Description of the problem | While traveling on vacation, and at the time parked in a rest area, the front passenger headrest randomly exploded in my 2014 dodge durango. Luckily nobody was sitting in the seat at the time and no injury occurred. We bought this vehicle new and it has never been in a crash. Nothing occurred to cause this headrest to do this. Plastic pieces are broken and the headrest cannot be reset, it has to be replaced. The estimate for this repair is over $700. My wife drives this vehicle as a daily driver and i am concerned that the drivers seat headrest will do the same thing while we are driving, causing an accident. |
