AIR BAGS
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 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.

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.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT FEB 16 2017. REAR ENDED BY A FORD EXPEDITION. MY AIRBAG CAME ON BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD HARD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN. IT SLOWS DOWN TO FIVE MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SPEEDS UP AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THIS [XXX] CAR. IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AND I DEMAND ALL THE MONEY I PUT INTO IT BACK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TURNING ONTO THE ON RAMP OF THE FREEWAY ONE MORNING, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO QUICKLY GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE LANES. THE CAR PROMPTED SHIFT TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. AFTER SOME TIME APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES TRYING TO START, THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP. THE LIGHTS WERE DIMMER AND POWER WAS WEAK. DROVE ABOUT A MILE (AT 32MPH AS THE MAX SPEED THE CAR WOULD ALLOW) AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN PROMPTING TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUE THIS TIME. MADE IT TO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE, 3 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE IT STOPPED THE SECOND TIME, AND IT STOPPED AGAIN.

PURCHASED 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AT 4:35 PM. GOT ON HWY 25 MILES WEST GOING HOME I-70 WEST TO BONNER SPRINGS, THE CAR STARTED HESITATING, I NEARLY GOT THROWN OFF HIGHWAY BY 3 SEMIS- ADND 2 TRUCKS AND CARS BEHIND ME, LET OFF HORRIBLE BURNING ODOR, AND NEARLY THREW MY BODY OUT OF THE CAR, BUT I HANDLED WELL. I GOT OFF I-70 TO STATE AVENUE- RUNS PARALLEL DIRECTIONS. THEN, WHEN I CAME TO A NUMBER OF LIGHTS- THE ENGINE REVVED UP, LIKE IT WAS JERKING MOTIONS. I PAID IT SOME ATTENTION, BUT WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I THOUGHT I WAS ON A RACE TRACK ENGINES REVVED UP, BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO A RACE TRACK. SO, I CAME HOME- SETTLED NOW DOWN TO2:445 IN THE MORNING VERY SHAKEN UP. SO, I NOTIFIED THE TELEVISIONS NEWS STATIONS AND THE KANSAS CITY STAR NEWSPAPER AS WE SPEAK. I DECIDED TO READ THE "CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS, AND I AM SURE YOU CAN PULL THEM TOO. I JUST SEARCHED FOR CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS- AND I READ SO MANY "EXACT" STORIES- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I CANNOT SLEEP. THIS IS THE WORST FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD. READ THE REVIEWS. HELP PEOPLE LIVE, AND GET RID OF THESE CARS. JUST THINK, IT HAS GREAT LEG ROOM- I HAD PLANS FOR MY NIECES- TO GO TO TEXAS, WE CANNOT DIE AT ONCE. I AM NOT READY TO BE BURIED- AT LEAST LET ME TEACH A FEW MORE MONTHS AND YEARS. HAD IT BEEN SNOWING, I WOULD BE DEAD. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UP SIDE DOWN, SINCE 4PM. IT IS NOT JUST ME. DON;T LET THESE PEOPLE KILL KIDS,MY NIECES COULD HAVE DIED THIS WEEKEND. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PICK THEM UP, BUT I AM SO SHAKEN,I AM ICE COLD ALL OVER. I PRAY TO GOD- YOU WILL CEASE THESE VEHICLES AT ONCE. PLEASE DON;T LET ANY MORE PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS- AND PLEASE SHOW THESE ON FACE THE NATION ON CHANNEL 5 CBS STATIONS. THANK-GOD- MY NIECES ARE ALIVE. I AM SO GLAD TO BE HOME. I PLAN TO GET A POLICE ESCORT TO THE DEALERSHIP 9/12/2017. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING HONESTY. GOD BLESS US.

TRANSMISSION IS UNSAFE. VERY CHOPPY. STALLS ON ACCELERATION WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PASS. "HESITATES". WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. "LURCHES" FORWARD. VERY OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD TRANSMISSION, PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ARE VERY AWARE OF THE CHOPPY TRANSMISSION GEAR CHANGES.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON AND OFF EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING WAS BLOCKING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT WHICH HAD BEEN REMOVED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT THIS LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR IF I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS OR NOT. THE SUNROOF HAS ALSO MALFUNCTION TO WHERE IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND CLOSE BY PRESSING THE BUTTON I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE FIXED 3 TIMES ALREADY. I FEEL LIKE I AM STUCK IN A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE CAR ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE "VEHICLE AT TOO HIGH SPEED" FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD AS IT ASKED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME! AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY DEADLY, WOULD HAVE OCCURRED! I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD, AND THIS CAR IS PUTTING US BOTH IN DANGER. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A DEATH MACHINE, I PAID FOR A WORKING VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. THIS HITS ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF NEEDING TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE, AS I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 20 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE AFFECTED/INJURED/KILLED FOR THIS TO GET FIXED?
