What owners say about the seat belts

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“driver's seat headrest deployed while I was driving. I cannot put it back in place because some internal plastic parts have broken off. The passenger seatbelt sensor keeps going off as if the passenger has not buckled the seat belt. The sensor on that same seat keeps going off even if there's no one sitting on that seat.”

“Multiple issues, passenger window is a very common issue, looked on YouTube and found many videos for it was able to jump with direct power to the pigtail using wires and a battery and was able to roll it up but no explanation for why it ends up having this issue, heater core also a consistent issue, it is obvious with passenger side goes cold and 95% of the fix is a new heater core. Headrests popping, had the safety recall done 02chz28 (Recall S61) and never was mentioned or brought up by local dealer, both seatbelts are not functioning properly, passenger side is the worst, locks up and both are running along the plastic causing it to become deformed and wearing on the edges of the belts. Vehicle has obvious replacements on the front but no accident history. Hood is a different vin number and grill is not original from factory. I found the original photo of the car's first sale post. Odd malfunction is washer fluid can run out with no indicator being triggered for low fluid.”

“The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that his son parked the vehicle, and as he disengaged the seat belt and was exiting the vehicle, the air bag headrest inadvertently deployed and hit him on the back of the head. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V640000 (Seats, Air Bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.”

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”
