As the driver, I reached into the back seat to hand my son something and both front seat head rests deployed! There was not accident or anything that should have caused this. This could have hurt me if my head was rested on the head rest at the time and now I have two head rests that are deployed and can’t fix them!

1. I had just entered my 2015 Dodge Durango Citadel and shut the driver side door when the driver side headrest safety restraint burst open unexpectedly hitting the back of my head and thrusting it forward. Thus far, I have suffered muscle pain and soreness requiring an x-ray and some medications. 2. I had not yet started the engine. The car was sitting still in the parking lot and it was not running when the incident occurred. It frightens me thinking how bad this could have turned out had I been driving down the interstate at 70 mph or if one of my grand daughters had been sitting in that seat. 3. Post incident my husband drove the vehicle to the dealership where it was purchased, they removed the headrest and informed him Dodge had issued an extended warranty on the headrest so there would be no charge (the headrest is still at the dealership). They had to order a new headrest however, they sent him home driving the Dodge Durango with a disabled airbag system (UNSAFE). This has been a known issue with Chrysler-Jeep-DODGE since 2010 and there has been no recall. 4.The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. I have notified my insurance company and Dodge Customer Service. There were NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the incident. 5. I have a call in to the dealership requesting a loaner vehicle to drive as mine is unsafe with a disabled airbag system.

The service air bag system light kept coming on every time I drove it. I took it to the dealer and they said there is a defect in the wiring harness and passenger seat air bag and they need to be replaced. Since this was a defect I felt I shouldn't have to pay for it but because my warranty ran out I have no choice.
