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.

A notification to 'service air bags' shows up on my dashboard constantly. Have only had the car for about 8 months and I do not use it that much. It has about 51,000 miles. Read online that there was a recall (Chrysler recall # S09) but have been told that my car was not included but my car is experiencing the exact problem described.

I purchased this vehicle used at 61708. I'll say a week into me driving it off the lot the airbag light will occasionally pop on. I thought because one day I forgot to put my gas cap on but even after it will randomly pop up. I got services done to my vehicle 02/07/18. It is now the 13th of February and airbag warning has popped up.

My Chrysler 200 had been recalled mid 2015 for a glitch in their computer system that required all Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Fiat vehicles with the 8.4 screen to have a chip sent out and installed by self to update and instill security to those cars. In January of 2016 I was involved in a collision in my Chrysler 200. My entire front end was knocked off as I was awaiting a turn in a center lane on a city street. My engine dropped and all fluids were expelled from this vehicle, my air bags did not deploy. When I called concerned about it I was told that my vehicle was tested with a hand device in a junk yard and that I had not been hit hard enough or in the right place for them to deploy. I could not believe due to the force and damage done but was still told by a Chrysler representative that there was no malfunction with the air bags. The car was a total loss but was resold to a dealership in cincinnati, oh and put up for sale. I am still receiving notifications about the car due to uconnect and is very concerned about this same vehicle being sold and put on the road.

On December 31, 2017 my wife and I were on our way homefrom church when the seat belt light came on. We read the owners manual, not able to do anything cause of the holidays. On January 2, 2018 I called the Chrysler dealer near me and set up an appointment to have it checked out. Later that day the service man called and said it was the air bag on the passenger seat and a short wire harness, the cost would be about $800 which I spent $127 to have it checked out. I did not have it repaired because I feel this is a Chrysler problem. At this time our air bags don't work. I feel this is a safety issue that Chrysler should be responsible for. This dealer told me that they have had a number of service calls of this same problem. I also called two other dealer, and they told me they have had many issues of the same problem. They all stock replacement parts so this must be an a serious issue. The dealer called our extended warranty co. And it was not covered. I called Chrysler and never got a return call after she hung up on me. So at this time this is why I am writing you.

Takata recall February 2017, I was sitting in the driveway of my moms house when I hear a ringing noise in my car, the car wasn't moving; it was turned on and parked. It appeared on my dash and said service air bag sensor. The light stayed on and never went off. I called the dealership and they told me there was no recall on it so there was nothing they could do for me unless I paid the $200 to get it looked at and fixed. A friend of ours drove our car and ended up getting into an accident. He rear ended a police officer and the air bags never deployed, prior to the accident, the sensor light was already on. Which is a major concern for me. The whole front end of my car was damaged and needs completely repaired along with the other vehicles rear end.

The "service air bag system" constantly comes on and off. Some times it stays on for days. Sometimes it just constantly turns on and off continually dinging. Its very frustrating. It doesn't matter if I am idle, or driving. There is no rhyme or reason to when it turns on and off. I have had it serviced at the dealer 3 times now. They tell me its just a sensor or wiring but it still continues to happen. I bought the car in may and this is December and I am still dealing with this all the time.

On November 29, 2017 at approximately 5:15 pm, was driving approximately 25mph in traffic on a two lane. I hit the brake to stop, no brakes, and I hit the person in front of me. After hitting them, I bounced off and continued to move with no brakes. My airbags did not deploy and I sustained injuries to me chest, neck, head and back. I was able to steer the car in the right side lane and eventually was able to steer into a parking lot; still with no brakes. I looked down to pull up the emergency brake and saw the shifter in neutral. I then put the shifter in park and the car finally stopped. I do not yet have the police report. I did not receive a ticket, but was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
