Chrysler 200 models recalled over parking woes
Chrysler is recalling nearly 26,000 of its 2015 200 sedans after customers reported that cars aren't shifting into park. Only vehicles equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 are affected by the recall, which includes both front-drive and all-wheel-drive models (which could represent as much as 20 percent of the recalled vehicles).
The roughly 26,000 vehicles were built between March 17, 2014 and September 20, 2014. As for where those vehicles can be found, 22,107 were sold in the United States. The remaining vehicles went to Canada and Mexico, with 3,600 in the former and 213 in the latter.

Chrysler is blaming the recall on "inconsistent assembly procedures" at a supplier's factory, and will replace the transmissions of any vehicles affected by the defect. Owners of V6-powered 200s are being told to use their parking brake in addition to shifting into park. Although five incidents have been reported, FCA isn't aware of any injuries or accidents.

February 26, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a recall of certain model-year 2015 cars to resolve manufacturing issues that may prevent the vehicles from shifting into park.
Inconsistent assembly procedures at a supplier's plant have been linked to five reports involving customers who could not shift their vehicles into park. Without park, a vehicle may be subject to inadvertent movement.
FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.
The campaign is limited to the Chrysler 200 equipped with a V-6 engine. There are an estimated 22,107 in the U.S.; 3,600 in Canada and 213 in Mexico.
Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. FCA US dealers will inspect and, if required, replace transmissions at no charge. In the interim, customers who own models with V-6 engines are advised to activate the vehicle's parking brake before shutting off its engine, because the shifter may incorrectly indicate park is engaged.

Not to say Chrysler doesn't have their share of problems. But after doing some research and finding out that all manufacturers have transmission issues. Not sure if anyone can say the manufacturer of their choice is realistically higher quality. Even Toyota not long ago recalled well over 600,000 Siena's for the same issue of not staying parked.
I've driven a 200S and it didn't seem to have any issues staying in 9th out on the highway, which is about the only time you should ever use that gear. My girlfriend has a Trailhawk and it's a bit different story. The road needs to be LEVEL or declined, although we still get the rated 25mpg highway with 4 people in the vehicle. Sometimes I wonder if it would not have gotten better mileage with the added power of the 3.6L, allowing it use 9th more often.
Really? I'm sure being able to shift to Park is something an automaker should know how to do without issue nowadays...
