2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

AT TIMES, BUT IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 IN THE PAST 10 MONTHS, THERE IS AWAY THAT A PERSON CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT OR SOMETIMES BY ADJUSTING IT THAT WILL MAKE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS REACH UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND JIGGLE THE WIRES A LITTLE AND IT GOES OFF. IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

I HAD THE CAR ONLY 1YEAR AND HALF AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON CAUSE ME 1800 DOLLARS TO FIX,IM ONLY DRIVING LOCAL. THE OTHER ONE IS JERKING TRANS TWICE TO FIX REPLACE PART COST 100.

THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO A STOP AND DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO P TO START'. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TRIED TO START IT, IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO START THE CAR AFTER IT SEEMED TO BE STRUGGLING TO START BEFORE FINALLY STARTING ON THE 3 RD TIME. THEN IN THE TIME SPAN OF ME DRIVING THE TWO MINUTES BACK HOME IT STARTED TO TRY AND STOP AGAIN.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE REAR SHOCK SUSPENSION, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED AND NOW I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. REAR SHOCKS LEAKING AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT. FOUND AT CAR DEALERSHIP DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

BASED ON EXPERIENCE, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE MIRRORS AND LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT MAY CAUSE INTERMITTENT POWER FAILURES TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
