2016 Chrysler Town and Country airbags problems

Filed Aug 11, 2025 · Airbags · IN

Passenger side headrest deployed. Vehicle was not involved in a accident. Was parked at the time. Is available for inspection. No one was hurt, but I'm now afraid that the driver side headrest may deploy while I'm driving and could cause me to have an accident. There was not warning or indication that headrest was faulty or ready to deploy.

Driver side headrest deployed (AHR system) while driving at a speed of 55 mph with no accident. Driver bit tongue while driving. I have found many complaints of this issue online. Vehicle hasn't been inspected at this time since it happened a little over a week ago while on vacation. There were no warning signs that it was going to happen. Just purchased this 2016 Chrysler Town and County a little over a month ago and now have this repair to consider of a faulty "safety" system.

Front end accident-airbags did not deploy

Filed Jul 17, 2023 · Airbags · FL · 1 injury

While driving my vehicle my driver's side headrest exploded without being in an accident. I received no warning from Chrysler about the headrests being faulty. They left driving that unsafe vehicle with the exploded headrest for over 7 months this before replacing it and refuse to replace the passenger one as well stating, "we will only replace that if it explodes during the extended warranty period for it and yours is almost up." They currently still have my vehicle at the dealership. They clearly want to see a car accident occur knowing that headrest could go off at any moment and was made and installed the sane time as the drivers side.

On 1/02/2023, I was getting in the van and the driver side active headrest popped open. The vehicle was parked and was turned off when this happened. I searched online to see how to fix it and many customers have the same complaint and forums recommended that I report this to the federal safety agency. Please let me know if you need pictures or any other information.

My son was seated in the front passenger seat on his phone. The car was parked and not on. He was waiti for for me to get in. In his words the "head rest shot out" at him. Sure enough when I entered the van the head rest was deployed. I asked him if he sat down roo hard, was jumping around, anything that the van could have confused as a Collison. He said no, he was sitting like normal waiting for me playing on his phone. And then pow!

On 9/3/20, I was involved in an accident where the driver who crashed into me ran a red light while I was making a left hand turn off the offramp at sahara ave. To go west in las vegas, nv. The estimated impact from the other vehicle was that he was doing about 45mph, this totaled my left drivers side and caused me to have a fractured clavicle and #2 rib, which I was rushed to umc trauma, las vegas, by ambulance. The problem is none of my air bags deployed from this crash and I'm wondering if there is defective equipment. The accident case #200900200 from the nhp is at their southern command, 702‑486‑4100. The other driver was cited for running a red light causing injury. My insurance co. Has totaled the vehicle and now wants to salvage it, they are farmers ins., so you might contact them to save any evidence you may need.
