The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that after the vehicle was started and shifted to park(P), the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral(N), and the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact attempted to shift the gear selector into reverse; however, the vehicle remained in neutral. The contact stated that the vehicle could not be turned off. The contact disconnected the battery to turn off the vehicle. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.
The transmission is stuck in 3rd gear and sometimes don't move at all. It has jumped in neutral a couple of times while driving or automatically goes to paddle shifting without touching the gear control. It is basically undrivable with only 95000, or so miles.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The engine warning light was illuminated prior to the failure. The failure persisted over time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the failure was related to the cruise control, transmission, and fuel pump. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
While driving at approximately 60 MPH on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power, stalled, and entered "limp mode," shifting into neutral or a low gear unexpectedly. This failure caused a rapid deceleration in high-speed traffic, effectively disabling the vehicle and creating an immediate safety hazard and risk of collision. The engine stalled completely, requiring the vehicle to be coasted to the emergency shoulder. After a key cycle, the vehicle restarted but the check engine light remained illuminated. Independent diagnostic scanning retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) U0018 (Medium Speed CAN Communication Bus Short) and P0894 (Transmission Component Slipping). These specific codes and symptoms (intermittent electrical short causing stall/shift-to-neutral) are identical to the safety defects addressed in NHTSA Recall 15V-470 (FCA Recall R24 - Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector) and NHTSA 16V-529 (FCA Recall S55 - Transaxle Wiring Harness). Although records indicate Recall R24 was marked as "completed" on this vehicle in July 2015, the specific safety defect has recurred, presenting the exact same failure mode. The Authorized Dealer was contacted regarding the recurrence of this safety defect but refused to perform a no-charge inspection, citing an expired repair warranty. The Manufacturer (FCA US LLC) was also contacted to report the recurring safety failure but refused to open a case or authorize a diagnostic inspection, despite the life-threatening nature of the defect. The component and vehicle are available for inspection. The failure has not been resolved.

This is my wife's account which happen more than 5-10 times because she operates the vehicle. The car at time's will jump into neutral while operating and the accelerator is unresponsive when she shifts back into drive. She cuts the car off for it to reset and sometimes it does, and sometimes she has to do it more than once. It sometime happens when the car has set for a while and she starts it, the transmission light will be on and the car will not move until reset.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the A/C failed to function as intended. The contact stated that when the A/C failed, the temperature gauge on the vehicle was elevated. The contact parked the vehicle, turned off the engine, and called a tow truck. The vehicle was towed to the residence, and then towed to the dealer. The contact was informed that the Power Distribution Center (PDC) electrical connector had failed, which caused intermittent power failures of certain electrical components. The contact was provided with an image of the fuse box, which showed that the fuse box was burnt. The contact was informed that the fan fire, PDC connector, and assembly needed to be replaced.

You have a recall for chryslr 200 2015 for intermittent starting and stalling caused by faulty PDC connector. NHTSA. My car is doing exactly that but its not under the recall why not? It had done this gor the last 4 months
Friday, I was stuck in traffic when I noticed my temperature rising. I couldn’t pull to the side or turn my car off or do anything to get me safely out of the situation, my car then reached at what I last seen 275 degrees before shutting down. I had to leave my car setting as it was smoking and undrivable at this point. Later that night I got my car back home and upon further inspection my fan has abruptly stopped working, it is still getting voltage (bought a new fan) and that one also will not work either. When we checked the voltage it is backwards despite it never being worked on before. There’s electrical problems with these cars and they need addressed. I was left in 98 degree heat for almost 2 hours because of these issues. Next time it could be a woman and her children. Please fix this.
I put the car in park, once I released the brake the car started jerking forward. While this was going on, the dash displayed powertrain failure. I was only able to get it to stop by turning off the car. When I turned the car on following the event, I had a check engine code: P1B13-00 "Park-By-Wire-Unintended Out of Park Position". Since that incident, the car has excessive forward roll when putting the car in park. The shifting has become unpredictable and rough, it also gets stuck in 4th gear often. I took my car to a Chrysler dealership to see if it was in recall R08 / NHTSA 15V-090, I was told it was not and that I would have to pay for them to inspect it. My car was manufactured just before the recall window.
Since the day I picked up the car from the dealership lot, I have had consistent issues with this vehicle simply operating safely and normally. In Arizona, you're legally responsible for a vehicle the moment you sign — even before you drive it off the property — so I was essentially stuck with it. From that point forward, I have been at my dealership nearly every month due to various mechanical and electrical issues. The vehicle has a history of repeated electrical and mechanical failures that affect both safety and basic function. One of the most serious problems is that the car randomly shuts off while driving, including in traffic and at intersections. This happens without warning and creates a serious risk of being hit from behind or losing control of the vehicle. In addition, the car frequently fails to start. It will often require a jump-start just to turn on, but even then, service technicians have told me the battery is not the issue, and in some cases, it doesn’t respond to a jump at all. The problem remains undiagnosed, with technicians saying they cannot pinpoint the cause. The issue appears to be electrical or ignition-related, but no definitive fix has been found. There have also been ongoing problems with the transmission jerking, hesitation during acceleration, and various warning lights coming on, including the battery, check engine, and transmission indicators. These issues began shortly after purchase and have occurred consistently over time. The vehicle has been brought to the dealership numerous times, where they have attempted repairs, but the problems continue. It is not safe to drive and continues to present a major safety hazard due to unexpected shutdowns and unreliable starting. These issues have been acknowledged by the dealer but never resolved, and the vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request.
My airbag light always is on and my cruise control revs my car and I have to break

I’m writing to report a recurring issue with the catalytic converter on my vehicle. I had it replaced less than five years ago after the original one failed, which ultimately caused damage requiring a full engine replacement. Now, the replacement catalytic converter is failing again. I’ve owned my car for 11 years and have always taken good care of it. I find it extremely frustrating—and financially burdensome—to face potentially thousands of dollars in repairs again for what seems to be a recurring, possibly faulty issue. I’m requesting that Chrysler investigate this matter and provide assistance or a resolution, as this does not seem like normal wear and tear.
Transmission went out. Had fluid and checked regularly and low mileage.
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 .

Vin number goes to a Chrysler Limited when car is a Chrysler 200 C basic model
Queja de Defecto de Seguridad por Falla de TCM y Negligencia de Recall VIN del Vehículo: [XXX] Mi vehículo Chrysler 200, año 2015, ha experimentado una falla total del Módulo de Control de Transmisión (TCM), resultando en la pérdida abrupta de potencia e inmovilización de la unidad. Esta falla no solo es mecánica, sino que representa un peligro crítico para la seguridad, ya que puede ocurrir sin previo aviso en la carretera. Mi vehículo tiene 4 Recalls de seguridad obligatorios y pendientes (U90, W84, X80, XB1). El fabricante (Stellantis) se ha negado a resolver la falla del TCM y a atender los Recalls pendientes. A pesar de haber notificado formalmente a los departamentos de México (Caso No. XXX) y a los contactos corporativos en EE. UU., la compañía ha evadido la responsabilidad por más de 7 días. Tuve que pagar por un diagnóstico que confirmó la falla del TCM (Costo de reparaciónes y diagnostico estimado a la fecha: $35,496.00 MXN). Solicito a la NHTSA abrir una investigación sobre este defecto crítico de seguridad y la negligencia del fabricante en el cumplimiento de los Recalls federales.

2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles related to the Power Distribution Center (PDC) connector. I’m having issues with the heat and radio controls and my care doesn’t seem to have the recall I bought the car 2023 but this just started end of last year. My car has stalled and died then runs really bad when started back up then my militate blinks and my head and radio controls does not work I’m not sure when my car was built but if it was still for 2015 Chryslers it shouldn’t matter the date it was built because some of us are still having issues
The 2 recalls R-24 and R-55 were both supposedly fixed at the hunt Chrysler in Franklin ky but my vehicle is still shifting up into neutral randomly I almost got hit because I was pulling out of a stop sign and the car stalled and went into neutral and I was stuck in the middle of the road and luckily nobody was coming so I had time to restart the car and get out of the way but the recall work they did was not done correctly otherwise they would have not called and said my car was ready to be picked up. Then they hung up on me when I called to see what I needed to do about getting my car back in to be fixed correctly and they literally hung up and refused to do their job and ensure that my vehicle is safe by correctly performing the recall work that Chrysler sent them to do. I looked it up and the step by step guide is online and they did not follow Chryslers guidelines or standards and I want answers please.
The check engine light activated, prompting me to pull over immediately and have the vehicle towed. The diagnosis indicated a misfire, which is a known issue acknowledged by the manufacturer. However, the dealer has now stated that the vehicle requires a new engine, despite the absence of any prior warning signs. Refer to TSB 1022106 and additional service communications brought forth by Chrysler to NHTSA. There was absolutely no prior warning of this to me.
The wiring harness caught fire suddenly with no warning! It was on top of the intake under the cover. This is not acceptable!
When not coming to a complete stop for at least 5 seconds and trying to get going again the car bogs down / hesitates almost feels like it has stalled for around 3 to 5 seconds then lurches forward and engine continues to rev even after accelerator has been released. For example coming up to a red light that turns green before you finish stopping, yield signs or slowing into a turn lane and trying to get across on-coming traffic. It is extremely dangerous and seriously needs to be looked into. I have seen several complaints about this. This is very common and needs to be fixed. This is also reoccurring problem that happens in these situations every time.

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

I took my car in to get my recalls fixed and they are not fixed yet they claim to be fixed on record. One is a transmission sensor and the other is electrical. The issue i am having is my car is shutting off the power to the engine while driving. This is causing serious issues when driving on busy highways and other roadways. I am terrified of my engine stopping on the interstate and getting hit by other car due to being unable to drive my car. This instance has happened once where my engine has stopped randomly while on the highway. The other issue is it will not start, there is an issue with the electrical not sending information over to my cars computer to start it. I have been left stranded late after work some days or unable to drive my car at all. The dealership claims all recalls have been fixed but after going to (2) different places they do not assume they have been fixed due to this being the only cause for this issue to be happening still. The code my car is reading is the P0335 Sensor which has been replaced * i did witness a new one being put in* and throwing a check engine light.
