2010 Dodge Nitro Air bags Problems

“While driving down the road, my headrest malfunctioned and unexpectedly deployed. The vehicle was not hit, nor has it ever been. The vehicle was in motion on a city street, slowing down to approach a stoplight.”

“Airbag-dash light keeps coming on and shutting off. Went online and found several forums with several people that have the some issue. Issue started when going over a street hump.”

“Passengers front seat head rest deployed on its own. The air back feature of my head rest deployed and it broke in the process. It is available for inspection. It happened when I was cleaning my car. So thank goodness not when I am driving. I was actually cleaning my car to trade it in for a dodge durango but after reading some articles that this is considered normal wear and tear also that dodge won't cover the cost for the repair and don't consider this a recall. I am highly reconsidering staying with dodge now. Specially the outcome of this. It hasn't been inspected yet. No warning signs.”
