Overview

2014 Chrysler 200

The 2014 Chrysler 200 offers a comfortable ride and a potent 3.6L V6 option, but its below-average reliability verdict and a high volume of owner complaints warrant careful consideration for used-car shoppers. Key areas of concern include the airbag and seatbelt systems, engine performance, and electrical components. While it provides decent fuel economy for its class, potential buyers must prioritize thorough inspections.

Critical Failure Risk

Complaints indicate issues with the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module potentially short-circuiting, leading to non-deployment of airbags and seat belt pretensioners. This is a critical safety defect.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
