Brake wear on other 200 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (10 reports) and the caliper (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the brakes covers the 2015 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 10,690 and 70,100 miles, from the 79 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 3 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Chrysler 200 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Front Brake Moan Noise While Stopping In Reverse.
Rear Brake Squeal Noise In Reverse This bulletin involves replacing the rear brake pads. The customer may describe a squeal noise from the rear brakes. Noise is only present during the first few brake applies in reverse.
Front Brake Moan Noise While Stopping In Reverse. This bulletin involves replacing the front rotors and brake caliper adaptor bolts to correct a brake moan condition.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 15 of 111 reports involved a crash and 10 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
