Defect. Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Sebring and 200 vehicles manufactured June 28, 2011, through December 13, 2012; model year 2011-2013 Dodge Avenger vehicles manufactured June 25, 2011, through January 14, 2013; model year 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro vehicles manufactured June 17, 2011, through December 15, 2011; and model year 2011-2012 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured June 17, 2011, through August 15, 2012. Electrical over-stress of a resistor in the occupant restraint control module may lead to the non-deployment of the active head restraints during a rear impact collision.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating the deployment of the active head restraints , their non-deployment could increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will flash the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) or replace the occupant restraint control module, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N38.

MY THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT WAS DUE TO COLD WEATHER. THEY MADE AN APPT. FOR ME TO COME IN A WEEK LATER. A FEW DAYS AFTER I CALLED THEM ABOUT THE LIGHTS BEING ON IN MY CAR I WAS PULLING OUT OF A CONVENIENT STORE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR ON A BUSY ROAD, I WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS WELL AS THE BREAKS AND CARS WERE COMING AT US AT 40MPH. MY CAR KEPT ROLLING INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PULL THE E-BREAK TO TRY TO STOP ROLLING. I BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE POLICE HAD TO BE CALLED BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD MY CAR TOWED AND I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS ARE NOW OFF ON THE DASH BUT MY BRAKES SEEM TO BE PUSHING UP WHEN I PRESS DOWN. NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS BUT I DON'T FEEL THE BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
