The Foam protector that goes on the head rest cracked and is crumbling. I contacted them about the issue but they said that warranty was over and they tried to sell me the same car seat for a discounted price. My sister had bought the same exact car seat and she had the same issue with the foam head rest. I believe the quality of the foam part that goes in the head rest is faulty, it shouldn't have cracked and crumbled. My child's safety was at risk, if i had not taken it apart to wash it I would have not noticed it. I believe these specific car seats are not safe for use.

We had our vehicle serviced at the Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center between the dates of May 26, 2024 through June 27th, 2024 on 3 separate occasions due to following. Received truck back on June 17th with a blown air suspension after confirming that the air suspension was filled firm when brought the truck in due to an email received for a recall and when driving the vehicle, the power steering kicked in due to the battery terminal not being secured properly (confirmed by AAA technician). No vehicle lights were turned on during this. Returned truck on June 25th, 2024, received truck on June 26th, 2024 where diesel gas was spewing from my truck sitting idol in my driveway after driving it straight home from the service center. Returned on June 27th, 2024 at 7:00 AM CST after being told by the Dodge technicians that I should've drove the truck to them and that diesel has a burning point of over 1,000 degrees. They towed my truck to the shop after I refused. Received my truck at 2:30 PM EST the same day for my road trip that had been scheduled for 6 months. On July 6th, 2024, when driving my truck 4 of the 5 lug nuts broke off completely in which the tire flew off of my truck and caused a singular car accident and damage to my vehicle. We could've been seriously injured due to where we were on the road. I had additional injury to my lower back during the accident incident. We had the vehicle inspected by the California local police department as well as the licensed technician who confirmed that this was negligence by the service center who serviced my truck less than 2 weeks prior. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the General Attorney due to not receiving any response from Dodge regarding this matter.

Thursday, July 21, 2022 11:46 AM The foam that is minimally-glued into the headrest popped off of the shell after a couple months of use. We were able to hold it in place with the fabric cover for several months. Then, the foam began slipping and ultimately cracked in half. We were unable to keep it in place after that. We have photos of the damage. The seat has been destroyed per the request of the manufacturer. Once the headrest is raised above the level of the outer seat shell, any amount of pressure or holding onto the headrest causes it to bend and flex. I believe this allowed the headrest foam to pop off. Without the foam in the correct location, there is not appropriate padding for the child's head in an accident. A report was made to Chicco. Though outside of the warranty period, Chicco replaced the seat.

8/18/18 AT ABOUT 1:15 PM WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON US 220 IN THE LEFT LANE IN THE CITY OF WILLIAMSPORT PA DURING A CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY AT 55 MPH, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH DISABLED MY VEHICLE AND DID APPROXIMATELY $4500 DAMAGE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A SIZE 275-60-20. THE TIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR OLD WITH 8/32 TREAD REMAINING AT TIME OF THE BLOW OUT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE BLOWOUT. AFTER THE BLOW OUT, I PULLED OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE MEDIAN TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. I THEN LIMPED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INTO THE GRASS TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. AT THAT POINT, I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE TIRE AND INSTALL THE SPARE AT WHICH POINT IT THEN STARTED RAINING. I BELIEVE THE SAFETY RISK WAS THE GOODYEAR TIRE. THE TIRE HAS BEEN SENT TO GOODYEAR TO EXAMINE. THEY STATED THERE WAS NO FACTORY DEFECT, HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO SEND ME A COPY OF THEIR REPORT DESPITE NUMEROUS REQUESTS. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. GOODYEAR ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY COVERAGE DESPITE THE FACT THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND MILEAGE. I DO HAVE A DASH CAM VIDEO OF THE BLOW OUT HOWEVER IT IS IN .MOV FORMAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD IT - I CAN PROVIDE A CD UPON REQUEST. MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAN WHAT I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE IN THIS COMPLAINT.

JUST TO COMPARE: MY 2005 RAM STILL HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT WITH ONLY SLIGHT WEAR ON TREAD WHEN I TRADED IT IN 9 YEARS LATER.

I BELIEVE OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE PART OF MOST OF THE RECALLS LISTED FO RAM TRUCKS. OUR TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE, THEY WON'T FIX. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT TWENTY SOME THOUSANDS MILES, AND MY WIFE BEING THE PRIMARY DRIVER SAID THAT WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK SOMETIMES JUMPS FORWARD. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL WAS REPLACED. I'M AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT LOSE OUR WHEELS ON THE ROAD. THERE IS ALSO A CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT EVERYONE CAN SMELL BUT THE DEALER. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CHRYSLER AND BEEN DRIVING A RENTAL FOR ALMOST A MONTH.
