Faulty active head restraints in both front driver and passenger seats, causing both units to deploy while driving, causing my driver to temporarily lose control of the vehicle.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2025

I was sitting, idling in my car when my active headrest restrain system in my passenger seat suddenly went off. I am lucky no one was in my passenger seat and that I wasn't driving at that time. I looked more into it and it looks like the plastic encasing the metal bar which holds the headrest together snapped. Googling online I saw that this is a common issue with Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler cars. I am now worried my driver side active headrest restraint system could go off while I am driving and cause an accident, as the passenger one definitely flew forward fast when it snapped.

Failure Date: 12/10/2023

Horn honks randomly will driving or turned off/parked. Windows go up/down on their own. Locks/unlocks. Wipers turn on/off. Emergency flashers turn on/blink all on their own. Appears to be an issue with security system. Replaced tipm and still having issues with all of the above. My truck is dead every day, replaced battery twice & crack shaft sensor, still having issues. There is a ticking noise and sounds like my truck is trying to turn itself on without the key in the ignition. Airbag light will not go off. This vehicle is 13 years old and Dodge needs to do a recall for all the issues people are reporting.

15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2018

The horn blows by itself, while driving and while sitting in the garage unoccupied. It has shut off while driving in heavy traffic and I had to put it in neutral to restart it. The aur bag light has come on and apparently in the words of my mechanic "I can't find anything wrong with it". The air and heat stopped working in the back of the vehicle last year. The check engine light goes on and off. I've had it towed to the shop twice because it would not start, just to be told it cranked right up once at the shop and again "I can't find anything wrong with it". It doesn't accelerate like it's supposed to when taking off, jerks and lags, and once accelerated it continues to jerk and lag.

21 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2017

Without warning, the horn starts blaring, whether we are in the car or not. This happens daily! had to take the fuse out that controls the horn! the alarm would start blaring at night and will not go off, wearing the battery down if we do not hear it in the garage, which is not attached to the house. I have read countless other people with the same problem! not having a horn is dangerous, and I'm not sure if the air bag is affected! Dodge wants $105 to check the problems, and approximately $400 to repair, per the service manager at the dealership. No help from manufacturer!.
