WHILE TRAVELING ON VACATION, AND AT THE TIME PARKED IN A REST AREA, THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST RANDOMLY EXPLODED IN MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AT THE TIME AND NO INJURY OCCURRED. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH. NOTHING OCCURRED TO CAUSE THIS HEADREST TO DO THIS. PLASTIC PIECES ARE BROKEN AND THE HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET, IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE FOR THIS REPAIR IS OVER $700. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AS A DAILY DRIVER AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT HEADREST WILL DO THE SAME THING WHILE WE ARE DRIVING, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

THE SEAT BELT COMPONENT CRACKS CAUSING IT TO PUSH ON THE SEAT BELT AND THEREFORE, NOT ALLOWING THE SEAT BELT TO RETRACT. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST A YEAR AGO, WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING THE SEAT. WE JUST FINALLY HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WE'RE TOLD THAT BOTH OF THEM IN THE 3RD ROW ARE CRACKED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE IS CURRENTLY STILL WORKING. I HAVE PHOTOS BUT I CAN'T UPLOAD IT ON THIS FORM. THE PICTURE WITH THE CRACK ON THE SIDE IS THE ONE NOT WORKING. THE ONE WITH THE CRACK IN THE MIDDLE STILL WORKS. *TR

I DROVE OVER A POTHOLE ON A CITY STREET. I WAS TRAVELING AT 35 MPH, WHICH RESULTED IN FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST TO POP OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT. THE HEADREST WILL NOT CLOSE BACK. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT ABOUT 5 MPH WITH YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE IS STILL SENDING GAS AND NOT IDLING STILL ENGAGING. IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL THE CAR WILL JUMP. *TR

WATER ENTERED THE TAIL LIGHT(NOT THROUGH ANY CRACKING BUT THROUGH THE SEALS ON THE SIDES OF IT) AND CAUSED PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THIS THE TAIL LIGHT WAS CRACKED BUT CAUSED NO MORE WATER THAN USUAL TO GET IN. THE CRACK WAS COMPLETELY REPAIRED AND WATER STILL COMES INTO THE TAIL LIGHT THROUGH THE SEAL ON THE SIDES OF IT IF IT IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN HEAVY RAIN. IT IS EMBARRASSING AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHEN PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT DO NOT WORK. WE NOTICED THIS ABOUT 7 MONTHS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT DURING HEAVY RAIN. DURING LIGHT SHOWERS, IT DOES NOT DO THIS OR WHEN DRIVING BUT IF THE VEHICLE SITS IN RAIN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WATER STARTS TO BUILD UP INSIDE PRESENTING THE NEED TO REMOVE A BOLT AND DRAIN THE LIGHT(WHICH WE DO). THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN WASHING THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SPRAY RIGHT WHERE IT WAS CRACKED AND NO WATER GETS IN BUT IF YOU SPRAY AROUND THE SIDES OF THE LIGHT WATER STARTS ENTERING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2016 BUT WE DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT IT WOULD BE ABOUT MID JANUARY 2016. *TR

OUR 2014 DODGE DURANGO RT AWD TAILLIGHT IS TAKEN ON WATER WHEN IT RAINS OR EVEN GOING THRU CAR WASH CAUSING LIGHT TO SHORT IN SPOTS WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS, WRECKS THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BY MANUFACTURER TO HAVE TO REPLACED. *TR

WHILE PARKING I WAS DRIVING HEARD A LOUD POP/CRACK THAT STARTLED ME I TURN AND MY WIFE IS SAYING OUCH TOUCHING HER HEAD. THE HEAD REST WAS OPENED IN TWO LOOKED LIKE IT EXPLODED OPEN AND HIT MY WIFE ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD. THERE WAS NOTHING DIFFERENT THAT WE DID WHILE PARKING IN FRONT OF OUR HOME THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HEAD REST TO EXPLODE. I CALLED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAD REST AIRBAGS GOING OFF. NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE SAME THING COULD HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER HEAD REST AIRBAG. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE STILL IN A LOCKDOWN IN CALIFORNIA AND NOT DRIVING MUCH OR MAYBE A GOOD THING WITH THE NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING, A/C NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, WINDOWS AND LOCKS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. *TR
