“On August, 2nd around noon, I was driving alone, west on a rural road called 1869 in Liberty Hill, TX. I believe the speed limit on this winding rural road is 55mph, and I was about 1 mile west of 183. While my car was in motion, my active headrest activated (exploded) into the back of my head, throwing me forward into the steering wheel. This happened randomly and unprompted. There were no other cars on the road with me, I didn’t collide with anything, and the road was smooth. I quickly regained control of the car and continued to my destination. …”

“Whenever it gets hot in this area, my vehicle malfunctions. First the dash bubbled and had to be replaced. The leather on the driver door bubbles up and has been replaced.. It is bubbling again on the driver door but is not covered by the extended warranty. Both headrests have popped open. One happen while at the car wash and the other happened while I was in the grocery store. Both times the car was at rest and windows up.. It costs $1600 to replace. The driver window switch does not work when hot outside. Had it checked by the dealership at least 10 times. …”
