What owners wrote
I purchased a chrysler 200 limited in march 2011. On several occasions, the transmission has jerked really violently in between gears (first to second and second to third), made a loud popping noise while driving slow. The first time this has happened, I thought that something hit the car. I have since taken my 200 to the warranty service center here and they said they could not find anything wrong.
When driving my 200 if I am entering traffic and have to increase speed (go above 3000 rpms) it will hesitate with no increase in speed before jolting into the next gear. It will do this at any time, from a complete stop or while driving at 45MPH and needing to pick up speed to avoid an accident too. Ive almost been hit several times, so now im the annoying person who waits to go until no other cars are approaching. I always warm up my cars before driving and this car will try to die multiple times for no reason.
