Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Consequence: If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began February 14, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or Kidde customer service service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured July 31, 2015, to April 18, 2016, 2016 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2015, to January 29, 2016, and 2016 RAM ProMaster vehicles manufactured August 15, 2016, to April 15, 2016. The transmission pump may seize causing a loss of hydraulic pressure.
Consequence: If the transmission loses hydraulic pressure, the vehicle may lose motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
This is a safety-defect complaint regarding the Front Seat Active Head Restraint (AHR) on our 2015 Chrysler. In March 2025 the front passenger AHR SPONTANEOUSLY deployed with no collision or impact. The head restraint is now permanently dislodged and dangling from its original position. This creates an immediate safety hazard: it distracts the driver, protrudes into the front passenger seat area, and can cause pain or injury to front-seat passengers. This defeats the very purpose of the AHR and introduces new risks of harm. This is the exact defect NHTSA investigated in PE19-014 (inadvertent AHR deployment without crash). NHTSA closed that investigation in 2026 without a recall, citing FCA’s 10-year / Unlimited Miles warranty extension as sufficient remedy. However, FCA NEVER NOTIFIED US of the extension — even though our vehicle's VIN has been registered in our names at the same home address for ALMOST 5 years. We only discovered the warranty extension days ago through independent research. Our vehicle has extremely low mileage (59,666 miles total as of February 2026 — only 17,265 miles added in the 4.6 years of our ownership). We are the second owners and there is no history of accidents. Because we were never informed of the warranty extension, we could not request inspection or repair even though we were still within the 10-year extension when the headrest deployed. FCA customer service has now denied coverage, despite our initiating multiple phone calls and a detailed demand letter we sent in February 2026 with no response. As [XXX] and [XXX] on fixed Social Security income, we cannot afford an expensive replacement. The dangling head restraint remains an ongoing safety risk in our primary family vehicle. Please investigate this matter, particularly the failure to notify affected owners of the warranty extension that NHTSA relied upon to close PE19-014. The manufacturer’s “remedy” is ineffective if owners are never told it exists! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving at 515 am on the highway about 60 mph, when all of a sudden Drive aside headrest airbag went off. I am thankful that it was early in the morning and not a lot of people on the road cuz I did swerve but did not hit anyone or anything as it startled me as I was driving. I called Chrysler see case number below and they will do nothing about this. As this car is made you need to replace the whole seat they want me to pay for the Diagnostics waiting for a supervisor to call me back. I've been icing my lower neck and back since it happened. My case 93912799
when coming to a stop the van will jerk, and when taking off it acts like it does not want to catch the gear, now we are expirancing no take off, it will not go past 20 miles, and when we try the engine will rev up and will not pick up speed.
Passenger side active head rest deployed suddenly while driving down the road on a hot day (90 degrees with heat factor 100+) Called dealer and they stated extended coverage for this expired June 13. This happened on July 28. They want to order parts, approx 170 USD and charge 108 USD labor. This is a common problem because of manufacturing with inferior plastic parts and it is violent when it pops apart unexpectedly.
I purchased the vehicle yesterday. On drive home I noticed that it stop pulling. I took foot off of gas and reapply and the vehicle picked up speed again. I got home and checked recalls for this year vehicle and noticed a safety recall for the transmission. When I called dealership today and gave the VIN # they said there were no recalls for my vehicle. But my vehicle is performing exactly like the safety recall reported. Person I bought it from said she's been the only owner. So now I'm going to have to find a shop to repair the transmission because I refuse to drive a vehicle that's unsafe. Why was my van not included in the recall when the recall list included my year make and model?
The Head Restraint (AHR) on the driver's seat opened, without warning, striking the back of my head with considerable force. I was startled and momentarily dazed, as a result. The vehicle was parked at the time, so no impact or collision was involved. The Head restraint has not been repaired and is available for inspection. I have seen many reports of the same problem with numerous other vehicles. The manufacturers should be responsible for the repairs. Thank you!
