Headrest Explosion in my driveway parked. Its confirmed by my dealer and its in their possession while I have a rental. No accident had occurred and dealer inspected and no accident had been detected. No indication that this would have happened previously. Im in fear of my safety and have 2 special needs children that rides in my vehicle regularly. The dealership is wanting for me the client to pay $1500 and refuse to comply with "good faith". My agent stated they would try to do on "goodfaith" but days later stated I have to pay regardless of the company malfunction. This could've happened while driving with me or my children. Im just glad that it happened while parked. It was stated to me if this doesnt get done or rather replaced this can be a safety issue. Please if you may share my formal complaint with Dodge or whomever. I have filed a formal complaint as well with Dodge and it has been escalated to case management with a case #.

I had a car accident on 1/29/24 .Regarding to my car damages . Airbags did not deploy during the accident.I believe my speed was 29-35 mph typically airbags deploy when the crash is the equivalent of an impact into a rigid wall at 10-12 mph.is anything we can do here please? Wasn’t my fault another car moved on the red light during intersection and mine was green and hit my car . I went to ER & i did a MRI and my doctor said I have serious issues with my back & neck now & I’ll need several surgeries , Thanks and have a great day!

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Dodge Durango verdict →
