    Vehicle was stationary in my driveway, i was sitting in the driver seat. Vehicle was running, but in "park", driver's door open. My husband reached in from outside to hug me goodbye, and the driver's side headrest popped open. Powerful enough to move my head forward, but not powerful enough to cause pain or injury. We tried to put it back together (not realizing that there was an airbag in there), and were…

    I was driving my 2013 dodge durango citadel. While driving approximately 45 mph the passenger side headrest became dislodged and sprung open out of no where. Thankfully, no one was in the seat as they could have been severely injured. After contacting the dealership it appears the plastic retaining pin receiver had broke. Small pieces of plastic were inside the headrest and it is unable to be reset. The dealership…

    Vehicle was backed into a parking spot at a restaurant with no possibility of a rear end collision when the active head restraint on the drivers side deployed. Fortunately we were parked, otherwise it could have very easily caused an accident. I have noticed a number of complaints about the issue from others as well. The plastic that holds the retention rod broke causing the release, so the whole unit has to be…

    My wife and i were driving down the road when the passenger side active headrest deployed. When it deployed it hit her in the back of the head and gave her whiplash. I researched it online and it appears that this is a common problem with dodge vehicles. I attempted to reset the spring loaded active headrest to discover that the reason it had deployed is because the plastic retaining pin receiver was broken. I have…

    Vehicle was involved in a side impact that raised vehicle to approximately 30 degrees. Body shop said airbags should have deployed. Explained to the dealer on several occasions and there was no check done to confirm that airbags were in working order. Dealer says that it obviously wasn't sufficient enough impact to deploy airbags. I'm not convinced after reading about defects. Electrical system was addressed on…
