- Fall River, MA, USA
Active headrest restraint deployed while driving on the interstate. No rear collision or other accident occurred. Dealership indicates the "tabs" broke off and therefore cannot be reset. Quoted me $816 to replace the headrest. Seems exorbitant. And something that, as a safety component, should be the subject of a recall (voluntary or otherwise) to be fixed. Consumer stated vehicle has been repaired.
