The drivers side active headrest deployed while the vehicle was unoccupied. It is not electronically controlled, so no warning lamps were illuminated. This appears to be a known issue with FCA but they offer no assistance with correcting the known safety defect.

While driving, without any warning,the front passenger seat headrest exploded, hit my wife in the back of the head and snapped her neck forward, almost knocked her out. I can't imagine what could happen if this exploded on the drivers side and caused an accident (I'll bet this has happened but was overlooked).

The passengers side head rest came apart. It came apart so fast it was like it exploded. It was almost like it had an air bag on the inside of it.

I was entering a highway on the entrance ramp when I was hit in the back of the head by the headrest, with no warning it just burst apart and caused dizziness. I pulled over as I literally felt like I was in a car accident. I continued to feel dizzy and experienced neck and lower back pain.

While care was parked, daughter (11yo) leaned around passenger seat with her forearm against the left side of the head rest to talk to her mother. Randomly and suddenly the head rest safety mechanism deployed. No one was seriously injured but it did leave a mark on my daughter's arm.

Passenger side head rest exploded while driving down the road. This is a huge safety issue and could have caused sever damage. Now I’m afraid the driver side will do the same thing while I’m driving down the road
