reported at my dealership. All of these issues have happen on more than one occasion.

I've only had my car for less than 2 months now and the car is not switching gears properly, the car also will not start sometimes the message displays that it is not in park and will not start for a while. On 11/22/2019 the car would not start and it also would not turn off, it was stuck in acc and on mode, it took about 3 hours to get the car to completely shut down. Also, while I'm driving when it actually moves it acts like it wants to cut off while driving on the streets.
