Driver side headrest deployed while driving vehicle on the highway. Headrest fastener was damaged in the process making the fastener unrepairable. Dealer states there is no current open recall on this issue even though there are numerous complaints about the same issue online. I took it to the dealer to see if there was a recall and they said it would be $700 to replace. The invoice says they " inspected the…

The active head restraints (ahr) on the driver side deployed during driving on the highway within legal speed limits without any reason, i.e. Not accident or impact from any side to the vehicle. Luckily the driver was not hurt due to distance to the head rest at that very moment. The snapping luckily also did not cause too much distraction. The head rest is now destroyed, i.e. Split in half and dangling due to the…

While sitting parked in a parking spot and engine running the headrest deployed while my head was against it. There was no collision with any other vehicles or objects. It caused my head to fly forward at an accelerated rate causing neck pain and a massive headache. The noise when it deployed was extremely loud as if someone took a baseball bat to the back of the headrest. When looking inside afterwards there is…

Check engine light is coming on for evap problem. I don't have a gas cap. The dealership supposedly fixed the issue, 1 week later...it's on again. Seat inside packing is no longer in place. Driving over bumps sounds like the suspension is broke.

While stopped, the active head restraint ( driver side) deployed without cause or notice. There were no injuries, but my 9 month old granddaughter was in the vehicle. Needless to say this could have been bad if we were at highway speed,or in traffic. Inspection of the headrest shows locking pin support failure ( broken plastic).

My 2015 durango's "active headrest restraint" deployed while the vehicle was completely off. In fact, we did not even have the keys with us. My wife was wiping down the seats and center console, when it very suddenly and loudly "popped" open. We have the extended warranty, which chrysler refused to accept for the repair. Vehicle had 21,000 miles and was parked (turned completely off) in a driveway. I suspect this…

Whilst driving on the highway, with no warning, collision or incident involved, the front seat passenger headrest exploded open. I was never provided with an owners manual when i purchased the car (and had no idea i had active headrests), the passenger was shaken, but hopefully has no longer term injuries. The car only has 27,300 miles and i don't do a lot of driving. This was a real shock and i regard it as a…

Was driving and had to brake suddenly and the drivers headrest deployed (active headrest) but there was no rear collision or any collision for that matter. My head never touched the headrest. Just heard a pop and the spring loaded headrest popped forward and will not reset. Contacted the dealership and it is going to cost approximately $800 to fix the headrest.

The device errantly deployed. Had a passenger been in the vehicle this could have resulted in serious injury. The vehicle was not in motion. Through online research, i noted that this seems to be a common issue. But i do not see a recall…
