On October 23, 2021 my daughter and I got into our vehicle a 2018 jeep grand cherokee and as I started the vehicle the passenger side headrest deployed unexpectedly striking my daughter in the back of the head causing severe pain which ultimately turn to a very bad headache, this is the second occurrence of this issue the first being back in mid 2020 on the drivers side headrest which I also sustained a very intense blow to the back unexpectedly. I also filed a report on that incident with the NHTSA. This is not acceptable and I am almost positive that their are many people out there that have experienced the same issue but have not reported it! Now being there is no recall of this issue its not right for me or anyone to have to pay out of pocket for a clearly defective issue! This repair should be the Jeep Corporation and not the consumer perhaps I should look into some Law firm for help on this matter!

On May 24,2021 while in vehicle the headrest deployed for no reason at all striking me in the back of the head, had i been actively moving this i feel could have been dangerous. fortunately i was at a stop. I have since then contacted my local dealership and will be taking vehicle in for repair. My concern now is could this happen again? I had no clue this was affecting other vehicles as well until it happened to me, i went online to research headrest deployment and found this is a huge problem! I'm not comfortable with fact that when my wife is driving this vehicle that the possibility of headrest deployment exist!

On 01/09/19 my wife was involved in a single vehicle accident in which her vehicle ran off the roadway down an embankment resulting in the vehicle sustaining a total loss of the vehicle due to damages. The front of the vehicle was completely destroyed as it hit some type of barrier which destroyed the under carriage striking two trees before it came to rest about 300 yards off the roadway. My concern is that none of the airbags deployed in this horrific accident which fortunately my wife only sustained minor injuries.

I was traveling South on cambridge rd. As I was approaching a shopping plaza, a vehicle was attempting to exit the parking lot of the plaza also heading South. As the vehicle was attempting to make the left hand turn, it pulled in front of my car, driving me off the road. I had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting that car, and when I did I crashed into an electrical pole, destroying the entire front end and totaling the car. The airbags did not deploy and this is why I'm filing this report.
