2015 Chrysler 200

MOSTLY HWY DRIVING~ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MOST TIMES THE SCREEN WILL RESET, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WITH IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. STORED CODES HAVE BEEN P1DA9, P073E. I'VE TAKEN THE CARE TO THE DEALER, SOFTWARE RESET-ONLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. SEARCHED FOR RECALL BY VEHICLE AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 7, BUT WHEN SEARCHING BY VIN # STATES NONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME BUT I WILL ENTER MOST RECENT DATE WITH COMPLAINT

PURCHASED VEHICLE 24 APRIL 2017. AFTER APPROX. 2 WEEKS THE "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON PANEL CAME ON AND WENT OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS. CALLED AND SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF IT CAME ON AGAIN TO TAKE IT IN TO GET CHECKED. CAME ON AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 2 WEEKS, SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND THE MORNING I TOOK IT IN IT WENT OFF. CAME ON AGAIN AT THE END OF JUNE WHICH WAS ANOTHER 2 WEEKS LATER AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. FIRST COUPLE OF TIME CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, LAST TIME CAME ON RIGHT AFTER CAR WAS STARTED. CAR WILL ALSO MAKING A "JERKY" ACCELERATION MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND ACTS LIKE IT CAN'T ACCELERATE AFTER COMING OUT OF A STOP. MAKES THE "JERKY" ACCELERATION MOTION WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY ALSO. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT OTHERS WHERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS VEHICLE A FULL 4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED, BUT DID NOT SHUT DOWN. THE ODOMETER WARNING INDICATOR BLINKED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CHACON MOTORS IN SAN ANTONIO, TX) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

**I WILL CONTINUE TO POST UNTIL MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED** MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AS ALL OTHER REPORTS. 06/08/17 CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK ON. WHEN IT DID IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN STALL. 06/09/17. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CODE P2172 FOR THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE PAST 32 MPH. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ISSUES WOULD BE AN OPEN OR SHORT IN THE WIRE HARNESS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS DISCUSSED IN THE R24 RECALL HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST YET. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I'M CONFIDENT THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH PEOPLE TO BEGIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT. IF I HAVE TO POST ON HERE AGAIN AND ADD ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR DEATH. THE LAWSUIT WILL HOLD A VERY DIFFERENT MEANING.

FROM JANUARY - APRIL 2017, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR SHIFT GEARS WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THE CAR THROWS UP ERROR MESSAGES REGARDING THE LOSS OF PERFORMANCE SHIFTING AND "LIGHTNING BOLT" SYMBOL. I HAVE TO COAST TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO GET MOVING AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED, I HAD A TRUCK BEHIND ME. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING FAST ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THEY HAVE THOUGHT THEY HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IN AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST MONTH AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD DELAY TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, THE FRONT AND REAR TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE HEAD LIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,971. UPDATED 09/26/17*LJ UPDATED 11/21/2017*JS

ON 1 MAY 2017, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS CRUISING AT 67 MPH ON THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN BUSY MORNING TRAFFIC. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM 67 MPH TO 70 MPH THEN TO 74 MPH WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I CANCELLED CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE CAR STAYED AT THE ACCELERATED SPEED AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THAT TIME. I TAPPED THE BRAKE WITH NO RESPONSE; THEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND FINALLY REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS THEN ABLE TO BRAKE AND SLOW THE CAR DOWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS ACCELERATED TO 74 MPH, I HAD NO CONTROL AND I COULD HEAR THAT IT WAS WINDING AND TRYING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR BUT IT SEEMED STUCK AT 4000 RPMS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I ALSO AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MYSELF. IT'S A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT BECAUSE THE CAR ALSO SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. ON A DAILY BASIS, I CAN FEEL THE CAR SPEED UP WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. THIS SUDDEN SURGE COULD EASILY CAUSE A FENDER BENDER. EACH TIME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS EVENT ON 1 MAY, I WAS OFFERED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN, BUT I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT AND SEE NO NEED SINCE ON BOTH OCCASIONS THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HOPE THEY BUY THIS CAR BACK AS I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE TO TRADE IN PLUS I AM "UPSIDE DOWN" SO I WOULD STILL BE PAYING FOR IT EVEN IF I TRADED IT. I HOPE CHRYSLER DOES THE RIGHT THING BY MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE. SEE ALSO ODI 11102154. *DSY *TT

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.
