Seat belts: pretensionerReported September 15, 2016 · 1,435,625 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2010 Chrysler Sebring, 2010-2012 Dodge Caliber and 2010-2014 Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Avenger vehicles. The Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying in the event of a crash.
Risk
If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.
Remedy
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the OCR, free of charge. Interim letters informing owners that parts are not available yet were mailed on October 26, 2016. The recall began on August 15, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S61.

Driver side seat belt latch is not latching to the buckle. While putting seat belt on it disengages from the latch system completely. Several attempts to re-secure the buckle into the latch continues to allow the seat buckle to become unlatched. Extremely unsettling as while operating my vehicle knowing my seat belt comes undone at any time. Nothing is touching the buckle or latch system to cause the unbuckle at any time. Have checked by looking into the latch system to ensure no debris is inside.

Active headrest restraint system deployed while vehicle was parked in the driveway. Vehicle was parked in the driveway overnight, the following day we noticed that the headrest had sprung forward. Upon inspecting the headrest system I noticed that the retaining pin was still engaged in the retaining mechanism and that it had sprung because the plastic that holds the retaining pin had broken.

Right now it doesn't run because the brain went out while I was driving back to work from lunch. There's no response to the vehicle and the other day it completely stopped dead while I was driving 65 on my way home from work. To top my matters off with this vehicle it's had the cruise control recalled and replaced and many other parts it's a terrible vehicle. To top my stress with it my seatbelt doesn't lock when it's supposed to so if I wreck looks like I'm going through the windshield. I honestly wish I could afford another vehicle because mine I feel is going to be the death of me. I have a video of what it was doing before it completely shut down can't upload any pictures because it wouldn't do justice.

My passenger seatbelt clip broke. All on its own. Never in an accident. Nothing should of caused it. I have low miles on the car and I have had nothing but problems. This seat belt clip is going to cost me more then $300. I just bought the car a year ago. Not fair!

2 years! For over 12 years my airbag light has been on..... For 2 years this vehicle has had this recall for the occupant restraint controller. The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability ... 2 years I I have inquired about getting this fixed, for 2 years I am being told that the parts are not available... Yet they are churning out new jeeps every single day... Why cant this be replaced with one from the new jeeps? Thankfully I haven't had an accident, and needed this airbag, but what if I would? What if I were to have an accident where an airbag could have saved my life? Will jeep do something then? Why aren't they being held accountable to fix this? Mileage and speed entries are just number to fill the blanks, since I did not have an accident... The date filled in is the date the recall was posted.

"jeep compass recall". Good afternoon, I was unaware that my jeep is under a recall. I haven't received anything in the mail regarding the recall. My address hasn't changed and I haven't heard anything in writing about my jeep's recall. I would at least like a letter explaining my recall so I can get this taken care of as soon as possible.
