Description of the problem | Active headrest on driver's side deployed without warning or cause while driving approximately 40 mph. Hit me in the back of the head, startling me and causing me to swerve into oncoming traffic lane. Fortunately no one was oncoming during that time. Pulled over and surveyed that the shell of the headrest was deployed and all plastic pieces holding cover to shell were snapped inside. Could not reset into normal position. |
