I was driving the vehicle when my drivers headrest popped and hit the back of my head. I pulled over to see what happened and it looks as though the headrest exploded but nothing came out. I-€™m not sure if an airbag was supposed to deploy but it did not. Luckily because my son was in the back seat, not sure if air bag was suppose to deploy or not. I did not hit anything when it happened and I was just driving. Consumer has notified the dealer to get it repaired.

We were entering the vehicle, as I was getting into the drivers seat there was a terrible noise beside my right ear and pressure on my head. At the same time my grandson was entering in the rear seat behind me and was hit in left ear area with an exploding Active headrest restraint. The car had been remotely started but was not actually running yet and was in park with nothing behind it. I had no idea of this potential hazard, we drive long distances with grandchildren in the rear seat and if this would have or if the passenger headrest explodes while driving, it could be catastrophic. This is not acceptable. They should be replaced immediately, not wait until they actually cause a catastrophy !!!! I would rather not be in constant fear of the next explosion in my car which could have far worse results.

Driving down the road the passenger headrest just popped off with no rear end collision. This should be a recall as this has many people with the same issue.

While parked, the front passenger head rest exploded, part of a rear-collision safety feature as I understand it. Concern is this could cause head/neck injury or worse if it occurs on the driver side while driving, this could cause an accident

I thought somehow I broke my headrest and didn't realize. But when I went to look it up and to my surprise I see hundreds of people with he same exact issue. Car was not moving and was parked behind my business, came back to the headrest deployed. Surprised Jeep hasn't recalled this yet seems like a major issue, can't even imagine if someone was sitting and it exploded.

I was driving on a highway at approximately 5 mph. I was in a line of traffic and we were nearing a stop sign when I heard a very loud noise and felt something hit the back of my head, thrusting my head forward. I initially thought I had been rear ended by another vehicle, but then I discovered that my headrest had spontaneously deployed. The headrest is unable to be reset because the plastic pieces that keep it together are broken, which appears to be why it spontaneously deployed.

While driving approaching a stop my driver side headrest air bag deployed striking me in the head and almost causing an accident with the stopped vehicle infont of me. Upon resuming driving no airbag indicator light was present. When I arrived at my home I noticed the retainer did not release rather the plastic around the retainer pin failed causing deployment. I see this is an ongoing problem with many and fear the passengers side will fail next.

The passenger side headrest deployed. The car was sitting in the driveway. No one was hurt. It appears that the plastic pieces clamped on to the metal bar that was holding the headrest closed broke, causing the headrest to open. I notified Jeep customer care and they told me someone would call me concerning my case and I have not received that call at this time.

Grand Cherokee

  • 75,000 miles
The headrest on my Jeep popped forward suddenly and unexpectedly while parked. This appears to have been caused by a failure of the plastic parts of the whiplash mitigation system built into the seat. While the seat was unoccupied at the time I feel this would have caused injury had someone been in the seat.

  • 71,000 miles
We had just left home on a family trip, traveling at highway speeds. The passenger headrest violently sprang open, striking myself in the head. We were a lie to get the vehicle stoped, looked the whole vehicle over to make sure nothing could have cause the headrest to release like that. The headrest plastic that locks into the safety release had broken due to deterioration of the plastic. Luckily it wasn't the driver side because it possibly could have caused a wreak/loss of life. Still waiting on manufacture to resolve the issue.
