2015 Jeep Patriot Seats Problems

“Driving steadily on the highway, my driver's seat headrest exploded forward, launching my head forward and downward away from the road, disorienting me for a couple seconds. A powerful spring completely broke plastic that held a pin back, a pin which is supposed to hold the headrest back. I am young and a very alert driver, but this was unacceptable.”

“I was driving down the road at approximately 50 m.p.h., when the headrest on the passenger's seat exploded. Thankfully no one was seated in it at the time. I have since discovered that this is a common problem with several Jeep models. I am now concerned, wondering when or if the driver's side may deploy while I am driving.”

“While my car was parked in the driveway of my house the driver headrest deployed. No collision occurred. The plastic clip holding the headrest in position broke and the headrest deployed.”

“The headrest deployed on it's own while driving. I was told bu my wife to take a look at what happened and the plastic that holds the metal bar that locks headrest in place was broken. The metal shaft is still locked in place . Please see pictures. I called the dealership that I bought the car and they told me to call a Jeep dealership. I notified bay dodge Jeep chrysler in panama city and have them check for any recalls. They told me no and I get with service department to get a new one. I should not have to pay for defect.”

“Hit a small pot hole & my passenger seat head rest popped open & came apart. There is no way that I can see to put it back together; it's not easily closed & I dont want to break it”
