Driver headrest deployed while driving.

- New Baltimore, MI, USA

On November 26th as I was driving the headrest just popped and hit the back of my head, after doing a little bit of research I found out it's actually an airbag, nothing hit the back of the seat since I was the only one in the car, I'm concern as to how this had happened and if the other headrest will go off as well.

My whole steering column is causing problems from airbags, my wipers not working now, speed-control wont work., traction control. Causing my car to swerve out of control and causing my car to almost rollover as it went into oncoming traffic, I keep having to change my tires including the back tires the most.the car was in motion when this happened.the light is on the dash, but no one will fix it, I have a son who is 14 years old I bought the car because I thought it would be dependable. My son has to have a live and kidney transplant. The car is still under 100,000, miles. So you can imagine when I found all this out. They said or the dealer said that the car does have recalls but wont fix them, I was told that there is a wiring harness problem. Please help, thank you, [xxx] ps: There are still other issues not listed above. The car is leaking oil around the oil pan. I am shocked as I have always been a Dodge lover information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was waiting for my son to get out of practice. The car was off and I was smacked very hard in the head from behind. I looked back to see the the headrest had popped out. After researching the issue, I thought it needed reset. Bit after looking at it, the plastic connection points of the pin had actually broke and the headrest cannot be reset but now needs to be replaced at a crazy price.

My driver side headrest deployed while driving. I was driving and heard a noise and when I got to the stop light I noticed it had deployed as was fully open. Clearly this is a defect in manufacturing. Look at the Dodge Journey forums and you'll see many others have this issue. That is why I did a search on recalls and came across this site and so many others have the same issue, so Dodge we are waiting on you. Ps that is properly why my check engine light came on..

Driver side head rest violently burst apart during normal operation going down the highway. No impact to car one way or the other to cause damage. The impact hit the back of my wife's head causing disorientation and the frighten awareness she had been struck. At the time, she was not aware of what hit her until she noticed the head rest had come apart. The head rest is now showing the components of the mechanism and driving is now difficult. There is noticeable plastic components that appear to be shattered or damaged inside the headrest.

Was in an accident. Went off the side of the road, though a yard and over an embankment resting against a tree. Front end damage, and damage to both sides of the vehicle. No airbags deployed. Vehicle was traveling at approximately 58-60 mph at the time of the crash. This was on a state rural route.

This vehicle was involved in a one vehicle crash. The vehicle struck a utility pole at 28mph. The impact was in the center front. The car has been downloaded using Bosch data retrieval software. I am a crash reconstruction trooper with the Ohio state highway patrol. All data in the download would normally indicate that the airbags and seat belts would have activated. The concern is as to why none of the safety restraint system seems to have worked. Please contact me for additional information.

The airbag light on instrument cluster came on and stays on - this apparently disables airbags so they will not go off in the event of a crash.
