Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
We purchased our vehicle brand new in 2015 with 6 miles on it. 1. The vehicle has always shifted hard, but every time I brought it up at the dealership I was told that "the car is just learning my driving habits" Here we are 10 years later and my car is still shifting hard and it still won't fall into gear like it's supposed to. 2. Within the first 6 months the airbag light came on and would throw a warning message on the display, to have it checked. Even after acknowledging that I had seen the message it would beep at me and come on almost immediately. I took it in to the dealership on 3 different occasions while it was still under the 3 year warranty. The first two times I asked about it the dealership told me that they found a water bottle stuck under the passengers seat and that it was causing the wires to not stay connected. They claimed that it fixed the problem each time. The third time I took it in I made sure there was no trash under the seat and reset the light. After a day or so the warning light came back on. This time they said they would replace the parts under the seat, but I went to pick up my vehicle the dealership seemed confused about what was supposed to have been done. Then they said it was all fixed and hustled me out the door. I've asked about the issue at least 2 more times since being out of warranty. The dealership wants me to pay nearly $2,000 to have it fixed even though they say there's a known issue. And when my son and I were hit from the side in 2022 the airbags didn't deploy and I'm guessing it has to do with that light being on still to this day.
Was in an accident and airbags did not deploy but the other driver who hit me,hers did
My son was in a car accident, he went off of the road, and totaled my car, the airbags did not deploy. I bought this car brand new in jan,2015, and had a couple of recalls to get it fixed for certain parts. Also I was having surge problems with this car.
I was involved in an accident with my car. A car turned in front of me while I had the right of way. I did not have time to even hit the brakes. So the front of my car hit the vehicle. I was going about 40 MPH. The whole front bumper came off and the steel support bar and the frame was twisted. My airbags never deployed. I did sustain injuries! This was not the first issue I had with this car. I bought it in 2017 and a week later the car started downshifting as I was driving all the time. It would stall and the transmission light would come on. I brought it to chrysler and was told that the original owner had s6arted the recall process on the transmission!! I was infuriated that I was not told. After rental cars because I couldnt use it while the recall stuff was being done. And me bringing it back and forth 3 times with the problem still persisting! Yet again the car downshifted in traffic and was forced to go off the road. Finally they replaced the transmission. A year later and my car still does not switch gears right and the check engine light never goes off!!! I am now gonna sue the hell out of chrysler!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 15 MPH, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The air bag failed to deploy. The contact sustained head injuries that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was driven to the contacts' residence. The vehicle failed to restart and all the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing of the air bag failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
My vehicle rear ended a stopped pick up truck at approximately 35-40mph. Prior to and during the accident, the forward collision warning didn't activate in time to help stop the car as well as the air bags never deployed throughout the accident.
My chrysler 200 had been recalled mid 2015 for a glitch in their computer system that required all chrysler, dodge, ram, and fiat vehicles with the 8.4 screen to have a chip sent out and installed by self to update and instill security to those cars. In january of 2016 I was involved in a collision in my chrysler 200. My entire front end was knocked off as I was awaiting a turn in a center lane on a city street. My engine dropped and all fluids were expelled from this vehicle, my air bags did not deploy. When I called concerned about it I was told that my vehicle was tested with a hand device in a junk yard and that I had not been hit hard enough or in the right place for them to deploy. I could not believe due to the force and damage done but was still told by a chrysler representative that there was no malfunction with the air bags. The car was a total loss but was resold to a dealership in cincinnati, oh and put up for sale. I am still receiving notifications about the car due to uconnect and is very concerned about this same vehicle being sold and put on the road.
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.
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.
My chry 200, 2015 was involved in a front end collision and the air bags did not deploy. When my car collided with the side of a school bus the whole front and driver side of the chrysler was smashed in and tore off. The vehicle was in motion on impact, on a city street while turning left.
My daughter was in a car accident on january 27, 2017 where they had to cut her out of the car and her air bags never deployed on any part of the vehicle

- What is wrong
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to August 3, 2015. During service work, the affected vehicles may have had either the 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.
- Risk
- If both pieces were not replaced together, the occupant detection and classification system may not be properly calibrated and the passenger air bag may improperly deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a new OCM-SCF seat service kit, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S09.
