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.

The air compressor and seat belt harness has gone bad and the vehicle is less than 5 years old. The A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait until 2019 to replace what I thought was the freon.

"takata recall". my airbag light sensor on the dash of my vehicle lit up along with the seatbelt light while I was driving by myself with the seatbelt on correctly and nothing sitting in any of the passenger seats. The dash displays a message of "service airbag system". when coming to a stop, the dash displays"driver seatbelt unbuckled" while my seatbelt is buckled. I have checked the vehicle for recalls and none are currently listed with the NHTSA or the dealership under my particular VIN. I have had the vehicle diagnosed at a Chrysler dealership/service center and was notified that the orc ("occupant restraint controller") was non responsive. They (Chrysler service center employee) informed me that I was responsible for the care and maintenance of the safety device that is defective in my vehicle. While sitting in park with the vehicle motor running in a parking lot there were three loud pops in my vehicle and a smelly smoky substance throughout the vehicle. I did not see any air bags visibly deploy.
First day I purchased this vehicle they had to clean a spot out on the passenger side. About 3 months later I took it for an oil change and jerking to landers Dodge off colonel glenn road.they told me it was doing that because it was new and the mobile hadn't been broke in. Never buying a new vehicle before I believe this man.. sometimes when I first starts off it jerk, still does it today. They said my car wasn't a recall I dont9know why not it does what the other jerk all the time. Don't think this is fair paying for a defect!!!! when Chrysler is aware!!! it jerks when I first start off and pulling steep hills.first time I drove it to las vegas, Nevada
Bouht the car with faulty airbag and passenger seat and upon multiple calls to the dealership nothing had been done and I have been dealing with this since 2016. Now my electric throttle sensor has came on with the transmission sensor. I just want it looked at and fixed. Not everything has happened at once it been a course of three years.

Most recent occurrence December 27, 2018.
Hello I've submitted and reached out plenty of times about a faulty transmission that when accelerated feels like it's in neutral then gets a gear and causes vehicle to make a harsh sound when kicks into gear and have almost gotten into plenty of accidents due to this. Also air bag sensor in passenger seat turns on everytime someone gets in as if it doesn't work properly.
My vehicle jerks when first starting off, engine on and airbag light been on over a year when I first purchase this vehicle they had to shampoo driver seat. After 2 or 3 months I took car for oil change and report the car jerking sometimes when taking off the mechanic took me I didn't need an oil change, and the car jerking was because it was new..so I believe him. They changed my oil for a year and randomly I told them it still jerk..it would jerk in the city on my job and on interstate.
The airbag light goes off for no reason, had in the shop 3 times and they keep resetting the light. The last time they said that it may possibly have a short somewhere in the harness
My airbag light comes on and off, most of the time it stays on though. Also, the car will die after driving and will stall while driving. It also appears that there are some sort of electrical issues with the car and the gears shift strange, sometimes throwing me forward while driving.

Airbag light came on in mid to late 2018. Car had ~65,000 at the time. Had the car diagnosed at the dealership and they said it was a wiring harness and charged me $300 to fix it. March 2019, the airbag light comes on. It appears on the dash for no apparent reason as I'm driving at highway speeds. After the initial audible and visual alarm, the visual alarm stays on and the audible alarm repeats every minute. Returned the car to the dealership (autopark Chrysler Jeep in cary, North Carolina) expecting that the repair would be covered due to the recent repair. They told me it was a different wiring harness and it would be ~$3300. When I asked the service manager if the car was hazardous to drive, he responded "absolutely". I have since parked the car and it has sat idle since.
