The 200C was having serious shifting/slipping issues with that awesome ZF trans. Did not want to deal with it and took a serious bath on trade in value.
Transmission issue caused car to have to be towed in to dealer. Issue happened before recall. Parts replaced but did not fix stuttering issue. Dealer refused to acknowledge stuttering was occuring. Recall for transmission. Car severely stuttering during driving. Dealer refused to endorse this as a serious concern and refused rental while waiting on part availability. Sold car due to fear for family safety.

6000 mi
Never resolved problems with transmission. At the end, it was determined that it was a wiring harness/wiring issue where the wires would chafe, shorting out various control modules in the car. Became a recall.
14000 mi
During first 6 months, had issue with transmission coming out of drive in neutral when taking off from stopped then slamming in - causing car to leap forward. Unknown if trans flash really fixed it. Transmission shifts from 2 to 3 are delayed and abrupt. Jerky and uncertain. Dealer performed transmission flash - no change. Transmission is fine on highway - city driving very disappointing.
22000 mi
Two unresolved issues with these 9 speed transmission after two updates. 2 to 3 upshifts are better but still slams in sometimes. Worst, during 5 to 4 downshifting it ALWAYS accelerates. This is a safety issue. Chrysler advises - "Normal"
19220 mi
The transmision will occasionally jerk/jolt from 4th gear into 5th gear. It didn't act up on the 5 minute test drive so nothing was done.
Transmission would not shift out of 4th gear. Not sure what they did exactly but it was about $3500 worth of warranty work taking about 2 weeks because parts were backordered at Chrysler. Cost to me was $100 for the deductible and the dealer provided a loaner.
7440 mi

Sporadic engagement noise from powertrain.
