2015 Chrysler 200 — 2.4L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 200 2.4L. Covers both the standard and High Output 2.4L.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine 2.4LTransmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2015 Chrysler 200 2.4L is a passenger car built on Chrysler's UF platform, powered by a 2.4-liter engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and EPA-rated at 23 city/36 highway/27 combined mpg. Routine service calls for 5.5 quarts of 0W-20 API engine oil. In the 2010–2018 model run, the 2015 model year stands out as the most complained-about by owners, with 1,983 complaints—far above the 2018 model's single complaint—while power-train issues ranked as the top concern and eight recalls were issued. That concentration of owner-reported problems makes the 2015 200 a model year that researchers and used-car buyers should scrutinize carefully before any purchase decision.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Every 10,000 mi	Battery (inspect) · Brake System (inspect) · Engine Coolant System (inspect fluid level) · Engine Coolant System Hoses (inspect) · Engine Oil (drain & refill) · Engine Oil Filter (replace)

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 recorded 1,983 complaints, 8 recalls, 1 investigation and 531 TSBs, markedly higher than the preceding years (2010‑2014) which ranged from 13 to 638 complaints and 0‑5 recalls. This peak represents a sharp increase from the 192 complaints and 1 recall in 2014 and a subsequent decline to 342 complaints and 2 recalls in 2016. Across the generation, complaint volumes rose steadily from 2010 to 2013, fell in 2014, surged again in 2015, then dropped dramatically each year through 2018. The 2015 model year thus sits at the apex of the complaint and recall arc for this generation. Consequently, based solely on the federal record, the 2015 Chrysler 200 presents a higher likelihood of reported issues and is therefore a less attractive choice for a used‑car purchase compared with adjacent model years.
