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.

After car in motion, it shuts off while driving, noticed that ABS light came on before this happened. Sometimes after it starts, it just shuts down, car goes completely dark, I opened the door and power came back on, then I could re- start it. It is very scary because I was in major traffic when this happened.

When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards on at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue. I do have videos of this, but can not upload them. The date below is the date of one of the videos, this problem occurs daily & has been for several weeks. After purchasing the car, there were a few incidents months apart, then it became more frequent, & for the last several weeks it is a daily occurrence.

I started the vehicle, let it idle for a few minutes. Put it in drive and drove out of my driveway. Got to the corner to make a rt turn and the car died. Dash says to put car in park. I then pressed the start/ignition button and it stalled, had a hard time starting again. Finally started and I drove to the next corner, it stopped again for about 1 minute or more. Finally started. I pulled into a driveway to go back home. It died/stopped again. I let it sit for a couple of minutes after dash said to put in park. It finally started. I headed back home, while driving /in motion, it stopped again, and I was able to pull to the curb. It started rather quickly, and I made it back to park it on the street. I haven't driven it since then, but I did start on June 1, 2019, where I put it in drive to see if it would stall/stop. It did not, but I have not driven it since May 22, 2019. Having it towed on June 4, 2019 to Ontario Jeep/Chrysler to check the issue.

These past few days my car has been stalling out with no warning. All of these times I have been driving in traffic. The car stalls and message will appear to something upon put your foot on the brake and put in park. Once you do that the car will try to restart itself. My car eventually restarts but has still yet restarted on the first try. There is no check engine light on or any other warning codes( no warning codes before nor after the stalling). This is a big safety issue Chrysler needs to look into and address.

The radio/media center software has stopped working. The radio will play and you will hear sounds but you can't see any transactions going on. It stays on the same station that you left it on and it comes on and goes out every minute. The other features won't show at all (media, phone, navigation etc.). it does this while the car is on or off! I tried to fix it via the online information that the websites offers to no avail. This is frustrating and should be a recall. This all happened after the warranty on the car expired of course.
