2016 CHRYSLER 200 Air Bags Problems

Service airbag system My car doesn’t start

My airbag sensor has randomly come on and off for about 2 years, it sense cut off and stayed off up until recently in early 2025 the “service passenger airbag” sensor comes on and stays on which affects the ability to pass a state inspection in Virginia.

My air bag light has been flickering on and off for quite some time now. I’ve taken it to a professional mechanic as well as Gerber and they have both fixed the issue by unplugging and replugging the harness underneath the passenger seat. I was told this issue with this type of Chrysler has been brought by the shop numerous times and I may have missed a recall repair on this vehicle. I have repeated this method numerous of times but at this point it is an inconvenience and safety issue. How am I able to receive a recall notice to get this issue fixed? I can be contacted via email [XXX] . Respectfully, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle has 46,000 miles on odometer. A year ago the "Service Airbag System" light would intermittently illuminate. It is now staying lit all the time. I was speaking with an acquaintance as they had the same vehicle. Theirs caught on fire under the seat in the electrical connection box for the airbag. I took it to a few of our local mechanics and they say it is a substantial safety issue as they pulled the codes B0028-13 and B0020-13. Right side and left side seat deployment squib circuit open. The airbags will not deploy upon impact. The consensus from the mechanics was that Chrysler has known this is a common problem in these vehicles and needs to address the repair. After calling Chrysler and finding out they do know this is a problem in design it will still cost $4000.00 to repair as it's not covered under warranty. This vehicle is unsafe and it makes me wonder how many people are driving these vehicles not knowing the potential danger. It will be going to the dealership when one of them can "fit me in".

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated, and the message "Service Air Bag" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the failure might be a factory defect; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

Air bag light comes on. We have had it checked by 3 different technicians. They have found that it is an issue with the control module, and seat squibs need to be replaced. This is a $4000 issue that is directly related to the safety of the driver of the car. They said it looks to be a manufacturing issue but unfortunately is not covered by the extended warranty that we purchased.

The airbag Service light keeps coming on. There has been no accidents to this vehicle. There was a airbag safety recall on Chrysler 2016, but when I contacted Chrysler, they said my vehicle fell out of the date range that they assigned the recall to it was manufactured before a certain date reference number 90517639. Chrysler should be responsible to ensure that buyers are safe in their vehicles and they need to help get this issue corrected

B0028-13 is the code that appears when a scanner tool is used because the "service airbag system" warning message came on. Reading the other U-Tube post concerning this problem it seems to be common and a possible danger to the driver and the front passenger.

I was unable to stop fast enough and went through a red light and t boned another car. My airbags failed to go off. Everyone, including the police officer was shocked that they did not deploy.

Electrical system under the seats smoked and went out for the air bags. Cost me $2,200 dollars out of pocket. I am on Social Security. Can't afford such dept. Brakes are sluggish and can't be trusted to stop quickly. Power Train ,Electrical System,Engine not safe. Electrical system, Service Brakes, Forward Collision Avoidance System needs to be looked at and replace if needed.

I was crossing over and intersection and another lady was speeding playing on her phone and didn't realize she had a stop sign and hit me directly in the driver side door she was driving a 2007 Chevy Tahoe SUV as well my car was deemed a total loss and not one of my air bags came out.

Wire connector under the passenger seat disables the airbag and turns on the SRS light with the code B0028-13 Right side Airbag circuit open. I have noticed that FCA is aware of the problem as the fix is to replace the wire Connectors under the seat. As an alignment mechanic I am in and out of a lot of vehicles and just about all of the 2015 to 2017 Chrysler 200s I have worked on have this code, some also have B0020-13 which is the left side seat air bag circuit open.

Airbag light has came on with dealership replacing the wiring harness under the seat twice. The light is now on for a third time. After online forum research, I learned that wiggling the wiring connections can get the connection back and airbag light to go away. It worked. Numerous complaints of loose wiring. Purchased the vehicle brand new currently with 125k miles. First repair was free. Second was out of warranty and I had to pay for parts.

My car only has 24,778 miles on it and a message came up " SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM" The dealership says that it will be around $1500 to fix. Is this still under warranty?

I've had several issues with the airbag warning light coming on telling me to service the airbag. While the car was covered under the warranty the dealership replaced the part at least three times and eventually told me to stop digging under my driver seat as the wiring harness for the air bags was located there. As anyone with kids may know that isn't the easiest thing to do. Bit even more alarming is the fact that if there is an accident my airbags may malfunction since the warning light is on. And the cost to get it fixed it way to high for me to pay especially knowing that it's just going to happen again in a few months since it's already been replaced a number of times.

The airbag light comes on constantly, it puts MYSELF or anyone who is in my car at risk. It says to check the airbag and the wiring under the seat is the problem. It's loose. I constantly have to wiggle it for it to go away and a dealership wants to charge 300 dollars for a diagnosis and repair. If I crash, I feel as if the airbag will not deploy and it seems a lot of people online have the same issue when googling the problems.

My car gave me a service airbag message when I started it on July 31st. I already had an appointment scheduled with a Chrysler dealer to resolve an unrelated recall issue, so I asked them to look into what was causing the airbag issue, as well. They told me that the jumper wiring needed to be replaced on both sides of the vehicle in order to resolve diagnostic code B0020-13. They quoted me over $2,800.00 to fix the issue and told me that my airbags would not go off if I were to get in an accident unless the repairs were made. I am unable to afford this, so I contacted FHA customer service to seek cost assistance, but was told my car is too far out of warranty. My car only has 78,000 miles, so I should not have any safety issues with it. I was told by the technician that this is a common problem with my vehicle. Seeing as this is a safety issue and it is a common issue, I believe it is worth investigating to determine if it is caused by a manufacturing defect. I, like most people, cannot afford this costly of a repair, so I am putting my life at risk each time I drive my car, which I now know will not deploy the safety bags if I get in an accident. To make matters worse, I had to pay a $150.00 diagnostics fee just to find this out.

Purchased this used 2016 Chrysler 200 from Dan Derry in Cedar Falls. The next day my son was driving this car the air bag light came on. Contacted dealer and they were not aware of any air bag issues with this car and told us we bought AS IS. From what I am reading on line Chrysler has know about this for some time. I see this has a huge safety issue that sounds like it is pretty expensive to fix. And even the people that have forked over the money to fix are still having issues. Took this to our mechanic and they are suggesting to take to dealer as there is a TSB on this issue. Not sure why a safety issue that has nothing to do with how the car is driven but how it was manufactured ends up being the responsibility of the sucker that bought the used car off a dealers lot.

My service airbag light comes on and off frequently. sometimes it'll be on when i start my car, and the it'll turn off again when i make a turn, adjust my seat, etc. its a strong belief that im having the underseat wire harness issue that many others are having. i have yet to take it to a mechanic to have it looked at as i don't readily have the money to repair an issue, especially considering I've seen a few people say they have this issue addressed repeatedly. this is a major safety concern and i fear if i happen to get into an accident that my airbag will not deploy because of it.

A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND HAD THEM CHECK INTO THE AIRBAG SITUATION. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT WIRING HARNESS FOR THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL NOT BE COVERED SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $1200.00. I DO NOT BELIEVE AS A CUSTOMER I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ITS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE AIRBAG OR HARNESS TO WHERE I WOULD OF DAMAGED IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND PURCHASING VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 30 + YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY SUCH ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO SUCCESS INTO TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ON THIS AND SEEKING TO SEE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE IN THIS SITUATION. CHRYSLER CANNOT EVEN ADVISE WHICH AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE IN THIS TIME AND AGE WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDED. I FIND THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE PRO ACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THIS REPAIR BEFORE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TO CAUSE POSSIBLE HARM OR EVEN CASUALTIES.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE MONTH OUT OF NO WHERE AT FIRST IT WOULD COME OFF AND ON NOW IT'S ON CONSTANTLY

ONE MINUTE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL BE ON THEN THE NEXT IT WILL BE OFF. IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE EVERY TIME SOMEONE SITS THERE OR MOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF. I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET FOR ANY RECALLS BUT DIDN'T SEE ANY. I DID NOTICE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ON EITHER BOTH, OR JUST ONE SIDE OF THE CAR. IT'S NOT JUST ME HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2019 AROUND 25000 MILES. IN OCTOBER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON . I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND JEEP WHO CHARGED OVER $3300 TO FIX . THEY SAID THEY TALKED TO CHRYSLER WHO WOULD COVER $3000 AND I HAD TO PAY THE $300. I DID THAT AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT POPS UP EVER COUPLE MINUTES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING 15 MPH OR 60 MPH.

AIR BAGS LIGHTS COMES ON INDICATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS ONLY CAME ON AFTER I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THERE'S A RED WARNING LIGHT THAT THAT AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIONAL ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AT JEFF WYLER EAST GATE IN BATAVIA OHIO 45102 513-7523447. I ALSO HAD TO PUT THE SAME 200 S IN THE SHOP FOR A MASSIVE OIL LEAK THAT ONCE I NOTICED IT AND THEN HAD IT CHECKED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISOR THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE 3.6 L ENGINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE THAT THERE WAS A TSB OR SOMETHING ON IT SO I DROPPED IT OF AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION TO FIND OUT MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER CRACKED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $200 LIFETIME WARRANTY I HAD ON THE CAR. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS THERE'S A ENGINE LIGHT ON THAT INDICATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH I HAD MENTIONED TO THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR THE SWEET BUNGENT ODOR THAT I SMELLED COMING OUT OF MY VENTS AT 5 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY BY 50 MILES ON MY ODOMETER AND NOW AT 66700 IT'S BACK AND WAS NOTICE BY THE DISCOUNT TIRE SHOP TELL ME THEY SMELLED A STRONG COOLENT LEAK AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO FIND IF THERE WAS A ISSUE THAT THAT HAD ALREADY TOLD ME WAS THERE AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 5 MILES AND WOULD GO AWAY AT 50 ! TO BE HONEST I JUST BELIEVE I GOT USE TO IT!!!

VEHICLE WENT IN FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TWICE RIGHT BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTH TIMES. JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 75K MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ADVISED THE WHOLE WIRING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED. GOT IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO STATED THEY ARE WILLING TO ONLY PAY FOR THE $1200+ PART BUT THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400 IN LABOR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON. TYPICALLY WHEN ENCOUNTERING A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE. SAFFORD JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN WINCHESTER VA IS THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CONTINUED SERVICE AT THE SAME LOCATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND CURRENTLY THERE AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. IF THIS CAN BE SETTLED IN ANY MANNER, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER PROVIDE A REFUND FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND RUNNING.

FOR ABOUT 30K MILES NOW MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN CHARGE MUCH, MUCH MORE TO "FIX" THE AIRBAGS. WHY ARE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED NOT ALWAYS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A THIRD PARTY TECH THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND CHRYSLER SEEMS TO THINK OUR SAFETY IS NOT WORTH COVERING THIS ISSUE.

THE SENSOR THAT IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, SIGNALLING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AS A CONNECTION BECOMES LOOSE AND WILL DIS-ATTACH. THIS WILL ALERT MY CAR TO SERVICE AIRBAGS

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2019. VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE CAR IS AT COLLEGE, OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN HER AREA WILL NOT FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE BECAUSE THE VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I'M AT A LOSS SINCE THE COST OF REPAIR IS HIGH. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SHE IS GOING TO SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIPS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY BE HURT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM-FREE? THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CAR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON OR ABOUT THE DATE LISTED BELOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY 200 VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIR BAG LIGHT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, ABOUT MAY, 2016. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED SO I IGNORED IT. THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AFTER MAY, 2016 DATE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE LIGHT. IT REMAINS ON TO THIS DATE. REPAIR ON TIRE THAT SHOWED A LIGHT WAS REFUSED ON JUNE 7, 2017. THIS TIRE LIGHT REMAINS A PROBLEM. NOW, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT STALLING AND WILL NOT RUN WHEN IT RAINS. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE BLOCKED BECAUSE I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS TO GO UPHILL AFTER IT STALLS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. NOW, I WARM THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES TO SHOW THE ENGINE IS READY. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FAILED EMISSION TESTING IN SEPT. 2019. THE TUNE UP DONE THIS MONTH DID NOT HELP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MATTERS CAUSED THE EMISSION TESTING TO FAIL. MY COMPLAINT IS DIRECTED TO THE GAS PROBLEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR ALONG WITH THE TIRE LIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING, A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND WE WERE TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH A PLUG UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WHICH BENDS EASILY. IT WAS FIXED, BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE ON VARIOUS SITES SUCH AS GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE PLUG SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
