Chrysler/fiat has issued a TSB recommending the wiring harness inside seat to be replaced. This should be a safety recall not a TSB since it has to do with airbags. It's a safety hazard. This needs to be done before someone is seriously injured or dies.

The back of the seat does not stay secured in place. Heavy acceleration may cause the seat to recline on its own

My vehicle has been recalled but I-??m noticing problems with my transmission when in switching gears. Sometimes it shifts into neutral, my radio shuts off periodically and my seat fills a lot thinner then the passenger seat. My air bag sensors pops on as well as the gas cap sensor and I just replaced the gas cap 2 months ago.

At times, but it's happened at least 12 in the past 10 months, there is away that a person can sit in the passenger side seat or sometimes by adjusting it that will make the airbag light come on. All I have to do is reach underneath the seat and jiggle the wires a little and it goes off. It occurs at different times.

A few days after I bought the car the air bag sensor came on. The dealership said it had something to do with the wiring and seats. They wouldn't fix the problem. I have read where the Chrysler 200 had recalled for this exact problem but haven't received a recall notice. The vehicle was in park and came on when I started the car.

First day I purchased this vehicle they had to clean a spot out on the passenger side. About 3 months later I took it for an oil change and jerking to landers Dodge off colonel glenn road.they told me it was doing that because it was new and the mobile hadn't been broke in. Never buying a new vehicle before I believe this man.. sometimes when I first starts off it jerk, still does it today. They said my car wasn't a recall I dont9know why not it does what the other jerk all the time. Don't think this is fair paying for a defect!!!! when Chrysler is aware!!! it jerks when I first start off and pulling steep hills.first time I drove it to las vegas, Nevada

Bouht the car with faulty airbag and passenger seat and upon multiple calls to the dealership nothing had been done and I have been dealing with this since 2016. Now my electric throttle sensor has came on with the transmission sensor. I just want it looked at and fixed. Not everything has happened at once it been a course of three years.

Occupant classification module in the passenger seat fails unexpectedly causing airbag light on and shut down of the entire vehicle airbag system. Similar to the S09/NHTSA 16V-114, but vehicle was not part of that recall campaign.

My vehicle jerks when first starting off, engine on and airbag light been on over a year when I first purchase this vehicle they had to shampoo driver seat. After 2 or 3 months I took car for oil change and report the car jerking sometimes when taking off the mechanic took me I didn't need an oil change, and the car jerking was because it was new..so I believe him. They changed my oil for a year and randomly I told them it still jerk..it would jerk in the city on my job and on interstate.
