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.

First, my car problem starts 2 weeks ago with heating sensor stopped working suddenly and it shows take to the dealer and I fixed it. After that problem continues with the new sensor as well. After driving couple of miles, it shows you required a service of the sensor and it goes on/off on its own when I take to the dealer it says it's fine after inspection. After that check engine starts popping up along with service of heat engine sensor. I think I have wasted my hard earned money on Chrysler 200 and I am not gonna refer it to anyone as I have driven Honda before so expectations were high.
Vehicle engine cylinder walls suffered from excessive scoring during the time it was manufactured. The car constantly stalls, shakes, and jerks when driving and during idle periods. This vehicle is very unsafe to drive, due to the fact that control over the vehicle is limited because of theconstant shaking and rumbling of the steering wheel while driving. While I was driving the Chrysler car on the highway, the vehicle almost shut off completely, subsequently putting me and my newborn baby at risk of a fatal accident. The vehicle has also been diagnosed with many other issues with the power train components of the engine. One morning in my garage, the 200 would not crank when pressing the push button ignition and after this, the manual transmission would not shift the vehicle into neutral in order for the car to be towed. This vehicle was purchased brand new in 2015, and Chrysler has failed to fix or acknowledge these issues.

After work I go to start my car and there was a hard start and then my car died. The engine felt like it was going to pop out of the hood. Well, Chrysler was informed and my car was towed next day to the dealership. My service man called approximately 45 min after my car was delivered to them explaining to me I was about 2 quarts low on oil. This is impossible I explained to him. On the driver side there is a sticker showing I just got my oil change not to long ago. My service man said this is a known problem with this engine. This type of engine burns oil and I recommend when you fill up your tank to check your oil every time. I fill up once a week so I have to check my oil once a week!" this is ridiculous my new car burns oil!" good thing this happened after work. What if my car would have stalled while driving with my kids. I drive across town to take and pick up my kids from school. Now I have to carry a quart of oil so my car doesn't stall and die on
2015 Chrysler 200 driving the vehicle on multiple occasions, at least 10 to count the vehicle has randomly lost power and the engine fails. At this point I'm terrified to drive the vehicle for which I just purchased three months ago on the highway this vehicle would be a death trap. Furthermore the vehicle passenger side airbag light is illuminated indicating that it will not comply I've called Chrysler end the Chevy dealer for which I purchase the vehicle and they told me there's no recall and it appears that my warranty will not pay for the car to get fixed.
The engine light continues to remain on while in drive mode the gear shifts remain to move accordingly #1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8 the transmission is starting to slip while in driving mode and that the airbags system is continued to blink on and off these are some of the bad defects that's happening as of now I'm afraid of really driving these vehicle due to faulty systems that may be more than a issue the problems started when in parking and drive mode.
The engine light came on and never went out and that the airbag service systems keep on coming on the my car sometimes speed and then it will not accelerate beyond 45 miles it seems that the car engine is ready to go out at anytime or moment while driving the gear shift is jumping from #1, #2#3#4#5#6 also temp for the outside of the vehicle has been messing up along with the time. I'm not sure what else would happen if I continue to drive it. The car may cause problems later on while driving I don't have any warranty on this vehicle to be repaired and that I have read the recall of all chrylser vehicles from 2010-17 these are the same exact problems that I'm having the parking lights and engine light had came on during parking and stayed on till I left work on the 04/28/17 and 04/29/2017 it also has started to jerking a few weeks ago till now also. I'm afraid to drive it because I just may have a wreck while driving this vehicle. I'm not really as to what is happening with the vehicle.
I was on the highway and the car stalled several times. I sat on the side lane and turned the car off for a minute. I started it up again and proceeded to get off the highway the car accelerated less than 20 miles per hour. My daughter and I were terrified before the car stopped suddenly and cars had to break behind us to avoid hitting the car. I had to put the car in park and put my hazard lights on and it took a while for the car to start up again for me to pull on the side of the highway. It has done this more than just this incident. At stop lights and while driving on the street the engine will stall and take a minute to start up again.

This vehicle has shut off on me while driving. I was driving home from work last night and the car just shut off, telling me to shift to park and select desired gear. The gear indicator was still showing I was in drive, but the engine was completely off. I tried to start the car 3 more times and it wouldn't start. I purchased this car November, 21, 2015. Luckily I wasn't driving fast or anything, I was able to just sit in the road until the car came back on. I am really terrified to drive this vehicle anymore.
