chrysler 200 2014 Complaints

POWER TRAIN

the car was purchased on 12/27/13. the next day, after stopping at a stop sign and the car would not accelerate when the driver pushed the gas. after pushing the accelerator repeatedly, the car moved. the dealer said the car was 1 1/2 quarts low on transmission fluid. subsequently, on several occasions, after stopping at a stop sign or to let oncoming traffic pass, the car has stalled as the driver pushed the gas then it jumped into gear. another time, the vehicle jumped into gear as the driver slowed to make a turn. when the car was taken back to the dealer, they found the transmission filtered was cracked and replaced it. however, the problems with the transmission continue. took the car in for test driving, we intend to leave the car at the dealership to be test driven over time. the problems are not evident every time the car is driven. additionally, today some knocking occurred under the car when the brakes were pressed. the car was purchased so it could be used for highway travel, but i am fearful of driving it on the highway because if it does not accelerate the car could be rear-ended.

ENGINE

shortly after purchasing my 2014 chrysler 200 3.6 this year i noticed problems. when driving in speeds of 10-35mph it would occasionally jerk/lunge while shifting into gear. i was told this is normal. it didn't happen often or all the time. then this week before we left for vacation we had the dealership change the oil and check all the fluid levels. i have 8400 miles on my car. while on vacation we were doing a lot more stop and go driving. the jerking and lunging was happening again, and then our engine light came on. we are out of state and now have to figure out what's going on with this. the car is running fine otherwise, the oil level is good and the gas cap is on. not sure what to do at this point. however, sounds like this jerking/ lunge issue has been a problem for quite some time and there has been no fix yet! great!

SEAT BELTS

the driver seat belt has some issues with buckling. ultimately, it does buckle but it is not secure. there has been instances where it unbuckled because of a body movement. in order to buckle it i have to insert the belt into the buckle at least 5-6 times, and even then i am not sure if it is entirely secure. this is a huge safety hazard for me.
