I was driving to take my vehicle to the car dealer that I bought it from and started having problems with the car. As I was driving the car started smoking really bad, and soon as I pulled into the the car dealer lot the bottom of my car was in flames. I had to hurry put the car in park jump out and grab my daughter out the car. Every since my daughter has been having really bad coughing issues. I took my car to have it looked at and checked and the dealer let me know that it was nothing they can do that they would not switch me to another car. I feel it-??s unsafe and unfair for my children as well as my self to continue having to drive in and pay for a car that has caught on fire. Every since I have been having unstoppable problems with the car, from a starting issue, air bag issue, engine issue and so many more problem.

Let me start by saying I was in love with my 200S but lately she been acting up. 1) I was driving on multiple occasions now when I-??ll hear a chim sound(Warning light with nothing laminated on the dashboard) car loses all power and shuts off completely no matter where on the freeway and surface streets 2mins later car starts up. The latest incident came a week ago when I was pulling in a drive way car shut off completely while traffic was coming almost causing a major crash (Thank God Nobody didn-??t get hurt) other motorists got out to help push it to safety. There-??s been multiple occasions while driving the car starts shaking bad as if it-??s going to stall check engine light comes on..I pull over scan for codes nothing pops up, I then check connectors and fluids etc unscrewed the gas cap Redo it, car starts up I drive home safely (No more stalling feeling or bad shaking) Mechanic run diagnostics No Error codes appear. 2) Airbags senor come on and off for no reason which scares the heck out of me to drive it not knowing if they-??ll actually protect me or not if I need it too. It-??s been almost 2 car payments since I drove it.Due to safety fears because I travel with Kids 3) it-??s hard to pick up speed when trying to accelerate My car is now at 99K miles and I have been going through these issues probably since 73K miles

Ive had 1recall resistly but have all these problems and see there is a total of 8. This things need fixing asap.

Occupant Classification Module (OCM) or the Seat Cushion Foam (SCF) of the front passenger seat replaced instead of the both pieces together, which make up a complete calibrated set. The part was recalled I have the same type of car but my VIN is not showing up on the list. My airbag sensor goes off and I was advised that the above is what the issue is. My car for some reason doe snot come up as needing to be fixed but my car has this direct issue with the passenger side airbag.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the front passenger-??s side air bag warning light would remain illuminated and would turn off and on without a passenger being in the seat. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the electrical wiring, but the failure reoccurred. Also, while attempting to accelerate from a stationary position, the accelerator pedal needed to be depressed almost to the floor before the vehicle responded. Occasionally, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and the vehicle would suddenly lurch forward. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.

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.

Bought my car a little over two years ago from a local pre owned car dealership, soon after my passenger airbag light came on, their mechanic wouldn't fix it without trying to charge me even though I'm supposed to have a 4 year warranty. It's still not fixed after two years, I just can't afford it, and now I'm finding out there was a recall previously for the issue and I don't think it was ever fixed but they said it was. I have no idea what to do, it's extremely unsafe and I can't afford any kind of repair, I've been absolutely duped by this dealership and im frightened for my safety and the safety of my loved ones when I drive. The dealership could kill my loved ones and I don't know what to do about it.

In the past 3 years the active grille shutter had to be fixed 3 times. The check engine light would always come up for this issue after it was stationary or parked over night and then the light would come up when it was time to drive again. Finally the dealership fixed the the problem they said the transmission needed to be fixed. After the transmission was fixed my car now overheats after being idle for more than a few minutes. Also the passenger air bag sensor was fixed twice but lit up on my dashboard recently again.

Have had car less than a year. Air bag lights constantly come on and I have to get it repaired - light is on while driving and while stopped. Light came in the day I got the car as I was leaving the lot and they refused to do anything for it. Also the car keeps stalling. Had the battery replaced and alternator checked, which is running almost like brand new. The car still stalls while driving it with no warning signs at all. No lights are on it will just happen, again, with no warnings. Everything gets locked up and I can't even put the car in neural to back it out from the middle of the street. The car can barely handle highway speed limit of 70, the bumps or groves in the road almost feel like it's pushing the car and it will spin out (this is in dry warm weather). I've checked the tires they are fine. The entire suspension is bad and needs replaced. The charging systems for your phones don't always work, it's off and on. The chargers work just fine in the house so it's not the cords itself. Was shown the carfax before buying and there are no accident reports.

When I purchase the vehicle the airbag light was on and haven't went off yet and I had the vehicle since September 2020. Also when it rains for a long period of time and I use my wind shield wipers they will not go off I have to take the fuse out for them to stop for a couple of days. I've spoke with the place I got the car from and they started that the warranty doesn't cover the issues that the car previously had before I purchased it within the 30 days I purchase the car as well.
