2016 Chrysler 200 Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

This vehicle has had issue after issue. It began with horrible shifting and jerking of the transmission - causing me to think I'd been rear-ended on several occasions due to the severe jolt. The problem could not be replicated the first couple of times I took it in for service at the dealership. -Though it happens EVERY time I drive. Finally, after the third or fourth time I took it in - I was informed that ALL FOUR MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN! They believed me at that point! They re-flashed the software and said it was fixed. It was not. I was forced to pay a $100 deductible so that it would be covered under the warranty later on. It made no sense to me, but I paid it anyway. Since then, this 2016 vehicle - has had NOTHING but problems. Transmission problems - continuous Thermostat had to be replaced Bad airbags and constant notification alert and light - occured at 37k miles (1k post warranty coverage!) $126 for them to tell me it would be a $500+ fix Compressor came apart internally Condenser went out Serpentine belt broke Wheel hubs - all four are going out according to the dealership - no doubt this is due to the havoc the jerking of the transmission causes. NOW: The starter went out two days ago and smoke billowed from under the hood at the same time. The dealerships wants to charge me $1000 to replace the starter so that THEN they can determine what else is wrong and caused the smoke and noise while driving to work that morning. Plus the fee for diagnosis of approx $150. I've since contacted Chrysler and an agent will get back to me on Tues or Wed of next week. Meanwhile, I have no car, nor a loaner vehicle since the dealership didn't have any available. I was informed I could rent a car and be reimbursed as applicable - so, if that means if they decide to.

I really hesitated buying this car given the reviews of the 2015 and the transmission issues people reported; even with over $10,000 in discounts and incentives. Eventually I had enough of my Elantra and figured I'd go for it. I am VERY glad I did. There really is a lot to like in this car. It rides great, it's very comfortable, and the gas mileage is remarkable. I'm getting 33 mpg in mixed driving. Some of the drawbacks are there. You have to duck a bit to get in because of the styling, but my Elantra had similar styling so I'm used to that. The rear seat has a little less leg room than the rest of the class, but the only person I regularly put back there is my 9 year old daughter and she's comfortable so that's not a problem for me. If you have a couple of 6 ft. plus people you regular carry back there make sure you bring them on the test drive. Also, the A pillar is a little bulky, but it was so big on the Elantra that I could have lot an elephant in it, so again, I'm used to it. The only picky issue I would change is that each time you drive it you have to turn the cruise control on. It would be nice if it stayed on. It seems that Chrysler has mostly solved the transmission issues or I was lucky enough to get a good one as mine shifts smoothly and most shifts are imperceptible. Shifting from first to second at low speeds can be a little bigger of an ordeal than necessary, but not so much as to go online and complain about it. Chrysler's issue as I see it, is that they're always in a hurry. Back in the 80's they NEEDED the minivan to keep the company afloat. Then in the mid 2000's they NEEDED the 300 to keep going, and a couple years ago it seems they felt they NEEDED the 200. Because of that rush there were some regular mechanical issues with the 2015 that could have been solved by waiting 6 months to launch the vehicle. Now it would seem that either I have a good one, or those problems are mostly behind it. From my experience with my 2016 I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone from a quality standpoint.....but ask me again in 50,000 miles, and again 50,000 miles after that. It's not a perfect car but it is a pretty good one and it fits me and my family just fine. Especially given the ENORMOUS rebates available now you owe it to yourself to go drive one if you are considering a mid size car. Just remember with huge rebates comes huge depreciation. Get gap insurance and plan to keep it for the long haul. UPDATE 8/20/16: I have about 4500 miles on the car and I wanted to update my review. Everything is still going great with my 200. Some of the drawbacks are still there; the rear seat didn't get any roomier, but my daughter didn't get much bigger either. I still have to dip down a bit when i get in, but it's still not a big deal to me. The cruise control switch still doesn't stay on when you turn the car off, but I've mostly gotten used to it. Overall it's still doing great. I had mentioned that some shifts could be rough and indeed they still can be. The switch from park to drive can be a bit rough. Generally however I have gotten used to how to apply the throttle to mitigate most of the rough shifts. It's a quirk but one that is generally manageable. That's something I'd like to expand upon. The 200 may not have the best test results at the track and because of that it doesn't get great reviews by the experts, but for day to day, go to the grocery store, go to the golf course, drive to work needs, it's perfectly fine. Some of the quirks are noticeable on a test drive, but are something I've gotten used to and not something I would even consider a problem at all. I dare say that if I gave you my keys for a week you would notice some quirks immediately, but after the week is over most would not be a huge issue. Some things may be, if you regularly shuttle around tall folks in the back it may not be the car for you, but overall I think 90% of people will find that it meets 90% of their needs. No maintenance issues except I'm going in for my 5K service shortly. And gas mileage is still great; generally around 32-33 combined and easily pushing if not exceeding 40 on the highway. Overall still going great especially for getting such a great deal; over 10K off the sticker price. I'll try to keep updating this review, maybe at 10K intervals or so.

my credit is not good and it was hard finding a used car that was in great shape. After 5 hrs I was ready to give up. Then they bring out this 2016 black chrysler 200 with 10k miles. I drove it and LOVED the experience. I was approved and because they used the same bank as the one I financed my ford in, I was able to get it with NOTHING down. I've had it for 3 months now and I have to say, I LOVE this car. FIRST the drive... I sometimes think my car is off when I'm waiting at a light because it's very quiet but it roars if you mash the gas peddle. It's such a smooth drive and the seats are comfortable. Sometimes my wife drives it and I end up falling asleep. The gas mileage is okay. I just tried ethanol e85 gas after I found out it can take it. Needless to say the milage is much better and the gas is cheaper! Inside the car is great too. Volume and station control are behind the wheel. USB ports, cup holder that slides and reveals a hidden compartment aka STASH SPOT, LOL. Love the touchscreen and my xm/sirus radio. Climate control is amazing as well. Other than the gas which now is better with e85, I can't think of anything that I DON'T like about the car. Beautiful headlights and a beautiful body, I get compliments about my car. I read some reviews and laughed. A guy said he was 5'10 and heavy and it was hard for him to get in and out the car? I'm 5'11 240 lbs and I have no problem. Maybe is seat was to high, and you can change the elevation of the driver seat..some ppl don't care to look at these details and judge it. YOU have to own a car, not rent it, to get a review that is worth reading. I mean, like others have said,I see this car everywhere. if it was a lemon or a bad car,we wouldn't be seeing them a lot.

A Sporty Sedan That Delivers

Had just purchased this vehicle on July 15th 2016, and at time of purchase really didn't know much about it, but considering the great looks inside and out, a great warranty, and of all the bells/ whistles this vehicles came with, although a little more expensive than the Ford Fusion and other vehicles in its' class, its' cost was justified depending on what you were looking for in a new sedan. The exterior of vehicle is sporty and luxurious in appearance, great body fit, and a flawlessly applied metallic clear coat paint job, not the case of which I ran in to w/ other new vehicles that I've purchased in the past. Entering the vehicle can be a tight situation depending on your height, this is due to the 200 sedans low roof line which is low/ slopped, and further creating a space/ headroom problem once inside the vehicle for driver/ passengers six feet and taller. Once inside/ seated I found the design and quality of materials used to make up same was of higher quality vs. competitors, again it was a mix of sport/ luxury which complimented overall appearance of vehicle inside/ out. The seating was very comfortable and supportive, and making long drives less stressful and satisfying, and short drives fun. The dash/ console are cockpit like design, and a dial for gear selection inspired by jaguar has taken the place of the traditional hand shifter. Placement of instrumentation is good, all is within easy sight for driver. Lighting of same is a nice touch that is easy on the eyes/ enhances the driving experience when driving at night. What I am disappointed in are the speakers for stereo, I love music and these speakers are only adequate, I soon plan to replace them w/ aftermarket speakers of higher quality/ function. The sliding arm rest on nice sized floor console between driver/ passenger was a nice touch/ convenient, and since my limited lacked to presence of a cd player inside the console will be the right place for me to have one installed. Noise level inside passenger compartment while in operation is near zero other than the normal/ anticipated road noise of tires which is hard to muffle on any vehicle. Wind noise is absent, ride is super smooth, steering precise along w/ a good feel for the road. Yes, the interior of the Chrysler 200 is smaller/ cramped than Ford Fusion and others, but once inside it's a great driving experience, up-scaled and nice to be in depending on what you're looking for in a sedan as this sedan is not for everyone. Trunk space is large for a sedan of this size, and just getting back to one more exterior feature that I love is the projection headlights that automatically self adjust for night-time driving. Despite past complaints of the 2015 200 sedan of computer improperly processing commands to the 9 speed automatic transmission while in operation and creating an unpredictable driving experience, ie; lack of acceleration, hesitation of transmission to shift and adjust to normal driving conditions during city/ highway driving, for 2016 it appears Chrysler did correct this matter as from a standing stop from 0-50 mph my 4 cylinders performance is normal/ adequate, and while highway driving the 4 cylinder has more than enough power thanks to the 9-speed automatic, rpm's remain low, top speeds can be unthinkable, drive one and see. But in ending keep in mind this is not a muscle car and expectations may vary as to performance standard of others. To me the 4 cylinder engine is ample and responsive, it provides good performance for what it is intended. If you want more power in this sedan the V-6 comes highly recommended, the call is yours to make, drive one and see. Although new, I'll remain optimistic of my purchase and overall experience, this is one nice sports sedan that turns heads and meets my present expectations, I would recommend this vehicle to a friend.

Had car since March 2017 .. Got it with just 11K miles. .. Have taken it from Charlotte, NC, to Michigan and back ... Milwaukee, and back ... And just completed a trip to Cincinnati. .. These ('17s) are available with wonderful rebates, now ... Get the V6. Get the V6, get the V6! Not because there's anything wrong with the 2.4 liter -> It's an awesome motor .. But they {in some cars} didn't match the 9-speed automatic transmission, to the motor super well ... Also since mid-model year 2016 can get the middle-grade car, the Limited, with the V6 motor. Mine's a C - Top of the 200 sedan food chain ... It is absolutely AWESOME! All wheel drive package. 300 horsepower (It isn't said, anywhere, but the AWD has a smidgen more power than any non-AWD 200 - Due to it having a different exhaust). ... Love the dash, in this .. How you can sift through all the different things, in the car, with the button on your steering wheel ... Easy to check on all systems ... Mine is jet-black, black leather inside .. Has granite grey rims; 19 inch .. The dial transmission works, just great! Some 'expert' car review places have gone on that "Geez it has too many speeds .. Who wants to shift, nine times?" ... Well you DON'T shift, nine times .. in regular driving. Speeds 8 and 9 are highway cruising gears ... and are why with my V6 I got an incredible 31 & 1/2 mpg, on my trip to Ohio. My car also has the manual shift mode with steering-mounted levers, for if I want to really fly, off of a light. 8.5 inch touch screen is the best, I've ever seen ... Better than my friend's, in his Camry (He even says this .. lol) ... I do miss a CD player. But I'm getting all my albums on a couple USBs, to stick in and pull up and play. One has about 40, so far. As to the flap about the rear roof line [That Sergio, head of Fiat was waayyy too sensitive about, when he gave an interview ... He was not recognizing that Consumer Reports just doesn't like Chryslers, and has been biased, against Chrysler, for a long time] [I mean kids getting in and out of the back, is no problem ... And really how many people who drive these have (other) adults, getting in and out of the back, all week? C.R. took one item and hammered the whole car, because of it. And a lot of people are quickly influenced, by Consumer Reports. Thankfully, I wasn't] So, this car is derived from an Alpha Romeo ... I think it's cool I'm driving something with some Italian blood. Summing up: I love this car ... Excellent power, takes the curves with aplomb .. Seats could be slightly more comfortable, but they're ok. ... 100K mile powertrain warranty. .. And awesome tech :) ... - Zorn Update: Oddly enough, Edmunds sent me an email, wanting me to update my review ... So I am. - Sold her! Wanted to put some money away ... and drive something slightly less glamorous. .. But I'm sure who's got her, is really enjoying her 😁

This car is really handsome. I bought it from an Audi dealer where it was used as a courtesy car. Only has 2,600 miles on it and looks brand new. I really like it. Mine is black with black. On the Audi lot it fit in so well among the Audis I couldn't find it when I first showed up to look at it! The interior is stunning. I have the moon roof and the largest touchscreen, too. This is the 90th Anniversary Model. The seats are cloth but have a very high end look as well. I did a lot of research before selecting the 200 Limited. As far as the 9 speed transmission is concerned, my works just fine. I think issues people seem to be having are more with the 4 cylinder engine which may not have enough torque to really power this tranny. Another possible explanation could be that we just aren't used to a 9 speed. It definitely is a different experience than a traditional 5 speed. The point of this design is fuel economy. The trans uses the highest gear possible to have the engine run at the lowest RPM possible. I took it up to 90MPH for a short spell and the tach read 1400 RPM. There is a slight lag if you suddenly jam down on the gas from cruise speed but the trans sorts it out quickly and let me tell you, it is one powerful engine! Goes like a mother. The engine is very quiet at low speed but when you punch it, it lets off a great sounding snarl! The best part so far for me is that I rarely see another one on the road despite traveling 50 miles per day to and from work. Follow up: It is now June of 2018 and I still love this car. No failures, no issues , no complaints. Oh, and it still looks just as good and even better than many newer cars in the parking lot at work. This is a lot of car for a great price. Such a shame Chrysler, (and now other brands) are abandoning cars for SUV's and Trucks.

My Wonder Chrysler 2016 200C

I rented this car because mine was in the shop and loved the feel of the car and the interior was outstanding. I found out that my car was going to be at the dealership for a long time due to a part delay. I rented this 200 for 1 month and my wife fell in love with it. Long story short...my car was recalled and I bought a 200 with the works and it was the best decision I've made in a long time. If you're looking for a luxury look that causes stares to identify what type of car you're driving this is the one for you! Rich look for a reasonable price. Only down side I've had was that navigation is not standard feature for 200c model. I have the 8.4 Uconnect with the Alpine 9 speaker system but would have to pay $695 additionally for just navigation. Not pleased to say the least and at this point will not incur the additional cost for what should be a standard option in such a nice car. Overall rating 9.

This car is fantastic. It has more than enough power and still has great gas mileage. It handles like a dream and all the creature comforts exceeded my expectations. The cabin is designed with all the controls within reach and the comfort is better than I expected. This is one of the best all around cars I have ever owned. I have recently gone over 40,000 miles and still have not had a single problem with this car.

I had the Chrysler 200S for only a few days. I had to make a sudden stop .Then the car went into Park, & I couldn't get it into drive for several minutes. I finally was able to drive the car home. When I went into the car the following day, it was again stuck in Park. It had to be towed to the dealer. They gave it back to me later that afternoon. but three days later, the problem occurred again, & again it had to be towed back to the dealer where it has been for almost two weeks. I am very discouraged. Now, October, 2018 my"tricky transmission" is working just fine. The car rides smoothly as well. 😊

I got an amazing deal on a 3.6 liter V-6 Chrysler 200S and I LOVE IT!!!! I come from driving Cadillac and Audi so I'm telling you, it is an amazing value and something that doesn't look like anything on the road. The swooping coupe like look is an elegant yet sporty one... I truly recommend!

Horrible 9-speed unreliable transmission

2016 Chrysler 200 S 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

When going from reverse to drive or even from Park to drive the transmission will go into drive at first up to about 5 miles an hour and then starts slipping for about 20 to 30 seconds with the engine revving and then finally goes back into drive with a big thump jerking you back into the seat and is sometimes kind of scary the worst part about it is it's been to the dealership three times and they say they can't duplicate the problem and I told them it was intermittent that it didn't happen all the time I even talked to the service manager after the third time of taking it in and he even told me that there was nothing they could do unless it showed a code that was bad or duplicate the problem and while telling me this he acted like I was bugging him so now I'm stuck with this car but I'm paying a lot of money for a car I'm scared to drive....SO NO I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BY THIS TYPE OF CAR AT ALL

I have not had it into the shop for anything except oil changes. Yes, the transmission occasionally (rarely) jerks in low gears 1st or 2nd, but not a big deal. It rides great on highway. I have the 4 cylinder, so it's not super quick, but it gets up to speeds fine and doesn't feel bogged down except for maybe when you stop and start a lot in city with AC running. I would have gotten the 3.6L if it was my only car, but it was a second car I bought to use as a daily driver. The 2.4L is fine for me. The looks, features and interior are good for the price. I don't know why people have trouble getting in, I'm 6'2" and I don't struggle at all. The only interior rattle I've had is from the sunglasses holder, which I fixed with a piece of stick on vinyl to eliminate the plastic on plastic rubbing that was occurring. If you want to compare it to a luxury sedan, yeah, it's going to lose. It's also half the price and still performs great for a daily car. I purchased mine with serious rebates, so I paid only about 2/3 of sticker price, so I'm very happy with it. I have leather, heated seats, cruise, rear camera, blue tooth, touchscreen, usb, power seats an much more for under $20K. I think Chrysler is making a mistake discontinuing these. My wife drives a loaded Chrysler Town & Country that has had several issues, but the 200 has been problem free. I have no plans on getting rid of it as it looks and rides like new. Update 2-7-2019 - Still haven't had one problem and has never been into the shop for repairs. Changed oil, cabin air filter and rotated tires in December 2018. I only put about 3500 miles per year on it, but it's still nearly 4 years old, so I would've had some sort of problem by now if it wasn't a decent car. I drive it mostly in the winter and no problem when we went sub-zero last week. Still looks like new too. PS: I have the 5 inch touchscreen multimedia system, and while it doesn't look very impressive, the functions and Bluetooth performance is excellent. I love the phone options that allow you to dial on screen, see your contact lists, recent calls and even respond to text messages with pre-set voice commands. My wife's 2013 T&C with the larger NAV system doesn't have these options...I don't know if they upgraded the system in 2015. It is super simple to pair your phone and use the system...no instruction manual necessary. All the other features are laid out nicely and easy to operate as well, just push the button for the feature (Radio, Media, Phone, Climate, etc...) and the controls for that option are displayed on the touchscreen. Most controls have a duplicate button or knob to control from the console as well. Update 8/11/2020: I finally had to take it to the shop. The passenger side heater was blowing cold air. They replaced a sensor that wasn't reading the correct temperature. It was under extended warranty, so it cost me $100. I also had to replace the battery, which showed no signs of dying...it just did one morning. Car still looks and rides like brand new. The 'jerky' shifting is almost non-existent anymore...at least I don't notice it. I still insist that Chrysler made a big mistake getting rid of these. 2/11/2022 - Has not been back to the shop since the thermostat issue. No problems what-so-ever. I get a little vibration on highway above 75, but it's just time to get the tires rotated and balanced. I have over 30,000 miles now (yeah, I don't drive everyday), but still drives and looks new. No rust or paint issues even though it sits outside most of the year. All the features like the remote start, heated seats and other electronics work without any problems.

This is our first new car, we have had the car since September 2016 and already have 11,000 miles on it with no problems at all, I heard the15 had some programing issues with the 9 speeds but what ever they were they solved those on the 16 teens and up, my shifts as smooth as anything I ever drove, we love this car and the gas mileage is great around town its average 23 to 25 highway 33 to 36. UPDATE we now have 19245 miles on the car in 15 months of ownership and no problems to report, just regular maintenance. Update I have 70,000 plus miles on this car and have had no problems with this car mechanically.Put front brakes and turned the rotors still has the factory rear brakes on it still getting great gas mileage it is a shame they don’t make this car anymore. I would definitely buy another one... Pushing 80000 miles have had no issues Chrysler did send out a recall to upgrade the PCM. The dealer down loaded the program in about a half hour and I was own my way no charge. Still just regular maintenance.

This is a great car. I have 23,000 miles on a 2016 model. Plenty of power. Interior with leather looks great. No mechanical problems at all. The only time I notice the CVT transmission are when starting cold and just the first shifts from park. Performance on the road is excellent. You can accelerate out of any situation and it sounds great doing so. I would have gotten the all wheel drive for the added performance and because the car is worth the investment. Ok It's now 2019 and I have 43,000 miles on it and still love the car. No problems so far. I put a great set of performance tires on it and it really helps stick to the road. When you really get on it the car stays straight ahead. Fingers crossed it stays this way. Will drive till 60,000. Then a Model 3 electric.

I looked for a mid sized car that was good looking in and out, had a strong engine, and most of all had all of the latest safety features. The 200 was it. In 2015 only Subaru had all the safety features in this price range but was no where near as nice a car. Once you have driven a car with brake assist, lane departure ,backup warnings, adaptive cruise control,etc, you'll never feel as safe driving another. Beyond safety ,this car has a stunning interior. The trunk is hugh, but the back seat head room is tight like every car with fastback styling. Comfort and handling are excellent. it has every convenience you can think of ,heated steering wheel heated and cooled seats, remote start,lock etc either from the remote or the Internet....I can't remember them all. This car is a true bargin and a winner at any price. 1/4/17 update....I love this car so much, I bought another for my granddaughter. It is newer than mine, and the 9 speed trans now shifts very smoothly . It is a tragedy that they stopped building this car to make more profitable trucks.

My 200C is still running like new. There have been to repairs and I have no complaints. Highway road gas millage is an amazing 40 plus. Too bad they discontinued production, but it seems everyone is buying SUVs. A truly outstanding car.

11 day after owing the car, i had to send to the dealership because the "push-start button and engine light came on". the vehicle decelerates when i drive. I have read reviews of people having the same issues. I m very worried about the owning the car now. I am just waiting for the dealer to finish what they have to do and i will make my decision as to keep it or return it. Chrysler can do better

I purchased this vehicle (used) in Arizona in October of 2016. Since that time, I've had issues with the car shutting sown because it's low on oil. this is bi-weekly. the car drinks oil like it is a dessert. I put at least a quart to 2 quarts of oil in the vehicle every 2-3 weeks. It's not leaking out so where is it going. It has been to the dealer at least 7 times. It will shut down on you in the middle of traffic if the oil is low within the 2-3 week period (very dangerous, especially when you're on the freeway0. the dealer says it does that to protect the engine. well how about finding out why it consumes so much oil..and where is it going. In addition, I ALWAYS have a check engine light. It's intermittent and of course the dealer can't get a reading if it's not on. the light popped on 2 weeks ago, I took it to auto zone for them to get a reading (because it was closer). It said it was the catalytic converter. I took it to the dealer the next day, it read the same thing. I returned a week later to have it repaired (mind you, it was determined that it was still under warranty)..Wouldn't you know, it didn't read catalytic converter, it read a misfire so they didn't replace the catalytic converter. How can both places have the same reading and it turns into something else. the acceleration is poor. It slows down when it like and has to catch up to go up a hill. I have not had this car a year yet and have spent most of my time with it in and out of the shop. I DO NOT recommend this vehicle because it is not reliable and it's costly. I may as well have an oil pump in my back yard. #verydissatisfied

I bought my car brand new from a well known dealership. It was the floor model limited edition. After 9 months of having the vehicle I started having electrical problems to the point it left me stranded on the side of the road. It was under warranty so I had that replaced. Then a few months later I started having transmission problems. Needless to say I am done with my Chrysler 200. I loved the car until it started having too many problems. I just cant do it anymore. I have a kid and thank God that both times that I was left on the side of the road he was not with me. It is now a safety concern of mine.

I like the look of the new 200 which is what got me there. I wasn't looking for an expensive car, need met. The car drives "OK", handles, brakes, and features the same. The big problems with this thing is the computer/transmission relationship. IT SUCKS!!!!! This car doesn't know which gear it wants to be in and at it's worse will just stop for a few seconds (when you need acceleration most) to think about it. Three times I've nearly been in an accident as a result of pulling out hoping for a quick acceleration only to find out that this car would rather think about it. To that I have found a solution should you find yourself in a similar situation (until you can buy yourself out of this dysfunctional relationship). I've been driving in "L" or low gear and while my gas milage has suffered a little, the power and acceleration are there when I need it, particularly in stop and go traffic or around town. (On the open highway, "D" works fine.) In low, the computer takes over far before "red line" so no need to worry about blowing ANYTHING and it shifts a if it had a "sport mode", which it doesn't. SOOOO, now I just hate the car rather than loathing it. Beyond that, given that it's rated the worst car two years running the depreciation is horrific. I hope this helps.

2.4 / 9 speed trans it will take a little time to get use to driving the car but once you do you wont even notice the 9 speed trans except for the fantastic fuel mileage you will be getting. City/21/24 Highway /40+ The only problem with the car they had to replace the thermostat it stuck open, it was under warranty no charge. The only money I have spent on this car is oil changes every 4 to 6000 miles & one set of tires. TO bad they quit making this car. No problems to report just oil changes, gas mileage still the same city & highway this really is a great car. Now have 65000 on the car still no problems. Had to put front brake pads on the front and have the front rotors turned oil changes when the car tells me ,regular maintenance that’s all still gets great gas mileage love this car .The car has 73000 still no problems regular oil changes that’s all very solid car. 78000 still just oil changes and finally had to put rear brake pads on thats it. I traded the car in on a Ram 1500, My overall about the 200 was great 👍

I bought the most expensive 2016 200c with every option available plus the extended warranty. Car was great for a month or two then stuff started happening. The adaptive cruise control sensors on front of car have plastic covers that go around them. One fell off, took it to dealer and they said there was never one there and it wasn't covered under warranty. Next the leather started to separate on passenger seat, only 5k miles and 4 months old. Took to dealer they submitted it to Chrysler who denied the claim and said it wasn't under warranty. I called customer care who said there was nothing they could do about it. Will never again buy from a Chrysler or from that dealer.

1. Great Price- bought used, 2016 model purchased 2017 with 9800 miles & paid $16,000 with dealer provided finance co. 2. Mechanical- still under warranty when purchased (1 warranty service replaced entire rack & pinion at 30,000 miles after i went off road, shhh). Motor, transmission, brakes, a/c, starter, alternator, etc. performing great holding up strong now at 49,000 miles. using as company vehicle 3. Performance- not a big fan of 4 cylinders, but surpassed expectations, as expected has slow acceleration but have tracked highway mileage at over 49 MPG at 1800 RPM flat highway. Cold air. Brakes average, but i have stomped them hard several times and still has firm pedal but does not stop quick like truck brakes. Fully expect motor and transmission to hold out well until trade in at 125,000 miles. No complaints about 9 speed transmission shifts smooth for me. starts easy, idles and runs smooth. Driven hard in Texas climate from hill country to desert terrain to Saltwater Gulf at 40,000 miles i have driven in less than 18 months. Runs strong and durable. 4. Comfort/ features- interior is loaded as are most 4 cylinders to hide economy of the power train. Bluetooth, stereo, automated controls, etc best i have had but newest vehicle i ever owned as i assume power ports, etc. are now standard equipment as phone, computer, audio, video technologies merge. Looks expensive based on dash (back uo camera, programmable features, monitors for MPG, air pressure, temperatures, etc. ). Good driving experience for balance of economy cost for purchase price, maintenance costs (american made parts & labor), operation (1 gallon of gas over 40 miles highway), & enough power for climbing hills, entering freeway speeds, and carrying people and cargi load capacity. The back seat headroom never an issue for me as front extra roomy and just put kids or shorter passengers in back (mom slept in back on road trips). If you want fancy or show not your vehicle but looks stylish inside and out for avg. surburban family. I would buy again.

Bought the car brand new first month had to take it back when in cruse control going up a small sill will slow down about 7 miles form set control then coming down it will speed up over 12 miles and I say over cause I had to disengage the control to slow down, took it to the dealership and they told me it is the nature of the model. Three months later I took it in for problems with front passenger carpet they semi fixed it, a month later took it back in for same reason they replaced it, about six months later took it in for a nose on the nob shifter every time I stepped on the beak and only with the motor running if you stepped on the break and put it on drive it wouldn't happen, the fixed that, it was a censer in the shifter. Couple of moths later doing about 75mph down a busy Hwy I have a truck on my back when to accelerate to pass and get out of this trucks way, all my gages when haywire and car when from 75 to 45 check engine light came on and heat gage showed it was hot so I pulled over gave it a few minutes though well I'll limp to the nearest exit stepped on gas and guess what went back to 75 like nothing had just happened, however the check engine light stayed on so took it back in following morning after all this was on a Sunday, they checked it out said it was a censer in the transmission, fixed that got it back a week later, the day I got it back went home at home go put it in reverse there it set transmission would not engage, took it back next day they had the car for another week they couldn't fine nothing wrong cense then it shifts funny, and now just took it in for the carpet issue AGAIN. I'm at the point that I don't know what to do any more I just know I don't want this car. I love the car the design of the car the looks but not all the problems I've been having

Sun roof leaked. Repaired multiple times. Dealer replaced it 2 times. Each time I'd get it back and each time I had a puddle in the rear passenger floor mat after it rained. The extra sensors for lane and object detection were very irritating. Either wouldn't work or would malfunction while on the freeway and I ultimately shut them off. Resale value was horrible. This is a highly rented vehicle. I would avoid this car.

I have had this car about 10months. The car will cut off while driving down the road. When you take it to the dealer they say it's just the oil. I had the oil changed and it continue to do the same things. Some morning the car will not Start. You have to hit the button five or six times before it will start. They gas peddle has a popping sound to it. The check engine light came on Friday. I took it to auto zone and had it put on the machine, then took it to the dealer ship. They put it on the machine before it went to the back. At auto zone and at the service desk the both had five different codes for what was going on with it. But once it went to the back the mechanic said they could not find a code or anything wrong with it. I will Never buy a car from five star again. If you can find any other car please do.

I've driven Volvo's for many years, but they are super expensive to maintain. I decided I would go with a Chrysler 200C. Im used to a luxury car, and the 200C checked all the boxes. I searched all over for the perfect C and had one shipped from Virginia to California. Mine has the blue exterior with the leather linen interior. Gorgeous! I think is the V6 model with the extra paddle shifters when you feel like taking off...and boy does it take off...like it's telling me, let's go. The styling and seating are wonderful, extremely comfortable. And the features are fabulous. Just had to get used to all the bells and whistles. My whole family wants to drive it. In fact, we've turned into a Cdjr dealership, lol! We bought a 2016 Dodge Dart Limited for my daughter, and she loves it, my son has a 2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude, and we just bought a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie which is a dream truck. We have had zero issues with all of our Chrysler products. Go Chrysler! We love you! Update: We now added another Chrysler product to our "family". We purchased an older vehicle, a 2010 Jeep Commder! We wanted a 4 x 4 for when we went up to the mountains ⛰ and room for the whole family. 3rd row seats, fits 7, and a V8 Hemi. Great, very low miles... like brand new. She loves gas though...but we love her! Still extremely happy with all our CDJR vehicles. Update: All vehicles listed above are running great, and we couldn't be happier with all of them!

Although I have owned my 2016 Chrysler 200S V6 AWD for 2 weeks and have a little under 400 miles on the odometer I can say with certainty that I absolutely love this car. Due to my job and being in the North East I needed an AWD vehicle and this Chrysler more than fits the bill. It has a nice and aggressive exterior design and the interior is absolutely fantastic. The front seats are comfortable and supportive while the controls are within easy reach. I purchased mine fully load with every option available. Heated and ventilated leather front seats, heated steering wheel, blind spot detection, navigation, panoramic moon roof, alloy wheels, rear seat vents and auto start. I traded my Honda Accord Sport for my 2016 Chrysler 200S and have been smiling ear to ear since. Previous to the Honda Accord Sport I owned a Mitsubishi Lance Ralliart that had a turbo charged 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine yet my Chrysler 200S performs almost as well. Bare in mind that the Ralliart was a sports car and the Chrysler is a family sedan yet the 295 horsepower V6 has plenty of power when needed and the Sport mode will push you back into your seat if you get hard on the gas. 0-60 in about 5.8 seconds is plenty quick for me especially when my Ralliart went 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Its basically an AWD family sedan muscle car that has a sweet sounding exhaust. I will say that this car is by no means perfect. The 9 speed automatic transmission can be a bit clunky at times, the stock tires are terrible and rear seat headroom is an issue if you have passengers over 6 feet tall riding in the back. I'm not in love with the braking either as the car is heavy but it my opinion the braking should be more responsive. Perhaps I just need to get used to it. However, when you take over $10,000 in incentives into consideration and can buy a car like this for under $30K it's an absolute no brainer. 3 years 36,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty and 5 years 60,000 miles on the powertrain. If you're like me and are looking for an AWD vehicle that has sharp looks, plenty of cargo room, have little ones and want a vehicle that can get you from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds look no further than the Chrysler 200S AWD V6. It's being discontinued so get one while you can before it's too late.

I purchased this 2016 4 door Chrysler 200 over a year ago from used car lot. Miles then was 14,000. carfax showed few miles and no issues, car was from Tampa Florida area. local dealer put on new tires and all new breaks/rotors. Wife and I have put 7,000 miles on it mostly during covid. It's roomy enough for us and leaves room for her to drive as a 5 foot tall driver, she loved the inside, the quiet interior, and V6 perfomace. No mechanical issues and gas mileage locally from 21 + to sometimes 28"+. Looking forward to trip to South Carolina and Florida soon. I love the feel of the road and quiet too. Beautiful Vivid Blue paint. and truck spaceouse enough for luggage.

This car seems to be hated but I love my 2016 200 S. The 2.4 isn't the fastest but it delivers just enough power when you need it. The transmission holds its gears into high rpm upon acceleration with a nice sound. The looks of this car are fantastic and the interior layout is very well thought out. I got a steal on mine used with 15k on the clock for 15000 dollars. Id buy it again and again

Glad I rented this car first. I was thinking about getting one, but now there is no way. If you get one better get use to "Key Fob not Detected" The push button start is fine when and if it detects the key fob. The ride noisy and uncomfortable, acceleration is terrible it hesitates. I would never rent one again.

This is a great car if you like having a car that will at random not want to start because it thinks something is wrong with the brakes. It is also a good find if you like taking the car to the dealer 4 times in 4 months and them having the car for 3 weeks of the 4 months you had it. After the 4 months of hell the car hasn't had anymore issues. They just need to get that extra quality check in so the car is good day 1 and not waiting for day 120.

Nice looking. Driving the Chrysler 200 2016 is a problem for me when I have a passenger in the car. I just cannot see traffic coming from the passenger side. When at a four way intersection the whole passenger side becomes a blind spot. And when I step out of the car on either driver or passenger side my foot gets stuck on the step up and over to step out of the car. the tint is very dark. Just don't know what I was thinking.Ready to trade in with only 10,000 miles.

The acceleration is a bit slow and jerky but once it's above 25mph it does great. The trunk is a grest v size and I am able to transport a full size string bass and full size cello at the same time (along with smaller instruments like violins, clarinets, trumpets and saxes! That was my biggest requirement. You have to duck a lot to get into the backnowledge seats and that is as an average height woman. It's fiber for kids, but tall teens might knock their heads! Overall, I love the carea, the features and it's response to braking and steering

have about 1 year with 16k on it. really no much complain about it. nice acceleration. so far so good. had visited the dealer once at 14k with some clunk noise and deal re-tightened some bolts or whatsoever. gas milage not good though (while I often floor it, as the rpm jumps to 6k).

I have purchased my 200, used with 44000 miles in it. I'm around 90000 miles right now. I haven't had any major problem with the car. I had to replace the battery twice, and once the spark plugs. Great mileage! I get around 30 mpg on freeway and city combined. The trunk space is huge. I'm still blown away how much stuff I can fit in there. The seats are comfortable. I've got mine for around $12000 and it's worth the money for me. Very satisfied with car.

(Note: be careful when renting a car that says something like "Toyota Camry or similar" - the "or similar" may be a Chrysler 200) The driver's seat took two days to put into a quasi-comfortable position. The grip to enable the driver to close the door was virtually unreachable, requiring you to nearly get out of the car to reach it. Worse, there seemed to be no way to turn off the radio, only mute it. This became problematic when I'd paired my phone to the entertainment system - the radio had to be on for me to hear my phone's GPS directions, but they were drowned out by whatever station the radio was on. And the radio (as well as the AC) came on as soon as I started the car, no matter how I tried to defeat it. The most incredible thing about this rolling disaster film was the transmission. It was beyond automatic; it was undecided. The car seemed to vacillate as to which gear it most preferred when going up a hill, shifting from low to another gear to another and back to low in a sort of random, capricious style similar to when our then-teenage daughters chose which lipstick to wear. Worst of all, the transmission is controlled by a knob on the center console. A knob! And right next to the transmission knob is another knob that controls the fan speed. It was quite easy to turn the fan up or down and instead turn the transmission knob. I'm confident the designer of the car is named "Sparky."

My car has black cloth interior which is impossible to keep clean. It gets white stains(like water stains) apparently from just body moisture. I finally bought seat covers to hide it. It won't vacuum out. Steam cleaning might work but who has to constantly steam clean their car's interior? It's definitely not the right material for use in a car! Also the color on the temperature arrows is rubbing off. The location of the headlight settings is to the lower left of the steering wheel where you knee hits it when getting in or out of the car. The transmission control is circular as is the fan control right above it which can be confusing. Your hand hits the emergency flasher button while adjusting other settings on the dash display. You are forced to take your eyes off the road to make adjustments on the dash display. The car looks and drives nicely but these other problems should have been detected when the car was designed and tested.

I purchased a 2016 200S AWD new in February 2017 at a great price. Has all the bells and whistles, This car is a sleeper. No problems at all in over 3 years, Handles great in Snow and Rain, the 295 HP V6 is Sweet and in sport mode and paddle shifters it Really rips. Rear Seat head and leg room, I don't care, I hardly ever have anyone in rear seat. This would have made a nice 2 door sport coupe instead of a 4 door

I bought mine in 2017 with 10k on it, it's been 8 yrs now with 45k and it's still running great with no issues. I keep it maintained, oil changed, tires rotated and serviced every year, still runs like new. Yes I'm over 6ft and I have to duck a little to get in, but I do that with all vehicles I get into. My daughter drove my car from Carolina to Pennsylvania, she loved it, except when she got pulled over by a cop for speeding, lol.... now she wants it. I bought as second vehicle to drive to work, cause its good on gas and at the time I bought it, my drive was 45 minutes one way and my 08 Sable just burned too much gas, so I went to this and it was the best choice I made, I think. It was a little hesitant shifting out of first, but I got used that over time, now I don't even notice it. Outside of that, haven't had any issues in the 8 yrs I've had it and I'm 45K now. It's a great car, Love my 200
