Active headrest on front passenger seat forcefully deployed without any collision or impact occurring. It happened during a gradual stop at red light. Bits of broken plastic were found on the passenger seat after deployment. Cannot re-set the headrest because of broken parts. No one was in the seat at the time but now concerned that the same thing will happen to driver's headrest.

I brought my 2012 Mercedes C250 new and I thought I was buying a quality car. However, I noticed last year the driver seat, passenger seat and one of backseat seat cover are ripped. I drive my car everyday to work and my daughter to school on a city street. My daughter weighs about 98 pounds and I weight under 170 pounds and no one sits in the backseat. I am so disappointed with Mercedes Benz company. I will be grateful if Mercedes Benz company will replace my seat covers please stand by your name as a quality company..
