PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST FALLS APART EXPOSING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ON 10/01/2019 DEALER STATES AIRBAG NEEDS REPLACED AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. DEALER REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER SAID THE PART ALONE WOULD BE $550 TO FIX - THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND ULTIMATELY, SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED! I'M PLANNING ON TRADING IN MY CAR IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO AVOID MORE ISSUES LIKE THIS; TERRIBLE TERRIBLE COMPANY.

I DO NOT HAVE AN TAKATA RECALL LETTER, HOWEVER MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AS I AM DRIVING. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR A SENSOR OR ANYTHING CONCERNING THE LIGHT, SO I HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.

ATC TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SENDING POWER AND GROUND TO THE LEFT SIDE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, SO THE HEAT AND DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN CONDITIONS WARRANT THE DEFOGGER IS NEEDED. DURING ADVERSE WEATHER ON 8/24 (UNSEASONABLY COOL AND RAINING IN CENTRAL NC), I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND AS NOTED, THE DEFOGGER ISN'T WORKING.

WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AFTER STARTING IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ALSO AT A STOP POSITION ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT USING THE GAS PEDDLE. ALSO ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC INDICATOR PERIODICALLY COME ON. THEY NEVER STAY ON BUT CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ! YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND HOPE YOU DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.. OWNERS MANUAL MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF AFTER YOU CYCLE THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVING THE CAR. WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP SOON. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS VERY SCAREY SITUATION

MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST HAD BEEN FALLING DOWN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A BOOM. I WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS PARKED. THEN I FOUND THE HEADREST HAD PUSHED OUT TOTALLY, STUCK OUT BY A PIECE OF METAL. I COULD NOT PUSH IT BACK. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST OVER $450.00 TO RESET IT OR GET A NEW ONE. I TRIED TO PULL THE WHOLE HEADREST OUT, BUT IT DOES NOT COME OUT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CARS UP TO 2013. BUT MINE IS A 2014. DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE HEADRESTS. I'VE HEARD THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE ONE MORE YEAR TO PAY FOR IT. I AM NOT TRADING IT IN. I FEEL CHRSYLER SHOULD FIX THIS. FOR FREE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP TWICE, THE SEAL BEHIND THE GAS CAP AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH, CUTTING OUT AND JERKING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

THE CAR HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT SOME UNWANTED FUMES AND EXHAUST EMISSIONS AT CERTAIN TIMES AS WELL.

I'VE NEVER HAD IN ISSUES IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN FINANCING THIS VEHICLE. I'M STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATES IT WAS THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $4800. AS AN MILITARY VETERAN I AM ON A SET INCOME AND I'M NOT ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME TO EXPLORE OPTIONS IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

I AM STARTING TO GET AGGRAVATED AND CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING . I AM REGRETTING THAT I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER SND DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. I USE TO THINK HIGHLY OF CHRYSLER AND THEIR PRODUCTS BUT DEALING WITH THIS AND CAUSING A MAJOR HEADACHE HAS CHANGED MIND TO NOT BUY AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED, MY MOM HAS THE SAME RECALL ON HER FORD AND FORD IS PAYING FOR HER TO HAVE A RENTAL WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR HERS TO BE FIXED. THAT TO ME TELLS HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR 2 YEARS WITH THIS RECALL JUST FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE. IF I COULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND BE ABLE TO GET ME DIFFERENT VEHICLE LIKE A FORD, CHEVY I WOULD. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

CAR WAS DROVE 46 MILES TO WORK. WHEN EXITING CAR, FOR NO REASON THE HEAD REST SPLITS INTO TWO PIECES.

I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN I HEARD A STARTLING BANG THAT CAME FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I SAW THAT THE HEADREST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED SEVERAL SMALL PIECES OF BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. UPON EXAMINING THE HEADREST, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE PLASTIC WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD A 2"-3" SILVER METAL RETAINING ROD HAD FAILED. THAT SILVER METAL ROD IS STILL ENGAGED IN THE ELECTRONIC LOCK/RELEASE MECHANISM ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. THE PLASTIC PIECES ON THE SEAT WERE FROM THAT ROD RETAINER. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE HEAT OF THE ARIZONA SUMMERS ARE CAUSING THE HEADREST PLASTIC COMPONENTS TO WEAKEN. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, OR THE BEGINNING OF A TREND. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF IT WAS THE DRIVERS HEADREST THAT FAILED, HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. UNEXPECTEDLY GETTING HIT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! MY CHRYSLER 200 HAD 38,110 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED; IT IS BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST IS STILL INSTALLED IN THE CAR. IT APPEARS THE CHRYSLER PART NUMBER IS 68065766AA; MANUFACTURED BY GRAMMER (IN GERNAMY) AND THEIR PART NUMBER IS 1192441. REMOVING THE HEADRESTS TURN ON THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR. AS I STATED EARLIER, I FEAR THAT THE DRIVER HEADREST MAY ALSO FAIL AT ANY TIME AND RESULTS IN A SERIOUS A

AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200. IT'S A $1,400 FIX. FOR A MAJOR SYSTEM TO GO IN 3 YEARS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD HELD LIABLE FOR IT.
