Nope not covered under warranty. Today I get in my car and my air bag light comes on and says to service air bag system. While driving the light will come on and go off about every 2 miles.
2015 Chrysler 200 electrical complaints
Page 18 of 26: complaints 491 to 520 of 756, newest first, as owners wrote them.
**I will continue to post until my issue is resolved** my 2015 chrysler 200 limited has been experiencing the same thing as all other reports. 06/08/17 car turned off while driving and would not immediately turn back on. When it did it would sputter and then stall. 06/09/17. Check engine light came on code p2172 for throttle actuator control system and the car would not let me accelerate past 32 MPH. One of the possible issues would be an open or short in the wire harness. This is something that is discussed in the r24 recall however, my VIN is not on the list yet. This is an extremely unsafe vehicle and it needs to be addressed immediately. I'm confident that there are more than enough people to begin a class action suit. If I have to post on here again and add accident, injury, or death. The lawsuit will hold a very different meaning.

The factory battery on this year and model is bad. Causes the car to not start randomly and completely shuts off during driving due to the faulty battery.
Drove the car from germantown md to washington dc for a program, got in the car two hours later. Door unlocked with remote, place foot on brake, dash lights and radio turns on car won't start. Stop recognizing my remote in the car. I had people try hooking up jumper cables, nothing happen. After two hours of trying to figure out what's wrong car starts. Drive the car home with no issues. Next morning car won't start same thing happening. I looked down and noticed the car showing in neutral when the knob turned to park. The electrical system reading my car in neutral but it's not therefore it won't start. I took my car in for the recall and criswell only did a updating of software, the rewiring of the electrical system wasn't done. The recall wasn't done as called for and the remote is a replacement after they lost my original.
The purchase of this car has been a headache since the first month of ownership. I immediately had to have a new transmission put into a brand new car, which is unheard of. There have been at least two re-calls for different parts of the car and I'm tired of spending money on a car that is a lemon!!!
First, my car problem starts 2 weeks ago with heating sensor stopped working suddenly and it shows take to the dealer and I fixed it. After that problem continues with the new sensor as well. After driving couple of miles, it shows you required a service of the sensor and it goes on/off on its own when I take to the dealer it says it's fine after inspection. After that check engine starts popping up along with service of heat engine sensor. I think I have wasted my hard earned money on chrysler 200 and I am not gonna refer it to anyone as I have driven honda before so expectations were high.
The passenger airbag alarm stays on and interrupts the info on the dash. The radio has turned up on its own and would not turn off even when the car was turned off and door opened. The engine constantly stalls especially when making a hard or fast turn or when braking hard. Sometimes jt cuts off when idling. It is always hard to get restarted, and requires several minutes of trying. The radio problems happen when stationary. The airbag light us constant during stationary and movement. The engine stalls happen mostly when deceleration or hard turns or braking. Sometimes a red light with lightenjng bolt appears on dash and the car will ride very rough until turned off and turned back on

From january - april 2017, I have had multiple instances of losing the ability to accelerate or shift gears while making left hand turns. The car throws up error messages regarding the loss of performance shifting and "lightning bolt" symbol. I have to coast to pull over to the side of the road and restart the engine to get moving again. The last time it occurred, I had a truck behind me. Luckily I was moving fast enough and was able to get out of the way without being involved in an accident. I have had the car into the local chrylser dealership on multiple occasions where they have thought they have found the problem in an electrical connector. It is currently in the shop again and has been for the past month and they still can't figure out the problem.

Electrical fire originating in the console while the car was at rest but occupied at a gas station . The fire department extinguished the fire and disconnected the battery to prevent a fire re start . Chrysler denied any responsibility saying that the vehicle left the factory defect free . The car has been declared a total loss as a result of this fire . I don't have a way to scan and upload pictures or documents but I have the fire department report and can provide pictures or any other required documentation .
The vehicle is continuing to have these defaults as shown in pictures I'm experiencing more defaults in this vehicle and that I was told that there is no recall for chrylser cars and that I'm afraid of either getting hurt or someone else getting hurt maybe even killed due to these faulty issues that needs to be checking and that I don't have any kind of warranty on this vehicle.
2015 chrysler 200 driving the vehicle on multiple occasions, at least 10 to count the vehicle has randomly lost power and the engine fails. At this point I'm terrified to drive the vehicle for which I just purchased three months ago on the highway this vehicle would be a death trap. Furthermore the vehicle passenger side airbag light is illuminated indicating that it will not comply I've called chrysler end the chevy dealer for which I purchase the vehicle and they told me there's no recall and it appears that my warranty will not pay for the car to get fixed.
Transmission is shifting hard take out of gear while I am moving
I was on the highway and the car stalled several times. I sat on the side lane and turned the car off for a minute. I started it up again and proceeded to get off the highway the car accelerated less than 20 miles per hour. My daughter and I were terrified before the car stopped suddenly and cars had to break behind us to avoid hitting the car. I had to put the car in park and put my hazard lights on and it took a while for the car to start up again for me to pull on the side of the highway. It has done this more than just this incident. At stop lights and while driving on the street the engine will stall and take a minute to start up again.
Recall on electrical surge issue performed on 4/6/2017; since then my air bag icon and bell goes off and on and power steering icon pops on dash.

While driving the car on a city street ~ 30 MPH, it dies. Tells me to shift to park and restart. Did this 3 times in a row. Each time I try to restart it sputters and acts like it won't restart. Was able to get to a parking lot less than a block away.
This morning when I was driving with my 2 year old daughter, my car had major failures. While driving on a highway (us-46), the anti-lock brakes failed first, then went the power steering next. Luckily I was able to pull off the road in time before getting crushed by a tractor trailer. Funny thing is, I knew this was coming. I called my local dealership on wednesday to tell them I suspected my car was going to have the same issues others have had. My car started shaking quite a bit when I was drinking on tuesday 2/21/17. When you research this for this model, you'll find all sorts of scary stories, like mine today. When I called the dealer's service department I was totally blown off, treated like a moron, and told they could see me on march 7. Helpful, right? So I made an appointment at another dealership for tomorrow morning 2/25/17. Alas, I didn't make it. This is a very serious issue. Had I been driving on an interstate, this could have resulted in a major accident. I just hope someone reads this and understands 1. This is not the first person it happened to and 2. This issue is going to kill someone. I escaped with my life today. Others may not.
