The drivers side active headrest popped out while I was driving down the road at about 40mph

- Troy, MO, USA

I own a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with roughly 50,000 miles. This morning, I entered my car (which had been parked for several days and had not been used), and my front passenger head rest deployed. Upon inspecting the head rest, it looks as if the molded plastic piece that holds a securing/fastening pin in place broke. I am unable to reset the headrest due to the broken/defective piece. I visited several Jeep owner forums, and it seems as if this is a significant safety issue that happens time and again. It needs to be corrected. I was lucky no one was sitting in the seat when the head rest deployed. I hope the same thing does not happen to the driver's side head rest (particularly, while I'm driving).

The driverside active headrest deployed, hitting the back of my head while driving. I was maintaining a consistent speed on a smooth highway when it happen. Looking at the headrest you can see some broken plastic part that may have lead to it's unexpected deployment.

Vehicle in motion. Freeway driving speed on US101. Driver's side seat headrest restraint suddenly 'popped' and expanded into the back of my head without warning. No accident or other to cause the restraint system to release. Very dangerous situation to have occur unexpectedly when driving 60 mph. Upon examination, I found the structure that holds the system together, which is under constant pressure, was made of plastic. The plastic arms that hold a metal release pin, had fatigued over time and simply broke, which released the head restraint unexpectedly. Further, it cannnot be reset. Requires an expensive replacement. This is a dangerous material construction design defect.

While driving (motion) on highway 378 - lexington, SC - 2/14/20, the passenger seat popped out unexpectedly, luckily no one was sitting in the passenger seat at the time. I'm worried this will happen with my driver's head seat at this time. I went to the dealership to get it fixed and they said would cost me $700, since my warranty was expired. I called Chrysler/Jeep customer service and filed a claim for them to waive the $700 fee. They told me that since I was the (2nd) owner not the original owner and that my warranty was expired they denied my claim. I told them when I bought the car there have been no wrecks recorded on the vehicle at all, this was crazy to me, that they wouldn't fix my passenger head seat. I filed the claim on 2/28/20 @ 1-800-992-1997. I was at the Chrysler/Jeep dealership located in columbia, SC.

Fca uconnect sending forced updates to certain vehicles with uconnect systems onboard (satellite signal sent directly to vehicle). A known issue by fca, is that the forced update fails during the update rendering certain features useless. In my encounter the system update failed and most electronic systems were not functional such as defroster, control of the power seats, the vehicles lighting systems among other systems. This is dangerous and fca is aware of this failure yet they have failed to notify consumers of such failure and how it could adversely effect their control and access to function of the motor vehicle while in operation.

I was driving around 65 mph on a highway when the active headrest popped out forcefully, hitting me in the back of the head. It was enough to cause me to veer into a neighboring lane, but fortunately I regained control of the vehicle. There are so many reports of this happening to other drivers, and it is only a matter of time until it causes an accident. To be clear, I did not hit a pothole or anything on the road'the headrest just popped out for no apparent reason. I inspected the headrest later and found that the pin that holds the headrest in place had snapped in half. This happened last year on a 2014 model Jeep Grand Cherokee.

While driving straight on the highway, the driver's seat headrest active headrest deployed. There was no collision, no obvious reason for the headrest to deploy. It appears that a plastic piece has broken. I can move the headrest back into place, but it does not lock back in place.
