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.

This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

When hitting the breaks sometimes the vehicle stalls out in the middle of traffic having to put in park position and try to restart the car. Sometimes take a minute to even restart and it doesn't always let me shift it into drive right away. This in result could cause someone to rear end me. I am noticing there is a recall called R24 which seams to be what is happening to my vehicle.
While driving or accelerating from a stop my vehicle will lose all power and will display a message saying shift to park. The gear knob will flash and lock, the check engine light and other messages will pop up saying to service transmission. Also while accelerating my vehicle jumps. There was one time the vehicle completely stalled while turning. All of my driving is on city streets and very rarely do I drive on a highway.
As I am driving this car was shut off and then I will have to put the car in park restart the car sometimes it will stall before we starting but other times it will restart and then I continue on and this may happen three to four times especially in the morning this is very dangerous for the car to stop while I'm driving without warning it's a hazard and can lead to a bad accident.

I've had multiple issues. First, my car stalled as I was driving down main streets, the first time I took it to the dealership, they said they couldn't find a problem with it. Second dealership I took it to said it was an electrical issue my car was having, kept it for a week, repaired the issue.second time I took it in was because my airbag alert illuminated on the dash, again, they said it was a wiring issue, someone had kicked the wiring loose under the passenger seat.then I had it towed in because it completely stopped on me while I was driving it.now it's in the shop because the malfunction came on, I still attempted to drive it to work, but when I went back out for lunch, it wouldn't start. Roadside jumpstarted it, and it started. Went back out when I got off work and it wouldn't start... however, while I was getting out, the dash lit up as and kept beeping as if the car was running, so I actually had to push the start button to turn it off, weird, right! but then as I'm walking away from the car, it's trying to accelerate on its own, as if I was trying to remote start it. Had it towed to dealership. They're diagnostic explanation for my car - my climate control module doesn't work, and I need a new battery, and yes my door panel had some faulty wires and they're waiting for the parts to repair this, but it's something I have to pay for. When I turn my car to the left, it sounds like something is going to break. My tires slide when it's raining, even though I purchased new ones. Also, my climate control has been beyond functioning. I drive 17 miles to and from work, and I have to turn it down because it's freezing sometimes. It's sad to know I purchased a lemon and that they cannot be honest about their recalls and making sure my safety comes before their negligence., and stop trying to coverup their screwups in manufacturing a total lemon.
My car stalls and dies when slowing for stoplights or slowing traffic. No check engine lights it does eventually restart. Terribly scary when I have my children in the car. No one can figure out what is wrong as it downs throw any codes and no idiot lights come on. This has happened multiple times today being the most recent.
Push button start requires foot on brake, car in park and press of button/ignition. When doing so, the engine will not start. Lights, radio, open door warning bells ding, but car will not start. Fuses and battery have been checked and are good. Car must be boosted off to start. Chrysler will not fix this on their dime even though there are recalls for this on other vehicles of the same make and model as mine. Service and recall team was very rude and refused to offer any help.
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 S I have searched the recall database and it says all recalls have been performed. The vehicle has had issues since I have bought it and to no satisfaction has anything been completed. Lights on my dashboard are flashing and the screen is flashing different systems are malfunctioning. It sits in my driveway I am afraid to move it although now it says it has a misfire and the service AWD light is on. When I did drive it the service transmission light comes on and the car will not drive past 1500 RPM.
The car stalled at a stop sign and stalled again 3 times after that. It read shift to P to start I did that and it would not let me change gear after that. I know this is a common problem with the Chrysler 200 so it should be a recall. This is a huge safety issue it happened while driving in a roundabout and people could have rear ended me.
Car stops while driving it. Very dangerous. Happened twice with this vehicle almost causing an accident which could have been fatal. Engine stopped while car was going 45 mph in heavy traffic. Having it towed to a Chrysler dealer on the 10th of September is as soon as someone can look at it. This car only has 55,000 miles on it and should not be happening. Car has been well maintained and is still being financed.
It all started when I put in on drive and it told me to put it on park and I did and it started to fail it?S keeps turning off and on running and all the lights turn off it was late at night when it shut off and my wife had my car with my kids on the freeway it could of been worse
I was driving about 35 to 40 mph and the car suddenly began to slow down to 5 miles an hour. I pulled over to the side of the road and it shut off. I had it towed where the dealership told me it was the battery.they kept my car for two days. For a new battery. So I popped up there with my fianc and drove around to the back side of the dealership. I got in my car it started right up. My car had not been touched or anything. I went to the service cashier where he tried to say that put a brand new battery in it. But I pulled up my cell phone pics showing it's the same battery that I put red finger nail polish on to show it's my same battery. They made me pay for ' looking St my car' even though they didn't. I never bought another battery. I drove my car off the lot and the next day it did the same thing again except this time the brake pedal was stiff and I was not able to turn the nozzle to put it in gear. I had it towed to another dealership and they said it was 'the battery'. they jumped my car off and sent me on my way. The A/C is going in and out and it smells moldy when I am able to start the piece of sh*t. I tried to trade my car in this passed Sunday and they said I needed a consigner and 10K down. I don't have bad credit. They were just saying that because they know my car isn't worth anything. The salesman antoine strong told me it's only a matter of time before the transmission goes out. I have 75K miles on my car. It has been one nightmare after the other. This is the worst car I have ever had. Please help me get out of this car. Oh the dealership I got this sh*tty car from is landmark Dodge Jeep Chrysler Ram in morrow, ga. They don't care about what type of car you want they only want to put you in a new car. They send me thousands of flyers a year to trade my car in but when I do they don't want it. I was just told by antoine strong!
I have been having issues with this car since day 1 and nobody will do anything about it. First it act like it wants to cut off while I'm driving, then it went to acting like it didn't want to start and now my car has been sitting up for months and will not start at all. It's reading airbag systems and warming engine wait to start. When I wait it still won't start. I'm still paying american car center my money for something I can't even drive and they keep telling me someone will get back with me and never do.

5/30/19 I purchased my car from gage auto sales in Oregon. On 06/01/19 I was left stranded on the side of the road because it would not start. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. On 6/2 dealership said there were no starting issues and no codes and I could pick up the car. Starting issues progressively got worse. Leaving me stranded many times. Check engine light came on 6/23/19. 6/24/19 took car back to the dealership which they had until 07/12/19 stating is was the key fob and push start button. One week it ran fine then rapidly began to not start, check engine lights came on along with transmission lights. The car has been a lemon since day one. The dealership has sent me to a third party mechanic and are telling me the transmission is not covered under my extended warranty. This car had these problems the day after I bought it. It was defective when I purchased it and no one at gage auto sales will help me. I am 23 years old trying to make it on my own and there is no way I can pay 1500 to re-program the transmission. Please help me!
