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 was driving home and my transmission and power steering went out on me and caused me to hit a median and I almost got into a serious accident. Chrysler hasn't been professional at all in regards to this recall and I'm disturbed. I could have really been hurt and I'm not ok with the fact I have to come out of pocket for something that isn't my fault and could have potentially died. The car was in motion and I was turning in a busy intersection.

I received a recall notification on my car that the power distribution center (pdc) electrical connector on my vehicle may have spread electrical terminall(s). A spread electrical terminal(s) could cause intermittent electrical connection(s) to certain electrical components. This may result in an engine stall or a shift to neutral event. Either of the conditions may cause a crash without warning. So I called my dealership and set up an appointment to have fixed since I am very concerned and do not want to crash for sure. My first appointment was for October 22nd at 8am. When I got toservic department at the dealership they said oh she forgot to put you down for the recall so we can't fix today because we do ntot have the parts. So I rescheduled to have the recall fixed and that appointment was for Friday November 6th at 8am.I went inside, registered my car, and left my keys with the service department and was on my way. I had my daughter pick me up since I was told that they would need to keep my car for 8 hours and I did not want to sit there for 8 hours. About 45 minutes after leaving my car at the service department I recieved a call from them stating that they would once again not be able to fix my car because they did not have the parts. I am so frustrated at this point. They claim the parts are on back order but I am receiving emails from Chrysler saying parts are available and take your car in immediately to be fixed. I don't know what to do and I just want my car fixed properly. Just the other day it shifted to neutral going down the road at 55 mph, luckily no one was hurt and a crash did not occur. What should I do next??
