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.

My airbag service light came on while driving down a local street with no warning. The car has never been in an accident, I purchased the car new (with 6 miles), I searched if there was a recall for this issue, however, the NHTSA website only site 78 vehicles affected in the recall. I checked and my car was not included. This issue should be resolved for fear the airbags will deploy while simply driving down the highway, or even worse, the airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident.
Takata recall air bag light came on when I started my car. It says service air bag system. I called Chrysler because I seen there was a recall on my kind of vehicle and I was informed that my vehicle was not affected by the recall. But the light remains on.
Car purchased 10/21/2016, 3 months later problems began. 01/16/2016 service air bag light came on and will not go off. Dealer said it is not covered under my extended warranty, for what reason I still don't know. Taken the car to 3 different shops to work on it and I keep being told it is a passenger seat connector, yet I have had this done 3 times now...$500 out of pocket each time, the light is still on as of 11/10/2017. Now the car also has a service engine light on constantly along with this airbag light. As well as of 10/25/2017 my car has began to tell me the engine is running hot while I'm driving, but the thermostat display inside never even gets to half.. so not sure about this now. As well as also telling me to service the electronic throttle control as soon as the overheat sensor goes off. Lastly I was at the gas station the other day and the car wouldn't start, it said the keyfob not detected but it was in my hand! had to google what to do..(which is put nose of keyfob to button and press it that way if happens to anybody else) soo that would be a total of 4 different lights on at this time of 11/10/2017. Enterprise has yet to help me or get back to me on any of these issues. It was a rental car before I bought it from them, obviously they sold me a lemon! as I was getting an oil change on 11/01/17 I had them run codes and it and it read I needed a new thermostat to take care of the engine overheating and the etc light...needless to say this has been a car from hell. I have filed complaints to enterprise about this car repeatedly especially with it all happening so soon after getting the car. I'm stuck with it now so I would love for somebody to know what there doing and actually fix this car!!!
My airbag light has came on after having my oil changed and it won't go off 5/6/2017. Then yesterday 11/6/2017 my car would not start because my battery was dead but I just purchased the car used in March and the battery should be dead after 2 years. My check engine light ended up coming on after having aaa jump start my vehicle and I'm just having issues that I shouldn't be experiencing and I'd think my airbag should still be covered under warranty.

My air bag light randomly came on while driving 20mph in a school zone taking my daughter to school. It went off them randomly came back on again today and hasn't went off. I hope this is a recall because it seems to be a very common problem. When I called T he dealership they informed me that it wasn't an recall and would cost over 200 just to diagnose it!!! my car is a 2015 with only 47,000 miles on it!!
On October 2, 2017, as I was preparing to start the car, I noticed that the bell kept ringing. And when tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. So after sitting in the car for about two minutes, it started, but hesitantly. Also, the air bags warning light had been coming on since last week. I was driving when the warning light for the airbags came on.

Takata recall an air bag light came on in my vehicle for the second time. The first time, it went off after a couple of minutes. This time, it was on for a while. I called into the dealer and Chrysler, confirmed there are no open recalls, but that even at only 41,231 miles this is not covered. In edmunds site, there were recalls of March 2016 for vehicles with the same production date range of my vehicle, however my vehicle wasn't included. As a result, I will need to pay $120 for the diagnostics alone, then for the repair. The light came on as I was driving on a local city street at about 35mph.
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.

I was in a car accident Feb 16 2017. Rear ended by a Ford Expedition. My airbag came on but didn't deploy. I hit my head hard and smoke was coming from the steering wheel. The car locks and unlocks on its own. It slows down to five miles an hour on the highway and then speeds up again. I never know what my life will be like in this [xxx] car. It's not worth anything and I demand all the money I put into it back. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
On may the airbag light started to come on once in a while. But the last 2 months the light does not go away. I took to the dealership and want to charge me $150 to just see it. The vehicle has 50,000 miles the minute I start the vehicle the air bag light comes out and does not go away until the vehicle is turned off. I just afraid that if I have an accident the airbags wont work or they might explode while I'm driving. I need to know what to do.
Takata recall my airbag light has been continuously coming on and off ever since I purchased the car about 3 months ago. I took it back to the place of purchase and was told that something was blocking the sensor under the seat which had been removed and I was told it was fixed but this light is still on. I don't feel safe in this car if I don't know if I have working air bags or not. The sunroof has also malfunction to where it would not open and close by pressing the button I have taken it to be fixed 3 times already. I feel like I am stuck in a death trap waiting to happen.
Ive been havng problems with my vehicle since I first purchased. The car slips gears and takes off and stagger while on highway. Ive made several attempts to have problem fixed by Chrysler. I was told that the transmission doesn't match with software and Chrysler is looking to fix issue in the future. Thecar feels really unsafe. After doing research, I also noticed that this car was sold to me way above price that was offered to others. I also feel that the contract is no longer valid as the car dealership requested a certain amount to pay off my trade in. I later found that the amount was nearly $300 less than the requested amount. I was told that any excess fund will be released to me. Its been over a year and I have yet to receive the refund.
Purchased vehicle 24 April 2017. After approx. 2 weeks the "service airbag system' message and airbag light on panel came on and went off after a few days. Called and spoke with dealership I purchased from and was informed that if it came on again to take it in to get checked. Came on again after another 2 weeks, scheduled appointment and the morning I took it in it went off. Came on again at the end of June which was another 2 weeks later and has been on since. First couple of time came on while driving, last time came on right after car was started. Car will also making a "jerky" acceleration motion while driving on highway and acts like it can't accelerate after coming out of a stop. Makes the "jerky" acceleration motion when pulling into driveway also. Did some research online and saw that others where having the same issues. I haven't had this vehicle a full 4 months.
