2016 Chrysler 200 Powertrain & Transmission Problems

I took my car to Carman Dodge Chrylser Dealer located 196 s Dupont hwy , new castle de, 19720. My car was scheduled for a recall repair u90 and power train software update. I took my car in 4-10-25 and it stayed overnight until 4-11-25. When receiving my car I was presented with new issues that caused a no bus code and radio died. My car had no internal issues prior to taking my car to the dealer for recall repairs. I have all the documentation and employees names for the service department. I was told by my advisor Lance Grey and supervisor Joseph Troboletti that there is nothing else they can do. Other than these new problems that occurred just so happened to be coincidental. And in order to get things replace I would have to wait until July and I may be eligible for a small discount on the parts. So that means I would have to wait 3 months to get repairs and drive a car with my children with no working windows , radio and etc.

The transmission jumped into neutral while going 65mph also indicating “service park brake” and “service transmission”. The vehicle slowing down almost caused another vehicle to rear end me as I was looking for a safe place to try and pull over. No one has inspected properly these vehicles despite numerous customer complaints of the same nature. The car had no lights on but afterwards the power train light came on.

Car is stalling for unknown reason without any warning or light appearing on dash. Feeling unsafe especially when driving on the highway because I never know when it will happen. Has been happening every day for the past 3 days. Happened in the beginning after a couple months of having the car and the first time I took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong or replicate the problem.

About 2 weeks ago , my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life… I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.

The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it’s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.

AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE DIED OUT. LOCKING MY BRAKES AND MY STEERING WHEEL. AT THIS VERY MOMENT THE GEAR D WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH AND TELLING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLES AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT START THE CAR UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURRED WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER. DASHBOARD SAYS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, WHICH IT IS ALREADY IN DRIVE BECAUSE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I'M IN A PARKING LOT OR ON A MAIN ROAD IN TRAFFIC. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (A FEW WEEKS AGO) I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD AND I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. TODAY IT HAPPENED AFTER I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND STARTED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT.
