I was coming to a gradual stop at a traffic light on a local road when the active head restraint seemingly deployed. I was not in a collision and there was no reason for it to deploy. Upon examining the mechanism it was not triggered, rather it failed because the plastic clips that held onto the latch had broken off internally causing the headrest to hit me violently in the back of the head. This could have been far worse had I not been almost at a complete stop.

Driver's headrest airbag deployed when we were not in the car, and the car has not been in an accident. Chrysler was contacted and did a private investigation which led them to believe that the incident was not due to manufacturing responsibility. This incident happened some time in early April - we noticed it around April 14th. I have contacted them 6 times since then and they refuse to explain why the airbag deployed, or offer assistance in repairing it.

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 61,000 miles
Thursday evening my husband was backing out of our garage at our house. When he got to the street (a residential road) he put the car into drive and that's when the driver's headrest deployed (separated from the plastic piece like an airbag, headrest restraint activation thing) hitting my husband in the back of the head forcefully. He did not hit anything or run over anything while backing out. No other airbag deployed in the car, just that one. He pulled back into the garage and told me what happened. We got on Chrysler's mopar website to see if there were any recalls regarding that part. There were no current recalls on our vehicle and we were up-to-date with all the recalls on our vehicle. We contacted Chrysler several times and got nowhere with them, but the first representative we talked to did give us a case number. They are basically saying it is out of their hands and in the dealerships. We then contacted the dealership where we purchased and service our Jeep. They told us to have it towed there and they will inspect the problem. Even if they fix the part or reset the airbag thing, I am still scared to drive my car to and from work and Transport my child.

Grand Cherokee

  • 44,846 miles
The airbag indicator light is on. I took it to adel Chrysler dealer to investigate. The said "44846 open in orc module need to replace orc module" I investigated and discovered Chrysler recall P67 for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, when I contacted Chrysler, they said my VIN number was not included in the recall. My car has the exact same problem as the recall describes yet it is not included in the recall!! I think it should be included and that Chrysler should replace the orc module at no charge. While Chrysler did offer to give me the part free, I would still have to pay labor $150. I think it should be done free. So I am filing this complaint. Meanwhile my airbags won't deploy until this is fixed. The NHTSA campaign number: 14V643000

Takata, on April 15, 2016 I had a head on collision with a 2004 Ford pick up truck on state highway 28 in seneca SC the Jeep was totally destroyed and I suffered multiple serious bodily injuries. The airbags did not deploy. If the airbags had deployed it would not have concluded in broken ribs, broken hand, multiple cuts and bruises and the loss of 90 % of my site. Even the state trooper said he had never witnessed such a travesty.
