Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING MY 2013 JEEP PATRIOT INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEADREST SUDDENLY AND QUICKLY EXPLODED, PUNCHING ME IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD. I WASN'T EVEN TOUCHING IT AT THE TIME. IN THE 4 OR SO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE RARELY EVEN ADJUSTED IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF I'D BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME.
