DRIVE SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) TRIGGERED ON OWN WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED DODGE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT ANY ISSUES. RECEIVED PHONE CALL FROM DIFFERENT NAPLETON RECENTLY AND ASKED SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT IT AND HE SAID HE HAS SEEN A FEW. CONTACTED DODGE AGAIN AT (800) 423-6343 (SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS) AND THEY SAID VEHICLE IS BEYOND 3 YEARS/36K WARRANTY. I ORIGINALLY CONTACTED THEM IN JULY 2015 AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER SEEN IT AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER SERVICE ADVISOR AND FINDING OUT THAT THERE IS OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE DODGE SHOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE DO TO THIS PROBLEM. RESEARCHING THE WEB THERE HAS BEEN CASES OF AHR DEPLOYING WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THANKFULLY MY WIFE WAS IN PARK WHEN IT DEPLOYED. I APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS.
