What 1,983 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Chrysler 200

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. *TR

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.*DT CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.*JB*DT

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 $1,074.00 PLUS 7% TAX AND LABOR OF $100.00. 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.*DT CONSUMER'S HUSBAND AND SON-IN-LAW REPAIRED THE VEHICLE.*JB

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.

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.

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. FIRST, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREETS, THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. SECOND DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE MY CAR WAS HAVING, KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, REPAIRED THE ISSUE.SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS BECAUSE MY AIRBAG ALERT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE, SOMEONE HAD KICKED THE WIRING LOOSE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT.THEN I HAD IT TOWED IN BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT .NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION CAME ON, I STILL ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK,BUT WHEN I WENT BACK OUT FOR LUNCH, IT WOULDN'T START. ROADSIDE JUMPSTARTED IT, AND IT STARTED. WENT BACK OUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START... HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS GETTING OUT, THE DASH LIT UP AS AND KEPT BEEPING AS IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING, SO I ACTUALLY HAD TO PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF , WEIRD, RIGHT! BUT THEN AS I'M WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR, IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AS IF I WAS TRYING TO REMOTE START IT. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY'RE DIAGNOSTIC EXPLANATION FOR MY CAR - MY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE DOESN'T WORK, AND I NEED A NEW BATTERY, AND YES MY DOOR PANEL HAD SOME FAULTY WIRES AND THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO PAY FOR. WHEN I TURN MY CAR TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. MY TIRES SLIDE WHEN IT'S RAINING, EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED NEW ONES. ALSO, MY CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN BEYOND FUNCTIONING. I DRIVE 17 MILES TO AND FROM WORK, AND I HAVE TO TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S FREEZING SOMETIMES. IT'S SAD TO KNOW I PURCHASED A LEMON AND THAT THEY CANNOT BE HONEST ABOUT THEIR RECALLS AND MAKING SURE MY SAFETY COMES BEFORE THEIR NEGLIGENCE., AND STOP TRYING TO COVERUP THEIR SCREWUPS IN MANUFACTURING A TOTAL LEMON.
