driver's seat headrest deployed while I was driving. I cannot put it back in place because some internal plastic parts have broken off. The passenger seatbelt sensor keeps going off as if the passenger has not buckled the seat belt. The sensor on that same seat keeps going off even if there's no one sitting on that seat.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Multiple issues, passenger window is a very common issue, looked on YouTube and found many videos for it was able to jump with direct power to the pigtail using wires and a battery and was able to roll it up but no explanation for why it ends up having this issue, heater core also a consistent issue, it is obvious with passenger side goes cold and 95% of the fix is a new heater core. Headrests popping, had the safety recall done 02chz28 (Recall S61) and never was mentioned or brought up by local dealer, both seatbelts are not functioning properly, passenger side is the worst, locks up and both are running along the plastic causing it to become deformed and wearing on the edges of the belts. Vehicle has obvious replacements on the front but no accident history. Hood is a different vin number and grill is not original from factory. I found the original photo of the car's first sale post. Odd malfunction is washer fluid can run out with no indicator being triggered for low fluid.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that his son parked the vehicle, and as he disengaged the seat belt and was exiting the vehicle, the air bag headrest inadvertently deployed and hit him on the back of the head. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The contact referenced the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 17V640000 (Seats, Air Bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.
On 6/16/2018, I was involved in a highway accident when traveling south and a deer ran out across from the north side of the highway crashing right into the front drivers side of my vehicle then flew up in the and crashed down right threw my windshield while I was traveling at a rate of speed of 50 MPH. I was severely injured since my seatbelts failed to restrain me and none of my airbags deployed at the time of the accident. However, months after vehicle was repaired following deer collision the airbag spontaneously deployed and I suffered secondary injury. I need some answers on why I wanted notified about the recall before now. I just received the letter regarding recall on the vehicle's airbags and seatbelts two years later! This is unacceptable. I have plenty of photos however need to upload, please contact me. Thank you
Car stalling while driving called recall said that my car doesn't go but it's losted under my recall
Seat belt on front passenger side retention locks. The dealership had to take out front seat to get the car seat back in normal operation.
Adjusted the electrical mirror then shortly after adjustment smoke started to roll out from under the buttons of the window controllers and melted them slightly (driver and passenger front window buttons) the vehicle was in motion and then stationary due to we had to exit the vehicle due to be overcome with smoke. We were turning off a highway to a residential street. We then was able to get back into the car when there was little smoke and continue 1/2 mile to the home were staying at. Window's will not roll up or down now. Due to the smoke, I am afraid to drive my vehicle back to michigan from wisconsin in a week. Also, the front passenger seat belt does not lock onto the restraint lock. Why did it not blow a fuse before it started smoking?
Air bag and seat belt recall but I have yet been notified to go for the replacement. I recall I signed up online to get notified but that hasn't happened.
I received the recall notice for my vehicle and took it to the dealer, vatland chrysler dodge in vero beach, fl, on 8/29/2017 who determined which modules needed replacement related to my recall (s61/the federal safety agency 16v‑668). I am told by the dealer that the parts required are backlogged nationwide. It has been over 7 months since I initially received the recall notice. This issue is not being addressed in a timely manner. Passengers in my vehicle continue to be at risk. When will the parts be available?
Safety recall s61 / the federal safety agency 16v‑668. This was already fixed and completed by the ewald chrysler dealership in franklin wi, phone 414‑369‑4552 a couple months ago. The website indicates this recall is still outstanding and I received a notice in the mail just last week. Could you please fix the website to show this has been resolved. This way your records will be correct and I will no longer receive mail about the s61 recall. Thank you so much! P.s. I already sent an email through the 'mopar' website today as well.
