2015 Chrysler 200 Review: Extremely Unreliable & Cramped Midsize Sedan With Transmission Failures

Alex Showalter
Oct 25, 2022

The 2015 Chrysler 200 only lasts around 120,000 miles with serious transmission and engine problems. At $11,875 to $14,400, it’s cheap, but not worth the money when it will take thousands to keep one running as it gets older.

Sleek head turner with all the necessary comforts for a very enjoyable ride.
Sleek black look with a very quiet ride. I enjoy that while I'm driving all the Buttons are easily accessible. It's performance overall is very nice. The seats are leather with heat if preferred. Drives very well in the snow. The exterior design is very comfortable, and the outside is very sporty. The look of this car turns hard for sure. Not had many mechanical problems AT ALL IN THE 3 years I've owned it.

Electrical recall but an easy fix. Other than that I'drives great, seats for comfortably and I love the seats heat up. Truck is really big, has satellite radio and great on gas. It will alert you whenever you have a maintenance due or if your tires are low.

Awesome. Very spacious. Overall I am very satisfied.
Nothing yet. It is smooth driving, easy to handle. I never thought I would get a car. But I test drove it and fell in love. I am still learning all my features in my car. It has a lot of room in the back seat and in the trunk. Most of all it is a cool looking car.

I love my car! It has great gas mileage and hands free capabilities. It alerts me quickly if there is a problem.

It's simple, smart, fuel efficient, and comfortable.
The car has a comfortable interior with splendid hands free features that allows the car to uphold a standard of quality with an affordable price. Furthermore, parts for repairs come relatively cheap at most popular auto part vendors like autozone which I use the most. To add to that, the car rarely experiences any issues and the seats fit great for both smaller and larger passengers. The full electric driver side control is very convenient and allows full control of the vehicles functions at arms length. It's overall just a great car, simple and enjoyable.

One of the best cars I've ever had
The car has been super reliable for the last three years. The backup camera is very helpful when reversing. The car is a spacious five seater. I haven't had to bring it in for maintenance besides the oil changes, brake flush and windshield wipers since I've owned this vehicle. It's great on gas especially on long car rides. It's one of my favorite cars I've ever owned.

2015 Chrysler 200 limited sedan.
My sedan has a sleek look with comfortable interior. It gets great gas mileage and seats 5 people. The interior matches the outside. The engine size is perfect for the size of the car. It also has Bluetooth and leather seats, to add a bit of comfortability and lifestyle to the car.

It looks good on the outside but under the hood it is not so good.

It's a 2015 Chrysler 200, four door, front wheel drive. Has Bluetooth, automatic seats and windows. Has a backup camera. Great sound system. Great first started for a family.

DO NOT BUY
Transmission problems within the first year. They kept updating the software which only worked for a week or two. They finally replaced the transmission and it still drove like c**p. I had another appointment set to get it looked at but before I could take it in it caught on fire. I was taking a ride to the store and on the way home I saw smoke coming from under the hood. Pulled over and got out of the car. I could see flames under the engine and within minute the entire car was engulfed in flames.

The Chrysler 200 is not a great family car.
The car jerks a lot when going and stopping. The trunk is nice and large but the room inside the car is not big enough for a car seat. We cannot put the driver's seat all the way back. Gas mileage is great. Neither of the mirrors have lights on them. Overall an ok car but would never purchase again.

Poor transmission and make, beautiful car on outside.
The transmission blew within months of getting the car and the emergency light never came on. The transmission was fixed but ever since the car is jumpy and makes a thumping noise. The gas mileage is trash and the filter of the air conditioning constantly needs replacing far more frequently than normal.

What Do Critics Say About the Chrysler 200?

  • Consumer Reports says the Chrysler 200 ranks behind the competition by a large margin with terrible owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds rates the Chrysler 200 at 3.6/5, praising the powerful V6 engine, but they don’t like the limited passenger room.
  • Kelley Blue Book users give the Chrysler 200 a 3.8/5 enjoying the efficient 9-speed transmission, although they don’t like the lack of technology.

What Common Problems Does the 2015 Chrysler 200 Have?

Common problems found on the 2015 Chrysler 200 include transmission failures, the engine dying while driving, and being unable to start. Overall, these problems are much more severe than other midsize sedans, leading to higher repair bills as well.

Transmission failures are an extremely widespread complaint in the first 50,000 miles. There are a lot of weak components in the transmission which wear out as the Chrysler 200 ages. Rebuilding the transmission costs around $1,500, while a full replacement is nearly $4,000.

The engine dying while driving is another common problem at around 60,000 miles. The source of the problem varies depending on the car. It can be anything from a bad power cable which costs $150 to replace, all the way up to broken parts in the engine costing $1,600 to replace.

Being unable to start also shows up on a lot of Chrysler 200 models at around 25,000 miles. There are some computer issues mentioned by owners with the totally integrated power module (TIPM). If the TIPM fails it will need to be replaced, costing around $1,800, depending on local labor rates.

There are 8 serious recalls, which is worse than other midsize sedans from 2015. The most serious recall covers the transmission unexpectedly shifting into neutral, which increases the risk of a crash. Chrysler will reprogram the transmission control module to fix the issue on affected models. Other recalls cover the suspension, as well as wire harnesses which break.

How Long Will the 2015 Chrysler 200 Last?

A well-maintained 2015 Chrysler 200 may last around 120,000 miles, which is less than half as long as the top-rated Toyota Camry. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than average, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $552 per year.

Since nearly all 2015 Chrysler 200 models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the brake master cylinder for $450, oxygen sensors costing $220, as well as the engine oil pan, which costs $475.

This is a reliable car. I have not had any issues with it, so far. Only issue I have had was with the navigation system. This was covered under warranty and ended up getting fixed.

accountCircle Kirsten S

Its reliable just sucks because of the ac and the heater. Especially in the winter when it's very cold.

The check engine light comes on every now and then, but for the most part it is a reliable vehicle. I really do not have any complaints.

accountCircle Becky B

It is reliable. The only issue I've had was the battery was drained by a phone charger when it sat for a week because the charger was left plugged in to an outlet that provides constant power to the outlet.

accountCircle lexi h

Yes super reliable, gets me too and from work, safe and sound. No it does not have any issues, runs good, gets good gas mileage and it's a nice looking car.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is average in the 2015 Chrysler 200 with optional 5 or 8.4-inch touch screen stereo systems available. Safety technology is also very good, offering an optional rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, and even forward collision warning with automatic braking.

Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 a Good Value?

No, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is not a good value since there are a lot of expensive problems that develop as they get older. Blue book prices range from $12,300 to $14,850, making it cheaper than a Honda Accord or VW Passat. When new, the price range was $21,995 to $30,825. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 13% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Chrysler 200?

There are four models of the Chrysler 200 offered in 2015 from the base LX all the way up to the more luxurious C.

LX is the entry-level model with:

  • 17-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Cloth Seating
  • Keyless Entry & Ignition
  • Cruise Control
  • 4-Speaker Stereo System
  • Optional Bluetooth Connectivity
  • Optional 5-Inch Touchscreen

Limited is a step up, adding:

  • 6-Speaker Stereo System
  • Optional Remote Ignition

S is next in the lineup with:

  • 18-Inch Wheels
  • Sport Suspension

  • Acoustic Windshield
  • Rearview Camera
  • Dual-Zone Climate Control

C is the flagship model which adds:

  • Unique 17-Inch Wheels

What Engines Come In the Chrysler 200?

  • The base engine is an average 2.4L-4-cylinder which makes 184 horsepower while getting up to 28 MPG.
  • A step up is the strong 3.6L V6 which generates 295 horsepower at up to 22 MPG. Performance is good, taking only 6.2 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Chrysler 200 Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Chrysler 200?

The 2015 Chrysler 200 is a comfortable midsize sedan offering room for up to 5 people. The seats are softer than average for a sedan, leading to the cushions wearing down quickly as they age.

Passenger room is worse than other midsize sedans with less legroom in the back seats, making them cramped for anyone over 6 feet tall.

How Much Storage Space Does the Chrysler 200 Have?

Cargo space is better than the competition with a very large trunk which has enough room to fit 5-6 full size suitcases.

VehicleHistory Image

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The second generation of the Chrysler 200 was introduced in 2015 and was discontinued after 2017 due to declining sales.

2011: Renamed version of the Chrysler Sebring with new engines & styling.

2012: No major changes.

2013: S package only available on Touring & Limited models.

2014: Standard 6-speed automatic transmission on all models.

2015: Fully redesigned for the second generation with all-new styling and engines.

2016: Firmer front seats, optional 90th anniversary package, rearview camera on Limited model.

2017: Final model year for the Chrysler 200 with no major changes.

How Does the Chrysler 200 Compare to the Competition?

The Chrysler 200 ranks as one of the worst midsize cars from 2015 since there are a lot of serious mechanical problems which show up as it ages, making it one to avoid.

The Ford Fusion is another midsize sedan which costs around $1,500 less. Passenger room is better in the Ford Fusion, while the Chrysler 200 has a nicer interior for the money. We recommend the Ford Fusion since there are significantly fewer complaints from owners.

The Hyundai Sonata is a competitor which costs around $700 more. Reliability ratings are much better in the Hyundai Sonata, although the Chrysler 200 has a more powerful engine available. We recommend the Hyundai Sonata since it will last longer, with lower running costs.

I love this car... But only because I bought the Mopar Maximum Care extended warranty.
I love my car, I really do. I own the 2015 Chrysler 200C with the V-6 engine and every option except for the safety package (I don't need my car to tell me how to maintain my lane) and the AWD (this was a huge mistake and wish I'd gotten it). However, the only reason I can and still love it is because I bought the lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty (Max Care). Since buying it off the showroom floor in March 2015 I've had the following parts replaced: - Upper Contol Arms (both) - Lower Control Arms (both) - Strut Mounts (both sides) - Struts (both twice) - Shocks (twice) - Transmission - Transmission Control Unit - Steering Gear Module (twice) - Oil Cooler - Water Pump - Nearly every radiator hose - Whole top end of the engine (valves, cams, rockers, lifters, etc) - #6 Cylinder Fuel Injector - Two Motor Mounts - Wheel (cracked for no apparent reason) - Driver Seat Rail (bent...and I only weigh 170 lbs) - Driver Seat Bottm (tear in leather) I'm sure I've forgotten to mention something. In any case, I do love the styling, the handing, the sound system, etc. She drives like a dream when everything works. All told I've spent over $1400 just on warranty deductibles but it sure beats the heck out of paying the umpteen thousands of dollars that I would have spent repairing this car since I bought it. Final thought: I love her, but if it weren't for the warranty, I would have sold her or junked her a long time ago.

I love my 2015 Chrysler 200!
Bought the car used with around 43k miles , close to 5yrs ago. I now have almost 194k miles on it and no major issues so far. I'm a speeder, thought that was worth mentioning. I've driven it from Indianapolis to Pigeon Forge atleast 3 times, a non-stop drive to Myrtle Beach as well, packed to the gills. Mileage is still around 35/40mpg on long drives. It does use more oil than I think it should. It has changed my mind on whatI thought 4 cylinders could be capable of. I've always owned 8's tillI started having to drive a lot for work. I get close to 100 miles a day. I don't know if my story is typical, but I definitely think it's worth mentioning.

Mostly reliable, but will cause issues very randomly.
Issues with heat only working on highest setting, computer shuts down and restarts constantly (this happens randomly), car hydroplanes very easily. Lots of backseat space, but design creates giant blind spot, and style of trunk makes it so anything large cannot be put into it even though it would fit.

Sleek interiors, difficult maneuverability.
The seating is comfortable and there is enough leg room for all passengers. Built in seat heating and rear air conditioning makes riding in the car enjoyable for any season. The built in Bluetooth works well with the surround sound system in the car. However, it is a heavy car and difficult to maneuver in rain and snow.

Fantastically convenient and powerful.
My 2015 Chrysler 200s is astonishingly convenient! With an almost all digital interface I can maneuver between the dozens of features that my car has to offer in seconds. This car is a strong v6 with an option for sport mode (not that it needs it). Mine is currently sitting at around 110,000 miles and rides just as smoothly as the day I got it. The gas mileage is not too bad I generally get about 24 miles to the gallon. Led headlights make night driving seamless. All led interior lights and a fully digital analog which allows you to switch between things like tire pressure, gas mileage (current and average), and of course the digital speedometer!

Knob to shift instead of stick. Very pretty color.
My car is very reliable. The only issue that it has is that the sensor for the front driver’s side tire is broken. The knob for shifting was a bit difficult to get used to at first, but now a regular stick shift is weird. The seats are very comfortable, and the mileage per gallon is fairly decent.

When I decided it was time to buy a car again, I test drove a few other types but still loved the 200 the most. I got it fully loaded this time around. Dual sunroof, AWD.

But me personally, I haven't really had an issue like that, yet. My car is currently a little over 90k miles.

But it's a nice car to drive if you're not a racer. It drives like a luxury vehicle they can go fast. Not a sport engine. That probably has to do with the trim as well.

Chrysler 200 s - white, interior black and blue.
I had my Chrysler 200 for 4 years now and the battery died. That was the first time I had to replace something serious. Performance on the highway and in the city is fantastic and my gas mileage is pretty great considering I drive 60 miles a day for work. With the right tires it is very reliable in the inter. I have low profile tires since it is an s and I’d say the only issue I have with it is the rims stick out, so it is very easy to scratch rims.

Great car, pretty nice interior and looks sporty, plenty of room and storage. Only problem is that they have had some transmission or electrical problems but for the most part the car has been great for me. The stock sound system is pretty good and cancels noise pretty well. Can get really good gas mileage on the highway if driven normal or on cruise control. In the 2000s, the seats are very nice and sporty with the blue accents which adds just a little more details that are nice to the eye.

I would have to say that the rotary gear selector is a game changer!
I have had my car for about 2+ years now and I would say it is pretty smooth. I love that it is push start and a rotary gear selector. The seats very comfortable and I honestly think it is the perfect for me. I do not feel comfortable driving in any other car but this one. It is a 2015 and I haven’t had any problems with it so far.

What to expect and overall quality of the Chrysler 200 model.
Car electrical shuts down when oil is at 50% or less, so oil changes on time are mandatory. The replacement parts are cheap and reasonable. The quality is good as far as gas price per miles, and style of the car. I would buy again knowing what to expect. Overall I’ll scope the car a 7 out of a10.

2015 Chrysler 200s- great daily driver.
I love the interior of the 2015 Chrysler 200s. Leather seats, easy to clean. The stock rims it came with are nice too. Reliable car, minor problems here and there, more because of wear. Affordable parts when they do end up going bad. Overall a good daily car!

Unsafe expensive lame and really unsafe.
Engine problems jumps gears no sunroof computer does not match the dashboard lights main issue is the gears really jump in the middle of driving safety issues it is unsafe yet expensive and low ratings on blue book I don't know what to do it is depressing.

My true blue Chrysler 200s!
My vehicle has a 6-cylinder engine and is extremely powerful. Handles beautifully, never had any system malfunction or part replacement, fully-loaded features, roomy, durable interior, GPS system, Sirius XM, very large trunk space. It is supremely reliable vehicle, never a hint of trouble starting up. I love it.

It is a great car for a single man or a family, reliable, safe and smooth.
Rides like a dream, very reliable, no major car maintenance, great on gas, only problem I have is that it takes a few seconds for the car to accelerate when going up a hill, or if I am behind a slow car and I have to accelerate past him it will take a few seconds to get the car going.

It is a very sporty, and classic model car.
Sporty, great gas mileage, fun to drive. I am a little disappointed that they do not make this model anymore because it is so classic! I love the commercial that Eminem made for the 200, that is what drew me in to this vehicle. It is a great value as well.

Great small family or starter car.
My Chrysler is by far my favorite car so far. I have had no problems aside from normal maintenance and wear and tear. It seats two car seats comfortably. The only thing I do not like is that it is all electronic and if the computer goes down, the entire dash does as well-radio, air control, even the electronic parking brake.

Great vehicle for it is price.
Fully loaded with tons of features. Heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, backup camera and tons more! Love the upgraded speaker package to get some extra boom when listening to music. I really wanted a 300 but were a little out of our budget range. Saw the 200 I have and after a test drive I changed my mind and wanted it!

Great and reliable small family car. Excellent on gas.
I have had my car for two years now and I have only had minor issues such as brakes and wheel bearings. Occasional transmission slips but nothing major. My brakes, rotors, and wheel bearings are the only thing I have had to change in the last 2 years. I love that I have a backup camera and great ac.

The baseball and football mom car.
It has great pick up. Rides smooth. I wish it had heated seats. I do not have a sunroof either, which I prefer. I am not crazy about the push start - I like a key. I have had no problems with the engine or anything. I do have the oil changed routinely.

2015 Chrysler 200c - Special Review!
My car drives very smoothly and the interior is nearly one of the kind (cream seats and sunroof) so it grabs attention to those who rides along. The car however, requires a lot of electricity and after driving from the dealership the battery lost power completely. Additionally, the tires gets air bubbles frequently, thus it is very hard to find replacement tires and have to get them ordered and shipped to my dealership.

Chrysler 200 reliability.
My 2015 Chrysler 200 works just as it should. It gets over 30 miles per gallon on the highway and well over 20 driving in-town. It has a knob as a shifter and automatic power windows. It does not take too long to warm up in the winter and for the air conditioning to cool down in the summer. I have had this vehicle almost one full year, put on almost 20k miles, and have had no problems yet.

It is a nice reliable vehicle that I am blessed to have.
It is a used car, but it can be considered new. It only has about 110,000 miles. The interior is black and up to date. The seats are cloth and are very comfortable. Gas is expressed in bars. It also does really good on gas. It’ll always crank. The engine has a very nice sound to it. It is a low riding vehicle which a downfall where I am from, so I have to be careful. If something is wrong with anything, I'll get an alert on a screen in front of my wheel. It has enough space for my family.

Uses a lot gas on low roads. But it is good in highway miles. I can fill up and take a 3 hour trip and still have a little under a half a tank.
Gas goes quickly and works best with mid grade. I've used 87 and it started to act like it want to cut off. Smooth driving, and has a lot of space. I haven't had to do too much Maintenance to it do far.

My Chrysler 300 is beyond fast. It has a six cylinder.
I bought this car used. It's in great condition. The pros about this car is IRS beauty. No dents. The inside is clean. IRS fast. I did have to get new tires though. It cost a lot to get four new tires. I could of went the cheap route. I didn't want to have to buy more tires in a couple of months.

I love the features of my vehicle and how fun it is to drive.
I have not had any issues with my vehicle. I do love all the features in my car (heated seats, nav, Bluetooth, Uconnect, of many others) another perk is you can register the speed so that if you go over the speed (i.e.: 4 mph over) the car will notify you what the speed limit is on the road so that you will slow down. That helps with insurance:).

Chrysler 200-not as bad as people say it is!
All things considered, it is a very reliable car. There are probably with the car switching gears, which is apparent when driving, as it stall or “jumps” into the next gear. Other than that, it is been fine for me! Decent mileage in city. Amazing on highway.

Dial shifter is pretty dang awesome.
It is a nice car. Very roomie (at least for two adults and a newborn). It is got a good speaker system and the touch screen radio which is nice. It is got a dial shifter which is really pretty cool and convenient. It also has quite a bit of trunk space (for a folded up stroller.).

Light-colored leather is the only way to go in Sacramento!
Love the white leather interior with the dark red exterior; it's too hot in Sacramento to have a black interior! Love the backup camera! I couldn't live without it now. Sometimes I wish we'd paid more to get the navigation package, but it was ridiculously expensive. Our biggest complaint is that sometimes the car doesn't want to take off, and when it does, it kind of jerks forward. I believe there was a recall on this when the car was new, and it seemed better for a while, but I've noticed this several times lately. Love the roomy interior of the glove compartment, too.

Chrysler 200 2015 car review.
The car drives well. Has good pick up. Very sporty looking and plenty of legroom. The seats are well made and comfortable. Plenty of headroom. Seats are adjustable which is great since I am short I can adjust it higher. I love the keyless entry and the push button start as well as the dial shifter. I use e85 gas and get pretty good gas mileage. I like that I can use regular gas too.
