NHTSA Complaint #11396512 — 2012 JEEP PATRIOT

FIAT CHRYSLER NOTIFIED ME BY LETTER OF CAMPAIGN X86 FOR INADVERTENT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT "DEPLOYMENTS". BUT ALL THEY DID WAS EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR REPAIRS IN THE EVENT OF A DEPLOYMENT. I AM SCARED TO DEATH THAT I WILL GET UNEXPECTEDLY PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE NARROW MOUNTAIN ROADS AND A LOT OF TWO LANE HIGHWAYS WHERE ONE MISTAKE CAN BE FATAL. MY CERVICAL STENOSIS MAY ALSO RESULT IN A HORRIFIC NECK INJURY. MY WIFE ALSO IS UNLIKELY TO SURVIVE A DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT INJURY, BEING LESS ROBUSTLY-BUILT THAN ME. FIAT CHRYLSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART BEFORE OTHERS GET HURT. NHTSA SHOULD TELL FIAT CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL.
