Suspension on other 200 years
No other 200 model year has enough reports of suspension for a sheet of its own. See every 200 year.
What this problem usually is
Suspension complaints are mostly about noise and handling: a clunk over bumps, a car that pulls to one side, a ride that bounces or leans more than it used to. The more serious reports describe a part breaking or coming loose, and that's where the recalls in this group are concentrated.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the struts or shocks (19 reports), the control arm (8 reports) and the bushing (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the suspension system covers the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Due to an insufficient weld, the rear shocks may detach from the vehicle at one end and possibly damage other chassis components, the tire or result in reduced braking.

When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 28,700 and 68,000 miles, from the 34 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 2 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Chrysler 200 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Air Suspension Components Star Parts Catalog has been updated to show individual service parts for the compressor assembly. This will allow service technicians to repair the root cause without over repairing the system.
Rear trailing arm/link. Customer noise issue due to loose trailing link If a trailing link is damaged or noisy, please call Steve Lin at Cell 909-569-5117 prior to removing the part. If you do not hear from us within 15 minutes please continue with the repair.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 7 of 59 reports involved a crash and 4 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
