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.

Radio kept shutting off and rebooting. Now it is completely out. It glitches a light that is draining my battery. When driving it jerks like it is stalling to give it gas.
I purchased my 2015 Chrysler C in 2017. I started having issues with the transmission jumping every now and then. My car is at 60K miles now and I have a sensor light on telling me service AWD. I took it to have it decided and the reading I got back was P1634 and P1634 00. The power train issue has been fixed before I owned it and now from the sounds of it, may be going bad again. I smell a burning smell from time to time when driving on the highway. I'm trying to take my car in to get serviced but everyone's telling me no open recall. However I keep reading about recalls on Chrysler 200 power tranny. I have lost so much money on this car it's ridiculous! my daughter is a new D
While driving into my parking spot suddenly ABS, awb unavailable, performance shifting unavailable, service airbag, cruise control unavailable, front park sense unavailable, lane sense unavailable, dash lights appeared as my car lost any availability to shift gears, accelerate or decelerate
The vehicle would cut off causing me to swerve to the side of the road to avoid an accident. It would stall while driving which also caused issues. Then it would just not start and once taken to the dealership on three separate occasions was told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.
Says to shift into park and restart the car. Takes a few tries to turn on. Check engine light came on and performance shifting unavaliable notice showed up. Now it there is a herking motion everytime the gas is touched.

Car stalled while I was driving once on the highway and I had to swerve on to the side of the ride almost crashing and causing a accident and then a couple of time on the main road which also result into me having to swerve out of traffic almost causing a accident. The car will tell me put it in park I did that and then sometimes it will start up sometime it won't.
Beginning at mileage 83,931 on 4/5/2021, my 2015 Chrysler 200 completely shut off and lost all power while sitting in traffic at a traffic light. The car would not budge nor restart for serval minutes, leaving me stranded at a busy intersection during rush hour traffic. After the car restarted, I drove home while the instrument panel lights would intermittently flicker and go completely dark them come back on as if nothing happened. Today, 4/6/2021, my car shut completely off, no power and no warning, once again leaving me stranded for minutes blocking traffic. The car, once again restarted after waiting approximately six minutes. This is very dangerous and can cause a serious crash and potentially kill me, my children, and other drivers on the road due to the car shutting off without warning while traveling in it. After the incident occurring today, the car behaved as if it were going to shut off while in motion; however, I was able to make it the rest of the way home without further incident.
My car was repaired for a recall in 2016 for the power distribution center. Recently the car has been dying out while stopping, in drive thru and while waiting in traffic. I've brought it to 4 mechanics who couldn't find the issue. Today the mechanic determined that the issues the vehicle is having are in direct relation to the issue that was covered in the original recall. Repair was faulty and dealer is refusing to fix the issue that is happening again.
Vehicle was parked for 30 minutes. Came out of store and car would not start. Changed the battery in store parking lot and still wouldn't start but the battery light and engine light were on.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 C has stalled and stopped 3times while the car was in motion and would not crank back up until after 5 mins the first in a parking a lot and the other two times on a busy highway which could have resulted in me in and my passengers being injured. The recall code for this issue is R24. And was also told that there was a recall on the car but not for that issue
Have had car less than a year. Air bag lights constantly come on and I have to get it repaired - light is on while driving and while stopped. Light came in the day I got the car as I was leaving the lot and they refused to do anything for it. Also the car keeps stalling. Had the battery replaced and alternator checked, which is running almost like brand new. The car still stalls while driving it with no warning signs at all. No lights are on it will just happen, again, with no warnings. Everything gets locked up and I can't even put the car in neural to back it out from the middle of the street. The car can barely handle highway speed limit of 70, the bumps or groves in the road almost feel like it's pushing the car and it will spin out (this is in dry warm weather). I've checked the tires they are fine. The entire suspension is bad and needs replaced. The charging systems for your phones don't always work, it's off and on. The chargers work just fine in the house so it's not the cords itself. Was shown the carfax before buying and there are no accident reports.
Without any warning, vehicle will shut off making it hard to steer and brake. Vehicle will then take upwards of 15 minutes before it will restart. This has happened while in motion, and, while parked.
Heater system, no heat comes out of drivers side, it works on defrost, also passenger side but cold air for the driver. Went to the dealer and they said I needed a new heater core witch don't make sense to me. Why would I need a new heater core if I am getting heat every where else
I was on the highway going 65mph when my vehicle started to slow down to 20mph with alerts saying the transmission needs to be inspected, the shift park gear needs to be inspected and please put vehicle in park before you come to a rolling stop. Once I was able to pull over on the highway the vehicle wouldn't allow me to put the vehicle in park. I then had to turn off the vehicle to force it into park. After I sat for a couple of minutes it allowed me to move further down the highway but did it again in an very bad part of the highway. I had to repeat the steps turn off the vehicle, put the parking brake on then, turn off the vehicle, sit for a few minutes and then the alerts went away but not the engine light. I was able to get off the highway and take the main roads to get to carmax where I bought my vehicle. I was told my car would have to be in the shop for 2 weeks that it has to be shipped to Chrysler because my vehicle has to be rewired entirely that it was an electrical issue. I had this car 2 years no issues so imagine my fear. I didn't know what to do. As I was talking to my co-worker she had the same car she said this was a recall that her vehicle did the same thing a year ago and she had to get it fixed.
