general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 200

I own a 2013 Chrysler 200. While parked at a gas station the front driver’s headrest deployed without warning. I contacted a dealer where I was informed that the headrest needed to be replaced out of pocket. I was informed that the vehicle no longer qualified to be serviced under the recall. Mileage was around 135,000 when this occurred.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the front driver's side headrest deployed, and there was no impact to the vehicle. The contact stated that the headrest struck the back of her head, but there was no injury sustained. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the headrest needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 17v640000 (seats, air bags); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Adjusting the headrest up some and the headrest popped out and want go back in I know that it pops out durning a collision so im wondering why is it popped out now the airbag light is on.

Drivers seat headrest popped open and cannot be reset. This thankfully occurred while the vehicle was stopped.

Headrest exploded while my wife was driving home yesterday. It is definitely broke.

Active headrest system deployed without collision on the passenger side. Could have impacted passenger and caused serious head injury. Vehicle was taken to dealer and directed me to Chryslers customer hotline. They were reluctant to do anything and were trying to put the blame on me. They said they would call back in the next 2-3 business days to examine the vehicle after much back and forth. There were no warning signs that the headrest would deploy and no prior notice from the manufacture.

The driver side head rest popped out and is unable to be reset.

Headrest popped out radio goes blank or completely then comes back on throttle body light comes on and stalks car after being replaced 2 times gas cap light comes on after being replaced 4 times.

While driving, the safety mechanism on my driver's seat headrest malfunctioned and launched forward. I was distracted for a minute after while I tried to figure out what just happened. At first I thought someone rear ended me until I saw there was no one behind me. I saw what happened to the headrest after I pulled into a gas station. I didn't take it to a mechanic because they would've wanted over $700 to replace it, which I can't afford. I replaced it myself with a headrest I bought on ebay. I still have the malfunctioned headrest because I'm not sure at this point what to do with it. There was no prior warning of any kind.

3 months ago my passanger head rest popped open. Tried to close but couldnt. Today my driver seat head rest popped open as I was driving.

Broken active head restraint while placing the passenger seat in a slight reclining position. It broke the rod and plastic in the head rest so that it separates (no support for the head). Meaning there is a chance of possible injury to the head and neck of the passenger in the event of an accident.

Engine shuts off then restarts after you put it in park been doing it for over a year been to many mechanics but it never reads a code , head rest deployed on passenger side and will not stay when pushed back in.

Multiple issues, passenger window is a very common issue, looked on youtube and found many videos for it was able to jump with direct power to the pigtail using wires and a battery and was able to roll it up but no explanation for why it ends up having this issue, heater core also a consistent issue, it is obvious with passenger side goes cold and 95% of the fix is a new heater core. Headrests popping, had the safety recall done 02chz28 (recall s61) and never was mentioned or brought up by local dealer, both seatbelts are not functioning properly, passenger side is the worst, locks up and both are running along the plastic causing it to become deformed and wearing on the edges of the belts. Vehicle has obvious replacements on the front but no accident history. Hood is a different VIN number and grill is not original from factory. I found the original photo of the car's first sale post. Odd malfunction is washer fluid can run out with no indicator being triggered for low fluid.

While driving, my driver seat headrest deployed. There was no collision to activate the headrest to deploy. It did so spontaneously. This could have caused a major accident due to me being startled. I am concerned for my daughter’s safety and mine. There were no recalls for the headrests reported in my vehicle. There was no indication that the headrests in my vehicle would be an issue. I will be taking the vehicle to carmax, where I purchased it and to the Chrysler dealership to seek a solution.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied, the front driver's side seat headrest exploded without impact. The contact drove the vehicle to residence. The contact's husband purchased the headrest from the dealer and replaced the headrest. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. An unknown dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer denied reimbursement. The failure mileage was approximately 40,300.

When my son was adjusting the seat to his height and reach, the headrest (commonly known as an ahr from my research) popped open. I was not hurt but could have been if I wasn't leaning forward at the time. I understand fiat Chrysler is under a class action lawsuit for this very defect, yet my car is not part of the recall. Does this mean they are not liable? do I have to join the class action lawsuit to get them to repair my headrest at no cost to me? I can take photos but I'm using an I-phone and my computer does not recoginze the file extension. Thank you for your guidance in this matter, gerald shackelford 210-365-6197.

Active safety restraint head rests have exploded. It is not possible to sit in seat correctly as they push head forward into airbag now. Dealer says it is not possible to obtain repair parts as they are on back order indefinitely.

Drivers side headrest deployed while driving the car. No collisions just regular driving. Dealership says I have to pay to have it repaired. This is a safety issue that I should not have to pay for. Apparently it has happened to a lot of Chrysler cars. The headrest is not fixed and is available for inspection if needed.

I was driving and I went over a speed bump. The driver's side headrest exploded outward and hit my head very hard. Upon inspection, it looks like a plastic brace failed. The dealer says there is no recall. They say it will cost $700. There were no warnings.
