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.

When I started my car an alert said service shifter. When I started to drive and came to stop a red light another alert said service trans stop safely shut off engine to engage park
My car is stalling out after take off, and hessitates to get started again. Its been doing it since 1-6-18 and today is 1-8-18. It has a new battery that I put in it.
I've had to have the thermostat replaced twice within the time I've owned this vehicle. Once under warranty at low mileage once at 58,600 miles I've never had issues with replacing the thermostat in this short frequency of time. I'm having to pay over $400 to replace a thermostat which was already replace by Chrysler. An investigation into faulty Chrysler parts needs to be opened and a recall issued.

On 9/16/18, vehicle died and would not start. After several attempts, it started, then while driving down the road, vehicle lost all electrical power and came to a stop in the middle of traffic. Car was towed to dealer where they trouble shooted for several days trying to reproduce the electrical power failure. They found a services bulletin about electrical connection and replaced wiring harness. Over the next several months I noticed my vehicle felt like the transmission was slipping. As time went on, I realized it wasn't a slipping, but a hard shift. The vehicle would also loose power upon acceleration to merge into traffic or changing lanes. This was very scary, but at times it seemed as if the vehicle might lose complete power and die while in heavy highway speed traffic. On 10/11/2018 while having my vehicle oil changed, I asked the technician to drive the vehicle to confirm what I was feeling with the transmission. The technician agreed that the transmission was in fact not shifting or functioning properly. I obtained a quote to have the transmission serviced. The technician advised have the transmission flushed/serviced might help, but often times flushing can cause symptoms to worsen. I opted to not have the transmission flushed/serviced at that time and planned to take my vehicle into the dealer after the holidays. It is now the the 3rd week in December and just this week the hard shifting and loss of power when the vehicle downshifts to merge into highway speed traffic has worsened significantly. I phoned the Chrysler dealer today and spoke with my service advisor to schedule an appt. I am to call back on Wednesday 12/26 to reserve a courtesy vehicle and schedule appt. To drop my vehicle off on 12/27/2018
Takata recall, on the dash it says engine warming wait to start, I have to press start and off 7 to 15 times before it starts and sometimes it just reads engine warming wait to start
I can be driving it down the road it will shut it’'s self off. Will not start for about 15 to 20 minutes. This happend last night and when it did I was rear ended. When it does this the breaks lock up no matter how hard U push on them they won’T budge. Also it will try to start but the engine cranks at a really low speed but after awhile takes off. Also if you let it warm up it runs jus fine sometimes. Had it put on machine was told it was a map sensor replaced it and still got the same problem. Changed battery in key fob and car battery and still doing the same thing. Seen numerous people on here having the same issue. After replacing all that took to put back on a machine and was told I can’T help you cause it’'s not throwing any codes what do I do I got a car that I still owe almost 14,000 dollars on that is unsafe to be driving. The car does this when it’'s being driven can let set for hours and stays running but I can’T even make it 3 blocks without it dying and not starting back up for awhile. It’'s pathetic as for the date at the bottom that says when did this happen I’ll put it like this it happens every time I try to go anywhere it should be recalled and properly fixed.
Takata recall, I own a 2015 Chrysler 200S only 40K miles. Sometimes when I'm driving it pops up warnings for my transmission then vegans driving horrible. I hit the gas it stalls, dies, it is very dangerous. Then next day back to normal.
Car would not start smelled like it has a electrical short. I went into the store to pick up so item when I can back I pressed the start engine button but the car would not start. Someone came and gave me jumpstart but there was not a problem with the battery then someone came to tow but was not able to because they couldn't get the car to go into neutral. Tow truck driver said that the rain may have cause an electrical short.
Driving my 2015 Chrysler 200S and I'm hearing squeaky noise whenever I go over a bump in the road. Took my car to the shop and was told that I need a lot of front end work done, and that my lower control arms were bad as well as my struts. To add more insult there are no struts on the market for this car. This car is only 3 years old......
My car is doing a lot of weird stuff that I'm getting tired of. It's been giving me issues starting and reving when my foot is off of the gas. The cars engine lights keeps coming on and going off and traction control came on and went of. This car is giving me issues and I'm tired of this lemon. Regret so much buying this car and never will I ever again by another Chrysler.
For the last 2 weeks my car will turn off while driving and direct me to shift to park. I do not have any warning lights on at this time. I does not matter if I am turning, driving straight, slowing down or at a stop sign.
While driving, the car stops and the light flashes. First time it happen was 9/18/18 the car completely stop while I was driving, luckily, it wasn't a lot of traffick and the second time I was proceeding to a stop light 9/20/18. I am nervous to even drive the car but I have no other choice to drive it for the moment.
Since 08/18/18, the vehicle stalls while in motion and becomes difficult to restart. This has become a daily occurrence and makes the vehicle unsafew to drive as it does stall with the vehicle in motion and occurs without any warning sign.
Car will shut off for no reason while driving, posing a hazard to other drivers. Has happened 3 times within a year and a half. Dealership has no answer why.
