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.

Drive side active head restraint (ahr) triggered on own without accident. I contacted Dodge when it happened and they said there was not any issues. Received phone call from different napleton recently and asked service advisor about it and he said he has seen a few. Contacted Dodge again at (800) 423-6343 (special investigations) and they said vehicle is beyond 3 years/36K warranty. I originally contacted them in July 2015 and they said they never seen it and not covered under warranty. After talking to other service advisor and finding out that there is other vehicles out there Dodge should look further into this issue. Someone could get seriously hurt or die do to this problem. Researching the web there has been cases of ahr deploying while going down the highway, thankfully my wife was in park when it deployed. I appreciate your assistance with this.

I received an email months ago that there was a recall on my airbags and an issue with the seatbelts that could cause injury during a crash. A just recently received an email from carmax warning me of the same. I never received a remedy-is-available email so I looked it up on this site and was informed there is no remedy available because the recall is incomplete. It has been close to a year, and I would like this remedied so I and my passengers are as safe as possible in my car. Thank you!
