Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Took my car to two dealers the first dealer said he didn't have a tool to remove the light. The second dealership kept my car for five days said it was a seatbelt error. When I went to pick it up they said they didn't have a mechanic that could get rid of the air light. And they charged me for a new driver side seat belt”
NHTSA complaint #11326665, filed 2020-05, 47,112 miles“The airbag indicator light comes on/off intermittently. The driver's side airbag has been replaced 2 times by 2 different dealerships and the wiring harness that supplies that airbag has been replaced 1 time. This has taken place no matter if the van is stationary or moving. I have several pictures of the dashboard that shows both the tacometer and speedometer.”
NHTSA complaint #11256584, filed 2019-09, 18,800 miles“Vehicle was taken in to dealer for air bag light on, was told active head restraints had deployed. Van has 5700 miles on it. Dealer stated someone must have backed in to something. There is no evidence of any damage to rear of van, & parts alone were quoted at $1093.00 + labor. This seems to be an ongoing issue with chrysler. Perhaps they should announce a recall to mitigate this situation.”
NHTSA complaint #11170703, filed 2019-01, 5,779 miles“At approximately 3:40 pm central standard time I was going through a school zone fixing to turn into the school. I was going about 15 mph and decelerating to a stop near the cop conducting school traffic. As I was coming a stop my AHR headrest deployed. This happened very spontaneously and luckily I was going slow enough and coming to a stop when it happened. Definitely a safety concern.”
NHTSA complaint #11759581, filed 2026-08“The airbag is malfunctioning and sending aa fault to the dashboard. My safety is at risk because if I’m in a accident and the airbags might not deploy. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer yet or inspected by the manufacturer. Yes the warning lamp appeared 48 hours ago.”
