I FEEL STRONGLY THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AIR BAG ISSUES. A DASHBOARD MESSAGE STATING SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM APPEARS THEN THEN DISAPPEARS FROM MY DASHBOARD. IT STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OFF FOR A COUPLE DAYS. A 2015 CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING AIR BAG ISSUES. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT MY AIR BAGS WILL ACTUALLY WORK.

TRANSMISSION MAKES HARD SHIFTS. IT IS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS THE 3.6 V6. HARD SHIFTS COME AT ANY SPEED. BETWEEN I THINK 3RD AND 6TH GEAR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR ARE CASUALLY DRIVING OR PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP FAST. IT IS A JOLT THAT YOU NEVER EXPECT. WE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ONCE. THEY SAID THEY HAD DONE AN UPDATE AND IT SEEMED BETTER. NOW IT IS OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN RATHER FREQUENTLY. LIKE 3-4 TIMES A DAY. UNSURE WHAT TO DO. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT. FEELS SCARY. USUALLY GOING STRAIGHT PROBABLY BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. I SELECTED DATE BELOW. BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES.
