More specifically. ANY OTHER CAR BRAND WOULD BE BETTER. SUBARU MAZDA TOYOTA LEXUS HONDA. I would not put any more money into that stationary pile of junk.

Thank you for your feedback!! I really appreciate your insight. My current mileage is 102,638 on the odometer. I hit 100,000 miles about a year ago today actually. I don't have to drive far to work, only about 10 minutes, so I don't put a lot of miles on my car. My first car, a 2006 Chevy HHR had transmission issues (Wouldn't reverse) and I wanted to avoid this issue with my Chrysler so I change my transmission fluid regularly. When I first got the Chrysler I had my mechanic change out the transmission fluid back when the Chrysler only had 98,000 miles on the odometer. I asked my mechanic how often you're supposed to change out the transmission fluid and he informed me that it should be changed out every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. I don't think I'll ever have to change the transmission fluid again with this Chrysler. Do you know what normally causes a car's engine to suddenly turn off for no given reason? Are Chryslers known for stalling? You'd think there'd be a solution to this stalling madness by now if a handful of people besides myself are experiencing the same issue.

100k miles? You are lucky. The newer ones 2015 2017 etc. have their engine blow up at 40k miles. 100k miles is like a million miles on a BMW. You won't have anything but problems from now on. I would not even both fixing the car and just either trade it in or send it to the local junkyard.

Hello, thank you so much for your reply! That's precisely the reason why I'm so upset about this unfortunate situation with the stalling. You'd think that if you bought something more modern, it'd be better quality. I guess this really isn't the case for me now is it. I went from an 06 Chevy HHR that wouldn't go in reverse to a 13 Chrysler that stalls constantly. Two absolute lemons! My mechanic had my Chrysler for close to five weeks. He had to drive it and have it stall on him in order to get a code from his code reader. The code reader doesn't output a code I guess becuase when the car stalls, the check engine light doesn't see that as a problem? Stalling isn't a problem I guess? The check engine light never comes on when the car stalls, you think that it would. Anyways, when he got the Chrysler to stall for him, he got a code and thought we were all good to go. Wouldn't you know that the Chrysler stalled out on him again and gave him a different code? Everytime it stalls it spits out a different code from the last. I guess there really is no way of knowing what the main problem is that is causing the stalling.

It's because you went from the second worst manufacturer of cars (GM) to the absolute worst (FCA). Italian engine and transmissions and are "imported" from Michigan. Their build quality is nothing more than horrendous. I feel bad more the situation you are in. I would not put any more money into it. I had similar issues with my older cars and I just traded it in for 500 bucks and had a new start. I would consider getting rid of it getting a 2013+ Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. They will have 3 4 times less the amount of problems you had with your "Chrysler", which is actually just a Fiat. I would look at carcomplaints.com to see the most common problems for you car. According to the site, the most common problems are TONS of transmission, engine, electrical, and AC issues. The 2015 Chrysler 200 gets the title "avoid like the plague". I would just get rid of it not worth putting any more money. You are lucky the newer 2015+ ones have the engine blow up at 40k miles you are lucky you got 100k out of a 200.

Thank you so much for your input! I should have mentioned this in the beginning, but I've test drove both an Accord and a Camry. My height is a major issue for me and cars. Both the Camry and the Accord were too small for me. The steering wheel of both car makes practically sat in my lap. My knees were nearly higher than the steering wheel. Also, the car dealership I went to explained that they wouldn't sell me either the Camry or Accord because my head was nearly touching the roof of the vehicle. They informed me that if I ever got into an accident, and the car tumbled over, I'd probably be dead on the force of the impact of my skull hitting the car roof. I'm 6'6" and when I could no longer drive my 06 Chevy HHR, the first thing I searched for when looking for my second car was "Cars for tall people" and the Chrysler 200 was the first thing that popped up. I ended up going to see the Chrysler I have now the very next day and getting it that very same day. I didn't know how unreliable they were, it's such a shame. I fit so well in it, the dealer said it's most likely becuase it's a longer vehicle, so I get more legroom in it. That's honestly the main reason I've been trying so hard to fix this mess too, but I guess the problem is never going to get resolved. What kind of sedan would you recommend someone who is tall?

Hey! I have an idea. Did you ever test a used Subaru Forester? Like 2016 2017? Try to find one with a manuel transmission they make bulletproof manuels you can learn how to drive stick and there is a ton of headroom in those. Or in general, consider an SUV. Toyota Highlander, Honda CR-V, etc. The Accord and Camry have only 1 to 2 inches less headroom than your Chrysler according to online. The Subaru has 2 inches more. Consider a Highlander even! If I were you, I would make a new question on this site about your new problem of finding a car fit for taller people, how Accord and Camry were too small! Good luck with getting rid of that car and finding one fit for you!

Consider cars like the Toyota Venza, which is Camry based crossover/wagon/SUV. A 2011 2013 or so Subaru Legacy would also be a good choise considering that it has the exact same headroom as a same year Chrysler 200. Subaru is about spaciousness so I would consdier that. There are many companies like Mazda and Subaru which make excellent cars, but have more entertaining and more reliable manuel transmissions. Hey, you are tall and if you are fit for it, and dont live in Los Angeles or something, learn how to drive stick it is not as hard as you think! Hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your reply! I've had my mechanic try for codes a few times. The first code he got when the car stalled on him had to do something with the key. My mechanic informed me that I probably had to get a new key since the current key I had (the only key that came with the car from the dealership) was all worn out. My mechanic said that the car was starting and running (but also stalling), but the computer inside the car wasn't registering the key in the ignition? Anyways, I left the repairshop and headed down to get a new key made. The next day I thought things would be different, I thought everything would be better now that I have a new key. This was not the case unfortunately. My Chrysler still stalled even with a brand new key. I told my mechanic and he told me he'd drive my Chrysler around for a while to try to get to the root of the problem. My mechanic has never given up on me, he just can't figure out the main cause if the stalling. Everytime the Chrysler stalls, it spits out a different code on the code reader. The Chrysler only spits out a code on the code reader when it stalls. Apparnelty the code reader doesn't read anything being wrong with the car while it's in park. I'm just extremely baffled and so is my mechanic. I called the Chrysler manufacturer and they were real snotty with me. They rudely said that "nothing was wrong" even tho I informed them of the stalling problem. I guess stalling really isn't an issue to them. My mechanic advised me to give the Chrysler manufacturer a call just to see if there were any recalls on my specific Chrysler. There were no recalls, and the manufacturer abruptly hung up on me. I was entirely calm and respectful during the phone call too, they must get a lot of complaints or something because I don't know what they were so triggered about.

Probably tired of hearing complaints about their shoddy creations. I'm sorry you are having these problems. As mentioned before, your history of auto ownership has been a series of "what not to buy" cars.
