The front passenger seat headrest deployed without notice or accident striking my wife in the head. There was no collision or impact in any way. I had just pulled out into the road and while accelerating I heard a noise sounding like a spring under pressure uncoiling. We were going approximately 20 MPH. My wife screamed as the headrest struck the back of her head. It hit with enough force to give her a headache for a couple hours.

The passenger headrest deployed/ snapped forward on its own while driving. There was no passenger, therefore no injury.

Is there a recall of any kind by chrysler?

Good afternoon, to whom this may concern. My vehicle has the air bag light on and I have been going to the dealer ship to get this taken care of and every time I have gone to the dealer they are telling me I have to pay for them to remove the air bag light when a recall was in place for the occupant restraint controller, they fixed that issue but the issue of the air bag still remains. They are asking me to pay $139.00 for them to find the issue and then pay another extra amount to resolve this matter. They are refusing to fix this issue without a cost and it has been way too long trying to get this resolved.
Airbag light is on from a while, after checking the error codes, due head set restraint controller. Not sure what to do
The passenager head restraint system is throwing an error they cannot figure out. The local service department, and chrysler's star team (engineers) cannot figure out the problem. They have had my car for five weeks. It's time for them to replace the defective vehicle.

8-21-2017 had a recall preformed for a airbag issue. After the repair was done there was still a code in the system for the driver active headrest control circuit open. I had already investigated the airbag light ( march 2017) and found many sites stating a broken wire in drivers seat. When I got the car home I finally investigate the wire issue and found the black wire approximately 2 inches before a yellow connector where a plastic stretcher was applied broken inside the fiber covering of the 2 wires. I was a mechanic for 30 years so I stripped the wires and reattached. The light is still on so I am thinking when it broke or what ever it caused a system issue and that this was a known issue and should be repaired by chrysler at no charge. This vehicle has been one of the best chrysler products I have owned. The service technician said it could cost around 400 to fix.
