There has been a recall since last year, with no parts. In Feb my car broke down stopped running due to this recall. I had it towed to a dealership and no parts. Now its been sitting there for months and I have no car to drive. The dealership said they cant help, call Crysler. I contacted them and was told so sorry we WONT pay for a rental car. Now what am I going to do? I have to work and cant afford all these costs. Anything you can do to help?

The headrest on the driver's side popped open when I was driving. I had backed out of my driveway and had changed to drive and as I did the headrest popped open. It hit me in the back of my head. Luckily I was driving slow and I could pull over to find out what happen and discovered that the headrest popped open. In trying to find out what was going on with the headrest I discovered a small piece of plastic that came out of the headrest. I am unable to reset the headrest due to this broken piece of plastic. I am glad that I wasn't driving at a faster speed as the bump from the headrest may have caused me to put on the breaks or change lanes as a result of the hit on my head.
