The driver's active head restraint seems to have been deployed spontaneously. I did not witness the occurrence, I noticed the headrest when entering my vehicle one morning. My 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan has not been involved in any sort of collision. I am unable to find any recall information for this occurrence, and I believe that there should be a recall placed for this by Chrysler.

One day, I found my drivers seat head rest had come opened. When looking to see what caused this, it said that you were rear ended" I was not rear ended! now my air bag light is on? I had ask a Dodge dealer about it, and he said that it would cost a thousand dollars to fix it? when reading about the recalls on it, I read where the clips are breaking. Making the head rest to come open, and the air bags not working? please can you help me with this problems? I don't feel that it is my fault" thank you [xxx] redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Vehicle was parked on level surface after car wash when I opened the door to exit the vehicle the head restraint safety device malfunctioned and popped open. I noticed the black plastic clips that hold the restraint to the metal pin were broken, most likely caused from excessive strain over time.

While driving on the highway at around 60 mph, my headrest deployed. I did not use the brakes, and was not involved in any sort of accident, including a rear end accident, which is when this is supposed to happen. When this happened, it smacked into the back of my head. The surprise and pain of this hitting the back of me head randomly while driving could have caused an accident. I was traveling around other vehicles. The plastic tabs inside are snapped and there is no way to put it back together without a repair or replacement. The part obviously failed. There was no reason for this to happen and I have seen many complaints online of this happening to Chrysler minivans and SUVS. The passenger side headrest did not deploy, which I believe is further evidence that it did not function as intended. If I had been involved in a rear end accident, they both should have deployed, as my husband was sitting in the passenger seat. There should be a recall on this part as it could cause an accident and is very costly to repair. I'm including pictures of the deployed headrest, the passenger one that is still together, and the rear of my vehicle to show there was no accident. Thank you.

2013 Dodge Caravan driver side head test deployed for no reason while stopped at a red light on the morning of September 8th, 2019. My vehicle was stationary. No accident or rear collision occurred. Photos of front and back of vehicle will prove no damage. It appears the plastic retainer which holds the component together failed and snapped on its own Accord. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by Dodge/Chrysler.

On 7/31/2016 my vehicle was parked in a driveway. I entered the vehicle, started the engine and the driver side active headrest deployed. Attempts to reset headrest per the operators manual failed. On 8/4/2016 I took the vehicle to the dealership who informed me that they could not reset headrest and it had to be replaced (cost approx $900). I contacted Dodge customer service who has assigned an investigator to look into the issue. Case # 29846962 as of this date, 8/5, the replacement headrest is on order and I am waiting to be contacted by the investigator to look at the vehicle. Prior to the incident, the vehicle had been driven in excess of 500 miles (northern va to tn) and had been parked and secured in the driveway for approx. 1 hour. The vehicle was not, and has never been, in an accident.
