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.

The airbag light appeared around 8000 miles. It was taken and supposedly "fixed" by the dealership a multitude of times, and the icon would come back in a week. It turns on both on stationary and in motion.

Purchased this Chrysler 2015 in March 2016. Odometer read 28350. October 2017 hit a bump going to work, airbag warning light turns on. Had a little anxiety but w just the right bumps light would go off for a period of time. This continues until Feb of 2020 when I send the car to my mechanic to have a thermostat housing replaced as well as that dash warning light that comes and goes. Mechanic replaced the thermostat and informs me that the airbag warning is under recall and Chrysler will pay for that. Ok. I make an appt at the Dodge dealership in gresham Oregon and they tell me after a 4 hr diagnostic that the airbag safety harnesses under the driver and passenger seats may not deploy in an accident. That I need to replace as soon as possible. The cost will be $2705. Hello Chrysler"?" this should not be my problem or at least my sole problem.

Service airbag system comes up in my 2015 Chrysler 200 at random times. It comes on when I am driving, at a standstill, in park (if someone enters the passenger seat). Typically it comes on when I have a passenger in the front seat. And at other times with no passenger in the seat and I brake abruptly the light indication comes on. Consumer called the dealer and the dealer stated there was no recall. Vehicle was not repaired.

While driving home from work my 2015 Chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work..and leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons..this needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!

About Dec. 20, 2019 I was surprised to find the air bag warning light on the dash of my 2015 Chrysler 200 when I started it. I went to a mechanic to fix it; but he didn't do that kind of work and recommended another mechanic in a nearby town. I was able to get an appointment yesterday (Feb. 17, 2020). The trouble-code was: B0020-13. He called to get the required parts, and was quoted $1,074 plus 7% tax and labor of $100. He looked on computer and found that both sides of the seat-sensor-harness should be calibrated together. In other words, the price doubles to $2.500.00 for both seat-sensor-harnasses! it is a "safety issue" that needs to be addressed in a car that is only 5 years and 8 months old (the date of manufacture is April 2015). We looked-up the problem online and found recall # 16V114000 which states that if one seat harness needs to be replaced, then, both must be replaced and calibrated as a single unit, thereby doubling the cost! I called Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 with my VIN number and she said that my VIN number is not included (actually, the recall only applies to only 78 vehicles). But after telling her that it was a "safety issue" that I couldn't afford to pay for, she gave me a "goodwill assistance case number". I was told that they "might" help; and to call my Chrysler dealer and give that number to them. I did so and they said they will call me 'soon'. I don't know what to expect.. they don't like to tell you much; but I'm hoping to have it fixed quickly, in the event of a crash that might disable, or kill, me! thank you!

The light to get airbag serviced keeps coming on and going off. It has started stalling randomly while driving or coming to a stop. Noticed that it didn't do it as bad once car was warmed up, but then it dropped power while we were in traffic on a bridge overpass and we had to limp it home. Looked up the warning light meanings and it said we should not drive it as it will either lose power without warning and have to be limped or it will accelerate and we would have no way to stop it. So I have a car that cannot be driven and I had seen that there were recalls for similar problems however, when I put my VIN number in, it said there were no unrepaired recalls for this VIN number. Consumer's husband and son-in-law repaired the vehicle.

The parking brake activates without touching it. I thought I was probably hitting it on accident but I'm no where near it. It's really scary. When I'm slowing down the car will accelerate on its own and the airbag light comes on and off.

Air bag warning light goes off and on, stayed steady last week and a half. Took to dealer because my mechanic said there had been a manufacturer defect, have read numerous reports from other 2015 owners and it is still not handled by the manufacturer. Need it fixed for inspection and now I am going to have to pay. I heard others have had the same happen and then had another issue 3 months out. I'm not even done paying for this car.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to brenham Chrysler Jeep Dodge (located at 1880 highway 290 w, brenham tx 77833, 979-212-8005) where it was diagnosed that the sensor in one of the seats needed to be replaced. The specific seat could not be confirmed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred approximately a week later. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that they replaced the air bag. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Check engine light came on. Had vehicle check and got a code. U1504 implausible message data length received from steering angle sensor. Airbag clockspring needs to be replace because airbad may not doploy during an accident. Was told to contact the dealership to see if there was a recall. There is not at this time. This is a defective part of the saftey system on the car and they do not want to cover it.

Upon starting car' airbag light may or may not be on. Light turns on and off without warning and has been ongoing. Seems to be rough idle' when I place the car in gear it jerks. During normal driving the car stalls causing a safety concern for rear end impact while airbag light may be on that may cause injury or death. This matter should be investigated and corrective measures taken. After reading testimonials about other 2015 Chrysler 200 owners' there obviously is a pattern with safety concerns.
