2015 200 Limited purchased in 09/2014, ~5700 miles when first incident happened
Back on June 12 around 8pm, I was driving down the highway going about 55mph when my car just completely shut off while in the left lane. No indicators of it happening, just driving at one point then pushing the accelerator did nothing and then I got the beeps and message to put the car in park so I could start it again. Almost got hit twice, I was stuck in the left lane bringing it to a stop and it failed to start 3 times. Just revved for about 10 seconds, failed, rinse and repeat. It finally started on the fourth time and I was thankfully able to get home. It did not start at all for the rest of the night.
Called the dealer the next morning, got roadside to pick up the still dead car, got to the dealer and while taking it off the tow truck it actually started. Dealer looked at it for about 5-6 days, said it was fine and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I should also say it was serviced for the recall back when I got my oil changed a few months before this. I got it back and it never gave that same satisfying start up noise when pushing the button, it sounded shallow like it wasn't fully firing up.
Then on June 29, I was in school for a few hours, came out to the lot and the car would not start. I called roadside, they towed it to the dealer again and it has been there ever since. They said it was part of the transmission, had a special tech come in and take it apart, then wound up ordering a new transmission. While test driving the car in their lot, it broke down again with a brand new tranny in it, now they say its the electronic shifter and the part is backordered.
I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue, and how it was resolved. I've been in contact with the dealer and with Chrysler, both have been telling me to talk to each other so I'm stuck in a loop right now. In NJ, I am within the Lemon Law requirements to start the process but I would really rather not as I am leaving for school in 6 weeks and want it resolved in the fastest way possible. I don't feel comfortable in this car anymore and want a replacement, has anyone had luck with this and what way did you go about it?
