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 bought a 2015 Chrysler 200C about 2years ago. A few days ago my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and had it checked and they said that my engine have a defect in it which caused the cylinder heads to malfunction. I was told this is common with the V6 engines in these vehicles. I was told that Chrysler put a extended warranty on 2011 models thru 2014. My 2015 although ithas the same engine didn't make the cut. Everyone I call say my warranty expired and there's nothing they can do now I'm stuck with a car that I'm paying for that's practically no good

Engine tends to stall out when making sharp right turns. Has happened 2 times now, luckily I was near a vacant parking lot to stop the vehicle and restart. Once stopped and in park, engine hesitates to start then drives as if nothing has happened. No engine codes, warning lights, or auras to give sight to a potential problem.

My car recently just started to just turn off while I was driving. I just bought a new battery at autozone with a 2 year warranty and I'm sure the battery isn't the issue. In 2016 I had to have the engine replaced at my own cost because they said there was an issue with the engine. I was so angry because I had just leased the car. I don't know why my car just turns off. I do the oil changes every 4 montha

After starting car and driving for a few hundred feet, battery light will flash and then engine will stall out in the middle of the road the message "shift vehicle to park (P)" will also appear on the dash. After shifting to park and turning off, the engine will not turn over for several minutes. The battery light does not come on any other time and the battery was recently changed.

Two times in the last week my car has stalled while I was driving. The first time I was turning onto a busy street and was stuck in the middle and the second time I was on railroad tracks. No lights came on to indicate a problem before it shut off. It took multiple tries before the car turned back on. No codes come up when checking for a problem so mechanics have told me there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.

When I attempt to turn my car on, I receive a message that says engine warming please wait to start. I wait a few minutes and it's turns on. While driving today it turned off in the middle of the street and when I would attempt to start it I would get the same message. Car would not start at all.

My car frequently shuts off while driving and it'll stall. Most of the time it starts back up and runs like nothing happens with no lights when I got it checked it was no found issue with the vehicle regarding the engine, power train etc. It's in good condition and well maintained. I'm not sure of the issue I did research that other vehicles have been recalled due to this issue and when I looked at the complaints it's exactly what my car does

I purchased this car brand new and I've had the same problem to the current date. The car engine will shut off while I am driving. I took it back to the dealer and they said it was a software problem and they updated the software. The car worked fine for a while and then started to have the same problem. I took the car back and the dealership said there was no problem found with the car. Now the car is not under warranty and I'm stuck with this problem and a payment for this death trap. This past week the car has stalled multiple times. It will shut off and the "D" light will blink. I put the car in park, shut it off, and then try to restart. It struggles to restart, and then will finally start. This happened while I was making a left turn and left my family and I coasting in front of oncoming traffic. I have made a right hand turn and the car engine shut off causing the car behind me to sla. On brakes and drive up on the sidewalk. This issue is very dangerous. My car is not listed under a recall, but it is having the same issue as Chrysler 200's that are being recalled. Trading this car will only set up another buyer because this issue is not detectable. No check engine light or any other caution light comes on.

Several times while driving my car the engine had completely shut off stopping me in traffic. Once I was trying to make a turn, twice I was stuck in a busy intersection, I turned on my hazard lights each time. Everytime the lights for the gears was flashing back N forth between the gears.. I turned the car off waited awhile, every-time I became a sitting duck. I'm afraid I'm going to be killed in this car. Hopefully this car is a recall. Below I listed the most recent date.

All kinds of things Chrysler 200. My car has 31000 miles and there's alot of things wrong with it. If it doesn't heat up for 15 to 20 min the car will sputter and due every time I slow down, sometimes it goes into limp mode. Also sometimes it does shift right and the oil pressure light comes on and off when I slow down to go around corners and it gets to sputter and due out. I've had a couple occasions that I have been driving 35 to 40 mph and the car just dies on the road while driving.

As I am driving the parkway going about 60 mph my car with out any warning started with flashing red on the dashboard. The temperature gauge started going from hot to cold and the engine symbol flashed on dash board. I was in the left hand lane with a significant amount of traffic passing me. Within 2-3 minutes as I started to go down hill the dash flashed steering will be disabled, then autobrading with be disabled. The radio at this point shut off and it was difficult to steer the car. There was little acceleration when I tried to give it gas to keep with the pace of the other vehicles attempting to move to the side of the road. I put my hazardous flashers on but because I did not have a dash board screen I was sure they were working everything electrical seemed to be off. I finally made it to the side of the road and the car went about 3 feet and stopped. I was not able to put the car in park once I got to the side of the road. It was difficult for the tow company to pull the vehicle because the wheels were locked and they had to use special equipment.

  • 23,300 miles
While driving my vehicle stalls out and gives me a message on the cluster to, "shift to park to start". when I stop the vehicle and shift to park I press the button to start and it hesitates and sometimes have to press 3 or 4 times before it starts. Then I press on the gas while in park and it is a very slow climb in the rpms. After a few attempts at pressing the gas it seems to be ok. I then shift into drive and it moves a few feet and does the same stalling out and error message on the cluster. This has happened several times while on the highway, city streets and sometimes turning. I am scared to drive this vehicle and seeing that there are recalls but none for my VIN # and alot of the descriptions are similar to what I am experiencing.
