8-21-2017 HAD A RECALL PREFORMED FOR A AIRBAG ISSUE. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE THERE WAS STILL A CODE IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER ACTIVE HEADREST CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN. I HAD ALREADY INVESTIGATED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ( MARCH 2017) AND FOUND MANY SITES STATING A BROKEN WIRE IN DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME I FINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WIRE ISSUE AND FOUND THE BLACK WIRE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES BEFORE A YELLOW CONNECTOR WHERE A PLASTIC STRETCHER WAS APPLIED BROKEN INSIDE THE FIBER COVERING OF THE 2 WIRES. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR 30 YEARS SO I STRIPPED THE WIRES AND REATTACHED. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON SO I AM THINKING WHEN IT BROKE OR WHAT EVER IT CAUSED A SYSTEM ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I HAVE OWNED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT COULD COST AROUND 400 TO FIX.
