2015 Chrysler 200 Complaints: What Owners Actually Filed
Owners of the 2015 Chrysler 200 filed 1,983 complaints with NHTSA; the electrical system leads with 38% of them, ahead of the power train at 35%. That's a count of reports, not a rate: a model that sold in large numbers files more complaints than a rare one with a worse record, and nothing in the file knows how many were sold. Use it to decide what to inspect before buying, not to grade the car.
The 2015 Chrysler 200 problems owners filed, by system
| System | Complaints | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical system | 746 | 38% |
| Power train | 688 | 35% |
| Engine | 605 | 31% |
| Air bags | 326 | 16% |
| Vehicle speed control | 157 | 8% |
Vehicles with fewer than 10 complaints aren't in the file at all, so a system missing from this table drew fewer reports than the ones shown, not none. A further 275 named no system, or one the form calls other.
Is it this year, or the model line?
No other model year of the Chrysler 200 has the electrical system named most. Whatever this is, it's not the whole model line.
The whole Chrysler picture, every system by model year, is on the Chrysler brand page.
Recalls to check before you buy
The one part of this page that is a verdict rather than a count: recall campaigns are the manufacturer's own admission, filed with the regulator. The list is by model year, not by car; whether a particular car had the work done is in the dealer's records, or in NHTSA's VIN lookup through our decoder.

What this page doesn't know
How many were sold. The file counts reports, not cars, so a popular model looks worse than a rare one with the same problem.
Whether your car has it. A share of complaints isn't a probability for one vehicle. It says which system to have inspected, and which service records to ask for.
Who filed. Filing is voluntary, and a recall or a news story sends owners to the form in numbers a quiet year never sees.
What it costs to fix. Nothing on this page is a repair price. The site's cost articles are censused on specific cars, not on this file.
