CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Chrysler 200 carries the torch of "never buy the 1st year of a new vehicle generation" with pride.

The 2015 model year is the first year of the Chrysler 200's 2nd generation. It has been plagued by problems from the start. Transmission failure at extremely low mileage, many recalls, problems stalling while driving... the list goes on. Maybe Chrysler should have stuck with the 1st generation.

My air quit working and the air bag light has been on for a year. I have taken my car to several places and cannot find whats wrong with the air bag light that will not go off. I have bought a control moduler for the blowing air which I was directed to buy by a part dealership and still nothing. I am worried that my air bags do not work properly and also it is winter and no hot air still after buying a three hundred dollar piece plus the price of the mechanic for putting it in.

At times, but it's happened at least 12 in the past 10 months, there is away that a person can sit in the passenger side seat or sometimes by adjusting it that will make the airbag light come on. All I have to do is reach underneath the seat and jiggle the wires a little and it goes off. It occurs at different times.

First I received the wheel sensor warning. Then the air bag warning. Then a vape leak issue, and now my dash lights are going completely out making it impossible to detect speed. My car has approximately 140,000. My vehicle is in motion when this electrical issue occurs. I have been on both a highway and interstate, and driving straight during the blackout. It has occurred multiple times in the last few days. The electrical issue may be related to this recall: Chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured January 7, 2014, to September 23, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a power distribution center (pdc) electrical connector that may cause intermittent power failures to certain electrical components.

My airbag light continues to come on stating that I need to service my airbag system. It will stay on for awhile, and then shut off for approx 2-4 weeks, and then turn back on again. Today I was driving my car, and when I got to a stop sign my car kind of sputtered, and then turned off stating I need to put my car in park, and push the start button. This seems to happen when my car says "oil change required". pretty scary, because I don't know if this will happen when im driving on the highway.

The air bag light service indicator light would come on intermittently along with an alarm sounding every few minutes while driving one week after purchasing the car. We took it to the dealership and they 'fixed' the connection only to have the airbag indicator light come on again. Took it to a different dealership who said the wiring and airbag jumpers need to be replaced at a cost of $3200 or the airbags won't work.

My car tries to accelerate when coming to a stop. It randomly loses power. Does fine on highways so far. It only has issues when it involved gears shifting. I took it to a shop and they said it was dangerous to drive. They said it was not a transmission issue like the dealership shop said. It was a waiting issue. Likely associated with the recall I've had this shop "fix" twice.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that at start-up, the air bags warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle failed to recognize that the seat belt was engaged which caused a seat belt warning message to display on the instrument panel. The contact contacted the independent mechanic who sold her the vehicle and was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to a local dealer for assistance. The contact then reached out to landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (6850 mt zion blvd, morrow, ga 30260) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V114000(air bags, seats). The contact was provided an estimate for the repairs. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 93,233.

I am writing in to notify you that Chrysler recall P43 should apply to my vehicle. I have intermittent functionality loss in the driver door due to what the dealership told me is a short in the driver door wiring harness. They couldn't find the short visually, but know its there from a multi meter test reading. They wanted over 500 dollars to replace this door harness and I truly believe it should be replaced as part of the Chrysler P43 recall. This recall only applys to 8 "known" Chrysler 200 LX models but who is to say the defect couldn't be present in more? it has presented itself obliviously in my car. The dealership told me failing to replace this harness will result in further electrical failure including airbag mis-operation, . it does not seem right that this recall doesn't apply to my vehicle.

  • 90,000 miles
On multiple occasions since I purchased my vehicle in 1/2018 I've experienced issues. When putting the vehicle in drive it wants to stall as soon as I press the gas and putters along until it gets enough energy and when trying to gain speed the vehicle doesn't have enough juice to go such as getting on the highway, I normally have to drive in the medium to get enough speed to move into the traffic otherwise I'm bound to get rear ended. The slightest bump in the road causes my airbag light and notification to come on. While pulling away from stop signs and traffic lights the vehicle turns off and takes about 5-10 minutes to start back up, unable to move steering wheel to move vehicle out of traffic. Lights on the inside ( dash, radio) dim extremely low during daylight unable to see anything. I've left my vehicle with a Chrysler dealership for 2 weeks to get a diagnostic and they couldn't replicate or find anything wrong and still charged me. When the problems persisted and were more noticeable and more often they charged me again with no results. Now the check engine light is on and vehicle just staggers instead of gaining speed.
