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.

I've only had the car 7-8 months. Got in it on August 17, 2017 and started it, a warning came on to have my arebags serviced. Checked owners manuel and it advised that the airbag system was maintenance free. Called dealership and was told no recall.

Air bag warning light turned on every time the car started. I took it to prestige Chrysler and Dodge to see about it. While waiting on my ride to the enterprise there were other customers with the same complaint. After 2.5 days of waiting the vehicle was ready. I had to ask what the diagnosis /prognosis was and per devon my service advisor told me that there was something loose underneath the driver seat that caused the warning light lit. The part was replaced.

The airbag service light came on I took it in to where I bought it and they said they had to reset it. It went off and 2 days later it came back on and never went off.. now it stays on. I was told there is no recall for my car. The transmission jolts when going from 2nd into 3rdwhile driving also. And my middle console the controls air and sound works when it feels like it.

The airbag system service warning indicator light on the dash board came on. I took the vehicle to the dealership service center to learn that a faulty passenger side seat sensor was the cause of the warning light (not covered under warranty and not included in any applicable recall). However, I later conducted research online and found that similar 2015 Chrysler 200S have been recalled for this exact same issue (apparently my VIN number [xxx] was not included in the recall). This warning light came on at approximately 60,000 miles and no previous issues we're noticed with the airbag system. Although the light first came on intermittent... it now remains on constantly. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The passenger airbag alarm stays on and interrupts the info on the dash. The radio has turned up on its own and would not turn off even when the car was turned off and door opened. The engine constantly stalls especially when making a hard or fast turn or when braking hard. Sometimes jt cuts off when idling. It is always hard to get restarted, and requires several minutes of trying. The radio problems happen when stationary. The airbag light us constant during stationary and movement. The engine stalls happen mostly when deceleration or hard turns or braking. Sometimes a red light with lightenjng bolt appears on dash and the car will ride very rough until turned off and turned back

The engine light continues to remain on while in drive mode the gear shifts remain to move accordingly #1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8 the transmission is starting to slip while in driving mode and that the airbags system is continued to blink on and off these are some of the bad defects that's happening as of now I'm afraid of really driving these vehicle due to faulty systems that may be more than a issue the problems started when in parking and drive mode.

The engine light came on and never went out and that the airbag service systems keep on coming on the my car sometimes speed and then it will not accelerate beyond 45 miles it seems that the car engine is ready to go out at anytime or moment while driving the gear shift is jumping from #1, #2#3#4#5#6 also temp for the outside of the vehicle has been messing up along with the time. I'm not sure what else would happen if I continue to drive it. The car may cause problems later on while driving I don't have any warranty on this vehicle to be repaired and that I have read the recall of all chrylser vehicles from 2010-17 these are the same exact problems that I'm having the parking lights and engine light had came on during parking and stayed on till I left work on the 04/28/17 and 04/29/2017 it also has started to jerking a few weeks ago till now also. I'm afraid to drive it because I just may have a wreck while driving this vehicle. I'm not really as to what is happening with the vehicle.

Vehicle has about 36000 miles and the service airbag light continually comes on. Took it to a dealer and it isn't covered under warranty, and no recall. $89 fix. I'll be calling for a better price, but this is a safety issue nonetheless. Thank you for your time. The light comes on weather I'm moving or stationary.

Constant "bing" and air bag warning while the vehicle is in motion or idling at a stop. Used direction arrows to remove the words of air bag needs service to speedometer readings, but goes back to bing again. I looked at the owners manual and it says it's supposed to be maintenance free...
