2017 Chrysler 200 — 2.4L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 200 2.4L. Covers both the standard and High Output 2.4L.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine 2.4LTransmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2017 Chrysler 200 is a passenger‑car built on the UF platform and powered by a 2.4‑liter engine paired with a nine‑speed automatic transmission, using 5.5 qt of 0W‑20 oil and achieving an EPA rating of 23 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 27 mpg combined. Across its 2010‑2018 production span the model’s complaint volume peaked in 2015 with 1,983 reports, then fell dramatically to a single complaint in 2018, and the 2017 year recorded just 43 owner complaints—most of which centered on the engine—and only one recall. This modest complaint count places the 2017 iteration toward the lower‑end of the model’s reliability curve, indicating a relatively stable year within an otherwise variable history.

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.

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 2017 Chrysler 200 sits at the end of a generation that saw a dramatic spike in complaints and recalls with the redesigned 2015 model (1,983 complaints, 8 recalls), followed by a sharp decline in 2016 (342 complaints, 2 recalls) and a further drop to just 43 complaints and 1 recall in 2017. This downward trend in reported issues continues into 2018, where only 1 complaint and 0 recalls are recorded, indicating that the final model years benefited from refinements after the 2015 relaunch. The 2017 model’s top complaint areas are engine-related (8 complaints) and a combination of power train, electrical, and engine issues (3 complaints), but these figures are minimal compared to earlier years. With zero investigations, only 2 crash-related complaints, and no fire complaints, the 2017 Chrysler 200 represents the most trouble-free year in the federal record, making it a strong candidate for a used purchase.
