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 vehicle randomly starts in neutral with the service park break light illuminated. It will not shift at all, turns on and off, but starts in neutral. First happened in September 28, 2019, I go to the store, turn my car off, go in purchase my items, and when I come back and start my car, it starts in neutral after purchasing the vehicle in may with almost 40,000 miles. It was less than 50,000 when it first occurred, and is just over 50 now that it has happened again. This will be the third time having to take it to the dealer for this issue. Every time it does this it usually out somewhere. The vehicle is always off and stationary when it occurs. First time I was told it was missing an ars relay, and that's why it was doing it. Last time I was told the computer needed to be reprogrammed. I now have to get the car out of my garage, so I can have it towed to the dealer again to see what non-sense they will tell me this time. They think because I'm a woman that I don't have common sense. I hate my local dealers service department, and now I have to go back yet again after only having the vehicle back maybe 2 weeks, to see why it only starts in neutral.
Active grill shutter error code. Ags shutters are easily broken, these shutters are not meant to withstand Ohio winters. A small amount of ice build up caused the shutters to brake and/or got stuck closed. I've had to remove the ags completley to discover every shutter was broke. Without the ags working correctly the check engine light is on 100% of the time and the automatic car starter is canceled out. It was a normal winter day when I discovered the problem. My car was stationary and the driveway.

The shifting mechanism, in the automatic cycle, of this vehicle jerks or lurches significantly, especially at the 25-35 mgh rate. The transmission was re-programmed but the vehicle continues to lurch when accelerating. In slow traffic, the vehicles lurches continually and in some cases, close to hitting the vehicle in front of me. Same in sport mode. Also have transmission fluid changed with no help.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 cuts off while driving. There are no warning lights on the dash yet. The vehicle cuts off approximately up to three times a day, which is quite scary especially due to the fact of it doing so in the middle of moving traffic. There is no specific time where it cuts off, its random. I have to take a few minutes to restart and when I do restart it stall as if it does not wan to crank, but eventually ends up cranking. This issue recently started a few weeks ago, and I have only had this vehicle for a year.
I was in a hurry and got out of my car without shutting it off. I ran to get the shuttle to take me to work 2 miles a way with the keys in my purse, when I returned 9 hours later my care was still running and the gas tank was almost empty. I thought if you took the key away from the car and accidentally left it running it would automatically shut off after 30 minutes. Am I wrong about this function" as for the transmission it has been slipping in D4 randomly, while driving. The car has less than 65000 miles and I have only owned it for 4 months. Is this a normal transmission complaint"
The cars entire computer system went out and had to be replaced. Luckily, I was stopped when it officially quit working, but prior to that it had been stalling. When the computer system stopped working I could not start the car or turn any of the internal systems on. Also, the paint on the door randomly started peeling with no rusting or any reason to. The paint has never been redone before and is the manufactured paint.

The transmission drive trans is making a clunking noise every time you would stop I took it in and they updated the PCM and transmission control module it shifted better but the clinking noise is still there.the E break automatically comes on frequently when you put it in reverse out of nowhere. The clinking noise happens more when you're in the city and on the highway end it feels like the ABS comes on as well but not for sure
