The "service air bag system" constantly comes on and off. Some times it stays on for days. Sometimes it just constantly turns on and off continually dinging. Its very frustrating. It doesn't matter if I am idle, or driving. There is no rhyme or reason to when it turns on and off. I have had it serviced at the dealer 3 times now. They tell me its just a sensor or wiring but it still continues to happen. I bought the car in may and this is December and I am still dealing with this all the time.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. Every time the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred for at least twelve months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (arrego Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram in sawgrass, Florida) where it was determined that the warranty had expired and the diagnosis and repair would be at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

On November 29, 2017 at approximately 5:15 pm, was driving approximately 25mph in traffic on a two lane. I hit the brake to stop, no brakes, and I hit the person in front of me. After hitting them, I bounced off and continued to move with no brakes. My airbags did not deploy and I sustained injuries to me chest, neck, head and back. I was able to steer the car in the right side lane and eventually was able to steer into a parking lot; still with no brakes. I looked down to pull up the emergency brake and saw the shifter in neutral. I then put the shifter in park and the car finally stopped. I do not yet have the police report. I did not receive a ticket, but was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

Air bag light goes on and off constantly. Time frame is always different and no codes are present. Happens at any speeds as well as idling. Highway or city roads.
- Naugatuck, NN, USA
Airbag light turns on and off while driving any speed. It's happened on the street at 25 mph and on highway going 65mph. Makes no difference. Sometimes stays on for long sometimes takes off right away. Called my dealer but said there's no recall for my VIN

Air bag warning comes on saying to have air bags serviced.
- Sidney, OH, USA
My airbag service light came on while driving down a local street with no warning. The car has never been in an accident, I purchased the car new (with 6 miles), I searched if there was a recall for this issue, however, the NHTSA website only site 78 vehicles affected in the recall. I checked and my car was not included. This issue should be resolved for fear the airbags will deploy while simply driving down the highway, or even worse, the airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident.

Takata recall air bag light came on when I started my car. It says service air bag system. I called Chrysler because I seen there was a recall on my kind of vehicle and I was informed that my vehicle was not affected by the recall. But the light remains on.

Car purchased 10/21/2016, 3 months later problems began. 01/16/2016 service air bag light came on and will not go off. Dealer said it is not covered under my extended warranty, for what reason I still don't know. Taken the car to 3 different shops to work on it and I keep being told it is a passenger seat connector, yet I have had this done 3 times now...$500 out of pocket each time, the light is still on as of 11/10/2017. Now the car also has a service engine light on constantly along with this airbag light. As well as of 10/25/2017 my car has began to tell me the engine is running hot while I'm driving, but the thermostat display inside never even gets to half.. so not sure about this now. As well as also telling me to service the electronic throttle control as soon as the overheat sensor goes off. Lastly I was at the gas station the other day and the car wouldn't start, it said the keyfob not detected but it was in my hand! had to google what to do..(which is put nose of keyfob to button and press it that way if happens to anybody else) soo that would be a total of 4 different lights on at this time of 11/10/2017. Enterprise has yet to help me or get back to me on any of these issues. It was a rental car before I bought it from them, obviously they sold me a lemon! as I was getting an oil change on 11/01/17 I had them run codes and it and it read I needed a new thermostat to take care of the engine overheating and the etc light...needless to say this has been a car from hell. I have filed complaints to enterprise about this car repeatedly especially with it all happening so soon after getting the car. I'm stuck with it now so I would love for somebody to know what there doing and actually fix this car!!!

My airbag light has came on after having my oil changed and it won't go off 5/6/2017. Then yesterday 11/6/2017 my car would not start because my battery was dead but I just purchased the car used in March and the battery should be dead after 2 years. My check engine light ended up coming on after having aaa jump start my vehicle and I'm just having issues that I shouldn't be experiencing and I'd think my airbag should still be covered under warranty.

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!!

On October 2, 2017, as I was preparing to start the car, I noticed that the bell kept ringing. And when tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. So after sitting in the car for about two minutes, it started, but hesitantly. Also, the air bags warning light had been coming on since last week. I was driving when the warning light for the airbags came on.

Air bag has come on after 62469 mile and it will not go off. It not on the recall list. But, I see this is an ongoing problem with these vehicles.
- Canoga Park, CA, USA
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.
