Description of the problem | I have a 2015 chrysler 200s, my car has stalled on 3 occasions while driving, each at different speeds. On two of the incidents, the car shut off, i was able to coast safely to the side of the road and place the car back into park. Once in park i was able to restart the engine and proceed with driving. On july 8, 2014 the car stalled and totally shut down. The car was locked and would not do anything. I attempted to place the car in park however the control knob (center console on these cars) to do so was locked and would not move. The engine was shut down however all electrical systems were still active within the car. Several service messages cycled through the display on the vehicle; therefore i contacted chrysler roadside assistance. Roadside assistance arrived and my car was towed to the nearest chrysler dealer (not the dealer i bought it from). Once at the dealer i was informed that my car would not be able to be looked at because they were too busy. Therefore my car remained on the lot, all electrical systems were still running throughout the entire night (approximately 12-15 hours) before it was looked at. In that time the battery had died, once it was jumped it started and it was able to be pulled into a service bay. After 2 days in the service dept i was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They "road tested" the car 102 miles as instructed by chrysler however no codes were active in regards to the incident on july 8, 2014. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. The final verdict from the dealer was, we cannot recreate the stalling and shutdown therefore we will be returning the car to you. The car was bought brand new and i have had it 3 weeks. |
