The seat head rest of my 2014 jeep burst open by itself, this could have caused great harm to my head.
Was driving about 3 mph and head rest on drivers side exploded, the head rest popped out and sounded like a gun going off in my vehicle. it exploded forward at a high rate of speed and was terrifying
I was sitting in my front passenger seat, car off, in park, and the headrest deployed. there was no collision or movement or any kind.
While driving straight on the highway, the driver's seat headrest active headrest deployed. there was no collision, no obvious reason for the headrest to deploy. it appears that a plastic piece has broken. i can move the headrest back into place, but it does not lock back in place.
I had just parked my jeep and reached in the back seat to grab something when my headrest popped open and smacked me in the side of my head. didnt feel great and i cant get it close back up. heard other people have had this problem, hopefully they recall this soon. love my jeep.
Passenger side headrest burst open. no accident, no collision. car was parked.
The headrest on my frontpassanger seat deployed while the car was parked. my husband and i were getting out to go into a restaraunt and it popped forward/open
Headrest on driver seat popped out while in the garage. 2014 jeep grand cherokee overland 2wd 5.7l
Unlocked jeep to discover the passenger headrest had deployed. looked closer at the mechanism to discover the plastic structure, retaining the "floating"pin that holds the headrest in place, was completely cracked allowing the headrest to move to its most forward "deployed"position. the jeep was stationary on a city street parked overnight, no collision occurred, and there were no occupants at the time of malfunction.
I was driving on a city street on christmas eve at 35 mph and the driver side headrest deployed and struck me in the back of the head. we were not involved in an accident, but i was in significant pain for a couple days.
Stopped at a light with my daughter. (vehicle was stationary) she went to lift the headrest and it deployed. posted to forum here and saw many others having same exact issue. https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f309/headrest-deployed-4265585/index3.html
Passenger head rest popped up while driving.
While car was traveling at approx 45mph on interstate, without any interruption to an otherwise smooth ride, both headrests deployed the crash-release mechanism and sprung out to drill my wife (driver) and i in the back of the head with heavy force. my first thought was that we had been rear ended. we were lucky to pull over, and gather ourselves before proceeding (with a headache).
Drivers side headrest deployed without a collision. vehicle was stationary and off.
Inadvertent deployment of "active headrest" on driver's seat with no accident. headrest spontaneously burst open. vehicle was stationary and gear shifter was in park in my driveway with the engine running.
