NHTSA ODI 11541654

While driving my vehicle my driver's side headrest exploded without being in an accident. I received no warning from Chrysler about the headrests being faulty. They left driving that unsafe vehicle with the exploded headrest for over 7 months this before replacing it and refuse to replace the passenger one as well stating, "we will only replace that if it explodes during the extended warranty period for it and yours is almost up." They currently still have my vehicle at the dealership. They clearly want to see a car accident occur knowing that headrest could go off at any moment and was made and installed the sane time as the drivers side.

ON 9/3/20, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE DRIVER WHO CRASHED INTO ME RAN A RED LIGHT WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE OFFRAMP AT SAHARA AVE. TO GO WEST IN LAS VEGAS, NV. THE ESTIMATED IMPACT FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS THAT HE WAS DOING ABOUT 45MPH, THIS TOTALED MY LEFT DRIVERS SIDE AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE A FRACTURED CLAVICLE AND #2 RIB, WHICH I WAS RUSHED TO UMC TRAUMA, LAS VEGAS, BY AMBULANCE. THE PROBLEM IS NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FROM THIS CRASH AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. THE ACCIDENT CASE #200900200 FROM THE NHP IS AT THEIR SOUTHERN COMMAND, 702-486-4100. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED FOR RUNNING A RED LIGHT CAUSING INJURY. MY INSURANCE CO. HAS TOTALED THE VEHICLE AND NOW WANTS TO SALVAGE IT, THEY ARE FARMERS INS., SO YOU MIGHT CONTACT THEM TO SAVE ANY EVIDENCE YOU MAY NEED.*DT

MY STEERING CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DONT WORK AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THE CONTROLS FOR THE SPEEDOMETER FOR DIGITAL USE DO NOT WORK. THERE IS ONLY 36000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE PART TO FIX IS UNAVAILABLE. THE QUESTION IS WHY NO RECALL WHEN U CANT ORDER THE PART SO OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE IS HAVING AN ISSUE AND THIS NOT WORKING COULD HAVE PREVENTED 2 ACCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED HAD THE HORN WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD.
