Description of the problem | Traveling in parking lot less than 10mph when suddenly the passenger headrest deployed with a loud bang. Fortunately there was no one sitting in the seat at the time, as it could have caused a serious injury. There was nothing the caused the headrest to deploy. After examination, the cheap plastic pieces holding the headrest in is proper place were broken. I am now greatly concern this will also happen on the drivers side and may cause an injury or accident. It was clearly a failure of a defective part. Sine than i have heard of many similar incidents. This clearly a safety issue and should have a recall from chrysler/dodge |
