   The airbag compartment in the drivers seat headrest popped open while driving and I have been unable to pop it back in. I was not injured but it scared me and could have caused an accident.

   As I was driving down the road, doing about 40-45 mph, the airbag in my driver's seat headrest deployed. I was jolted forward and suffered neck and back pain, as well as a headache. Due to the neck and back pain, I had to visit the ER and have a CT scan done. There were no lights on the dash at the time of this happening to indicate it was going to malfunction. This has not been investigated yet, as it happened over the weekend but I will be reporting to the manufacturer as…

    Came out to vehicle to drive and noticed driver side headrest was deployed forward and came apart. The vehicle was not in an accident and there were no prior alarms or notifications on the dash system to indicate this would happen. Luckily the headrest didn't deploy while someone was driving. The Dodge dealer says this repair or replacement is not their responsibility. This issue has not currently been resolved.

    The driver side headrest deployed in my 2014 dodge grand caravan while i was driving on the highway. After closer inspection the plastic clips that retain the metal lock bar (not sure exactly what this is called) broke. This cannot be disengaged and nearly caused me to wreck my van. Called the dealership and they said no recalls are in place for this. This is insanely dangerous.

    Active headrest deployed without a crash. Plastic retaining slots broken. Car was not moving. This is the second one to break like this and i'm not happy about having to pay another $900 for what is obviously a design flaw
