DRIVER'S HEAD REST AIR BAG BLEW OUT WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY. WE WERE JUST GETTING IN THE CAR AND NOTICED IT. THAT WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT VERY GOOD IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. I HAVE PHOTOS IF THEY ARE NECESSARY.

WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, 36 MILES, THE DODGE STARTS TO OVERHEAT. IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND NO DIAGNOSIS HAS BEEN MADE. UPON STARTING THE CAR, IT SHAKES AND AFTER A MINUTE IT SUBSIDES WITHIN MINUTES OF STARTING THE OIL TEMP JUMPS TO 231 DEGREES OR HIGHER.
