Just leaving a parking lot going maybe 15 mph at the most and the driver head rest popped out and a spring went flying. the vehicle was not hit or did not make any impact with anything, not even a speed bump. the head rests are extremely uncomfortable now and it was terrifying getting hit in the back of the head with my 1 year old daughter in the back seat. local dealership advised this is not under a recall so it would be something we would have to pay out of pocket for. estimate was close to $3,000. that is absurd when it is a defect and not something that i caused.

2012 Dodge Avenger

Vehicle was serviced for airbag recalls however the light stays on constantly. not long after buying the vehicle, i would put use the turn signal and the windshield wipers would come on, they still do from time to time. i took it in for service at the dealer and they could not figure out the problem. also, from time to time, the air conditioner button will not work. the only way to get it to work is to rapidly turn the knob from side to side. it has sometimes taken up to 5 minutes to get it to work.
