📖Chrysler 200 II: a stylish modern redesign demanding transmission vigilance

Chrysler 200 II (2015-2017)

With the second-generation 200, Chrysler stepped boldly away from dated underpinnings to create a sleek, contemporary executive saloon based on the Alfa-derived Compact U.S. Wide platform. Aimed at mainstream contenders like the Opel Insignia, it introduced a sculpted silhouette, a premium dashboard layout and available all-wheel drive. Regular Chrysler 200 maintenance is essential to keep its sophisticated electronics and multi-speed driveline operating reliably.

Engine choices spanned the 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir and the potent 295 bhp 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, both mated to an innovative ZF 9-speed automatic gearbox. While the V6 AWD provides impressive cross-country pace and surefooted all-weather traction, early calibration of the 9-speed unit caused shift flare, harsh downshifts and software hunting. Keeping control modules updated with the latest factory software is vital for smooth operation.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Modern platform provides vastly superior torsional rigidity, sharp road manners and composed handling.
  • Strong 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 delivers brisk performance, particularly when paired with the optional AWD system.
  • Well-appointed cabin features intuitive Uconnect infotainment and decent sound deadening on motorway runs.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • ZF 948TE 9-speed gearbox: inspect shift smoothness between 4th and 5th gears and confirm all software updates are applied.
  • AWD Power Transfer Unit (PTU) and rear drive module: check for driveline binding, oil leaks and tyre rolling circumference match.
  • 2.4 Tigershark MultiAir: monitor engine oil consumption closely, as low oil pressure causes sudden MultiAir valve actuator failure.
  • 3.6 V6 Pentastar: inspect the oil filter adapter housing beneath the intake manifold for cracking and coolant pooling.
  • Electric power steering and body electronics: verify battery voltage stability to prevent spurious dash warnings.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Strict engine oil changes every 10,000 km or 12 months using approved viscosity to protect MultiAir actuators and timing gear.
  • Automatic transmission fluid service on the ZF 9-speed every 80,000 km to prevent premature clutch pack glazing.
  • Check that all factory technical service bulletins (TSBs) and recalls for gearbox TCM software have been executed.
