THE CAR FIRST STARTED OFF WITH THE SCREEN TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING..WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT HOWEVER A FEW MONTH AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. BEFORE TURING OFF THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO YANK AS IF RESISTING. WE PROCEEDED WITH PURCHASING A NEW BATTERY. THAT WAS 4 MONTH AGO. WE ARE NOW HERE 12/2018 AND THE CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN STARTED TO YANK WHILE DRIVING, TURN OFF WHEN GOING 10-40 MPH AND NOW HAS THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION AND VOLTAGE LIGHT FLASHING. ONCE IT IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINS. IT'S AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREET AND TURNING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 30 MPH THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLING. AS THAT HAPPENED MY TOUCHSCREEN IN THE VEHICLE WENT IN AND OUT AND THE CAR BECAME HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND THEN RELEASE IT AFTERWARDS THE CAR REALLY BECAME HARD TO MOVE. TRANSMISSION JUST REVED AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED ACCELERATING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PARKING BRAKE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET GOING LESS THAN 15MPH. CHECK TURNS ON BUT NO CODES AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. BIGGEST ISSUE LATELY IS THAT CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEY FAB. BATTERIES HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NEITHER KEY FAB IS RECOGNIZED. CAR CAN BE STARTED, GET OUT AND GET BACK IN AND FAB IS JOT RECOGNIZED. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. THEN WHEN GO BACK, IT SUDDENLY WORKS.

AIR BAGS
WHEN DRIVING, A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND WE WERE TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH A PLUG UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WHICH BENDS EASILY. IT WAS FIXED, BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE ON VARIOUS SITES SUCH AS GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE PLUG SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP IS STUCK ON DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE IN WHICH THE SYSTEM MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A ACCIDENT AND OR MAY GO OFF DUE TO HARD BREAKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR A WHILE AS STATED IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT VEHICLES RANGING IN YEARS FROM 2014 TO CURRENT HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN TAKING MY VEHICLE INTO BE REPAIRED THIS ISSUE DIDN'T POP UP WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. UPON GETTING MY VEHICLE HOME THE AIRBAG LAMP BEGAN APPEARING. I RETURNED MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP/DEALERSHIP TO WHICH I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A CHRYSLER TECH AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SERVICE MY CAR. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TODAY I WAS TOLD THE NEWS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. MY WARRANTY COVERAGE WON'T COVER THIS ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY MATTER. MY AIRBAG LAMP IS ON AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH AND WITH OUT PASSENGERS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR IS BURNING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD AND THE CAR DOES NOT WARN YOU WHEN YOU ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. INSTEAD, IT ALLOWS YOU TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHILE ON THE ROAD, IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGE COMPLETED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE DRIVEN 1,000 MILES SINCE THEN. MY OIL LEVEL IS NOW BELOW THE MIN LEVEL. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A DASHBOARD INDICATOR AND THE "OIL LIFE" PERCENTAGE IS NOT ACCURATE.

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.
