2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL FEBRUARY 2017, I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY MOMS HOUSE WHEN I HEAR A RINGING NOISE IN MY CAR, THE CAR WASN'T MOVING; IT WAS TURNED ON AND PARKED. IT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SAID SERVICE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME UNLESS I PAID THE $200 TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. A FRIEND OF OURS DROVE OUR CAR AND ENDED UP GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. HE REAR ENDED A POLICE OFFICER AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE SENSOR LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON. WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDS COMPLETELY REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE OTHER VEHICLES REAR END.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP ENGINE STALL EVERY TIME YOU BRAKE AND STALL TO TURN BACK ON

TAKATA RECALL A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH 29,2017 MY SEATBELT LIGHT POP ON AND SHORTLY AFTER LESS THAN A WEEK OF THE SEATBELT LIGHT COMING MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON BUZZING MAKING NOISE MY BREAK WAS MAKING A NOISE SO I TOOK TO AMERICAN FINANCIAL ON WINCHESTER THAT SERVICES THE CARS BUT I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BREAK BUT NOW I REALLY HEAR THE BREAKS SCRUBBING THE ALSO ALL 4 TRIES WAS REPLACED WITH NEW TIRES AND SO NOW I'M DEALING WITH MY TRACKING LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME IF IT'S COLD OUTSIDE I HAVE HAD THE WORST TIME WITH THIS 2015 WITH 42125 MILAGE AND I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING ON HERE WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I HAVE A PRINTOUT THAT SHOW THAT THIS SAME SEAT BELT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY 7/2016 AND OTHER THINGS WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY I REALLY NEED SOME ASSISTANT WITH WHAT I HAVE GOING ON BECAUSE I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE ISSUE ON THIS CAR ALREADY

THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THEN IT DISABLED ITSELF. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT STARTED, IT'S STARTED FLASHING THROUGH OUT THE DASH ABOUT THE KEY-FOB, REPLACED THE BATTERIES, THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. THEN IT STARTED APPEARING TO BE NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THERE WAS NO CODE. RESTARTED THE CAR, MIL OFF. DIDN'T DRIVE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO REVERSE. WOULDN'T GO OVER 32 MPH. TURNED OFF RESTARTED WAS ABLE TO GO 50 MPH. THE MIL WAS ON, WAS ABLE TO A DIAGNOSTIC READING - SEE ATTACHED. MY DASH IS LITE UP LIKE CHRISTMAS. IT IS FLASHING TRANSMISSION ERRORS AND PARKING BRAKE ERRORS. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE? I TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING AS THIS FIRST STATED 11/24/2017

TRANSITION WILL SLIP ON TAKEOFF AND WILL ALLOW THE CAR TO ROLL FORWARD ON A HILL WHEN PLACED IN PARK.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. 'PUT IN PARK AND RESTART' APPEARS ON SCREEN AND CAR LOSES ALL POWER.

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.

MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF 3 TIMES JUST THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I WAS IDLING AT A STREET LIGHT. THE DASH SAYS TO PUT CAR BACK IN PARK AND THEN IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES TO RESTART IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I HAVE NO OIL. BUT I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE NOT TOO LONG AGO AND I HAVE NO LEAKS. THIS CAR IS CONSUMING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. I WAS IN A YIELDING LEFT HAND TURNING LANE WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF 2 OF THE 3 TIMES. IF IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS LATER I COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED WITH MY SON IN THE CAR ON THAT SIDE. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* 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.
