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.

2015 Chrysler 200S transmission failures. Numerous times the gear would slip from drive to neutral while at stoplights. The dashboard would instruct me to shift into park the choose desired gear. That's if I'm lucky and the shift knob doesn't lock, preventing me from shifting into park or any other. Numerous times it has disengaged from drive to neutral while driving on the highway at speeds ranging from 55 mph to 70 mph. Having find a way to the shoulder with no power while activating the hazard lights has proven quite disturbing to maneuver through traffic. Several times it has slipped out of drive while going through intersections leaving me disabled in the middle of busy roads at the mercy of oncoming traffic, hoping they brake in time. It has nearly been the cause of several wrecks having loss of power, steering wheel becomes hard to turn and I've nowhere to turn off of road for lack of shoulder or curbs creating obstacles. Regardless of where it occurs, if the shift knob is locked, the car is not budging. It is locked in the transmission preventing any way of pushing it. I can't drive my son anywhere for fear it could result in something I'd rather not think of.
The car stalls and also accerlates when it shouldnt which could cause a crash. I know at least 8 other people besides myself who has recently had the same issue of their car stalling and now their air and my air is not working. In this tx heat this is unacceptable especially when I have to travel with my children. In my instance I was driving my car on the city street. It was working fine then all of a sudden it stalled acted as if it didnt want to move out of nowhere we could have been hit. I pulled over turned off the car for awhile observed the car to see if I could see anything visably wrong. I then tried my car again and like that it was working as normal except my air was no longer working as it was just before
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.'
2015 Chrysler 200 limited when accelerating from park the car is reving to 3rd and 4th but going slowly getting stuck between those two gears then jerking and giving dragging affect after. While on the highway or street car drags after stopping and then accelerating. Var feels as if it is fishtailing and the wheels are getting stuck for a mibute before it jerks back into place. Air bag sensor goes on and off from time to time. When it comes on it will sometimes stay on for days sometimes weeks at a time. Oil changes have been done regularly. Juat started happening on 6/19/2019. Car seems to pull and vibrate even harder when the A/C unit is on. Car also has a hard vibrating noise under hood. Miles:93,800 transmission is under warranty until 100,000 miles no check engine light has came on as of yet.
My transmission does not shift proper, hard shift's into gears and shifts intermittently. I have been taking my vehicle into the shop for two years. The techs tell me Chrysler doesn't know how to fix the issue and that I can live with
Check engine light came on, using code P03 misfire on cylinder one; replaced cylinder one and spark plug still coming on and battery flunctuating. Shop stayed it's an electrical issue not the cylinder itself. Battery jumps up and down when in idle and hesitates to start. Do not feel safe taking it anywhereb
While driving down the street, the car stalled. This has happened 3 times within the last 5 days. It is unknown as to why this is happening, but the car stalling while driving in the flow of traffic, is a safety risk. During this time, the car would not shift into neutral, and after pressing the start button again, the car starter was continually trying to turn over and start, but didn't. after getting assistance, the car was finally pushed out of the middle of the street from it's stalled position. After getting pushed to a parked position, it finally started, but I didn't want to take the chance of it stalling again, since this has happened three times now.
While I am driving my car as I'm coming to a stop it will start shaking and shut off as I'm driving. I have to start to push it 2-3 times before it cuts back on. It does it about 2-4 times a day. The battery light will start flashing when it cuts off, but auto zone has tested the battery and alternator and they both passed the test. It's been happening for a month now where it will just shut off as im driving sometimes without any of the shaking it will just shut off as I'm driving.
My car wouldn't start when you hold down the breaks and the start button and it has when it rains or after it rains but I change the battery and the key fob battery not that long ago and I'm confused on what's happening.
1. air bag light stays on constantly 2. engine light is on 3. issues with car not alliwing phones to connect to car 4.**** major issue is that car is stalling..turns off totally. Eventually turns bacj on but yesterday it took a while..I had to press diwn on the break and keep pumping it. We were not stationary we were driving
A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait to repair because I thought the vehicle needed freon. After taking the vehicle to the dealership the compressor needs to be replaced. The extended warranty expired. Since the car is computerized I have to pay for updates and electrical issues. Now the seat belt light is on due to two bad harness under the seat. An update was allegedly repaired of the car jumping, the car stills jumps. The vehicle is slowly deteriorating at my expense. Chrysler has stated they will not help me. This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately.
The air compressor and seat belt harness has gone bad and the vehicle is less than 5 years old. The A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait until 2019 to replace what I thought was the freon.

My car has always acted like it wants to quit when coming to a stop or taking off. I'm on my third battery since purchase. The last battery was replaced one month ago. Now last week a car cut me off at a light. When I slammed on my brakes my car quit making me miss the light! when trying to restart it really doesn't make any sounds and then it just starts! then again yesterday I was coming to a red light I was almost completely stopped when the light turned green I went to go but my car quit again at a green light ! I could've been rear ended! again I put it in park to restart and it doesn't make any starting noises but eventually starts! when driving it's fine but when stopping and taking off it acts like it wants to quit and now it's quit on me twice in one week!
"takata recall". my airbag light sensor on the dash of my vehicle lit up along with the seatbelt light while I was driving by myself with the seatbelt on correctly and nothing sitting in any of the passenger seats. The dash displays a message of "service airbag system". when coming to a stop, the dash displays"driver seatbelt unbuckled" while my seatbelt is buckled. I have checked the vehicle for recalls and none are currently listed with the NHTSA or the dealership under my particular VIN. I have had the vehicle diagnosed at a Chrysler dealership/service center and was notified that the orc ("occupant restraint controller") was non responsive. They (Chrysler service center employee) informed me that I was responsible for the care and maintenance of the safety device that is defective in my vehicle. While sitting in park with the vehicle motor running in a parking lot there were three loud pops in my vehicle and a smelly smoky substance throughout the vehicle. I did not see any air bags visibly deploy.
We were driving down the road and there were no cars or anything around to cause what happened. We heard a loud bang or explosion like a gun going off and it hurt my ears and made them ring. It like stunned us almost like when you wreck a car feeling. I checked myself for blood and asked the others in my car were they ok.we pulled over to check and my sunroof had exploded. What's left up there was push outward like the car had pressure in it and that's how it released it. I need the company to fix it but they won't.we called the headquarters as soon as we got to the house and took the car to the dealer as the requested the very next day and they will not fix it and its their fault for using whatever glass they used or maybe the body of the car twist to much. Its their build and O their fault. I didn't make this car or do anything to it.
