 Description of the problem2015 dodge grand caravan was parked in our driveway, not started. I was seated in driver seat after just entering the vehicle, door still open, i activated the passenger side power sliding door so my family could enter the rear. My wife opened the front passenger door but had not entered the vehicle, she was assisting the kids entering the rear. The passenger seat headrest suddenly burst open and extended forward. Everyone jumped at the sudden noise. I looked over and saw the headrest distended and didn't know it could do that. I inspected the headrest and saw arms and latches that indicated it could be moved. I attempted to return it to normal but it would not move very easily. We decided to leave it as we were on our way somewhere. Later i again attempted to put it back together but it would not stay together. I looked online for possible repair information and found it to be described as a safety feature to help prevent whiplash injury and that it should not deploy without a crash. No other safety features deployed. The vehicle still operated normally. I contacted dodge directly through online chat and spent over 30 minutes describing everything in detail and was told a manager would be contacting me in 1-2 days. After a week, no call was received. I again contacted dodge and was given the run around with request for all the information again even though the agent pulled up the file and told me what had happened. They refused to send it to a manager again unless i spent another 30+ minutes describing everything in detail again. I told them i was pulling up the nhtsa website to file a complaint and they immediately gave me a case number and forwarded the issue without having to provide any information again. I told them it seemed they were running me in circles.
