Used 2015 Chrysler 200 Consumer Reviews
Frightening Acceleration Problem
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 S, no longer under warranty, since owning this vehicle nothing but recalls in which I took the vehicle for updates. My airbag light came on in March 2018 took to dealership, ran a diagnostic test $139.00, technician said that I needed a new airbag gasket, asked if covered under warranty, "you're 36,000 mile warranty has expired and I would need to pay $550.00 for the repair......On Friday, June 22, 2018, traveling home from work, turning on a major road in Tampa FL on a very high traffic area, my car would not accelerate, cars behind me, when it appears that I can't accelerate I was able to navigate to the side of the road. Nothing wrong with battery, plenty of gas, recent oil change 5/19/18 by the dealership. Has this happened to anyone and what was the outcome.

Biggest Regret of my Life
When I took the car off the lot for a test drive. It seemed adequately powered and comfortable. The back seat at the time was a non-factor, it was really where I just tossed miscellaneous items. I was impressed with the ease of which the infotainment and driver-assistance features worked. In fact, I think it's the best controls and layout I've ever used in a car. It's so simple, clean, and easy. Honestly, I wish I could rip off the center console and put it in a Ford to combat their tiny buttons and confusing features. This car is floaty. Every bump keeps me moving for seconds after. This car, at the end of the day, has its natural habitat on the back of a flatbed. I should've foreseen it. The first week I owned it, my friend hopped in the passenger seat and realized the floor was soaked. The A/C system was leaking from under the glovebox. Once that was fixed, I ran into more serious problems with the car's computer systems. I had to be towed when my car wouldn't get out of first gear. In a 6-speed, I could limp to a dealership. In a 9-speed, that first gear only just gets you going. I was revving in the red going 12 mph. But hey, that was the one time the car was actually moving with one of these problems. The other THREE times it ended up on a flatbed, I couldn't get the car out of park and all these errors were popping up on the driver's display. I'd be the first to admit I drive a lot. I have nearly 70k miles on this car of mostly long road trip thruway miles. But every time I approach the car now, I wonder if it'll start, get into gear, and get me to my destination. Not comforting. I've doubled my car payment and am looking to sell as soon as it's worth more than I owe. Can't wait.

Trying American....Again.....
My last new Detroiter was an'08 Buick Enclave. A great car until the SECOND transmission went out at 156k, so on to the Germans for me. Tiring of $1000 repair bills every visit, I rolled the dice on a 2015 200S with every option sans LED lights and adaptive cruise. We'll be piling on the highway miles over the next 3 years, so the claimed 29mpg for an AWD vehicle sold me. The only other AWD sedan that came close was the Subaru Legacy, larger interior, more safety features, but it was an absolute dog on the highway. Got 18% off sticker and the ext warr for half price: made them throw in the True Coat (see: Fargo, the movie). ***Last Update*** Resale value in the toilet.....thanks, Chrysler for your draconian lease terms driving buyers away in hoards. Traded in for a Cadillac CTS4 which is just better in every department (except fuel mileage, and I can certainly live with that). Lastest Update*** American iron couldn't hack it, so back to the Germans. My Audi A8 4.0T twin-turbo V8 is magnificent!

Don’t buy, need a recall
I really loved my car, has it for 6/7 years. Never had problems but now issues are starting to happen. Recently my car wouldn’t start it started saying “engine warming wait to start” and it wouldn’t start. Looked on YouTube and hundred of people are saying they are having the same issue and nobody can tell them why.

Don’t Buy this Piece of Junk
Just bought my Chrysler 200 last year in April and it is the worst car I have ever owned. The thermostat went up when I bought the car. And now the damn heater core might be going up as well. This car will take your money. It’s a big waste of time and I wouldn’t bother even looking into it unless you want to spend money in parts. Not worth it. Stay away from these 4 cylinder models cause they all suck. Everything breaks!
