I want to see where my 200 can take me in terms of mileage before trans/engine drop...
I currently have 45k on my 2014 200, want at least 150k.
Any high mileage 200's out there?

I am at 89K miles right now on my 15.

I would expect ~300K out of it (but I won't take it that far), obviously replacing parts here and there that WILL wear out ex - muffler, alternator, starter, multiple batteries etc...

My 1998 Dakota just turned 200K miles this month, actually low miles for the year. Still running strong as an Ox, no smoke, good compression etc...

I'm at 98.5k miles now on my 15 (built in July of 14). Had I not been furloughed, I would hit 100k by end of month due to long drive to and from work. Having spark plugs changed beginning of February and fully expect another 100k miles on this car. Will admit would be nice if it does well beyond 200k.

I'm sick of car payments and owing a bank money. Just going to fix this car when it breaks down.

For the OP, check your owners manual, the older version of the 200 I believe require transmission fluid changes. Keep up with the maintenance and it should last you the 150k miles.

We have a 2011 Avenger, which is a close cousin to the 11-14 200's. We have nearly 110,000 miles. Pentastar V6 has been flawless, the transmission can be a bit clunky at times, but too has never required a repair. Minor repairs have been an alternator and front wheel bearings. Change the transmission fluid often - 150k easy.

Bought my 2011 a few months ago at 95K miles. Carfax clean. Have 103K miles now, not a single failure that I know of.
My wife bought a 2012 new and has 74K miles on hers. Only issues have been intermittent P0401 code for evap leak; at 7K miles the fuel gauge had a bad ground in the dash that caused temporary empty readings; and the recirc motor failed in the vent box.

Welcome to the forum! What year, engine and trim level is your 200?

Just hit 100K.

I still have my original rear pads and rotors on the car. I "upgraded" the front ones, but have the original ones in-tact in my garage, they are not even 50% worn. I am a moderate driver leaning towards "spirited" driving.

My observation is that Chrysler fixed the brake issues that the 1st gen had (both mine did) - premature wear, squeaking in reverse etc...

I had multiple issues with ignition coils. All my coil problems are because I didn't change the plugs soon enough, the manual said change them at 100K and I waited to 100K miles. Mistake.

One fuel injector failed at 100K miles. I replaced it myself.

My PTU went out several times, replaced under warranty. Driveshaft and rear axle also failed once and were replaced under warranty.

My radiator also sprung a leak. I replaced that myself - recently.

My PTU is going out again now that it's out of warranty - I pulled the PTU fuse and have been driving it around as a FWD 200 for the time being. At least it's getting better fuel mileage. When I do the repair, I will post pictures etc...

Doing a web search for "PTU failed", surprisingly, almost every result is for Ford, I think there's even a class action lawsuit.

Currently at 139k + with only brake replacements and a faulty traction control sensor I haven't got looked at yet. Ty everyone for posts I was worried how much more life my car had in it. I still owe over a year of payments and I'm a lyft driver putting 40k plus miles on it a year so was getting scarred it would crap out before pay off

I have 160,000 on my 2011 and it's as good as it was when I bought it at 38,000. And, because yours is under 50k, you can opt for Chrysler's lifetime warranty...you can shop the prices from one dealership to another and probably get it for 2000 - 3000 dollars. Worth it if you plan on driving the wheels off it.
Best wishes.

I currently have a 2015 Chrysler 200 limited (got it brand new) with 139,300 miles on it. No major issues. Changed small things like, spark plugs(1x), rotors(1x), brakes, tires, oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, headlights(1x), windshield wipers and a battery(1x). Nothing too crazy. Transmission still shifts smoothly. Mostly highway miles.
