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.

2015 Chrysler 200 · 111.7 per 10,000 sold (2.5× this model’s typical year)
