My spouse was driving and the headrest air bag deployed hitting her in the back of the head. There were no warnings before it happened and the dealership said that it seems to be an issue that they are aware of but there are no recalls at this time. Since this has happened the seatbelt light is on.

My 2015 Town and country Chrysler minivan was parked in a hot garage in Florida in the early morning, when I observed the front right side passenger's headrest to be opened and appearing to be forced forward. No accident or moving was involved. There was no activity that should have caused the headrest to deploy forward. I believe this is probably a headrest that is used for an anti whiplash device in case of an accident. Without a doubt, this is a safety issue as accidental discharge of this headrest could cause serious injuries. No injuries took place.

Passenger front headrest exploded while stationary. We were at a stop light, there was no accident or impact. It cannot be reset and needs to be replaced. I do not feel like we should have to pay out of pocket when this is a common issue and a safety issue.

My vehicle was parked in the driveway stationary, and as I walked to the vehicle to enter the car with my 2 young children and as we approached I heard a load pop noise. I found the ahr headrest had deployed, with no one touching or moving the vehicle. The vehicle has never been in an accident and the headrest has never been reset for any reason. The plastic joint mechanism and spring that holds it in and together cracked and broke. I called Chrysler dealership and they will not fix or replace unless I pay out of pocket, approx $1000 for 1 headrest. The gentleman on the phone acknowledged that he knew of this happening often in Chrysler T&C vans, however could not help me as my warranty is now up and there is not a recall. I am terrified to drive my van now, knowing that the drivers side headrest ahr may deploy at anytime no warning and cause injuries to me, which could cause me to crash my vehicle while driving endangering my children and family. I have ziptied both the passenger headrest and drivers head rest shut. The drivers headrest is ziptied in case it randomly deploys and the passengers is zip tied as the head rest internal plastic mechanisms are broken.

We were in the van that the passenger front headrest just shot out and almost hit my wife in the head. Took to the dealer and found they wanted over 800 for a new headrest. I feel like this is a safety issue that should be addressed.

Passenger side headrest exploded while driving (on a paved road in Florida) for no reason. Could have been extremely bad or fatal if their was a passenger setting in the seat.

I was driving at 45 mph with my adult daughter in the passenger seat. She had her seat belt on and without any warning, collision or turning motion the passenger seat headrest exploded hitting her in the head. Because of the safety of my future passengers I secured an appointment at galeana Chrysler dealership in fort myers, Florida. On 3/11/20 I purchased a new headrest at a cost of $683.73 and had it installed on 3/25/20 for an additional cost of $155.28. At my original visit to the dealership on 3/11/20 I called the Chrysler reimbursement center (talked to megan) and she said the cost would be paid by Chrysler due to the safety issue. On 6/22/20 we received our rejection for reimbursement from moi a reimbursement specialist at Chrysler. Our case numbers at Chrysler were 75899352 and 76536023. Two case numbers were assigned because they lost the first one. My first concern is the safety of my passengers and myself. This was not cosmetic but a safety issue that should be the responsibility of Chrysler. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
