2013 Jeep Compass Seats Problems

Your passenger seat headrest suddenly ejected or popped out while the car was parked and being hand-washed, even though the vehicle was working normally before this happened. Now the passenger seat is unsafe to use because the headrest won't stay in place. The repair will likely involve replacing the headrest mechanism or the entire headrest assembly.

Your passenger headrest suddenly split apart with a loud popping sound while you were entering the vehicle, even though no one was sitting in that seat. Upon inspection, you discovered the headrest has an active safety feature designed to deploy during a crash, but it's held in place by two small plastic retention pieces — one of which had cracked and failed. This caused the headrest to partially deploy on its own. The fix will likely involve replacing the headrest assembly or the broken plastic retention clips that keep the safety mechanism from deploying unexpectedly.
