This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air bag switch located under the front passenger's seat was not secured, which caused the plug to detach from the wiring harness independently. The contact stated that road condition was a factor in the harness being unplugged. Additionally, the harness was also unplugged when a passenger entered or exited the vehicle. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My service air bag light has come on several times in the last 3 years of me owning this car. Regardless of being in motion or parked. I have taken it in to a dealer and even they said they receive this problem far too much and said I will have to come back for them to clear the code. Olease repair this before it cost my life or someone else's.
I bought my car in September 2019 around 25000 miles. In October the service airbag light came on. I took it to Chrysler and Jeep who charged over $3300 to fix. They said they talked to Chrysler who would cover $3000 and I had to pay the $300. I did that and the light is back on. It pops up ever couple minutes while I'm driving and it doesn't matter if I'm going 15 mph or 60 mph.
Air bags lights comes on indicating that there is a problem with the passenger seat. It has only came on after I have had a passenger in the passenger seat and on my instrument panel there's a red warning light that that air bag is not operational according to the dealership at jeff wyler East gate in batavia Ohio 45102 513-7523447. I also had to put the same 200 S in the shop for a massive oil leak that once I noticed it and then had it checked by a Chrysler service advisor there was no oil in the 3.6 L engine and I was told it was a common issue with the 3.6L engine that there was a tsb or something on it so I dropped it of at the above mentioned location to find out my warranty would cover the problem that it was the oil cooler cracked and I would have to pay the $200 lifetime warranty I had on the car. The other issue was there's a engine light on that indicated that the cooling system was malfunctioning which I had mentioned to the dealer when I bought the car or the sweet bungent odor that I smelled coming out of my vents at 5 miles when I bought it I was told that it would go away by 50 miles on my odometer and now at 66700 it's back and was notice by the discount tire shop tell me they smelled a strong coolent leak and I mentioned it to the dealer and they wanted to charge me more money to find if there was a issue that that had already told me was there after I bought the car at 5 miles and would go away at 50 ! to be honest I just believe I got use to it!!!
Vehicle went in for an airbag light twice right before the extended warranty expired at 75K miles. The dealership claims to have replaced a wiring harness under the passenger seat both times. Just slightly over 75K miles, the light came on again. This time they advised the whole wiring system needs replaced and that it won't be covered. Got in touch with Chrysler directly who stated they are willing to only pay for the $1200+ part but that I would be responsible for approximately $400 in labor. Vehicle was in motion each time the light came on. Typically when encountering a slight bump on the interstate. Safford Jeep Chrysler Ram in winchester va is the dealership the vehicle was purchased new and continued service at the same location. The vehicle has been in for 2 weeks now and currently there at this time. According to a brief internet search, this seems to be a common complaint yet no recalls have been issued. If this can be settled in any manner, I respectfully request that Chrysler provide a refund for what I'm about to pay to get my vehicle back up and running.
The sensor that is under the passenger seat, signalling that an individual is sitting in the seat, has needed to be replaced by the dealership twice now as a connection becomes loose and will dis-attach. This will alert my car to service airbags
For about 30K miles now my service airbag light is on. Chrysler wants to charge $100 to look at it and then charge much, much more to "fix" the airbags. Why are airbags that have never been deployed not always covered under a warranty? I have been told by a third party tech that the airbags will not deploy with this light on. This problem is widely known and Chrysler seems to think our safety is not worth covering this issue.
Took the car to the dealership to fix airbag they say they fixed but every time it was never fixed and the last time the dealership even keep my car for three days.
Airbag light keeps coming on. Bought the car used from a dealership in June 2019. VIN # is not on a recall list for takata airbags. The car is at college, out of state, with my granddaughter. The local Chrysler dealership in her area will not fix the airbag problem for free because the VIN # is not on a recall list. I'm at a loss since the cost of repair is high. I live on social security & she is going to school on scholarships. Does she have to be involved in an accident and possibly be hurt before Chrysler will repair the airbag problem-free" the description for this problem says the airbag may not deploy if there is an accident. How do I know if the car should be on a recall list" this is not the first time the light has come on. The car has been in motion, on a city street and on the highway when the problem occurs. The latest occurrence was on or about the date listed below and the airbag light is still on.
My 200 vehicle showed an air bag light 6 months after purchase, about may, 2016. Then the vehicle was not recalled so I ignored it. The oil change at the dealer after may, 2016 date failed to address the light. It remains on to this date. Repair on tire that showed a light was refused on June 7, 2017. This tire light remains a problem. Now, the vehicle will not go uphill without stalling and will not run when it rains. The fuel seems to be blocked because I keep pumping the gas to go uphill after it stalls. The car cuts off when I make left or right turns. Now, I warm the vehicle for 10 minutes to show the engine is ready. The engine light has come on for the past 6 months. I failed emission testing in Sept. 2019. The tune up done this month did not help. The engine light and other matters caused the emission testing to fail. My complaint is directed to the gas problem, air bags, electrical dashboard problem for the past year along with the tire light.
The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the "air bag needs servicing" warning message was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the wiring to the air bags needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,000.
While stationary the car steering wheel shakes really bad. While in motion the car jerks. Without pushing on break. The car takes a long time to get a little speed you have to mash the gas peddle. The air bag light stays
Takata recall, air bag icon stays on. Gas cap icon stays on. Upon cruse control, to continue at the previous speed on incline, the brakes and dash lights began to flash. Pulled over turned car off and started back up as K was driving on the interstate.
At times will not start. Engine dies while going down the highway. Transmission loses power then after resting it will go again then out of nowhere it stalls again.
TL- a mechanic called on behalf of an owner of a 2016 Chrysler 200. The mechanic stated that within the past month he has received several vehicle of this make and model that have had defective passenger air bags. On this particular vehicle, the passenger side air bag's jumper harness becomes disabled which deems the air bag ineffective in the event of an accident. The air bag warning light illuminated on the vehicle which led the owner take the vehicle to be serviced. The mechanic called a dealership(allen samuels Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of jackson 1623 us 45 byp, jackson tn 38305, 731-664-8400) where he was informed that that matter was a technical service bulletin(10-002-18) and not an actual recall. The manufacturer was notified on the failure and referred the mechanic to NHTSA. The vehicle has not been repaired and the failure mileage was 59,306.
A code came up for the passenger side seat squib. Shop found a related tsb but will require diagnostic and possibly disassembling the front seats. Also noted there are multiple modules that need updates.
After having the front passenger seat wiring harness replaced, the service air bag notification is once again reoccurring on this vehicle. The code is again indicating an issue with the passenger seat wiring. This problem appears to be quite common with 2015/2016 Chrysler 200S!
My car was working perfectly fine until I left work today. My check engine light came on as soon as I started my car and it kept saying 'check parking brake' and 'check airbags' I couldn't put my car in drive or reverse, it wouldn't go anywhere. Possibly because the parking brake wouldn't let me drive. Very strange, as it was sudden and unexpected.... have never had a problem with parking brake or airbags.
