2014 Chrysler 200 126k miles sept. 8, 2020 slowing down for a red light. Approximately 25 mph. Heard a loud noise like a tire blowing out. Yet didn't feel anything. Immediately pulled over to inspect my vehicle outside and found nothing amiss. Entered vehicle on drivers side and looked over and saw passenger side headrest had deployed. This is not the first time. Rewind to November 2019 same car at 120k miles. Sitting in driveway. Vehicle parked and engine off. Key not even in the ignition. Sitting in the driver's seat. Heard a loud noise and my head was thrown forward in a very fast motion. Looked up to see if I had been rearended somehow and not another vehicle in sight. Got out of the car had a look and foind nothing out of the ordinary. Walked back to the car and noticed the driver's side seats headrest had exploded thus causing the loud noise and my head to fly forward. I have seen other past make and models for Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep have recalls all the way up to about 2013. How is this still an issue that has not been recalled yet , again? this is seriously concerning. What if I had been driving when the drivers side headrest deployed? what if I had one of my teenagers in the passenger seat or a passenger for that matter.

Active head restraints (ahrs) on driver's seat deployed spontaneously. Some broken plastic parts fell out. Luckily I was not in the car and noticed only when neck got uncomfortable while sitting.

Takata recall. The airbag light keeps coming on and off on the dash, sometimes when I go to break. I have had it tested to make sure what it is. I was told by stark's it is a sensor in my headrest that is part of the airbag system, if it is on and I have a wreck they will not deploy. Started in may and is still going on.

I was alone in the car, driving on the freeway, when I heard a startling bang that came from the front passenger side. I saw that the headrest on the front passenger seat had deployed while I was driving. When I got home, I noticed several small pieces of black plastic on the front passenger seat cushion. Upon examining the headrest, it was obvious that the plastic which was supposed to hold a 2"-3" silver metal retaining rod had failed. That silver metal rod is still engaged in the electronic lock/release mechanism attached to the back of the head rest. The plastic pieces on the seat were from that rod retainer. I do not know if the heat of the arizona summers are causing the headrest plastic components to weaken. I also don't know if this was an isolated incident, or the beginning of a trend. I shudder to think what would've happened if it was the drivers headrest that failed, hitting me in the back of the head while driving at 65 miles an hour on the freeway. Unexpectedly getting hit on the back of the head while driving could result in a serious accident! my Chrysler 200 had 38,110 miles when this occured; it is barely out of warranty. The defective headrest is still installed in the car. It appears the Chrysler part number is 68065766aa; manufactured by grammer (in gernamy) and their part number is 1192441. Removing the headrests turn on the airbag warning indicator. As I stated earlier, I fear that the driver headrest may also fail at any time and results in a serious accident. I contacted Chrysler requesting both of these headrests to be replaced under warranty and am awaiting a response.
