The front passenger headrest deployed for no reason. We had just parked the van and my 13 year old daughter was behind the passenger seat when the headrest deployed and something hit her in the face. We were in no accident nor rear-ended.

The active head restraint deployed on it's own. I was stopped at a light and the headrest slammed into the back of my head. I was alone in the vehicle, and nothing struck the seat or my vehicle. Upon inspection, the plastic clips that hold the metal bar in place have broken. It caused a headache and neck pain, as it jarred me unexpectedly. This affected my safety, and had I been moving at the time it could have caused an accident, putting others at risk as well. I called the dealer I purchased the vehicle from and was quoted over $600 for the part (replacement headrest) and labor, but have not taken it in for them to inspect it. There were no claims filed, so no inspections have occurred. There were no warnings, neither lights or messages, or any other problems with any part of the driver's seat. It just exploded.

My van was parked in my driveway overnight and both of the headrests deployed. I am grateful I was not driving it. I couldn-??t get them to close they are stuck open. When called dealer was told was not covered even though I have Mopar coverage. Since it-??s so much to fix it out of pocket the safety feature is virtually useless because I can-??t have it fixed.

I was sitting in my parked car, engine off, waiting for someone. The driver's side headrest popped open suddenly. I cannot put it back in position because the plastic tabs inside are broken. I am thankful I was leaning forward reading a book and that I was not driving as this could have been painful and/or dangerous.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the driver side front headrest deployed without impact. The contact was slammed in the back of the head due to the failure and suffered a minor headache. The contact called james Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of cedar lake(13007 wicker ave, cedar lake, in 46303) by phone and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle; he was then given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

The headrest deployed and will not go back in. This is a feature to prevent whiplash in a crash, but the vehicle was parked when the headrest deployed. This is dangerous and now I am concerned about my safety driving if it happens to the other one unexpectedly.

- Egg Harbor Township, NJ, USA

While my husband was driving the passenger side headrest deployed for no reason! I happened to be sitting in the seat at the time and thankfully it didn't hurt me but it scared the crud out of me!! we were actually only going about 5mph as we were coming out of the parking lot of a chic-fil-a.

- Patterson, LA, USA

The front passenger headrest popped open. I wasn't driving or even in the car when it happened thankfully. I came out to the car and it had popped. It has been hot here and wondered if that caused it, but if that is the case it is very scary as it makes me wonder if that'll happen to other parts of the car. As is I'm worried about the driver side as that seat stopped working within a month of me purchasing it. And now it isn't working again.

- San Antonio, TX, USA

While driving to work, the driver side head rest deployed. I was not involved in an accident, just idling at a stoplight. Thankfully, I did not sustain any injuries. I called the dealership I purchased from and the service department said that the repair cost would be out of my pocket. How is this ok when it clearly has to be a manufacturer malfunction. This seriously needs some attention and a recall issued.

- Sn Bernrdno, CA, USA

The headrest on the passenger seat popped open while I was driving, scared me. Now I am afraid, my drivers side will do the same while I am driving causing a terrible hazard for me. I went to dealership and they said not their problem and wanted to charge me $900 to fix it. This should be recalled. I did not have them do it due to the cost to me.

- Lake Placid, FL, USA

Drivers side headrest deployed without being in an accident. Vehicle was parked and unattended when deployment occurred.

- Armada, MI, USA

2015 Dodge Grand Caravan was parked in our driveway, not started. I was seated in driver seat after just entering the vehicle, door still open, I activated the passenger side power sliding door so my family could enter the rear. My wife opened the front passenger door but had not entered the vehicle, she was assisting the kids entering the rear. The passenger seat headrest suddenly burst open and extended forward. Everyone jumped at the sudden noise. I looked over and saw the headrest distended and didn't know it could do that. I inspected the headrest and saw arms and latches that indicated it could be moved. I attempted to return it to normal but it would not move very easily. We decided to leave it as we were on our way somewhere. Later I again attempted to put it back together but it would not stay together. I looked online for possible repair information and found it to be described as a safety feature to help prevent whiplash injury and that it should not deploy without a crash. No other safety features deployed. The vehicle still operated normally. I contacted Dodge directly through online chat and spent over 30 minutes describing everything in detail and was told a manager would be contacting me in 1-2 days. After a week, no call was received. I again contacted Dodge and was given the run around with request for all the information again even though the agent pulled up the file and told me what had happened. They refused to send it to a manager again unless I spent another 30+ minutes describing everything in detail again. I told them I was pulling up the NHTSA website to file a complaint and they immediately gave me a case number and forwarded the issue without having to provide any information again. I told them it seemed they were running me in circles.
