“The headrest of my seat popped out while driving and forcefully hit the back of my head. The occurrence was random and happened dangerously while driving on a city street. Luckily I wasn't severely harmed in the process however I do imagine that a driver can potentially be harmed severely within this occurrence. I felt as if I was punched in the back of my head with brute force”

NHTSA complaint #11400171, filed 2021-03, 88,598 miles

“I was a front seat passenger in a Chrysler 200 2013. We were on a city street going approximately 35mph. The passenger side headrest deployed without warning causing a violent jolt and injuries to myself. There was nothing that would have caused it to deploy. The road was smooth..no pot holes. Nothing hit the car. Speed was not a factor. Weather was not a factor. It was sudden,loud and abrupt.”

“I parked in my driveway. When I exited the vehicle I heard a loud noise and say the driver headrest pop up and split apart disclosing the internal mechanism. I was fortunate not to be driving when this occurred. I have found at least 16 complaints concerning this problem on the internet and I'm amazed that there has not been a recall. I fear that the passenger headrest will pop and injure my passenger.”

NHTSA complaint #11101311, filed 2018-06, 54,000 miles

“Head rest deployed while driving on city strret, the engine also shut down while makeing a left hand turn and will not start back up this has caused every sensor light to come on as well. Prior to this incident, my that my automatic start and locks were not working and the headlights were really dim. I took it to autozone where it was assessed and they determined it was not the battery.”

NHTSA complaint #10969575, filed 2017-03, 46,000 miles

“My car was parked and as I was entering my car in the drivers seat and leaned my back against the seat to adjust my position in the car seat, the headrest airbag deployed. I went to the dealership the next day to be told the part was discontinued and not covered by my warranty and could not be removed as was a safety issue, so I had to put zip strips on it so I was able to drive the vehicle and I have been unable to find the part to have it replaced.”
