The active headrest restraint deployed despite not being involved in any collisions, ever. it appears that the plastic, that holds in a pin, failed. the pin is still stuck within the latch in the back of the headrest. and the headrest cannot he reset, as the plastic is blown apart. the dealership has advised that the only repair to this problem is a new headrest.

I was driving on the highway and suddenly i was hit in the back of the head. at first i thought i was hit by another car but i looked around and there was no cars around. i pulled over and looked at my headrest and it exploded and hit me in the head. i called and brought my car in to jeep who said it was the active head restraint and it is set to go off during an accident. i told them i was not in any accident. i then called jeep directly who told me they would investigate the issue and that i should leave my car at jeep. that was 3 week ago. all of my attempt to contact jeep to have them rectify the issue and replace my headrest have gone no where. i have not received any call backs and every time i call them they tell me there is nothing they can do except wait until i am contacted by jeep. this is a big safety issue as i could have run off the road an crashed.
I bought the car less than a year ago. the car is a 2013. the airbag light came on. i went to the dealership to have it checked. they informed me the passenger seat belt needs to be replaced. this seems ridiculous consideing the car is less than 5 years old. i ended up haigb to pay over $300 for a new passenger seat belt including installation. what would have happened had i got into an accident? why is such a new seat belt failing? should i worry that my driver's seat belt will fail as well? it doesn't seem this should be happening on such a new car. i am happy to provide repair receipts as requested.

I was driving on the freeway and the front passenger safety headrest deployed for no reason, frightening me and distracting me from driving. i was not in an accident during or prior to this incident. incident occurred saturday afternoon , november 5, 2016. *tr
While driving aprox. 40 mph on a regular city street in my 2013" jeep grand cherokee, my passenger seat head rest ejected and the spring action lunged it forward causing my entire seats air bag system to malfunction. i was informed at the dealership that it was a malfunction, my only option was to pay thousands to replace it. also that the seat will never go back to its original position and the innards will always show unless i pay to fix it. i was simply driving with my children, nothing out of the ordinary happened. it just went off almost causing me to crash because of the very loud pop causing me to react. i was told that my drivers seat has the same system and basically be cautions while driving. i informed jeep corp. they sent a private corporate investigator. i was informed via formal letter that they will not be fixing the problem. this is the 4th. dangerous malfunction my vehicle has had. #times previously it was a nation wide recall that was taken care of. i fear i will be driving with my children on the freeway when the drivers seat malfunctions and we will crash as a result of this random malfunction. if i crash not only is mine and my families lives in danger but also all of those in the vehicles around me.
On 3/31/2016 i was driving on the highway at approximately 60 miles per hour. unexpectedly my head was thrown forward. there were no cars in front or behind me. i discovered the drivers headrest separated from the headrest backing by at least 3". (see pictures) i took it to a jeep dealership where i was asked if the vehicle was in a front/rear accident. i am the only owner and can verify it was not in a front or rear accident. they explained the headrest is designed to deploy during an accident to prevent whiplash. they attempted to reset it with no success and instructed me to call jeep (800-992-1997). after their attempt to repair the headrest rattles while driving - quite distracting while driving. jeep has failed to repair or replace the headrest and has failed to return my calls for the past two weeks. their communication directed me to attempt to re-set the headrest on my own - which i had the same results as the dealership, unsuccessful. i believe this is a serious safety issue. the unnecessary deployment of a headrest while driving on the highway could cause serious accidents. i would like this situation corrected as i am now driving with a deployed headrest forcing my head forward and rattling.

On jan 7, 2015, while i was driving towards the garage, my vehicle (grand cherokee 2013) suddenly (unexpectedly) accelerated and, although i pressed the brake pedal, it crashed against the wall. the vehicle activated airbags burning and bruising my body; i went to the er and received medical assistance. some of the parts replaced for this crash included, bumper and hood assemblies, a/c ducts and evaporator, grille, radiator, headlight, computer, wiper wash canister, water pump, fan, seat belt and one fender, etc. in addition the crash toll caused structural damages to the property. the service shop completed the repairs on feb 27, 2015. on march 2 and may 20, 2015 i took the vehicle to the authorized service center because of transmission shifting failures. they finally changed the whole transmission by may 29, 2015. on july 2 i took it back to the service center because there was a noisy riding and check engine was on; by july 16 they had replaced one shock absorber, the gas pump and tank, and one oxygen sensor (mileage at this point 22,594). on july 22, 2015 i went back again because of check engine and they kept the vehicle for replacing the catalyst. because of the unexpected acceleration event, all abovementioned repairs, plus five executed recalls (one still open r909/nhtsa 14v-115) and an imminent sixth recall for start button (that does not shuts off); i don't trust this vehicle's safety and quality. i'm afraid of hurting me or someone else; i could not afford repairs at upcoming warranty expiry. therefore, i hope you buy back this defective grand cherokee 2013.
There are now four separate recalls on this vehicle dating back to 2014 and chrysler jeep has refused to address any of these claiming they do not have the parts. my daughter, who is a full time student in pa, has been to several dealerships (brenner chrysler dodge jeep,manahawkin chrysler dodge jeep, 'blaise alexander chrysler dodge jeep) and placed on a wait list however none of these have ever cleared for any of the recalls chrysler jeep has taken no responsibility to address these recalls in any manner and have inconvenienced a college student let alone put her at unnecessary safety risk. these recalls need to be fixed. she will be in nj from may-august. *tr
