“Passenger front seat headrest driving down the road the headrest shot open striking my wife in the back of the head for no apparent reason. I have read other issues other people have experienced same problem. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed before a accident happens and someone gets killed. I think Dodge should be recalling these vehicles for these issues.”
