Ok this model has 8 recalls and I've only received one. My airbag indicator has been on for awhile now. See they have had recall for seat change. Which is my indicator picks up when i move my seat a certain way. My car drives be itsself in the acceleration. The intake is throwed. My radio just stopped working on its own FOR NO REASON. After that use to make this noise on its own even when car was off to try to come back on but it didn't. Electrical recall and whole middle console doesnt work. (Something sbout a usb update) Now my car goes dead over night and I have to jump it to start. Battery, starter and alternator is fine. This ridiculous at this point. Ive had 1recall resistly but have all these problems and see there is a total of 8. This things need fixing asap.

My car is not shifting correctly after the recent recall for a software update. My engine light came on the very next day. The problem happens mostly on the highway as I try to accelerate. My car runs between 3500-4500 RPMs on the highway unless I am going downhill. I have to keep letting off the gas in order for the car to shift. I am not entering the highway at a safe speed because my car will not go. I am afraid this is going to cause a wreck. I am not sure if this is along the same problem, but my remote start stopped working correctly at the same time. I can start it with the remote, but it will only stay on for about 10 seconds, this is also NOT due to being low on gas. I called the dealer about this issue but they want to charge $150 to even look at the car.

upon taking my chrysler 2015 200 limited 2.4L in-line into BAY AREA CHRYSLER dealership to figure out why my car wasnt running correctly they it on their diagnostic they said it needed a body control module which the dealership put a new one charged me $199.20 to put it in plus the $376.35 for the module that was ordered which I paid.when I picked up my car it was parked with the ignition on and walked off with the key fob.after paying for another 200 $ for a new key fob I was told the new part didnt work.so now the center stack which controls the radio the heater /air conditioner controls screen off on selecter knob and parking brake do not work so im wondering if the electrical recall or failure of the dealership to do their job

I tried talking to Chrysler but they were no help. They have had a power failure recall but I was told that based on my vin number, didnt affect my vehicle. Intermittent power steering failure. I replaced the battery, I replace the rack and pinion and it-??s still doing the same thing. $2300 down the drain. You can be driving and loose the ability to steer the vehicle. There are tons of complaints about this and they all say the same. They have replaced major parts and the issue persist. When speaking to crysler over the phone, they said that the replacement of the rack and pinion would fix the issue. Thats not true. https://www.200forums.com/threads/power-steering-failure.30529/ https://https://://www.aboutautomobile.com/Consumer-Complaint/2015/Chrysler/200/Steering There is alot more. I have been dealing with this since August. I dont know what else to do or where to turn but this is a major safety issue and it needs to be made public and addressed.

The car just dangerously shuts off without warning while driving in traffic. The Battery is new, and all fluids are full. This is the second time, in less than a month, that this dangerous shutdown has happened. Both times being while the car is in motion. The first time this dangerous incident occurred, the car started back up. The airflow sensor, All sparks plugs & coil packs were changed & Throttle body cleaned. This time, the car will not crank back up.

This car is shutting off and losing power while driving putting me as well as other motorists in danger due to this occurring without warning and under any rate and direction of motion. I have loss power causing my emergency brakes to initiate causing the car to immediately stop. I was crossing an intersection when the car shut off. Yesterday, I was entering an entrance ramp onto the freeway and my car loss power, and the only time I was happy to have the police behind me because they blocked traffic so I would not get hit while trying to restart my car. The first time this occurred was April 2019 when my car lost power while I was driving on a high rise bridge during a storm causing the car to hydroplane back and forth against the railing. I was able to restart it and turn the hazard lights on so I would not get hit. But this accident injured me causing me to undergo months of medical treatment. Even after telling the insurance company about the power loss during the accident and even after the car was repaired from the accident then returned to me, it still was losing power. They took my car back and told me after inspecting it again, it was the battery and they replaced it. This was never taken serious when I was injured and could have died that day and many other days since. They did not check to see if it could have been a recall issue. Now I am experiencing this problem multiple times a week, and unless this is done by the manufacturer, it will not be corrected, putting us all in danger or leaving me without transportation because I have no faith I will be safe to continue to drive this car that I still have a year and a half of payments left. This is my families only transportation.

I am receiving a sign stating -??warming engine wait to start-?? the car does not start. When I apply gasoline it stalls to start. While driving the car shuts off in traffic. I-??ve been to car shops who refer me to go to Chrysler because they can-??t fix the problem stating -??it is an electrical problem-??. I-??ve taken the car to Chrysler dealerships they continuously tell me otherwise. They-??ve cleared codes and fix the last recall issue after this the car was okay for a few months now it continues to do the same thing. I-??m am afraid that this could harm my passengers and I especially my child. I-??ve literally turned while traffic was clear and safe to turn onto a main ride and my car shut off mid turn as traffic caught up. This has happened after fueling my vehicle. The only light that continues to appear is the battery light which I-??ve had checked by many mechanics and technicians as well as the starter and alternator.

Car randomly stall and shuts downs when driving. Sometimes it will turn back on right away, sometimes it completely dies in the road and it has to be towed since everything shuts down. Unable to put it in neutral and push it, or roll up any windows. Before it happens traction control will flash very quickly, other times when it has completely died the power steering warning comes up quickly. I have taken it to the dealership but it doesn't throw a code so they keep telling me they can't do anything about it. There are many articles online about it, but nothing is being done as far as recalls.

Issue #1) 2015 Chrysler 200 looses power and goes dead in the middle of the road. Shift gear to park light comes on as it goes dead. Vehicle has done this repeatedly. I've replaced battery, the keyfob battery, and had the oil changed. Issue#2) The passenger airbag alarm is indicating problems with the airbag. Issue #3) Vehicle is an automatic, but exhibits stalling when shifting at sporadic and intermittent times since purchase date. #Summary - It is highly likely the repairs from the Chrysler 200 recalls were either never performed or the VIN to the Chrysler 200 I drive was not included in the recalls. Please help resolve this as soon as possible.
