Car was drove 46 miles to work. When exiting car, for no reason the head rest splits into two pieces. I believe this car was manufactured using the recalled part (N38) or the replacement part was no better than the original. The vehicle was not moving, is in perfect condition, has no pings or scars. Community Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in martinsville, in. Was of no help, their solution was spend $255 to change from driver to passenger, order a new head rest $388 on a three month back order and another $255 to install once arrives. There is instructions to reset, but the dealership said they tried to reset and could not accomplish. If reset, would it split apart again" should families risk lives being used as test dummies for the auto industry possibly killing your own family and others in oncoming traffic, while your neck is snapped forward and distracting your driving"

First I have noticed my car delays and jerks when putting it into gear. This happens mostly in the winter. More recently my car tried to accelerate a couple times while my foot was on the brake. I took it into the dealership to have it repaired and they stated because they could not make the car do the same thing, they could not fix the problem. Second the recall on the air bags and seat belts was first published almost a year ago. This is my only vehicle and I have two children that are placed in that vehicle. I am scared for them as well as anyone that is in my car if I am to get into an accident. This is far too long to know about a problem and not fix it. I was going to trade in my car and try to lease another vehicle. Well now I can not do that as my car is only worth about $5,000 even though it is in excellent condition. I still owe about $12,000. So now I am left to drive an unsafe car that is known to be unsafe and nothing is being done about it.

"takata recall". I feel very unsafe with this car and am afraid to allow any passenger ride due to this problem. I need to sell my car for my work and I am unable to trade in, even to Chrysler without a huge reduction in the value due to this recall. I received a letter in Oct 2016 informing me about the recall. I was told by Chrysler customer service that the part will be available in June 2017. When I called in June 2017, I was told August or September of 2017. Each week and month that this is delayed, my car is depreciating and I am losing money by not being able to trade it in for my job. I cannot believe 1.4 million people are accepting this delay by Chrysler. I would be happy to trade it in at its value, but not for less than it is worth. What can I do?

Takata inflators I contacted Chrysler over 2 months ago complaining that this problem had not been resolved. The response at that time was the parts would be available after May 6 2017. The dealor says they have received the parts yet. Thy further state that the computer has been set to not deploy. Do I have to seek legal service to resolve?

Received recall on airbag and seat belt issue in Sept 2016 and dealerships still do not have parts to repair this issue. The airbag light recently came on in my car so I took it in to tom O'brien Chrysler, indpls, in 46240. They informed me that they would have to possibly charge $125 diagnostic fee to determine whether it's this issue or not. Regardless, the owner's manual says it's dangerous and should be addressed immediately. Mean while I am driving an unsafe vehicle til parts are available, which may or may not be available in June. Chrysler should provide a vehicle until my car can be repaired. This must be going on at a national level. Why hasn't this been addressed before now? I need my car everyday. I am also traveling the end of may out of state and cannot drive an unsafe vehicle. I am unable to fly, I have meniere's disease. I am a disabled veteran and a car is my only transportation. Please help me get this resolved asap.
