While driving on neighborhood roads, the driver's headrest suddenly popped forward without warning or reason. My head was slammed forward and I lost control of the vehicle. If this had occurred at highway speeds there is a very high probability that I would have crashed the vehicle. As it stands I have a lot of neck pain from strained muscles in the back of my neck.

The passenger headrest has came apart for no reason. The jeep has not been involved in any type of accident. Since there is not a recall the dealerships will not replace this even though there are many complaints about it.

The passenger side headrest deployed. At the time it happened, thank goodness my Mother was not in the vehicle. It has been inspected by the dealership. There were no warning signs. Not happy the driver side headrest won't be replaced at the same time. I was told it had to deploy first. Then replaced.

While my daughter was driving, the driver's side headrest airbag deployed unexpectedly. This happened while driving down the road, at 65 mph, fortunately it did not cause a wreck. It has already happened on passenger side as well.

- Midland, TX, USA

problem #158

Jul 132021

Grand Cherokee

  • miles
The driver's side active head restraint deployed on its own without any sort of collision. Upon further inspection, the plastic which holds a metal rod failed. The rod was still inside of the jaws of the small module which appears to open upon an impact, allowing the AHR to deploy. Upon further research, this is a known issue with similar vehicles. I've since attempted to temporarily repair the thing since we leave for vacation in 2 days and I don't want to drive 2000 miles with the AHR in the deployed position.

- Topeka, KS, USA

problem #157

Jul 052021

Grand Cherokee

  • miles
The passenger side headrest deployed without being triggered. Passenger was in the seat at the time the headrest deployed. The plastic inside the headrest broke during deployment or before and headrest will not reseat.

- El Dorado, AR, USA

problem #156

May 152021

Grand Cherokee

  • miles
In May 2021, the headrest on the passenger side of the car was noticed to be partially 'popped out' one afternoon. The next morning, after being parked all night, the headrest was fully popped out. There was no damage to the car prior and no accident whatsoever. This active headrest could have popped out while a passenger was in the car and hurt someone. The driver side has not popped out (yet) but now i'm concerned it could deploy while i'm driving. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealer/manufacturer yet, as the car is being driven very little over the past 18 months (covid, work from home, etc). There were no symptoms prior to failure, no accidents, no damage to the vehicle.
