THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN SHOWING SINCE 2017 -2018 "SERVICE AIRBAB SYSTEEM WITH THE RED AIRBAG SIGN LIT. THE SIGN COMES AND GOES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND NOT CORRECTED. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CALLED AT THE 18008531403 NUMBER. NOW THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS 2,OOO MILES OVER WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE BUILD DATE OF THIS VEHICLE IS AUGUST 18, 2015. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SAME ISSUE FOR BUILD DATES APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015. THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THIS CAR WAS BUIILT DURING THE TIME . A RECALL IS NECESSARY ON THESE CARS TOO! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. THE COST SHOULD BE BORN BY CHRYSLER.

EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY CHRYSLER 200 NOV 28, 2017BTHE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING SHORT DRIVE TO THE MOVIES, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL. THEN A MONTH AGO, 06/27/2018 ANOTHER IGNITION COIL FAILED COSTING ME $250, LUCKILY WHEN THE COIL FAILED I WAS IN LINE AT A STARBUCK'S DRIVETHRU. NOW ANOTHER COIL HAS FAILED LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AGAIN, AND NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS PART AND AFTER RECENTLY READING REVIEWS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CALLED OUT, YET THIS VEHICLE IS STILL BE SOLD TO PEOPLE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE IN THIS LAST INCIDENT MY COIL WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING A HEAT ADVISORY. I ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PART THE IGNITION COILS ARE FAULTY AND ARE CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN.
