2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL; WHILE DRIVING THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON A WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN: POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE, NEED SERVICE SOON. SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND WOULDN'T TURN. I CRUISE THE CAR TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN RED IN ORDER TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN I TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON BUT SUDDENLY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND AGAIN I WASN'T ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OVER TO THE NEXT LANE IT FROZE UP. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND A LARGE TRUCK WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME BLOWING HIS HORN FOR ME TO SPEED UP OR GET OUT OF THE WAY BUT I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR OVER. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND TRY HARD TO STEER THE CAR UNTIL I REACH ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN REACHING THE RED LIGHT I TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN IT BACK ON AT THE GREEN LIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE BETTER FOR ME TO CRUISE THE CAR IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE TO THE NEAREST SHOP. I WAS ABOUT 15 MILES FROM HOME AND ABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LANE TO DRIVE SLOW WITH MY AMBER LIGHTS BLEEPING. THEN I NOTICE A FIRESTONE WAS OPEN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCK UP AGAIN SO I JERK IT AS HARD AS I CAN TO STEER IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THANKS GOD FOR HIS PROTECTION BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVES. FIRESTONE EXAMINE MY VEHICLE AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY FELT THE PROBLEM WAS; ELECTRICAL, AND I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT IT COULD BE MY BATTERY SO THEY REPLACE THE BATTERY STILL NO SUCCESS. CALL THE FOLLOWING DAY AND ASKED IF THEY BELIEVE THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAR AND THE MANAGER WAS HONEST AND SAID NO BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PARTS THAT IS NEEDED IS OUT OF STOCK AND THE CAR HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP. POSSIBLE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE SYSTEM AIR BAG MASSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEEP ALL STAR (11503 ST. CHARLES ROCK RD., BRIDGETON, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTILY. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200S IS PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL S55072016 BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE SAME AS PER FCA

CAR WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING, POSING A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF. DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWER WHY.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM FILING A COMPLAINT. I HAVE EVEN WROTE TO JEEP MOTORS AND NO RESPONSE. I NOTICE THAT MY RADIO TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN COMPLETELY . THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AND REBOOST ITSELF.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. I MERGED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE RPMS WOULD JUST GO UP. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED MOVING SLOWLY AT HIGH RPMS WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND SENSOR CONTINUOUSLY TURNING ON WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE STOPPED.

SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY, BROUGHT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS STILL FAIRLY NEW SO IM CONFUSED ON WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND IS STILL ON.
