THE CAR, WHEN TURNING AND SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL AND LOSES MOTIVE POWER. I HAVE HAD 20 INCIDENTS OVER A PERIOD OF 2 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 2 CHRYSLER CERTIFIED DEALERS SERVICE.THE CAR 8 OR 9 TIMES BUT HAVE NEVER REPAIRED THE DEFECT WHERE IT WILL LAST LONGER THAN 3 DAYS TO 2 MONTHS AND 4 WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE WARRANTY ARBITRATION PROGRAM. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FOR ALL SERVICE CALLS. THE FCA US CUSTOMER CARE REP. REFERRED ME TO NCDS USA. THIS VEHICLE IS AN UNSAFE POTENTIAL PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH LIABILITY AND I KNOW THAT THE PRIMARY IMPORTANCE FOR NHTSA IS SAFETY. *LN*JB*JB

CAR IS ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND CHIMES EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES. I SEE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT, WHY?. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, THE GEAR SHIFTER GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AS A RESULT, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE A CRASH. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 36000 MILES AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND NO RECALL. $89 FIX. I'LL BE CALLING FOR A BETTER PRICE, BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NONETHELESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THE LIGHT COMES ON WEATHER I'M MOVING OR STATIONARY.

HELLO I'VE SUBMITTED AND REACHED OUT PLENTY OF TIMES ABOUT A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT WHEN ACCELERATED FEELS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL THEN GETS A GEAR AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO MAKE A HARSH SOUND WHEN KICKS INTO GEAR AND HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO PLENTY OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. ALSO AIR BAG SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT TURNS ON EVERYTIME SOMEONE GETS IN AS IF IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY.

TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD TAKE OUT OF GEAR WHILE I AM MOVING

MY CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE (AND DOES DIE WHEN I USE THE FOB TO START IT) WHEN IT IS STARTED AND WHEN IT IS RUNNING....LAST SUNDAY (2-26-17) MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND VIBRATE. MY CAR BARELY HAD ANY ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HESITATING AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACE 4 SPARKPLUGS. ANOTHER TEST WAS REDONE, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND ALL SEEMED WELL. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES BEGAN TO SPUTTER YET THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS BAD; STILL HESITATION AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. WEDNESDAY, MY FOB WOULD NOT START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE CAR BUT THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IN. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MECHANIC WANTS TO START REPLACING ONE COIL AT A TIME. HE ALSO SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A 2015. (MY CAR FLOODED IN AUGUST 2016 AND I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2016)

TAKARA RECALL- THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN SHOWING SERVICE AIRBAG A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. THE RED AIR BAG SIGN IS ALSO LIT. THE SIGN COMES AND GOES

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET ~ 30 MPH, IT DIES. TELLS ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART. DID THIS 3 TIMES IN A ROW. EACH TIME I TRY TO RESTART IT SPUTTERS AND ACTS LIKE IT WON'T RESTART. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 58MPH, IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND (I WAS TRAVELING ON ICC 200W FROM LAUREL TO I95) ON 2/24/2017 MY CAR - WITHOUT WARNING CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR SPUTTERED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR PRESENTED A MESSAGE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" WHILE THE "DRIVE" FUNCTION BLINKED PROFUSELY. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND AWAIT A TOW TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IS STATING THAT A BATTERY WIRE WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP, HOWEVER MY CAR MAINTAINED POWER THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS I WAITED FOR THE TOW. ALSO AS A PRECAUTION, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASH BEFORE BEING TOWED AND BOTH THE BATTERY POWER AND OIL WERE FINE. I RECENTLY HAD MY PCM AND TCM REPROGRAMMED DUE TO A FAULTY DTC CODE (12/2016) AT KOONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN TYSON'S CORNER, VA. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE HOWEVER IT CLEARLY DIDN'T. IF I WAS TRAVELING DURING RUSH HOUR OR ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND/OR SEVERELY INJURED AS THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MD.

THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, MY CAR HAD MAJOR FAILURES. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (US-46), THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED FIRST, THEN WENT THE POWER STEERING NEXT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN TIME BEFORE GETTING CRUSHED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. FUNNY THING IS, I KNEW THIS WAS COMING. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY TO TELL THEM I SUSPECTED MY CAR WAS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS HAVE HAD. MY CAR STARTED SHAKING QUITE A BIT WHEN I WAS DRINKING ON TUESDAY 2/21/17. WHEN YOU RESEARCH THIS FOR THIS MODEL, YOU'LL FIND ALL SORTS OF SCARY STORIES, LIKE MINE TODAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN OFF, TREATED LIKE A MORON, AND TOLD THEY COULD SEE ME ON MARCH 7. HELPFUL, RIGHT? SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR TOMORROW MORNING 2/25/17. ALAS, I DIDN'T MAKE IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I JUST HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS AND UNDERSTANDS 1. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PERSON IT HAPPENED TO AND 2. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. I ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE TODAY. OTHERS MAY NOT.

I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT JUST FILED ON 2/24/2017 (COMPLAINT NUMBER 10956764) THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT COMPLAINT. MY CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MARYLAND ON 2/24/2017 TO FIX/REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE (I WAS GOING 58 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR INITIALLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING - SEE FIRST COMPLAINT). FRED FREDRICK'S PHONED AND STATED THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AT 4PM - BY 8:45PM (NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER) WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED. MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C, WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATORS, WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE AND I'M UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN A DIFFERENT GEAR SHIFT OR MOVE IT. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF SILVER SPRING, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL TUESDAY 2/28/2017. TODAY IS 02/25/2017 AND I'M OUT OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL AT LEAST 02/29/2017. I HAD TO RESORT TO PAYING FOR A RENTAL AS NEITHER CHRYSLER, NOR DARCARS WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL UPFRONT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE THE RENTAL IF IT IS DEEMED THAT THE WORK COMPLETED ON MY CAR WAS ESSENTIAL. IN MY OPINION, A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL - MY CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY SERVICE RECORDS SINCE MAY 2016 ( PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2016 USED) AS WELL AS MY CURRENT RENTAL AGREEMENT. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CAR STALLED AS WELL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT TO REPAIR INSTEAD OF BUYING MY CAR OUT SO THAT I CAN PURCHASE A WORKING VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND ALSO MADE CLICKING SOUNDS WHILE IDLING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ERROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, STALL AND POWER DOWN; TAKING MINUTES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND MOVING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. VEHICLE TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR REPAIR AND PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER SAID REPAIR.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT FEB 16 2017. REAR ENDED BY A FORD EXPEDITION. MY AIRBAG CAME ON BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD HARD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN. IT SLOWS DOWN TO FIVE MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SPEEDS UP AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THIS [XXX] CAR. IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AND I DEMAND ALL THE MONEY I PUT INTO IT BACK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS TOO HOT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS TORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C. FROM TIME-TO-TIME, IT SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN WHERE I KNOW IT TO BE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE TIME OF DAY ALSO DISPLAYS INCORRECTLY. THIS LEADS ME TO GUESS THAT THE UNIT IS SOMEHOW PROCESSING THE GPS SIGNAL INCORRECTLY. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN THE PARKING LOT OF A KNOWN LOCATION OF A BUSINESS CALLED PREFERRED CARE AT WALL IN WALL, NJ. IT'S LOCATION IS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS SCREENSHOT1 ATTACHED. IN THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE AWNING OVER THE ENTRYWAY AND THE THREE FLAG POLES, JUST AS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW. BUT THE NAV SCREEN SHOWS THE VEHICLE TO BE ON ORCHARD CREST BLVD EAST OF ROUTE 34 IN MANASQUAN, NJ, ABOUT 2-1/2 MILES EAST OF THE VEHICLE'S KNOWN POSITION. YOU CAN SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO LOCATIONS IN SCREENSHOT2 ATTACHED. IN ADDITION, THE NAV SYSTEM IS DISPLAYING THE TIME OF DAY AS 7:03. THE ACTUAL TIME OF DAY AT THE TIME THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN WAS 7:39 AS SHOWN ON THE WATCH ON THE DASH. THAT WATCH IS CONNECTED TO A SMARTPHONE AND DISPLAYS THE TIME OF DAY ACCORDING TO VERIZON WIRELESS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE PRESENCE OF A TECHNICIAN, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. AN UNRELIABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER WHO MUST NAVIGATE THROUGH UNFAMILIAR AREAS OR MAKE A DETOUR FROM A KNOWN ROUTE. BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IS PRESENTS AN UNPREDICTABLE DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

WHILE MOBILE OR STATIONARY MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON. DUE TO A LOOSE CONNECTION UNDER MY PASSENGER SEAT. CHRYSLER HAS SERVICED IT NUMEROUS TIMES ALSO. THEY HAVE ORDER NEW PARTS, REPLACED WITH OTHER PARTS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO SEAT THE LOOSE CONNECTION IN WITH A ZIP TIE ALSO. ISSUE HAS LASTED SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2017

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A POLICE/FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT INTO A BRAND NEW CAR, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO RE-CALLS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CAR AND I'M TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON A CAR THAT IS A LEMON!!!

THE AIR SYSTEM MAINTENANCE INDICATOR CONTINUES TO STAY LIT.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE BLOCKED BY ASSEMBLY AND IN ORDER TO GET THEM POINTED HIGH ENOUGH TO DO ANY GOOD THE HIGH BEAMS DONT WORK CORRECTLY. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES. IF POINTED AT A WALL YOU CAN CYCLE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW BEAMS AND THE LOW BEAMS SHOW UP AS A IF YOU WERE COVERING HALF OF A NORMAL HEADLIGHT WITH A BOOK.

TAKATA RECALL FEBRUARY 2017, I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY MOMS HOUSE WHEN I HEAR A RINGING NOISE IN MY CAR, THE CAR WASN'T MOVING; IT WAS TURNED ON AND PARKED. IT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SAID SERVICE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME UNLESS I PAID THE $200 TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. A FRIEND OF OURS DROVE OUR CAR AND ENDED UP GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. HE REAR ENDED A POLICE OFFICER AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE SENSOR LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON. WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDS COMPLETELY REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE OTHER VEHICLES REAR END.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS, I HAVE TO LET UP ON THE GAS AND THEN APPLY PRESSURE TO GAS PETAL AND IT WILL FINALLY SHIFT VERY HARD. SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO EXELERATE ON RAMP TO GET INTO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL NOT EXELERATE BUT JUST BE STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN IT WILL JUMP OR SHIFT VERY HARD INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE I'M COMING OFF THE RAMP TO SLOW. OTHER TIMES I WILL JUST BE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT WILL JUMP WITHOUT SHIFTING. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH MY DEALERSHIP ON MAY OCCASIONS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2016.

- ON OCTOBER 25, 2016 THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND 'BUCKING' AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY HUSBAND AND THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO STEW'S. I SPOKE WITH BOB MCKEEHAN AND THE SALES MANAGER, BOTH ASSURED ME THE CAR WAS SAFE AND WILL BE FIXED. - OCTOBER 27TH ' 'SEEMS IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A TRANSMISSION ISSUE' - OCTOBER 31ST ' 'ORDERED A WIRING HARNESS' - NOVEMBER 1ST ' 'CAR READY TO GO' - ALL PAPERWORK SHOWED RECALLS WERE FIXED - JANUARY 23RD THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND BEGINS 'BUCKING' IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY OFFICE. THERE WERE ONLY 1610 MILES PUT ON IT FROM OCTOBER - JANUARY 30TH ' PICKED UP THE CAR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT. - FEBRUARY 4TH ' THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR - FEBRUARY 6TH ' CAR TOWED IN. STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WAS DARK ON THE ROAD AND I BECAME SCARED, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE CAR DID THE SAME THING WHILE I WAS DRIVING SPEED OF 63. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY SISTERS. *TR

THIS ISSUE IS VERY ANNOYING . MY VEHICLE IS EITHER PARKED, IN MOTION, OR EVEN AT A STOP LIGHT THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT MY DRIVING DAY. *TR

I WAITED 10 MINS AND DROVE OFF BUT IT WOULDN'T GO PASS 30 THEN IT SHUT OFF. I HAD FLASHERS ON SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. IT CRANKED AFTER 3 TRIES. I FINALLY DROVE HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM RESTARTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V470000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURES WERE THE SAME. THE DEALER (ED VOYLES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 844-715-5921, 789 COBB PKWY SE, MARIETTA, GA 30060) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT A DEALER DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

FIRST, THERE IS THE HVAC/WINDSHIELD DEFROST. MY CONCERN WITH THAT CONDITION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRAVEL AND TO HAVE THE HVAC TO WORK PROPERLY IN THE SUMMER IS VITAL AS WELL, AS HAVING A CLEAR WINDSHIELD. A BREAKDOWN AT NIGHT, AN ACCIDENT, HITTING A POLE HOLE, SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WOULD BE FAR WORSE THAN A MERE INCONVENIENCE. INCIDENTALLY, MY INTENDED USE OF THE VEHICLE WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR TO THE SALES STAFF WHEN I BOUGHT IT. SECOND, AND THE MATTER OF FAR GREATER CONCERN TO ME IS THE TRANSMISSION. CAR MAKING CLUCKING NOISE, VIBRATING, JERKING WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND LAUNCHING WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM THE BACK. THIRD, VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. WHICH IN RETURN I'VE BEEN WITHOUT VEHICLE FOR MORE THEN 14 DAYS AND OCCUR EXTRA EXPENSES OF CAR RENTALS, TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT DUE TO IRREGULAR WEAR. FOURTH, HESITATION ON ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED WITH REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE SHAFT. DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFT WAS THE REASON FOR DELAY AND JERKING. FIFTH, EXCESSIVE GAS BURNING. I WAS INFORMED THAT EXIST BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT. ONCE DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED IT DIDN'T RESOLVE ISSUE. I WAS GIVING A FORMULA TO CALCULATE GAS MILEAGE, WHICH WAS GIVEN TO DEALER. CAR AVERAGING 16MPG. PER CAR STICKER FUEL ECONOMY: HIGHWAY 29/ CITY 18. CAR IS DRIVEN MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT A LOT OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. OUR STATE'S LEMON LAW DICTATES THAT A VEHICLE CARRIES A PRESUMPTION THAT IT IS A LEMON IF A CONDITION EXISTS 'THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND THE NONCONFORMITY HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO REPAIR TWO OR MORE TIMES BY THE MANUFACTURER OR ITS AGENTS, AND THE BUYER OR LESSEE HAS AT LEAST ONCE DIRECTLY NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE NEED FOR THE REPAIR OF THE NONCONFORMITY.'

"SERVICE AIR BAG " LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. MORE OFTEN WHEN PERSON IN PASSENGER SEAT. SIMILAR REPORTS ON INTERNET. DEALER SAYS WILL COST $120 TO TROUBLE SHOT AND MAY NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. PROBLEM STARTED AFTER 16000 MILES.

I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 200 FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND WHEN I DRIVE AND PUSH PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND SEEMS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL SO ENGINE REVS AND SUDDENLY KICKS INTO GEAR I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO A CRASH ALSO TODAY A LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING TO CHECK PASSANGER AIRBAG. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND IT IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I OWN

THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER TRANSMISSION ERROR. WILL NOT DISENGAGE FROM PARK. THE MOTOR SURGES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING CAUSING A DANGEROUS INCREASE IS SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START DUE TO TRANSMISSION ERROR. TAKEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE. DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON, PROBLEMS WITH MY REMOTE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING VEHICLE, AND PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR POWERING ON ONCE THE IGNITION SWITCH IT PRESSED TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON.

VEHICLE IS REPORTING P0128 AND P2181 ERROR CODES. WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS RUNNING REALLY LOUD. WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE WARNING GOES AWAY AND IT SOUNDS NORMAL AGAIN. ALSO, HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF OUT OF NO WHERE AND WONT TURN ON FOR A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE ALSO SEEMS TO ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while accelerating, the vehicle downshifted and failed to move; then lunged forward and accelerated independently.
