AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE HEADRESTS IN MY DODGE AVENGER HAVE POPPED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD POP FORWARD MERELY FROM THE HEAT, AS I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AREA. I HAD THE ORC REPLACED AS PART OF SAFETY RECALL S61, HOWEVER THE VEHICLES SAFETY IS REDUCED BECAUSE THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN DUE TO BROKEN PLASTIC LOCKS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT BACK. APPARENTLY THE HEADRESTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. THE CAR IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE, AND IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY SINCE THEY ARE NOW PERMANENTLY DEPLOYED. I THOUGHT THE HEADRESTS WERE ALREADY COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL, WHICH IS WHY I AM FILING NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH DOWN HWY 411 IN CENTRE, AL MY CAR (2008 DODGE AVENGER) COMPLETELY SHUTOFF. I COULD BARELY GET MY CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN. THANK GOD IT WAS 11 P.M ON A THURSDAY NIGHT BECAUSE IF IT WOULD'VE BEEN DURING THE DAY THIS HWY IS VERY BUSY AND I COULD'VE CAUSED A WRECK AND HARMED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. AFTER I GOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY STARTED BACK UP BUT IT WOULDN'T STOP TURNING OVER UNTIL I CUT IT BACK OFF. THEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH COME ON. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WOULDNT GO OVER 15 MPH. I HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES RUN UP ON THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ACTUALLY AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY. WHEN I GOT IT HOME I SHUT IT OFF AND IT WOULDNT START BACK UP. I THEN TRIED TO START IT BACK UP THE NEXT MORNING AND THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COME ON AND I STILL CANT GO OVER 15 MPH. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE I COULDVE BEEN HURT BAD OR WORSE.
