The Chrysler 200, particularly in its second generation (2015-2017), aimed to offer a more upscale and competitive option in the mid-size sedan market but has a mixed reputation for reliability.

Owners have reported several common issues, including problems with the nine-speed automatic transmission, such as rough shifting and delays in gear engagement, which have been a notable concern. Electrical issues, including malfunctions with the infotainment system and dashboard displays, have also been reported. Additionally, there have been instances of engine stalling and issues with the air conditioning system not performing adequately.

Despite its stylish design, comfortable interior, and advanced safety features, the Chrysler 200’s reliability issues, particularly with its transmission and electrical systems, have affected its overall reputation in the segment. Regular maintenance and software updates, where applicable, can help address some of these concerns, but potential buyers should be aware of these known issues.
