What owners report
Owners of this model year most often describe the engine shutting off while driving or when slowing to a stop, followed by problems with the 9-speed automatic transmission, including harsh or delayed shifting and the vehicle slipping into neutral. Electrical complaints are also common, particularly random stalls and no-starts linked to battery and power distribution issues, along with an intermittent airbag warning light. Reports cluster from roughly 40,000 to 100,000 miles and appear across varied weather and driving conditions rather than one specific climate.
- Engine
Engine stalls or shuts off while driving
- 733 complaints (37%)
- median 47,000 mi at 3.5 yrs old (589 state mileage)
- 27 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $700 (median of 9 quotes)
- filed 2014–2026
Complaints describe the engine cutting off without warning while driving, often when decelerating, braking for a stop, or making a turn. Owners report the vehicle then needs to be shifted into park and restarted, sometimes failing to restart for several attempts or several minutes; some note the battery light or dash lights come on, while others say no warning appeared at all. Several owners describe dealers replacing batteries, the ECU, or performing diagnostics without resolving the stall, and some mention being told no fault code was stored. Reported across a wide mileage range, typically from about 43,000 to 110,000 miles, and often while slowing for stops, turns, or merging.
Recall 15V470000Recall 18V3320002 related service bulletins
What to check: Ask whether the vehicle has had any stall-related repairs or software updates, and request a scan for stored codes. A test drive that includes braking to a stop and low-speed turns may reveal a stumble or shutdown.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“While driving about 30 miles an hour my car just shuts off and then won't start for about 5 minutes this almost caused me to have a collision because I could not steer very well. The car has not been serviced I have about 93,000 miles on my car. I'm only working part time because of covid and cannot afford to get it fixed. Please help me figure out what's wrong with my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11394341, filed 2021-02, 93,000 miles“Quite a few times now I have been driving down the road coming to a stop and my vehicle just shuts off. Oil life says 30% but the car still stalls and runs rough. I've almost been in 2 collisions because of this, and I've paid for 3 of the tows. They replaced my ecu but the problem is still happening.”
NHTSA complaint #11323159, filed 2020-05, 92,315 miles - Transmission and drivetrain
Transmission slipping, harsh shifts, or popping into neutral
- 660 complaints (33%)
- median 37,264 mi at 2.8 yrs old (536 state mileage)
- 37 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $500 (median of 13 quotes)
- filed 2014–2026
Owners describe the 9-speed automatic shifting roughly or hesitating, slipping when accelerating from a stop, and at times shifting itself into neutral or park while the vehicle is moving. Complaints frequently mention messages such as "shift to park to start," "service transmission," or a transmission warning light, and some report the shifter becoming stuck or the vehicle refusing to go into gear after a stop. Several owners say dealers reset the computer or were unable to duplicate the problem, while others report a park rod or related component diagnosis. Reported mostly between roughly 55,000 and 100,000 miles, frequently during low-speed driving and stop-and-go situations.
Recall 16V529000Recall 15V0900002 related service bulletins
What to check: Ask whether the transmission harness and park rod campaigns were completed, and test low-speed acceleration and shifting between drive, neutral, and park. A used-car inspection that scans the transmission module is worthwhile.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The vehicle started slowing down while I was driving to a stop and displayed the message 'shift to p to start'. I then put the car into park and tried to start it, it took two tries to start the car after it seemed to be struggling to start before finally starting on the 3 rd time. Then in the time span of me driving the two minutes back home it started to try and stop again.”
NHTSA complaint #11364635, filed 2020-10, 54,000 miles“My car has been having electronic problems. I tried to start it at my house and it wouldn't start. After jumping it, it started but it wouldn't shift into any gear the engine light came on as well as the parking brake, traction control, and performance shifting unavailable. I unhooked the battery in hopes it would help something then when I restarted it it's stuck in neutral and won't shift into park.”
NHTSA complaint #11311487, filed 2020-02, 50,000 miles - Electrical system
No-start, key fob not detected, and battery drain
- 276 complaints (14%)
- median 60,000 mi at 4.2 yrs old (213 state mileage)
- 8 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $500 (median of 9 quotes)
- filed 2014–2026
Complaints describe the vehicle failing to start or not turning over, sometimes with a "key fob not detected" message even when the fob is nearby, and occasional "engine warming, please wait to start" prompts. Owners report dash gauges and lights flickering or going dark, needing to disconnect and reconnect the battery to start the car, and batteries replaced without curing the problem. Some complaints reference the power distribution center as the diagnosed cause. Reported from roughly 46,000 to 115,000 miles, with many owners noting it happened intermittently after the vehicle had been parked.
Recall 15V470000Recall 15V461000Recall 18V3320003 related service bulletins
What to check: Ask whether the power distribution center and related software updates were addressed, and confirm both key fobs work reliably. Check that dash gauges and warning lights behave normally on a cold start.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“Instrument panel including all gauges flash and then turn off while driving. After a little while they come in on but while they are off, there is no way to know how fast the vehicle is moving. This has happened while the vehicle is in motion while in a rural area, also on a highway and in this instance the instrument panel was off for 2 minutes and it has happened on a regular roadway. I have a video of the issue in action if needed but I hope the picture helps as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #11350660, filed 2020-08, 82,561 miles“I purchased the car on september 23rd, 2017, with approximately $42,000 mills. In january 2018, I began having some headlights, airbags, and engine lights issues. I took it to the car dealership service to get a headlight bulb replacement, an airbag check, and engine reset. Three months later, the same issues occur with the airbag light going on and off, and the headlight bulb needed another replacement. I also begin having some key fob not detected issue, even if I am holding the key right next to the push start button. …”
NHTSA complaint #11352209, filed 2020-08, 46,000 miles - Air bags
Airbag warning light stays on or comes and goes
- 249 complaints (12%)
- median 58,000 mi at 3.6 yrs old (171 state mileage)
- 19 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $2,000 (median of 15 quotes)
- filed 2015–2026
Owners describe a "service airbag system" message or passenger airbag light that illuminates and stays on for extended periods, sometimes turning off for weeks and then returning. Several complaints note the light persisted even after dealer visits or repairs, and some owners connect it to concern about whether the airbag would deploy in a crash. Reported from about 46,000 to 100,000 miles, often appearing intermittently without a specific driving condition.
What to check: Ask whether the occupant classification module and seat cushion foam were replaced together as a calibrated set, and confirm the airbag light is off at startup and stays off during a test drive.

“While driving into my parking spot suddenly ABS, awb unavailable, performance shifting unavailable, service airbag, cruise control unavailable, front park sense unavailable, lane sense unavailable, dash lights appeared as my car lost any availability to shift gears, accelerate or decelerate”
NHTSA complaint #11413147, filed 2021-04, 90,407 miles“The light to get airbag serviced keeps coming on and going off. It has started stalling randomly while driving or coming to a stop. Noticed that it didn't do it as bad once car was warmed up, but then it dropped power while we were in traffic on a bridge overpass and we had to limp it home. Looked up the warning light meanings and it said we should not drive it as it will either lose power without warning and have to be limped or it will accelerate and we would have no way to stop it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11298234, filed 2020-01, 60,000 miles - Engine
Excessive oil consumption and low oil warnings
Mentioned in 4 of 60 sampled complaints
Complaints describe the oil level dropping noticeably between changes, with owners finding the dipstick low after topping off, and the low oil pressure or check engine light coming on. Some owners report rough running or stalling alongside the oil loss, and dealers were asked to perform oil consumption checks. A service bulletin addresses excessive oil consumption on the 2.4L engine with a warranty extension. Mostly reported between about 65,000 and 90,000 miles, noticed when checking oil between scheduled changes.
What to check: Check the oil level on the dipstick and look for a fuel or burning smell, and ask whether the oil consumption warranty extension or any oil consumption test was performed.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The vehicle would cut off after starting & driving a very short distance then the check engine/flashing lightning bolt would come on. Once the car was off and then restarted, the lights would go off and it might run fine as long as you didn't accelerate too quickly & drove a good distance without having to stop and start a lot. The issue would arise more when driving short distances with constant stops & tight turns or sometimes when having to de-accelerate quickly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11386914, filed 2021-01, 107,000 miles“The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, she checked the oil in the vehicle, and the dipstick showed that the engine was 1 ¼ quarts of oil low. The contact topped off the oil level however, after a month the contact checked the oil again and noticed that the oil level was very low. The contact was concerned that the vehicle was consuming too much engine oil. The check engine warning light was illuminated. …”
NHTSA complaint #11425204, filed 2021-07, 67,000 miles
Buying note. For this model year the most useful steps are to verify that the open transmission, electrical, and airbag campaigns and related software updates were completed, and to test drive at low speed with stops and turns to watch for stalling or shifting problems. A pre-purchase inspection that scans for stored codes and checks oil level is worth the cost given how often owners report intermittent symptoms that dealers could not reproduce.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample. The excerpts come from NHTSA's public complaint records and are unverified; capitalisation is normalised, NHTSA staff notes are removed, and shortened text ends with “…”. Something wrong?
