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.

While in motion, the Chrysler 200 will shut off completely causing near death accidents. Electronic system will cause lights to flicker and causing the transmission not to engage. The vehicle occasionally will not exceed 20 mph. I no longer feel safe in the vehicle and should be addressed

This car turned off in the middle of the hwy, almost killing myself and passengers, it now says the transmission needs to be serviced. The car will not get up to 35 mph. I have taken this car to the dealership 3 times in 3 months. Every time I do I get a lame reason why the car is acting up but it is never fixed. I am currently using social media to inform others of how chyrsler handles their customer busi9. I will continue to do so to make sure no one ever buys a car from chyrsler. Also we are suing chyrsler at this moment so I can't say too much. But please do not buy Chrysler they are all trash!

When I was driving down the road the car almost shut off on me and I pulled over shut it off and turned it on and it was fine for a little while. Then my car randomly shuts off and says service park brake and service transmission. It will not come back on. I looked on the threads online to see what might be the problem and there are so many people that have had the same issues I'm having since they first purchased their vehicle. It is very dangerous to have a car try to shut off on you in the middle of the road.

After driving the car 30 minutes or more and I turn it off, it will not restart for another 30 minutes or more. It had left me stranded as well as caused me to be late for work jeapordizing my job and my safety. The car has been to 2 different dealers and they cannot find anything wrong. I cannot trade it in because the blue book value is less than what I owe. I feel that Chrysler should compensate me for this vehicle by buying it back at the price I paid. Sometimes the dash says 'engine warming up, please wait.'

The car will intermittently stall and shut off while driving. The car has done this numerous times while in motion on both the highway and city streets. It happened again today and every day last week, Monday thru Friday, while driving to work. The problem has progressively gotten worse and happens just about every time the car is driven. It usually happens after 20+ minutes of continuous driving. After it stalled today it would not start for 45 minutes. Chrysler and the dealership have basically washed their hands of correcting the problem at this point. They state the recall for this very problem has been completed. Yet the car continues to have the same issue as the recall that was done to fix the original issue. The dealership now wants to charge to diagnose and fix the problem.
