The best and worst Chrysler 200 years, by the numbers
Short answer: among Chrysler 200s old enough to judge (2011–2018), the 2014 and 2017–2018 have the fewest owner complaints per 10,000 sold. The 2015 has the most.
We counted every owner complaint filed with the federal government (NHTSA) for each model year and divided by how many were sold that year, so a year that sold more doesn’t look worse just for being popular. Years newer than 2018 are shown but not ranked — they haven’t been on the road long enough. How this is calculated.
Years with the most complaints
2015 Chrysler 200 · 111.7 per 10,000 sold (2.5× this model’s typical year)
Most-reported: Body control and other modules, typically around 52,000 miles; then harsh, delayed or erratic shifting.
Years with the fewest complaints
2014 Chrysler 200 · 16.4 per 10,000 sold (0.4× this model’s typical year)
Most-reported, even so: Airbags, seatbelts and restraints, typically around 54,000 miles.
2017 Chrysler 200 · 23.3 per 10,000 sold (0.5× this model’s typical year)
Most-reported, even so: Body control and other modules, typically around 44,000 miles.
2018 Chrysler 200 · 9.6 per 10,000 sold (0.2× this model’s typical year)
Most-reported, even so: Airbags, seatbelts and restraints, typically around 85,000 miles.
Every year: complaints per 10,000 sold
Typical Chrysler 200 year: 44.9 per 10,000 sold.
Complaints are counted once each, even when an owner lists several parts. Sales are US units sold in the calendar year, a close stand-in for the model year.
