“Car had a recall of airbag module (s61) & after this was repaired, it has a seatbelt warning for active head restraint bc14 (circuit open). I've seen many posts about a similar problem with Chrysler cars. And, now I have to pay to get this repaired or the headrest may not operate properly in the event of a rear end accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11172707, filed 2019-01, 100,540 miles“I was going straight down the highway. There was a very loud noise and I was hit in the back of the head very hard which sort of stunned me. I pulled off the highway to see what had happened. I couldn't see a problem until I got out of the car then I discovered the headrest had deployed.”
