chrysler 200 ignition locked Show
12/01/2021 3:10 pm Topic starter The other day I was on the road and saw a guy stopped in the middle of the road in a 2017 Chrysler 200. I ended up coming by to see if he needed a jump or some help pushing, but it turned out the car had locked up in the road and was saying that the ignition was locked. Even after trying to get the key fob close to the sensor and trying to restart it, the car wouldn't even shift to neutral and the brakes were locked. What could be the the cause of that? It definitely doesn't make sense why there isn't an easy emergency release. (@dannydarko) New Member | 2 Posts It seems it is from the loss of communication between the fob and the ignition switch. Reason: lack of quality in these cars.  yaser (@yaser) Moderator Moderator | 9923 Posts As a person answering car questions every day I can not tell you how many Chrysler 200s between model years 2013-2017 we had people on this forum buy that were absolute junk. BECAUSE THEY ARE. 90% of people here know this by now. This can be your evidence Scotty knows a thing or two;) Always people who don't know much about car reliability buy them and at like 80 90k miles I see them on this forum asking why the engien blew up or the car won't start. Typical Italian junk. Keep in mind that the 200 is essentially a Fiat with a Chrysler badge. Though Scotty is a bit hyperbolic about Chrysler, the Fiat part is all junk. Some ideas have been good . The 200 was NOT. MLKCRTNZ (@mlkcrtnz) Eminent Member | 40 Posts Chrysler 200 owners have reported 33 problems related to car will not start (under the electrical system category).

First time it started back up after 5 minutes. Second time started back up after being jumped eventhough the battery had charge. This last time the car would not start. It has the power it was turning over but the engine would not start. Power steering turned off in both occasions. I had to have me vehicle towed and it still will not start. I was driving approximately 60 mph on a paved highway route 244, it turned off on a straight away, no hills or turns.

See all problems of the 2015 Chrysler 200 🔎. 3 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 01/13/2021 Car shuts off while braking, and turns everything off. It also �locks� the brake, and takes minutes to release. When this happens all lights turn off, push to start won't work, and engine will not start. The car cuts off at the most inopportune times, and makes driving extremely dangerous. It's been shutting off more frequently, and for longer moments at a time. This usually occurs on street's but has occurred in two drive-thrus. On one occasion the car shut off mid-turn. Again this makes driving incredibly dangerous, and is frustrating and inconvenient. This is my only means of transportation so driving has become a risk. 4 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 10/23/2020 I doing 70mph on the fwy and the car just lost power. I took it to a shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I had it replaced. 1 week later I tried to start the car and it would not start. I called aaa and when they came the car started. The same day I was on the fwy and the engine shut down again. I was terrified as a big rig was right behind me. I called the mechanic and had the car towed to his shop. He tested it and said the fuel pump must be bad. We replaced it again. The car seemed to run fine. Please note I only drive 5 to 10 miles a day. I was on the fwy again this week and the engine quit again. I went online to see if I was the only one having this kind of problem and found dozens of people having the same problem. I was very disharden to learn there was no recall for this. I was almost involved in 2 serious wrecks on the fwy. I called my local Chrysler dealer to be told there was nothing they can do. Please advise. See all problems of the 2013 Chrysler 200 🔎. 5 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 02/21/2020 Car will not start.

Dash went dark, radio off, car completely turned off! luckily she was by an off ramp and was able to coast to a stop at the top of the ramp. The only thing that was still working was the brakes, thank goodness! the car did not restart right away. No electrical components came back on either with turning the key. About an hour later the car did restart. We took it to a Chrysler dealership the next day. They kept it for 2 days. They were unable to pull any codes from the car or recreate the event, thus being unable to fix the car and answer why it happened!.
21 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 08/13/2018 I was sitting in my car and notice the airbag light appeared and I knew I had just got it fixed at a Chrysler dealership that charge me $183 for diagnostics when they seen it itself. Also it keeps going on and off couple of days later my car would not start. It was not the battery because the lights were on there was no start for the click I waited about 20 minutes and it started something are wrong with these Chrysler cars it is imperative why a car should not start or airbag light keep coming on once they are fixed I will never bye a Chrysler again this is harmful to me and my children something needs to be done. 22 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 01/02/2018 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. I changed the battery on the key, but the issue persisted. I took it back to the dealership service. They had to replace the entire key system and provide me with a new key. By the end of 2019, my screen went black while driving and came back on after a few minutes. By March 2020, the screen shut off completely and my car would not start unless been put on a new battery or after several jump-starts. If I turn off the car and try to turn it back on, my battery and engine light signals are on, and I need to jump-start the car again or get another battery. My first new battery replacement did not last a month. 23 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 10/30/2017 Car purchased 10/21/2016, 3 months later problems began. 01/16/2016 service air bag light came on and will not go off. Dealer said it is not covered under my extended warranty, for what reason I still don't know. Taken the car to 3 different shops to work on it and I keep being told it is a passenger seat connector, yet I have had this done 3 times now. . . $500 out of pocket each time, the light is still on as of 11/10/2017. Now the car also has a service engine light on constantly along with this airbag light. As well as of 10/25/2017 my car has began to tell me the engine is running hot while I'm driving, but the thermostat display inside never even gets to half. . So not sure about this now. As well as also telling me to service the electronic throttle control as soon as the overheat sensor goes off. Lastly I was at the gas station the other day and the car wouldn't start, it said the keyfob not detected but it was in my hand! had to google what to do. . (which is put nose of keyfob to button and press it that way if happens to anybody else) soo that would be a total of 4 different lights on at this time of 11/10/2017. Enterprise has yet to help me or get back to me on any of these issues. It was a rental car before I bought it from them, obviously they sold me a lemon! as I was getting an oil change on 11/01/17 I had them run codes and it and it read I needed a new thermostat to take care of the engine overheating and the etc light. . . Needless to say this has been a car from hell. I have filed complaints to enterprise about this car repeatedly especially with it all happening so soon after getting the car. I'm stuck with it now so I would love for somebody to know what there doing and actually fix this car!!!. 24 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 09/29/2017 As I was on my way to work at 5:30 am this car stalled and told me to pull over, turn off engine and place in park. I live in country so there was nothing but a back country road. The car would not start at all would not shift into park, I called my husband to come help me. He had to pull both battery terminals off and reconnect them. After I was 2 hours late to work the car finally started again. Since this incident this has happened 3 more times at different times of day. 25 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 08/25/2017 The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The key fob also failed to lock and unlock the vehicle doors and the tire monitor failed to function. In addition, while pulling out of the driveway, the electronic emergency brake applied independently without warning, causing both rear wheels to lock up. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000. 26 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 07/27/2017 The car will not crank even though the key fob is in close proximity. It can take up to 1 hour (sometimes more, sometimes less) to get the car cranked. The car starts at random. . . No special technique can be used to get this car to crank as it should. The key fob works for locking, unlocking doors; however, it does not work to start ignition. I have replaced the battery in the fob, had the car's battery tested (it's in good working order), taken it back to the dealership of purchase twice. I have been dealing with this issue for several days now in upper 90 degree weather in florida. The vehicle is immobile/stationary. The occurrences have happened at home, work, grocery store, restaurant. Additionally I have noticed that the car skips while in motion. It feels as if something gets hung up and then releases. This is unsafe and frustrating. This car is crap!. 27 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 06/27/2017 Engine stopped while waiting at red light and would not start back up. All lights radio ect. . Were working. Car had gas. Got a hotshot, car started back up. The next day go to start car and it wouldn't start. 2days work missed. Upset$?!!. 28 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2016 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 10/10/2016 Tl the contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and the neutral, brake park system, and air bag indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several dealers, including peterson Toyota (910-375-4996, located at 4381 fayetteville rd, lumberton, nc 28358), but the technician was unable to diagnose the failures. The failures recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer. The technician diagnosed that an unknown wire was loose. The wire was welded, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and referred the contact to hendrick Chrysler Jeep fiat (910-676-7672, located at 543 n mcpherson church rd, fayetteville, nc 28303) where the technician reset the computer system and the warning indicators went off.

The vehicle would not start again and was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power distribution center failed. The vehicle was repaired back in November of 2015 for the same failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000. 30 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 12/05/2015 The power distribution center (pdc), shifter, parking break, transmission wire, power train, and engine stopped working on 12/05/15. The care completely shut down. I had it towed to a local dealer on 12/7/15. The worked on it all week through 12/10/15. The called me and told me everything was fixed. I came to pick it up, and I drove it back to work, to the store, then back home where it was parked over night. I wake up this morning to go to work and drop my girls off at school and the same thing happens. The car will not start, the brake is tight, the system is not detecting my key fob, and the care jerks a little bit and then dies. The dash will come on but the care will not shift out of park. I have it towed back to the dealership and they tell me "it worked last yesterday once we finished repairs. ' I'm frustrated and made because I only received notification that 2 weeks ago that my car was up for a recall. Then the dealer's service department tell me it's under 2-3 recalls. My insurance will provide a rental car. However, since this is mechanical and not due to an accident I can't get a rental. I call the dealer to request a loaner car, and they tell me that Chrysler only provides them with five loaner cars, and they are currently being used for higher priority customers who major engine or transmission problems. If I read this one recall correct, one of the issues can cause me to hurt myself or others in a bad accident it this issue is not correct. To top it off they won't even provide me with a loaner car until they fix a problem that was caused in the manufacturing process. Chrysler tells me that they don't usually replace cars, as they probably will only make repairs to fix the problem. The dealer here tells me that the recalls were made in February 2015. Why wasn't I notified until recently. I could have seriously injured myself and my family. Very unhappy!. 31 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200Failure Date: 06/05/2015 Friday: while wife was driving the car suddenly vibrated and stalled.

Dealer said to continue to drive. Engine light went off over the weekend. Sunday: driving at approximately 25 miles per hour car suddenly stalled and we were able to coast to side of road. Car indicated it was still on and running even though it was off. Was able to put car in park and eventually shut it off. Car would not restart. Car would not change gears, so unable to put it in neutral when tow arrived. Towed to dealer and they held it until Friday.

The vehicles engine suddenly stopped whilst I was on a crowded road during rush hour. I had no ability to accelerate, nor enough motion to get to parking lot. I was forced to stop in a right hand turn lane. I was instructed to put the vehicle in park, and restart. At this time the vehicle did not restart and I called my insurance company to request a tow, and police assistance to increase the visibility of my vehicle and to keep traffic away to prevent an accident. At this time, the dealership has stated that there were no error codes showing, and that the day following this incident the car started fine. I am concerned that since this is a vehicle that is a fresh redesign that not all of the major issues were caught before deploying the vehicle on the road. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle without an explanation for what happened, and how it was fixed. What can cause a 2015 Chrysler 200 to not start?The most common reasons a Chrysler 200 won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.
