The headrest on the passenger side burst open. From what I-??m reading online due to a faulty plastic part from Chrysler. I was not in any accident. It burst on its own.

My son was seated in the front passenger seat on his phone. The car was parked and not on. He was waiti for for me to get in. In his words the "head rest shot out" at him. Sure enough when I entered the van the head rest was deployed. I asked him if he sat down roo hard, was jumping around, anything that the van could have confused as a Collison. He said no, he was sitting like normal waiting for me playing on his phone. And then pow!

The headrest came apart while car was parked and turned off. If the driver was behind the wheel when this happen, there is a good possibality it may have cause the driver to have an accident. The car have been to a service center to check about replacing it. There was no warning before the headrest came apart. It is my understanding that Chrysler knew about the defect but I have not received a recall notice. It seem this part is expensive to replace and I don't see that it is my place to lay out the money. Can Chrysler be held accountable?

I was attempting to move the second row bucket seat forward. I pulled on the side of the seat and the entire seat folded, including the headrest. My hand was near the headrest, and when the head rest closed, my finger was caught under where the bars that support the head rest and the head rest and the tip of my finger was crushed and fractured. When the headrest closes the impact is so forceful. I don't have a VIN since this was a rental.
