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.

Radio kept shutting off and rebooting. Now it is completely out. It glitches a light that is draining my battery. When driving it jerks like it is stalling to give it gas.
While driving into my parking spot suddenly ABS, awb unavailable, performance shifting unavailable, service airbag, cruise control unavailable, front park sense unavailable, lane sense unavailable, dash lights appeared as my car lost any availability to shift gears, accelerate or decelerate
In the past 3 years the active grille shutter had to be fixed 3 times. The check engine light would always come up for this issue after it was stationary or parked over night and then the light would come up when it was time to drive again. Finally the dealership fixed the the problem they said the transmission needed to be fixed. After the transmission was fixed my car now overheats after being idle for more than a few minutes. Also the passenger air bag sensor was fixed twice but lit up on my dashboard recently again.
Have had car less than a year. Air bag lights constantly come on and I have to get it repaired - light is on while driving and while stopped. Light came in the day I got the car as I was leaving the lot and they refused to do anything for it. Also the car keeps stalling. Had the battery replaced and alternator checked, which is running almost like brand new. The car still stalls while driving it with no warning signs at all. No lights are on it will just happen, again, with no warnings. Everything gets locked up and I can't even put the car in neural to back it out from the middle of the street. The car can barely handle highway speed limit of 70, the bumps or groves in the road almost feel like it's pushing the car and it will spin out (this is in dry warm weather). I've checked the tires they are fine. The entire suspension is bad and needs replaced. The charging systems for your phones don't always work, it's off and on. The chargers work just fine in the house so it's not the cords itself. Was shown the carfax before buying and there are no accident reports.
My son was in a car accident, he went off of the road, and totaled my car, the airbags did not deploy. I bought this car brand new in Jan,2015, and had a couple of recalls to get it fixed for certain parts. Also I was having surge problems with this car.

When I purchase the vehicle the airbag light was on and haven't went off yet and I had the vehicle since September 2020. Also when it rains for a long period of time and I use my wind shield wipers they will not go off I have to take the fuse out for them to stop for a couple of days. I've spoke with the place I got the car from and they started that the warranty doesn't cover the issues that the car previously had before I purchased it within the 30 days I purchase the car as well.
Vehicle, even after repair continues to have front-passenger airbag light. Even after oil levels are changed and maintained, cabin and air filters changed, vehicle continues to stall even after servicing (both paid and under warranty) Chrysler has not resolved the issues that harbor my vehicle and offer no solution. Temp/engine light issue came on during highway travel. Stalling usually occurs on city and residential streets. Both in motion.
Air bag light and check engine light is on also a electrical light comes on it looks like it's saying the engine it to hot but I am not sure exactly it comes on almost right after starting car
My air bag light always comes on. Saying it needs to be serviced every time the front passenger seat is moved. My radio used to shut off while I'm driving and reboot like if im starting the car.. now it doesn't turn on at all. It just glitches. Since I got the car when I go to switch gears the car will switch gears hard. Like if something is wrong with the transmission.
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.
I had the car only 1year and half air bag light went on cause me 1800 dollars to fix, im only driving local. The other one is jerking trans twice to fix replace part cost 100.
System lost power a spark while sitting with car. Car. Thank shut down 5 minutes how to car dealer service to review to determine the issue return with a diagnosis after the expansion diagnose engine warning light diagnosed check engine warning light caused by loss of communication and put shield exposed connector found corrosion moisture in connectors
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.
