| Front Seat Head Restraint problems |
Fiat Chrysler notified me by letter of campaign x86 for inadvertent active head restraint "deployments". But all they did was extend the warranty for repairs in the event of a deployment. I am scared to death that I will get unexpectedly punched in the back of my head while driving. I drive narrow mountain roads and a lot of two lane highways where one mistake can be fatal. My cervical stenosis may also result in a horrific neck injury. My wife also is unlikely to survive a deployment without injury, being less robustly-built than me. Fiat chrylsler should replace the defective part before others get hurt. Nhtsa should tell fiat Chrysler to issue a safety recall.
Both headrests have sprung out. On two separate occasions the car was parked, off, and without rear impact the headrest ejected.
