I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED USING THE RECALLED PART (N38) OR THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, HAS NO PINGS OR SCARS. COMMUNITY CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP IN MARTINSVILLE, IN.

I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN I HEARD A STARTLING BANG THAT CAME FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I SAW THAT THE HEADREST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED SEVERAL SMALL PIECES OF BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. UPON EXAMINING THE HEADREST, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE PLASTIC WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD A 2"-3" SILVER METAL RETAINING ROD HAD FAILED. THAT SILVER METAL ROD IS STILL ENGAGED IN THE ELECTRONIC LOCK/RELEASE MECHANISM ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. THE PLASTIC PIECES ON THE SEAT WERE FROM THAT ROD RETAINER. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE HEAT OF THE ARIZONA SUMMERS ARE CAUSING THE HEADREST PLASTIC COMPONENTS TO WEAKEN. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, OR THE BEGINNING OF A TREND. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF IT WAS THE DRIVERS HEADREST THAT FAILED, HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. UNEXPECTEDLY GETTING HIT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! MY CHRYSLER 200 HAD 38,110 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED; IT IS BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST IS STILL INSTALLED IN THE CAR. IT APPEARS THE CHRYSLER PART NUMBER IS 68065766AA; MANUFACTURED BY GRAMMER (IN GERNAMY) AND THEIR PART NUMBER IS 1192441. REMOVING THE HEADRESTS TURN ON THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR. AS I STATED EARLIER, I FEAR THAT THE DRIVER HEADREST MAY ALSO FAIL AT ANY TIME AND RESULTS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER REQUESTING BOTH OF THESE HEADRESTS TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE.
