The contact owned a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed during night, a bright light suddenly obstructed his view to the roadway. The contact's son veered the steering wheel and suddenly crashed into a traffic signal, where it came to a stop. The traffic pole was knocked down and landed on top of the vehicle, damaging the front windshield and roof. The contact's son was unsure what exactly happened, and is unsure whether the vehicle spun around or crashed into any other private property. The driver-side and passenger-side air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. The contact's son was covered in glass from the front windshield and suffered injuries to the back on the right side that did not require medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,123.

Passenger headrest made a loud pop and split open, hitting the passenger in the back of the head while the car was braking mildly (from 10mph to stop)

My head rest restraint deployed overnight whole the car was sitting in my driveway. I see multiple complaints of this and reached out to a dealership/Chrysler corporate and they said I have to pay for it out of pocket. They said the warranty for it was extended but I never received a notification of it being an issue or a warranty. The car was purchased in 2017 and had 2 recall, I took it to a dealership within a month and they said the recall was fixed. However less then 5 years later my head rest restraint deployed on it's own, there was no collision to my car while it sat in my driveway

I keep getting airbag icon airbag error message. I was instructed by insurance to run vin to see if there has been a recall upon running vin I was notified there was 3 recalls listed for vin.

COMPLAINT: PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS STUCK WHEN BUCKLED. YOU HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO RELEASE THE BUCKLE. IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK I COULD NOT GET A PASSENGER OUT OF MY PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE ITS TOO HARD TO UNBUCKLE.THIS OCCURS WHEN CAR IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. HEATER PROBLEMS: MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAT IS NOT WORKING IT IS BLOWING COLD AIR AND WILL NOT DEFROST THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHT VENT BLOWS WARM AIR. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY AND MOVING.
