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.

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.

The contact owned a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the cruise control was set to 60 mph when the side air bag suddenly deployed without warning. The contact was struck in the face. A bystander informed the contact that the vehicle suddenly veered off the road. The contact believed that they may have either blacked out or fallen asleep. The contact stated that the vehicle drove into a ditch. The driver's air bag located in the steering wheel failed to deploy and the driver's side seat belt failed to retract. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. A police report was filed. The contact received injuries to the face, arms, back, and chest. Medical attention was needed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. Spoke w/ owner/driver of vehicle. Concern is with driver frontal air bag not deploying in this impact. Side airbags did deploy after impact into ditch and not before as stated above.pco..updated 09/28/17...updated 10/04/17 updated 10/11/2017 VIN not available updated 07/23/18

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).

On may the airbag light started to come on once in a while. But the last 2 months the light does not go away. I took to the dealership and want to charge me $150 to just see it. The vehicle has 50,000 miles the minute I start the vehicle the air bag light comes out and does not go away until the vehicle is turned off. I just afraid that if I have an accident the airbags wont work or they might explode while I'm driving. I need to know what to do.

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.

Ive been havng problems with my vehicle since I first purchased. The car slips gears and takes off and stagger while on highway. Ive made several attempts to have problem fixed by Chrysler. I was told that the transmission doesn't match with software and Chrysler is looking to fix issue in the future. Thecar feels really unsafe. After doing research, I also noticed that this car was sold to me way above price that was offered to others. I also feel that the contract is no longer valid as the car dealership requested a certain amount to pay off my trade in. I later found that the amount was nearly $300 less than the requested amount. I was told that any excess fund will be released to me. Its been over a year and I have yet to receive the refund.

Purchased vehicle 24 April 2017. After approx. 2 weeks the "service airbag system' message and airbag light on panel came on and went off after a few days. Called and spoke with dealership I purchased from and was informed that if it came on again to take it in to get checked. Came on again after another 2 weeks, scheduled appointment and the morning I took it in it went off. Came on again at the end of June which was another 2 weeks later and has been on since. First couple of time came on while driving, last time came on right after car was started. Car will also making a "jerky" acceleration motion while driving on highway and acts like it can't accelerate after coming out of a stop. Makes the "jerky" acceleration motion when pulling into driveway also. Did some research online and saw that others where having the same issues. I haven't had this vehicle a full 4 months.

Air bag warning light turned on every time the car started. I took it to prestige Chrysler and Dodge to see about it. While waiting on my ride to the enterprise there were other customers with the same complaint. After 2.5 days of waiting the vehicle was ready. I had to ask what the diagnosis /prognosis was and per devon my service advisor told me that there was something loose underneath the driver seat that caused the warning light lit. The part was replaced.
