I was driving down the road and my driver seat head rest randomly deployed. Luckily my head was not on it at the time as I was looking in my mirrors to move over a lane on the interstate. If my head had been on it and it deployed, there's no telling what could've happened, especially since I was driving down the interstate. I thought someone had run into the side of my vehicle it was so loud. This is not safe and should be a recall. I took it to the dealership to get fixed, and it cost's over $500 to fix it. I can't afford to pay $500 to fix that. What happens if another is deployed? this needs to be checked and fixed on all these vehicle as it is not safe and can randomly deploy at any time. Please make this a recall!

Seat side panel coming off after plastic tabs broke, seat belt is attached to this part and the damage gets worse every time I get in the car, since the panel is where a person would get in the car and the panel is only held on by 2 small plastic tabs that are not meant for holding a persons weight.
