2014 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I WAS WONDERING IF A SAFETY DEVICE IN A CAR HEADREST, DESIGNED TO JUMP FORWARD IN A REAR END COLLISION, IS A SAFETY DEVICE THAT FALLS UNDER WARRANTY. MY WIFE HAD ONE THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN HER 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THERE WAS NO REAR END COLLISION. SHE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION IN A MALL PARKING LOT. THE HEADREST DEPLOYED, THROWING HER FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT SINCE HER CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY PART. MODELS UP TO 2013 WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME MICROCHIP MALFUNCTION IN THE HEADRESTS, BUT 2014 WERE NOT RECALLED.

I OWN A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THEY WOULD ONLY OPERATE ON THE HIGHEST SPEED SETTING AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STOP AND GO REALLY SLOW. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORTED THAT THE CAUSE IS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF KEEP GETTING ALERT SAYING THAT KEY IS STILL IN IGNITION CAUSING MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO FAIL. IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO READJUST MIRRORS OR ANYTHING. ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ISN'T WORKING DUE TO ERROR MESSAGE SAYING KEY IS STILL IN IGNITION. I LOCKED MY KEYS IN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE FAR DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WHEN THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE BEGAN AND I WAS OVER 300 MILES AWAY FROM HOME.

CAR WAS DROVE 46 MILES TO WORK. WHEN EXITING CAR, FOR NO REASON THE HEAD REST SPLITS INTO TWO PIECES. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED USING THE RECALLED PART (N38) OR THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, HAS NO PINGS OR SCARS. COMMUNITY CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP IN MARTINSVILLE, IN. WAS OF NO HELP, THEIR SOLUTION WAS SPEND $255 TO CHANGE FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER, ORDER A NEW HEAD REST $388 ON A THREE MONTH BACK ORDER AND ANOTHER $255 TO INSTALL ONCE ARRIVES. THERE IS INSTRUCTIONS TO RESET, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY TRIED TO RESET AND COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH. IF RESET, WOULD IT SPLIT APART AGAIN? SHOULD FAMILIES RISK LIVES BEING USED AS TEST DUMMIES FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY POSSIBLY KILLING YOUR OWN FAMILY AND OTHERS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WHILE YOUR NECK IS SNAPPED FORWARD AND DISTRACTING YOUR DRIVING?
