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.

Service airbag system light continues to come on every time I get it fixed comes on as soon as I increase speed or hit a bump in the road. I've gotten it fixed atleast 4times already.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that at start-up, the air bags warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle failed to recognize that the seat belt was engaged which caused a seat belt warning message to display on the instrument panel. The contact contacted the independent mechanic who sold her the vehicle and was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to a local dealer for assistance.

I am writing in to notify you that Chrysler recall P43 should apply to my vehicle. I have intermittent functionality loss in the driver door due to what the dealership told me is a short in the driver door wiring harness. They couldn't find the short visually, but know its there from a multi meter test reading. They wanted over 500 dollars to replace this door harness and I truly believe it should be replaced as part of the Chrysler P43 recall. This recall only applys to 8 "known" Chrysler 200 LX models but who is to say the defect couldn't be present in more? it has presented itself obliviously in my car. The dealership told me failing to replace this harness will result in further electrical failure including airbag mis-operation, . it does not seem right that this recall doesn't apply to my vehicle.

For starters when entering my car it doesn't detect the key I've changed the battery in the fob and car as well I have to sit for sometimes 10 min it will start but message key fob not detected displays the entire time I'm driving. Then it also flashes seat belt, air bags and brakes I've enclosed some pictures as well. It's never don this I don't don't think it's issue with my air bags or brakes but seem electrical I'm not sure but please help me figure it out
On multiple occasions since I purchased my vehicle in 1/2018 I've experienced issues. When putting the vehicle in drive it wants to stall as soon as I press the gas and putters along until it gets enough energy and when trying to gain speed the vehicle doesn't have enough juice to go such as getting on the highway, I normally have to drive in the medium to get enough speed to move into the traffic otherwise I'm bound to get rear ended. The slightest bump in the road causes my airbag light and notification to come on. While pulling away from stop signs and traffic lights the vehicle turns off and takes about 5-10 minutes to start back up, unable to move steering wheel to move vehicle out of traffic. Lights on the inside ( dash, radio) dim extremely low during daylight unable to see anything. I've left my vehicle with a Chrysler dealership for 2 weeks to get a diagnostic and they couldn't replicate or find anything wrong and still charged me. When the problems persisted and were more noticeable and more often they charged me again with no results. Now the check engine light is on and vehicle just staggers instead of gaining speed.
The airbag light appeared around 8000 miles. It was taken and supposedly "fixed" by the dealership a multitude of times, and the icon would come back in a week. It turns on both on stationary and in motion.
Purchased this Chrysler 2015 in March 2016. Odometer read 28350. October 2017 hit a bump going to work, airbag warning light turns on. Had a little anxiety but w just the right bumps light would go off for a period of time. This continues until Feb of 2020 when I send the car to my mechanic to have a thermostat housing replaced as well as that dash warning light that comes and goes. Mechanic replaced the thermostat and informs me that the airbag warning is under recall and Chrysler will pay for that. Ok. I make an appt at the Dodge dealership in gresham Oregon and they tell me after a 4 hr diagnostic that the airbag safety harnesses under the driver and passenger seats may not deploy in an accident. That I need to replace as soon as possible. The cost will be $2705. Hello Chrysler"?" this should not be my problem or at least my sole problem.

Service airbag system comes up in my 2015 Chrysler 200 at random times. It comes on when I am driving, at a standstill, in park (if someone enters the passenger seat). Typically it comes on when I have a passenger in the front seat. And at other times with no passenger in the seat and I brake abruptly the light indication comes on. Consumer called the dealer and the dealer stated there was no recall. Vehicle was not repaired.
While driving home from work my 2015 Chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work..and leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons..this needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!
About Dec. 20, 2019 I was surprised to find the air bag warning light on the dash of my 2015 Chrysler 200 when I started it. I went to a mechanic to fix it; but he didn't do that kind of work and recommended another mechanic in a nearby town. I was able to get an appointment yesterday (Feb. 17, 2020). The trouble-code was: B0020-13. He called to get the required parts, and was quoted $1,074 plus 7% tax and labor of $100. He looked on computer and found that both sides of the seat-sensor-harness should be calibrated together. In other words, the price doubles to $2.500.00 for both seat-sensor-harnasses! it is a "safety issue" that needs to be addressed in a car that is only 5 years and 8 months old (the date of manufacture is April 2015). We looked-up the problem online and found recall # 16V114000 which states that if one seat harness needs to be replaced, then, both must be replaced and calibrated as a single unit, thereby doubling the cost! I called Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 with my VIN number and she said that my VIN number is not included (actually, the recall only applies to only 78 vehicles). But after telling her that it was a "safety issue" that I couldn't afford to pay for, she gave me a "goodwill assistance case number". I was told that they "might" help; and to call my Chrysler dealer and give that number to them. I did so and they said they will call me 'soon'. I don't know what to expect.. they don't like to tell you much; but I'm hoping to have it fixed quickly, in the event of a crash that might disable, or kill, me! thank you!
My car was in an accident and the airbags only came out on the passenger side and the driver side not the front none of the airbags came out at the front of the dash board
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to kim's no bull located at 1030 ms-15, laurel, ms 39440, (601) 425-4701, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
The light to get airbag serviced keeps coming on and going off. It has started stalling randomly while driving or coming to a stop. Noticed that it didn't do it as bad once car was warmed up, but then it dropped power while we were in traffic on a bridge overpass and we had to limp it home. Looked up the warning light meanings and it said we should not drive it as it will either lose power without warning and have to be limped or it will accelerate and we would have no way to stop it. So I have a car that cannot be driven and I had seen that there were recalls for similar problems however, when I put my VIN number in, it said there were no unrepaired recalls for this VIN number. Consumer's husband and son-in-law repaired the vehicle.
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 I had one recall back in 2016/2017 but my seat belt keep beeping even when I fasten it my radio keep shutting on N off saying the usb need to be restored the car is now accelerating correctly the air bag could deploy
The parking brake activates without touching it. I thought I was probably hitting it on accident but I'm no where near it. It's really scary. When I'm slowing down the car will accelerate on its own and the airbag light comes on and off.
Service air bag system notice comes on, as well with the vehicle driving groggy. Does not have proper throttle response, engine shudders and vibrates as well with stalling at a red light. All happens while driving and sitting stationary.
