My right passenger air bag senor is malfunctioning, however the dealership cannot tell me why or how the senor was broken. I see that there was a recall on some Chrysler vehicles that were made in 2015 which mine was, but they claim my car is not eligible for the recall. Washington ' Fiat-Chrysler is recalling 78 2015 Chrysler 200 sedans to fix a problem that affects the front passenger seat and airbag, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "during service work, the affected vehicles may have had either the occupant classification module or the seat cushion foam of the front passenger seat replaced instead of both pieces together, which make up a complete calibrated set, " NHTSA said in its recall summary. "if both pieces were not replaced together, the occupant detection and classification system may not be properly calibrated and the passenger airbag may improperly deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury." There are no accidents or injuries linked to the recall, Fiat-Chrysler spokesman eric mayne told edmunds. The affected 200 sedans were built from April 7, 2014 to August 3, 2015. Chrysler dealers will install a new ocm-scf seat service kit. The recall is expected to begin within 60 days. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Transmission is slipping and can't seem to get into gear while driving and getting to freeway speeds can't reach a max of 55mph. Have had the car completely stall out on the freeway and put itself into "neautral" while at freeway speeds. Maintenance airbag lights frequently coming on. Chrysler can't seem to find a fix to the issue on why this car is doing what it has been. They keep saying ithe issue is fixed when publicly there is no real fix to the issue and they don't know how to fix the re accruing problem. Little to say, I am deathly afraid of driving this vehicle even down the street to my local grocery store. I work too hard and pay to much for my first brand new car to be having issues like these. I really wish Chrysler would recall all of these vehicles already before someone ends up loosing a life over a faulty lemon of a vehicle.
