The passenger headrest made a loud noise and shot the front piece of it out extremely fast. There was no warning messages or lights. It could hurt head and neck . I have had this vehicle since it was new. Never got a recall warning about exploding headrest from Dodge. It has not been inspected by manufacturer or insurance or others.

Was out running errands and returned home. Pulled in garage and vehicle smelled hot, like on fire. Went to start vehicle back up and remove from garage incase of fire. The vehicle would NOT start. Took vehicle to local repairman. I was informed the alternator caught on fire. If this would of happened on the road, I could have been in a bad accident. Also because my vehicle was parked in the garage, there could of been the possibility of my house and vehicle catching on fire if it would have been worse. My Durango is currently at a independent auto repair shop. The new alternator has been ordered but there is concern that the computer might be destroyed also. The only person to inspect the vehicle would be my auto repairman. Unfortunately, there was absolutely NO warning lamps prior to the alternator burning up.

AFTER MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AS STATED BY THE PRIOR RECALL, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOUGH MY CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING AT ANY TIME. IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK THAT I AM DRIVING A 'FIXED' CAR AND AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE. MY CAR NOW UNLOCKS AND LOCKS AS WELL, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I CANNOT KEEP SAFELY ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN MY VEHICLE OR PREVENT IT FROM BEING BROKEN INTO. THE INTIAL RECALL REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. I AM WAITING FOR IT TO STALL OUT.

I WAS NOT TOLD BY THE DEALER NOR GIVEN CAR FAX ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE DANGEROUS IT COULD POSE TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I HAD A LEAK, WHICH HAD TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION AND I REPAIRED IT OUT OF OUR OWN EXPENSES BC IT WASNT COVERED. IT ALSO STOPPED TURNING ON AS WELL. MY HUSBAND WAS VISITING HIS SISTER, AND IT CUT OFF WHILE COMING ONTO THE ON THE RAMP OF A LOCAL STREET. EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAID AS NOTIFIED IN DECEMBER 2020 HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY ROAD. I AM THANKFUL IT WAS MY HUSBAND AND NOT ME AND MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. THAT DAY WAS JANUARY 1ST 2021, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOME, AAA ONLY ALLOWS ONE TOW. AND GATE OF DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. IT IS STILL THERE. AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS ON BACK ORDER THE PART AND WONT BE IN UNTIL FEBRUARY. I AM WITHOUT A LOANER AS WELL AS A RENT A CAR.
