The 2017CHRYSLER200 carries 77 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 4 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 5/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2017 200 is engine with 21 filings, followed by electrical system (13) and power train (9). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 88 investigation files overlapping the 2017 200, and 7 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The car is constantly needs a jump start , and the pedal will not accelerate. I have had multiple diagnosis and they donât know what it is- the cruise control component comes on at the beginning of the jump start until the car runs. Auto Zone and Midas has checked the battery, alternator, did a draw and they canât find the issue. When driving the pedal will not accelerate- may have to pull over, and restart- then it works, until you disengage the car. They charged me over 30,000.00 dollars for this vehicle and Iâm still paying on it and I canât even drive it because I feel unsafe, especially with the pedal. Itâs too cold to get up and jump start a car every morning. Iâm paying 460.54 every month for a car that I donât know thatâs wrong with it- I purchase a warranty and though I didnât hit the mileage they said it expired because it was for three years. This should be illegal. I really need to drive to get things done. Thereâs no lights coming to indicate a problem,

Car shuts off without warning when driving
I have been having trouble with my car for a while where it, most of the time, wonât start on the first try. Iâve been to my dealership multiple times and it just seems as if my car is declining after each session. I canât even remote start my vehicle anymore. There will be times where I am stopped for a period of time and my car will stall and/or glitch out. The Stability Control and Electric Park Brake Trouble Indicators will come on as well as the Anti-lock Brake System Fault and Electric Power Steering Fault Indicatorsâ¦All at the same time. I will be looking around for Auto Shops that I trust but later down the line, if there is no breakthrough, I will buy another vehicle.

For years now, my car has randomly, without notice, stalls, says âShift To Pâ and goes limp. Thereâs nothing I can do in that moment besides try to get to safety before the car stops in the middle of the road. Iâve brought it in multiple times with no change or information as to whatâs causing it. One dealership claimed I just needed an oil change which it didnât but to prove my point, I brought it in after it stalled 2-3 days after an oil change. At this point, thereâs been zero help or care. Itâs only a matter of time until it causes an accident. Other owners definitely have this issue as well since theyâre reported on here too. Any help? Or do all of us just lose money or potentially moreâ¦?
