While sitting in the car with my family at walmart waiting for frock pick up the passenger seat headrest air bag burst open. We were not in accident or had we went over any large speed bumps. Actually the car was in park.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the air bags warning light illuminated on and off. The contact called dch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of temecula service center (26845 ynez rd, temecula, ca 92591, (951) 225-4541) and scheduled an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was an electrical short in the ocr module. The contact was informed that the ocr module needed to be replaced however, the replacement part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000.
I was driving down the street and 1 vehicle in front of me about 3 to 4 car lengths. The woman was going same speed, I looked to my right to assure a dog was not going to run into the strret, 2 seconds, an looked back at road and person in front had stopped, with no turn signal on and no oncoming traffic. I firmly applied brakes and tried to veer around the car but there was not sufficient space and hit the back of car so hard it tossed around items in the car breaking front windshield, knocking off my glasses. The force was so hard it thrust my body hard onto steering wheel and leg into dash. The airbags did not deploy for driver or passenger. The seat belt did not hold my body to the seat. I have a very serious contusion on left leg where putting weight on the leg is terrible pain. I have a fractured sturnum(chestbone) making breathing, walking, getting up or down, reaching for something extremely difficult and extremely painful. Your site by VIN number states there was a recall on airbags, I never received any notice of a recall on airbags or seatbelt. I phoned local dealership for history and they reported there has never been a recall on this make and model. I talked with insurace agent and an attorney and they had no information of recalls on this vehicle. Now I dont know what to believe, but I do know something is wrong as either the airbag or seat belt should have prevented me from being thrust forward so hard to fracture my sternum and cause serious injury to left knee. I would like an investigation as to why the airbag and seatbelt did not work properly. I dont believe this vehicle is safe. Please conduct the investigation.

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.
I had just parked my car and had exited to remove my child from his car seat when, for no reason, the drivers side headrest deployed unexpectedly. The vehicle was not in motion.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 mph, the contact heard an abnormal loud noise coming from the passengers side headrest. The contact pulled over and noticed the headrest exploded without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a local mechanic for repairs or diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
The service your airbag light keeps turning on and off constantly, while driving. It also disables the seat belt automatic locking when the light comes on. It was recalled on the 2014 Jeep with the same issue...
Service airbags notification keeps coming on. Scheduled to take it to dealer. Found out service recall has been made for airbags on Jeep Cherokee but not 2014 Dodge Durango. Why not if the same problem is occurring with the Dodge Durango those. This should be included in the recall. My vehicle only has 90000 miles on it should not have airbag issues. Airbag light would come on as soon as I start to car then would go off then my service alarm for airbag would come on and stay on. Now service light for airbags come on immediately after starting the car and will not go off.
Dealer stated that my wiring harness has a short which caused the airbag to fail. Became aware of this when the check airbag light illuminated constantly. This is exactly the subject of a NHTSA recall: 14V643000 apparently, my VIN is not included in this range of vins though I was diagnosed with the same issue
The car was in park with ignition switch off. I sat in the passenger seat and starting to put on my seatbelt when unexpectedly the safety restraint system headrest activated hitting me in the back of the head. After incident I observed that the plastic used to hold the retainer bar in place has gave out and no longer in place with the retaining bar still within the release hooks.
Airbag light and service airbag system warning constantly on. Airbag system deactivated. Very dsngerous if collison were to hsporn. Told my VIN is not included in recall P67, which is the issue I am having. This seems to be a common problem with multiple reports of not being included in the recall yet experiencing the same safety issue that is covered under recall P67.
Getting into my parked vehicle I noticed the driver's side seat head rest had deployed. Plastic clips broken. Lock bar was still enclosed in locking mechanism. My vehicle was in my driveway.
