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.

The car starts fine, but will die when idling or at a decline in speed. Will shut off have you place the car back in park to try and restart. Sometime it will start after 5 seconds after shut off and others will take a few minutes. Its a hard restart when it does start, and drives rough for the first 5 miles or so, and returns to driving fine. My car has done this mulitple times at red lights and while turning onto a exit ramp durning the deceleration onto a highway.

When the vehicle is in neutral is sputters and the electrical flickers. I replaced the battery and it is still doing it. The rpms randomly fluctuate and it's not consistent. I feel like the vehicle is just going to stall out as I'm driving down the freeway. Also the ignition button I have to hold on and cannot just push the start button. It's just not running properly.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate. When depressing the accelerator pedal, the rpms increased before the vehicle suddenly lunged forward. On multiple occasions, the vehicle stalled while driving without warning. The cause of the failures was not determined. Falkner Chrysler (6643 carlisle pike, mechanicsburg, pa) and the manufacturer were both notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was invalid.

After reaching 75,000 miles, my car started to stall and turn off by itself while driving. I performed an oil change, made sure all the maintenance was up to date, etc. It has a new battery less than a year old, new tires, etc. Eventually it stalled and shut off on its own while stopped and would not turn back on. Every time I try to turn it back on, it stalls and shuts off but the shifter lights blink repeatedly. I have a code that appeared on a mechanic's code reader which was U1504. He could not diagnose it. Chrysler would not look at it and wanted $125 just to do diagnostics. I just wanted to know if this was one of the recalled issues as I know they have been having engine and transmission issues.

When I'm driving the vehicle after a few feet of driving the vehicle my car begins to to shake then it turns off, while I'm on the street. A lot of lights begin to turn on then my car turns off again. When I try to turn it off the transmission locks into neutral and won't let me turn it off. At some point once the lights turn on my speed begins to slow down, from going at 75 on the freeway it slowly start to decrease and when I hit the gas pedal it takes a while to pick up the speed. It's been like that for about a month.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 will just die while being driven. I started the car drove less than a mile when it turned off and coasted to a stop. I tried to restart the car but it just kept making noises, as I kept trying to get it to start it caused the battery to drain so low I had to call aaa. This seems to be a big problem as there are a ton of other people that have had this same issue!

Driving 60 mph on highway, car shuts down completely. Not first time and happens every couple of months. Dealership acts as if they don't know how to fix problem. I am a single mother with 2 young children riding in this car. Does one of us have to risk dying or serious injury for Chrysler to acknowledge or fixed this problem.

This is a serious safety hazard. Not only happening to me but my friends with the same car and model as well. There is a stalling issue this car carries that is super hazardous. It has almost got me and my daughter killed. My car stalled into a intersection and its stalled on train tracks with my baby in the car. Power steering goes off completely as well. This is a hazrd to not only us but the people around us as it can happen at anytime without any kinda of warning. This happend mostly while my vehicle is in motion. It doesn have a specific time T dos it. Its very random

My 2015 Chrysler 200 cuts off while driving. There are no warning lights on the dash yet. The vehicle cuts off approximately up to three times a day, which is quite scary especially due to the fact of it doing so in the middle of moving traffic. There is no specific time where it cuts off, its random. I have to take a few minutes to restart and when I do restart it stall as if it does not wan to crank, but eventually ends up cranking. This issue recently started a few weeks ago, and I have only had this vehicle for a year.

The car stalled out and completely shut off as I was driving 30 mph. It was extremely dangerous and could've caused a accident. It wouldn't turn back on for about a minute. This has happened twice in the past week. I looked up other people who have had same issue and it shows there was a recall for the vehicle. A lot of others had the same issue. The recall number was S09. I need to know what I should do with my vehicle as soon as possible. It's too dangerous to drive. This happened with my kids in the car.

I am continuing to have a several transmission problems with the car since I bought it I was not aware of the issues that these vehicles had with transmission I have been to the Chrysler dealership more than once. Not only do they provide the word customer service that I have ever had but they told me that the car just needs to be updated like an iphone which is not something I've ever heard of. Today it would not shift into the correct gear and almost had me hit somebody in rear-end them it is very unsafe and has happened more than once. I need help.

Vehicle overheats after driving on highways and coming to an idle in traffic. There are no check engine lights, all liquids are topped off, car will then show no symptoms for a month or two later it will occur once again. Car randomly overheats in the most dangerous situations and there are no check engine lights that come up, while coolant is topped off. Examples of situations driving from san diego to la hour and 40 minutes into the drive we exit the freeway go to a drive-through at carl's jr. And the car begins to overheat there are no check engine lights and coolent was at the correct level, we pulled over allowed car to cool down, continued with our drive no other situation of car overheating return to san diego 2 hour drive no signs of overheating for the next two months. I'm driving through traffic car begins to overheat pull over and allow car to cool no signs of overheating for the next few weeks. About four other situations of the same nature occurred since, the car continues to indicate nothing is wrong yet the car continues to overheat
