What 627 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chrysler 200

While driving, my driver seat headrest deployed. There was no collision to activate the headrest to deploy. It did so spontaneously. This could have caused a major accident due to me being startled. I am concerned for my daughter’s safety and mine. There were no recalls for the headrests reported in my vehicle. There was no indication that the headrests in my vehicle would be an issue. I will be taking the vehicle to CarMax, where I purchased it and to the Chrysler dealership to seek a solution

ON 6/16/2018, I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT WHEN TRAVELING SOUTH AND A DEER RAN OUT ACROSS FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CRASHING RIGHT INTO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF MY VEHICLE THEN FLEW UP IN THE AND CRASHED DOWN RIGHT THREW MY WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 50 MPH. I WAS SEVERELY INJURED SINCE MY SEATBELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN ME AND NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOLLOWING DEER COLLISION THE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AND I SUFFERED SECONDARY INJURY. I NEED SOME ANSWERS ON WHY I WANTED NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL BEFORE NOW. I JUST RECEIVED THE LETTER REGARDING RECALL ON THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS TWO YEARS LATER! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE PLENTY OF PHOTOS HOWEVER NEED TO UPLOAD, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU
