• Seat belt retraction investigation # PE19011

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this preliminary evaluation to investigate complaints alleging improper retraction of the front seat belts (driver or passenger) due to the plastic guide of the d-ring cracking in model year (my) 2014 jeep grand cherokee vehicles. The purpose of the investigation was to understand the scope, frequency and safety related consequence of the alleged defect. The subject condition occurs when the plastic material encapsulating the metal substructure of the front seat belt, b-pillar mounted d-ring cracks. The structural integrity of the d-ring remains intact; however, cracking of the plastic material pinches the webbing at the d-ring, thereby preventing it from properly retracting, and leaving the belt loose on the occupant. In addition to the detectability of the loose belt, the cracks in the plastic guide are also apparent by visual inspection, and many reports indicate the webbing can be manually fed back into the b-pillar/retractor to improve seat belt fit. Odi review of the available data has not identified any injuries attributable to this failure.In its november 6, 2019 response to odis september 8, 2019 information request letter, which was scoped to include my 2013 to 2015 grand cherokee and dodge durango vehicles, fca providedinformation (portions of which were submitted with a request for confidentiality) detailing several material and process changes involved in the production of the subject d-ring. Based on these changes, fca sub-divided certain production periods into population groups representing different design levels of the d-ring. Fcas response also confirmed the same d-rings were used in dodge durango front seat belts. Odi notes that installation of seat belts during vehicle production involves highly controlled processes, in comparison to field service, which ensures all mechanical and electrical connections are properly secured.Odi analyzed complaints submitted directly to the agency and complaint data received from fca. During this review, odi identified elevated failure rates for grand cherokee and durango vehicles produced from mid-june 2013 through july 2015 when compared to vehicles produced both prior to and after this period. Additionally, review of fca warranty data indicated a similar pattern of elevated warranty claims in the suspect july 2013-july 2015 period. The primary factors for the failure rate differences appear to be a d-ring material change (from nylon to a celcon plastic) starting in mid-june 2013 and a subsequent change (to a delrin material) in august 2015, however other production changes occurred during the suspect period, as discussed in greater detail in fcas november 2019 response. Odis analysis of the various data sources showed vehicles produced in the suspect period experienced failure rates approximately 2 to 4 times higher, depending on the data source and production period evaluated. However the analysis also indicated a declining failure trend.Given the detectability of the condition, the failure frequency combined with a currently declining failure trend, and lack of injuries attributable to this condition despite significant time in service, odi is closing this preliminary evaluation without further action. The closing of the investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a defect does not exist, and nhtsa will take further action if warranted by future circumstances.In the course of the investigation, fca has informed the agency of its intention to offer an extended warranty for grand cherokee and durango vehicles built during the suspect period. See the pe19-011 document repository at nhtsa.Gov for further information on this program.The odi reports cited above can be viewed at nhtsa.Gov under the reference numbers on the attached page.

• Vehicle rollaway investigation # PE16014

  Basis – on december 16, 2016, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened preliminary evaluation pe16-014 to investigate 43 vehicle rollaway incidents with operators alleging they had shifted to park and then exited the vehicle prior to the rollway incidents.  these complaints involved multiple fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) model and model year vehicles that share a common electronic rotary shifter design.  of the 43 consumer complaints, 25 complaints alleged crashes, and eight complaints alleged at least one injury. Subject vehicles – when nhtsa opened the investigation, the subject vehicles were model year (my) 2013-2016 ram 1500 vehicles and my 2014-2016 dodge durango vehicles equipped with a rotary electronic shifter. However, nhtsa expanded the scope of the investigation to include subsequent model years of the same model vehicles when the agency learned that those new model year vehicles use the same rotary shifter.  additionally, all subject vehicles manufactured by fca are equipped with electronic rotary shifters supplied by kostal automotive. Reason for closing - during the course of this investigation, odi did not find evidence that a vehicle-based design or manufacturing defect was the cause of vehicle rollaway incidents on the subject vehicles. Nevertheless, given the risk of a vehicle rollaway, fca’s csn actions provide automated vehicle securement when an operator attempts to exit the vehicle without successfully achieving a park position with the rotary shifter mechanism. Odi closely monitored the subject vehicles on which the csn actions implement a vehicle securement strategy and found that the csn actions were effective in reducing the frequency of vehicle rollaway incidents in the subject vehicles. Odi analyzed the incidents when a csn had been implemented and a rollaway still occurred, and odi was unable to find an actionable defect that caused vehicle rollaway incidents. Odi found that the failure rates on subject vehicles that received a csn remedy were similar to the failure rates on other vehicle populations and additionally had similar mechanisms as other vehicle populations such as slippery surfaces and various mechanical failures. Furthermore, as discussed above, after fca’s release of the csn actions, consumer complaints have decreased significantly. Given the absence of an identified safety defect based on available information and fca’s customer satisfaction campaign which addresses the failure mode, further action is not warranted at this time. Accordingly, this preliminary evaluation is closed. However, the agency reserves the right to take further action, if warranted.Please see the attached detailed closing summary for more information.

I was driving down the road with my wife in the front passenger seat when i heard a loud bang, thinking something stuck the rear passenger side of the vehicle. There was nothing there, but i noticed that the active head restraint had deployed. Fortunately, my wife was leaning forward at the time. I tried to reset, but the plastic brackets holding the steel pin were broken thus not allowing me to reset.

I was leaning against my driver seat to grab my son from out the backseat when the driver seat headrest popped open

While driving to work this morning, i was suddenly hit so hard in the back of the head, my face almost hit the steering wheel. The hit to my head caused me to swerve almost hitting two cars in the lane next to me. I thought i had just been in a car accident! Once it was safe for me to pull over i saw that the driver side headrest deployed. There were no signs or warnings this was about to happen and we have never had problems with the seats. I have not taken it to the dealer or had the seat inspected by anyone as it just happened this morning. The consumer stated dodge dealership, who informed them that warranty is extended for the headrest until 2026. The part is being ordered and consumer is currently waiting for the part.

The driver side headreast randomly deployed.

My wife was driving and the active headrestrant deployed on me for no reason shot my head forward this happen just with her driving nothing happen no accidents or anything i have had headaches since this has happened

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge durango. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer nor independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and suggested that the vehicle be taken to an authorized dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Water gets in the back track light which is a known issue with the dodge track lights . My track light completely shorted out including my license plate lights . Dodge knows of this design flaw and should have to cover the cost of the replacement which is $1000 plus labor . Totally ridiculous and a obvious safety hazard

Front passenger seat headrest deployed. No one in seat front passenger seat. Rear facing carseat behind it. Headrest will not compress back to original function.

Front passenger seat headrest deployed. No one in seat front passenger seat. Rear facing carseat behind it. Headrest will not compress back to original function.
