2015 Chrysler 200

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE RPM METER DISPLAYED INCORRECTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL INDEPENDENTLY ENGAGED, THE DIGITAL COMPASS DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, AND THE GPS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED BECAUSE THE CONTACT FELT HE WOULD NOT BE TREATED FAIRLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE LAST SUMMER (2017) REGARDING MY VEHICLE SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL GETTING STUCK AND BEING DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE. I WANTED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY BUT MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THIS ORGANIZATION (NHTSA) THAT SOME 2015 CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ASSUMING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. I WAS BY TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER EMPLOYEES THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED AND PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS ON MY OWN. I WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUESTING AGAIN THAT CHRYSLER BUY BACK THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY ADMIT NEED TO BE DONE ON SOME OF THE VEHICLES. IF ITS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL OF THE CARS WOULD NEED THE REPAIR SINCE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE. SEE ALSO ODI 10984831. *DSY UPDATED 9/25/18*JB

THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHENEVER I TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON. I'VE CHECKED THE BATTERY THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND THEY WERE ALL GOOD. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPONTANEOUSLY TURNS ON AND TURNS OFF . ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WITH FOOT ON BREAK THE RPM ACCELERATORS, ALSO ONE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT BUT TURNS BACK ON

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN ' IN THE CHRYSLER WOU A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN DASH IN THE CHRYSLER WILL CONSTANTLY FLASHING ALL OF ITS LIGHTS AND TELL ME THAT MY PARKING BRAKE NEEDS SERVICED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICED. I HAVE GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT NEVER SOLVES ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT TENDS TO JUMP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON JUNE 6, 2018 MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN AKRON OHIO DO TO THE CAR JUMPING, ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT AND LOCKING UP THE CAR, SO I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK OR STEER. THE CAR ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE LOCKED UP CAR. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PROPER MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE ON THIS CA I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SEE THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAVE FIXED ANY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SWITCHED INADVERTENTLY FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE SWITCHED TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR KNOB NEEDED TO BE TURNED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS PLACED IN MANUAL MODE IN ORDER TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT CALLED LAKELAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2875 MALL HILL DR., LAKELAND, FL 33810 (863) 687-2501) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL.

LAST YEAR HAD THE CAR IN DO TO THE TRANSMISSION THE SHOP REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WAS GOING 55 AND SEEMED LIKE IT QUIT MOVING THEN THE MOTOR RPMS KEPT GOING UP. FINALLY WE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED IT. RESTARTED IT AND IT SOUNDED VERY ROUGH AT FIRST THEN SETTLED DOWN. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME 5 MINUTES AWAY. NEXT DAY COULDN'T START THE CAR. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR IS SHOT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR SOMETHING THAT I NEVER WAS INFORMED ABOUT.

RECALL # S55 NHTSA 16V529 MY CAR MIL LIGHT CAME ON LAST NIGHT 04/20/2018 WHILE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70 MILES, STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. ONCE I GOT OF THE FREEWAY TURNING RIGHT ON THE STREET THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AROUND 40 MILES. WHEN I CAME TO THE LIGHT TO STOP THE CAR SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF, IDLED LOW AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR ME TO GO THE CAR WAS STILL A THE DRIVING SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 40 MILES. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I INFORMED MY FIANC OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. WE WENT BACK OUTSIDE AFTER READING THE CARS MANUAL AROUND 10-15 MINUETS AFTER. HE STARTED THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT THE MIL LIGHT WAS STILL ON. HE PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MOVED IT FORWARD AND THEN IN REVERSE TO BACK IT UP. THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT HE TOLD ME THAT BASED ON THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY ISSUES. THE NEXT MORNING ON 04/21/2018 , I TRIED TO AUTO START MY CAR, GOT IN THE CAR AND ON THE DASH READ DISABLED SO THE CAR DIDN'T AUTO START. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THAT OTHER THAN WHEN THE CAR IS LOW ON FUEL YOU CAN'T AUTO START THE CAR AND MY CAR HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN I TRIED STARTING IT THIS MORNING. SO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR MANUALLY IT NO LONGER SHOWED THE MIL LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND FREEWAY BACK HOME IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING AND SHIFTING FINE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING HAS A DELAYED TIME WHEN SHIFTING TO PICK UP SPEED AND THIS IS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR SOME DISTANCE. THEN ONCE IT SHIFTS IT GIVES A JERK THEN IT PICKS UP SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR THE TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. I TOOK IT IN TO GET FIXED AND MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT. IT HAD LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY AND THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX IT. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED A FEW ACCIDENTS. I WILL HIT THE GAS TO GO AND MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE THEN WHEN I TAKE MY FOOD OFF THE CAR IT JULTS AND SPEEDS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN ALSO A STOP LIGHT. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. IT IS ONLY IF I HAVE TO STOP OR GO. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES IF I START MY CAR AND DON'T LET IT SIT FOR S FEW MINUTES. IF I START MY CAR AND GO TO BACK OUT IT WILL FEEL LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING MY BREAK AND LETTING GO. LIKE IT WON'T ACCELERATE RIGHT.
