On highway at dusk, lost both headlights at same time. Then pulled over - no lights in car. Two months later -- puling out of driveway of home -- backup mirror went blank and car accelerated on its own.
Randomly if I hit a bump my airbag light will come on. Now for a 2015 200 limited why am I needing to replace the whole starter assembly and now to have to replace the air shutter grille. The vehicle headlamps are extremely poor. It's very hard to see see on all highways, side streets etc. Now the traction stabilizers light came on as I was backing in to a parking space as well as my brakes just started making a squealing noise out no where as driving on the street. There no reason why there should not be a recall on multiple vehicle issues as most people are stating. Why isn't there a number I can call to file a compliant with all the vehicle issues I've experienced? This just crazy then to have to come outta $1,300.00 for vehicle repairs is crazy! Why does this vehicle stall when the oil is low shameful for the vehicle to stop and and barely start back! …
1) power train-while traveling on interstate at 65mph the transmission pops out of gear. I had to pull over put the car in park and then back to drive before it would go. It also happened when I was pulling away from a stop sign making a right turn it popped out of gear and wouldn't go. I drifted to the side of the road stopped, went to park and back to drive. The car acts confused form time to time. From a stop position at take off the transmission jerks and then thumps before it goes into gear. 2). Cruise control- traveling down interstate in the mountain region of n. Georgia, my cruise was set for 55mph. The cruise picked up speed up to 70 MPH then the car started jerking very confused at what it was suppose to be doing. The brake wouldn't release the cruise control. I did get it released once the RPM's settled down. …
On November 21, 2020, the 7th day I purchased my car from car max, I drove my car from tx to ar. Nearly halfway to ar the dashboard lights started flickering and went off and on several times. I could not believe it has it during the day time. Once I arrived in ar, the dashboard continued to flicker but there were no error messages on the dashboard to indicate a problem. Later that night, I drove to the store and in the store parking lot the car quit on me after the lights flickered several times!!! I am livid! I have a 5-year old daughter in the car with me! What if the car stops on the highway? Why hasn't Chrysler fixed this issue? I'm just now reading about this issues with numerous car owners!!! I desire to have this investigated and fixed immediately! If something we're to happened to my child and I would that not be horrible? …
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 that has been having some issue with the dash lights flickering and now the lights are going completely out. I thought the instrument panel was the only feature affected until today on my way to work the headlights completely went out as well creating a very bad situation on the highway. I was unable to see while driving down the road for a brief period of time. I just check it for recalls but did not find my vehicle however there are other earlier models that appear to be having a similar issue that were covered by recall is there any way that a recall May be arriving on this vehicle? I have also noticed that the service air bag light came on shortly before all of this started as well as a code was tripped for faulty coolant sensor as well. …
During normal driving at night, any speed, any type road. There is very limited low beam projection. Appears to be approx. 50' or less(3 white stripes ahead of vehicle). Appears the design of the headlight assy.. The placement of the bulb is either too deep or too high and the top of the assy. Is blocking from a higher projection angle. High beam projection is good. I have contacted my local dealership who advised they have had other customers complain about this but no adjustments have helped. They had no suggestion for remedy. This is very serious safety concern for me and any other owners of the same model vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. When the vehicle was started, the passenger side headlight failed to illuminate without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the wiring needed to be replaced. The contact called the local dealer (heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram parkville, 9219 harford rd, parkville, md 21234, [phone]) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 83,000.
While driving home from work my 2015 Chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work..and leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons..this needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!
