Issue #1) 2015 Chrysler 200 looses power and goes dead in the middle of the road. Shift gear to park light comes on as it goes dead. Vehicle has done this repeatedly. I've replaced battery, the keyfob battery, and had the oil changed. Issue#2) The passenger airbag alarm is indicating problems with the airbag. Issue #3) Vehicle is an automatic, but exhibits stalling when shifting at sporadic and intermittent times since purchase date. #Summary - It is highly likely the repairs from the Chrysler 200 recalls were either never performed or the VIN to the Chrysler 200 I drive was not included in the recalls. Please help resolve this as soon as possible.

BOUGHT MY CAR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL PRE OWNED CAR DEALERSHIP, SOON AFTER MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THEIR MECHANIC WOULDN'T FIX IT WITHOUT TRYING TO CHARGE ME EVEN THOUGH I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 4 YEAR WARRANTY. IT'S STILL NOT FIXED AFTER TWO YEARS, I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT, AND NOW I'M FINDING OUT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE ISSUE AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER FIXED BUT THEY SAID IT WAS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANY KIND OF REPAIR, I'VE BEEN ABSOLUTELY DUPED BY THIS DEALERSHIP AND IM FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY LOVED ONES WHEN I DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD KILL MY LOVED ONES AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

LIGHT CAME IN THE DAY I GOT THE CAR AS I WAS LEAVING THE LOT AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR IT. ALSO THE CAR KEEPS STALLING. HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED, WHICH IS RUNNING ALMOST LIKE BRAND NEW. THE CAR STILL STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. NO LIGHTS ARE ON IT WILL JUST HAPPEN, AGAIN, WITH NO WARNINGS. EVERYTHING GETS LOCKED UP AND I CAN'T EVEN PUT THE CAR IN NEURAL TO BACK IT OUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE CAR CAN BARELY HANDLE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT OF 70, THE BUMPS OR GROVES IN THE ROAD ALMOST FEEL LIKE IT'S PUSHING THE CAR AND IT WILL SPIN OUT (THIS IS IN DRY WARM WEATHER). I'VE CHECKED THE TIRES THEY ARE FINE. THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED. THE CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR YOUR PHONES DON'T ALWAYS WORK, IT'S OFF AND ON. THE CHARGERS WORK JUST FINE IN THE HOUSE SO IT'S NOT THE CORDS ITSELF. WAS SHOWN THE CARFAX BEFORE BUYING AND THERE ARE NO ACCIDENT REPORTS.

18V332000 · Electrical System:software; Electrical System:wiring; Vehicle Speed Control:cruise Control

May 17, 2018

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

RQ15004 · Software Security Vulnerability

Opened Jul 24, 2015 · Closed Jan 5, 2016

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:software

On July 23, 2015, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) launched Safety Recall 15V-461 to remedy security vulnerabilities in approximately 1.4 million model year (MY) 2013 through 2015 vehicles equipped with Uconnect head units (HU) 8.4A (RA3 radio) and 8.4AN (RA4 radio) manufactured by Harman International.On July 24, 2015, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query, RQ 15-004, to investigate HU security vulnerabilities and remedy effectiveness in the recalled population and to determine whether similar units have been supplied for use in other FCA vehicles.In an August 11, 2015 letter, FCA submitted a second Part 573 safety recall report expanding the scope of the Uconnect RA4 model radio to include additional 7,810 MY 2015 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured from September 18, 2014 through June 25, 2015 (Recall 15V-508).Scope analysis indicated that Uconnect radios installed in FCA vehicles not included in recalls 15V-461 or 15V-508 (subject recalls) are not equipped with built-in cellular access or short range wireless communication features and, thus, do not contain the security vulnerabilities addressed by the subject recalls. SUBJECT VEHICLES: MY2014 through 2015 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Cherokee sport utility vehicles; MY2013 through 2015 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500/5500 pickup trucks; MY2013 through 2015 Dodge Viper vehicles; and MY2015 Chrysler 200, 300, Jeep Renegade, Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles.According to FCA, long and short range wireless vulnerabilities identified in the recalled vehicles could allow unauthorized third-party access to, and manipulation of, networked vehicle control systems.Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities, coupled with reverse engineering of networked microprocessor control modules, could result in unauthorized manipulation of vehicle control systems. This unauthorized manipulation of vehicle controls and systems could expose the driver, vehicle occupants or other highway users to an increased risk of injury.FCA and its network provider, Sprint, conducted a nationwide campaign to block access to a radio communications port that was unintentionally left open.On July 27, 2015, short range wireless vulnerabilities were also blocked.Finally, third party security evaluation and regression testing identified vulnerabilities that were either remedied by Sprint or through updates to the FCA Uconnect software.ODI identified a total of 30 complaints or field reports on unique vehicles submitted by FCA (29) or received by NHTSA (1) alleging incidents of theft from a vehicle or anomalous performance that the owner alleged were caused by, or may have been caused by, remote hacking.Twenty-six (87%) of these reports were submitted after a magazine article was published on July 21, 2015, describing the remote hacking of an FCA vehicle by researchers who were able to affect the operation of various vehicle control systems, including the service brakes, steering, throttle and ignition.Most of the complaints involved vehicle systems that were not safety critical (e.g., complaints related to radio, navigation system, or air-conditioning control) and did not affect vehicle control.Three complaints reported engine stalls.One owner reported sudden unintended acceleration allegedly related to hacking.None of the complaints or field reports reviewed involved the steering and braking vehicle control effects demonstrated by the research hackers prior to the recall.There were no confirmed incidents of hacking in any of the records reviewed by ODI.The remedies completed by Sprint and FCA appear to have eliminated vulnerabilities that mi
