“I was driving home from work on a city street just exiting a roundabout going no more than 15 miles per hour and my headrest exploded forward hitting me in the back of the head. It was quite jarring. It felt like something heavy as in my back seat and shot forward hitting my drivers seat. There were no cars around me, and nothing hit my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11257508, filed 2019-09, 30,000 miles“The air bag light goes on/off. Dealer says it is a faulty wiring or connection and have to take out the passenger seat. They told me that the air bag system is off when it detects some fault. They are charging me $400.00 to try to fix the problem. I have no choice but to fix. Rear shocks are leaking, why I do not know.”
NHTSA complaint #11331657, filed 2020-06, 40,000 miles“The service air bag system light kept coming on every time I drove it. I took it to the dealer and they said there is a defect in the wiring harness and passenger seat air bag and they need to be replaced. Since this was a defect I felt I shouldn't have to pay for it but because my warranty ran out I have no choice. Not right!!”
NHTSA complaint #11084595, filed 2018-04, 45,000 miles“1. Air bag continuously pops up whenever driving, I have received multiple emails from westgate and taken to them with no repair. Recent accident airbag did not work. 2. I am unable to open gas tank from inside, I literally have to get out go to back of truck and pull a lever, I found out how to do this by another owner who did it on youtube. I almost got hit by car twice. 3. …”
NHTSA complaint #11161298, filed 2018-12, 55,000 miles“Driving on freeway coming back from payson area and we heard a pop noise at drivers seat headrest and saw that the headrest popped open. We didn't know it was an airbag until a Dodge dealer said that it was the airbag and it's not under warranty and can't take care of it. Kept asking if we were in a collision when the headrest broke and we were not! We were driving at about 65 miles an hour when that happened. We were also told that our motor mounts have to be replaced and the vehicle is only 3 years old. …”
