Description of the problem | In july 2019 i walked out to my car and noticed that the head rest had deployed. My car was not moved or in any accidents. After doing research i noticed that many other jeep patriot consumers have had the same problem with the headrest deploying without there being an accident or any type of trans happening to the car. This is very dangerous for the driver as well as the passenger in the vehicle. This can cause a serious injury for those in the car and possible others if it is deployed while someone is driving and an accident is then truly caused. I see there has been no recall on this but there needs to be. The cost of having this being replaced should not be left up to the consumer. Jeep is a well known company and should have to pay. I pray no serious injuries occur to others from this issue. |
