Passenger side front headrest deployed with no occupation or contact and will not reset.had someone been sitting in the seat it could have caused serious trauma to their head and/or neck. It absolutely startled and scared me. Had a vehicle been in the neighboring lanes I very well could have caused an accident after the deployment. No prior warnings of any kind preceded the incident and I have not been to a dealer for inspection.

The driver headrest popped out and struck me in the back of the head, nearly caused me to crash. I've seen online this is a previous reported issue, however no recalls. This is very dangerous and I was traveling with me one year old...

Both of my headrests in the front (driver and passenger) within a week of each other have suddenly "popped" forward. They are broken and can't be put back together. It is very dangerous. Thankfully no one was riding in the passenger seat. The driver seat occurred when the vehicle was parked. This could have really hurt someone.

While my wife was driving down the highway heading home from work the front passenger seat headrest exploded. She said the explosion was so loud and startling that she almost wrecked. Had there been a passenger or it been the drivers seat there could have been serious head or neck injuries. Upon looking at the exposed headrest it appears that the plastic that holds the latch bar in place is weak and ripped out.

The driver side AHS headrest, which is both part of the seat and the airbag system, decided to activate without warning. I know these can be reset but, upon checking out the inside, it is clear that some plastic components have failed, allowing it to activate for no reason. I have researched this and read where Chrysler knows this is a problem but they have not recalled the vehicles, due to this faulty material. I can't afford $1000 headrest because it's faulty.

Driving in a subdivision at about 20 mi/hr and the passenger headrest AHR deployed for absolutely no reason and without warning hitting the passenger sharply in the back of the head. Looking at the unit it appears that the plastic component holding a retention pin gave out releasing the pin which was still in the grip of metal claws so we know the solenoid didn't accidently activate. The plastic simply broke!! Fortunately it didn't result in injury other then a sore head! There are a lot of reports of this happening with these headrests so it is recurring problem which I'm surprised hasn't been addressed yet. If/when the drivers side does the same thing it could result in an accident causing situation.

I have a Town and country 2014. While my husband was driving our mini van on the highway and I was in the passenger seat. The head rest on the passenger side seat deployed and slammed into the back of my head twice for no reason. We took it to the dealership and it was way too expensive for us to pay for out of pocket because it was not covered in our warranty. Then just a few days ago when I was driving and come to a stop the drivers side had slammed into the back of my head again! why would these deploy for no reason what so ever. This is a huge safety risk. They cannot be reset because the same piece that broke on the passenger side broke on the driver side. Please tell me what are the chance ?? this is needs to be addressed and the faulty head reset needs to be recalled. Consumer did not contact the manufacturer.

Driver seat active head restraint deployed when not in a collision. The car was off and we were loading kids in the car. Can't get it to go back together.

- Anthem, AZ, USA

While parking my vehicle in my driveway and after coming to a stop, my driver side headrest (active head restraint) deployed, striking me in the back of my head. I was not injured. There was no associated vehicle nor did the vehicle strike an object. Upon further examination, a plastic seating that holds the metal pin had broken. Attempts to reset was unsuccessful because of the broken plastic pin seating. The attached photo shows a strap around the headrest so that the vehicle can be driven safely.

The passenger active head rest exploded forward while I was driving. I had just dropped my wife off and was headed down the road and a loud boom happened and I looked over and saw the head rest sticking forward from the rest of the piece. If my wife was still in the vehicle it would have struck her in the head.

- Dickinson, TX, USA

Was driving from pa to New York on the highway and about 150 miles into the trip the headrest exploded out word and stuck me in the back of the head. Causing a little confusion and a instant headache. There was nothing that could have caused this. The road was not bumpy or was there any kind of impact to the van. Thank god my wife was not driving because the impact of the headrest probably would have knocked her out and caused an accident. The headrest system is supposed to be a safety device but is defective and a risk to anyone that is driving a Chrysler product.

The headrest on the drivers side deployed while driving on a smooth road and disoriented me for a few seconds. The street is curvy and is on a causeway. I drive it everyday at a speed limit of 45.

Early on/about August 27, 2020 I went out to my Chrysler T&C, parked overnight in my home's driveway, and discovered that the front passenger seat headrest had deployed. The vehicle had not been involved in any incidents of sudden contact with any other vehicle or object. Examination of the vehicle exterior shows zero evidence of any contact with another object on any of the outside surfaces. The headrest was not deployed when I was last in the vehicle, but was deployed when I looked at it the next morning. I have not yet taken the vehicle to any repair facility and no one except me and my wife have seen the problem. I am the sole person to drive this vehicle. No other person, including my wife, drives it..
