MY AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 20MPH IN A SCHOOL ZONE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. IT WENT OFF THEM RANDOMLY CAME BACK ON AGAIN TODAY AND HASN'T WENT OFF. I HOPE THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED T HE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WASN'T AN RECALL AND WOULD COST OVER 200 JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT!!! MY CAR IS A 2015 WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES ON IT!!

TRANSMISSION RUNS VERY ROUGH, CAR JERKS, SHIFTS GEARS UNEXPECTEDLY, ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. 9/29/17 ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAR HIT A CURB. HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER AND OVER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND HAVE NOT NOTED IN MY FILE THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL AN AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME, IT WENT OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS TIME, IT WAS ON FOR A WHILE. I CALLED INTO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER, CONFIRMED THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS, BUT THAT EVEN AT ONLY 41,231 MILES THIS IS NOT COVERED. IN EDMUNDS SITE, THERE WERE RECALLS OF MARCH 2016 FOR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PRODUCTION DATE RANGE OF MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED. AS A RESULT, I WILL NEED TO PAY $120 FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS ALONE, THEN FOR THE REPAIR. THE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL CITY STREET AT ABOUT 35MPH.

I WAS WONDERING IF A SAFETY DEVICE IN A CAR HEADREST, DESIGNED TO JUMP FORWARD IN A REAR END COLLISION, IS A SAFETY DEVICE THAT FALLS UNDER WARRANTY. MY WIFE HAD ONE THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN HER 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THERE WAS NO REAR END COLLISION. SHE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION IN A MALL PARKING LOT. THE HEADREST DEPLOYED, THROWING HER FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT SINCE HER CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY PART. MODELS UP TO 2013 WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME MICROCHIP MALFUNCTION IN THE HEADRESTS, BUT 2014 WERE NOT RECALLED.

I FEEL STRONGLY THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AIR BAG ISSUES. A DASHBOARD MESSAGE STATING SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM APPEARS THEN THEN DISAPPEARS FROM MY DASHBOARD. IT STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OFF FOR A COUPLE DAYS. A 2015 CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING AIR BAG ISSUES. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT MY AIR BAGS WILL ACTUALLY WORK.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION MAKES HARD SHIFTS. IT IS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS THE 3.6 V6. HARD SHIFTS COME AT ANY SPEED. BETWEEN I THINK 3RD AND 6TH GEAR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR ARE CASUALLY DRIVING OR PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP FAST. IT IS A JOLT THAT YOU NEVER EXPECT. WE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ONCE. THEY SAID THEY HAD DONE AN UPDATE AND IT SEEMED BETTER. NOW IT IS OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN RATHER FREQUENTLY. LIKE 3-4 TIMES A DAY. UNSURE WHAT TO DO. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT. FEELS SCARY. USUALLY GOING STRAIGHT PROBABLY BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. I SELECTED DATE BELOW. BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES.
