2015 Chrysler 200 Other / unspecified Problems

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? • the parking brake randomly turns on mid driving especially on the highway. My car will randomly stop driving but the the radio and everything else is on but the car isn’t on if that make sense. When I go to turn it back on after it shuts off it stutters then finally kicks back on. My tire sensors are completely off , my airbag system is always saying error , seat belt system is always going off. I could be going 50mph and car will shut off mid driving. Yes it can be inspected for FREE. Especially if my car is recalled . How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? • my safety is definitely put at risk and sometimes others depending what my car does that day. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? • no I haven’t had no one to look at it Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? • no I haven’t been in a accident I do my best to get off the road Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? •seat belt sensor is on , airbag sensor is on , and check engine light is on. It’s been going on for about 2 months now There was NO incident but I am very scared their will be. I do my best to be off the road but this is my only vehicle. I just seen an article my vehicle is recalled .

My car will not go into park. It will not engage. It is staying in gear. I called Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Lee Summit and they say that that has been repaired before there is a recall on it but there’s refusing to repair it. Never had that happen or had it repaired since I’ve owned the vehicle but unsafe and drivable Dangerous I was stuck in the middle of the street for over an hour was very very terrifying. Can you help me figure out what they won’t fix this? Control Automatic Emergency Braking R08 I believe this is to the recall code I run the car for a while, and I have never taken it in for this I was unaware until it lost up on me my number

MY CAR KEEPS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED, BUT WHAT EVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING ITS NOT WORKING. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND AS CAUSED DANGER TO MY TYPE 1 DIABETIC HUSBAND AND MYSELF. THE CAR IS NOW IN MY DRIVE WAY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS SINCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEBRUARY 2017, AND THEY NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR JERKS AND STOPS AND STARTS WHEN IT WANT TO. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE TAKING IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES FOR A DIAGNOSIS, AND CHRYSLER CANT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY BUILT THE CAR. I NEED HELP. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS PIECE OF A CAR. EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS CAR SAYS THEY CAR DOES THE SAME THING. SO I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAR HAS STOP AND WILL NOT START AT ALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY FROM MICHIGAN TO NEBRASKA CAR WAS MAKING LOUD NOISES FROM SUSPENSION/TIRE AREA AND TOOK CAR INTO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION BEFORE DRIVING ANY FURTHER. WAS TOLD THAT CAR HAD 4 BLOWN OUT STRUTS AND FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING. THEY SAID THIS WAS UNUSUAL SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD AROUND 47,000 MILES ON IT AND A NEWER VEHICLE FOR SUCH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND TOLD MUST REPAIR AS CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. REPAIR WAS $2,000 FOR PARTS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BAD ON A CAR UNDER 50,000 MILES. SEARCHING VEHICLE ONLINE AND SAW THAT CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED 700,000 OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL IN 2015 FOR FAULTY/DEFECTIVE STRUTS AND FRONT WHEEL BEARING. I CHECKED MY VIN AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS LISTED. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT 700,000 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WE HAD WITH OUR CAR FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ONLY SAID MY VIN DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS AND I COULD REPORT IT ON THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO SHOULD NOT BE OUR FAULT TO REPLACE ON A NEWER VEHICLE IF THE PARTS WERE KNOWN TO BE BAD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER RECALLS LISTED FOR SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WITH TRANSMISSION WHICH ONCE AGAIN OUR VEHICLE HAS SYMPTOMS YET NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EITHER. IT SEEMS LIKE AN ERROR HAS BEEN MADE HERE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

ALL FOUR TIRES ARE TORN/CUT AND TEARING, (ONE IS TORN COMPLETELY AND IS UNDRIVABLE,) IN THE SAME CIRCULAR PATTERN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. POSSIBLE LINK TO P37 RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE REAR SHOCK MOUNT WELDING BREAKING, HENCE DAMAGING THE TIRES. OTHER POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE FAULTY TIRES, OR OTHER MANUFACTURER DEFECTS ON THE VEHICLE NOT YET ESTABLISHED THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY ALL DAY. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR AT A HIGH RATE (AUDIBLE FROM FAR AWAY.) WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE OFF TO CHANGE TO THE SPARE, I NOTICED UNUSUAL CUTS THAT ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF A TYPICAL FLAT OR BLOW OUT. I TOOK OFF THE OTHER TIRES AND THEY ARE ALL CUT IN A SIMILAR FASHION. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE FROM THE STOP POSITION ON THE STREET OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATES AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE. IT TAKES ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH UP WITH THE DESIRED SPEED. WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 - 55MPH OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A DISTINCT HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. A CONSTANT HUMMING SOUND. WHEN I DECREASE IN SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO ITS LOWER GEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN AUGUST OF 2017 IN HAWAII.

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.'

NEXEN FACTORY TIRES ON FRONT BOTH HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED EARLY (BASED ON TREAD LIFE) BECAUSE OF VERY DANGEROUS CRACKING/SPLITTING ALONG THE SIDEWALL. LOCAL BIGO TIRES INSPECTED AND SHOWED ME THE PROBLEM. I REPLACED BOTH FRONT TIRES WITH IDENTICAL NEW NEXEN REPLACEMENTS. WITHIN A WEEK I THOUGHT TO RESEARCH POTENTIAL ISSUE AS THIS SPLITTING I HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY SEEN WITH A EVEN POORLY USED TIRE.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 WAS LEAKING AIR FROM THE WHEEL. WHEN TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER DON MARSHAL CHRYSLER IN SOMERSET KY. THEY DISMOUNTED THE TIRE FROM THE WHEEL AND FOUND A STRESS CRACK IN THE WHEEL THAT WAS CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. THIS WAS ON THE FRONT TIRE AND IF NOT FOR THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD A WRECK. THE HEAD MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOT FROM ANY DAMAGE FROM HITTING ANYTHING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I EVEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR OF THE LADY HANDLING MY CLAIM AND SHE WAS ALSO NOT TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT THE METAL USED IN MAKING THIS WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WORKED AS A FIREFIGHTER FOR OVER 22 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN MANY WRECK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LOOK INTO THIS THAT IT COULD END UP CAUSING SEVERAL WRECKS AND WHICH COULD END UP CAUSING SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. I BOUGHT A NEW WHEEL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE OLD WHEEL WITH THE CRACK ON THE INSIDE. I WOULD SEND IT OFF TO HAVE IT TESTED FOR STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS IF I KNEW WHERE TO SEND IT TO. I THINK CHRYSLER OR THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE WHEELS HAS A DEFECTIVE METAL THAT COULD CAUSE A WRECK. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER AND MAKES CHRYSLER DOUBLE CHECK THEIR WHEELS. ALSO THEY NEED TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I KEPT A RECORD OF HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED AND WHAT FEW TIMES THEY RETURNED MY CALLS. WHEN THEY DID CALL BACK IT WAS ALWAYS AT THE CLOSE OF THEIR BUSINESS HOURS AND WOULD LEAVE A VOICE MAIL KNOWING I WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO RETURN THEIR CALL.

IN JUNE 2016 THE AWD LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY. A CALL TO THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID IT COULD BE A GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER, TURN IT OFF FOR A WHILE AND RESTART. THE AWD LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER CHIP PROBLEM (PTU MODULE WAS BAD) THAT TOOK 4 DAYS TWO FIX.TWO WEEKS LATER ON 7/18/16 AFTER NOTICING DARK SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE BELL HOUSING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION IN A 2 YEAR OLD CAR TO BE REPLACED. AN HOUR AGO, (7/28/18 9:30P) I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE GSP WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AND "SHIFT TO P" MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE DASH. THE "D" ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL STARTED FLASHING ABOUT A MIN LATER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED UP I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A DARK HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS A CATASTROPHE IN THE MAKING! THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE.
