Consumer Description

My driver seat headrest popped out while I was driving and hit the back of my head rather hard. It startled me and thankfully I was able to keep control of my vehicle. After investigating the issue, it is visible that the clips that hold the pressured headrest in place are broken. Jeep dealership said it is not a warranty issue and not a recall issue. It should be a defect issue for replacement. No warning lamps went off, no beeping prior to hit happening. Also, a few months later, the passenger headrest did the exact same thing. Nobody was even in the seat. I was driving and I heard a pop sound and looked over at the headrest protruding from its frame. Sure enough, same problem. Something broke inside of the headrest and I am unable to press it back together. One headrest doing it may not be an issue; however, BOTH headrest doing it while not being involved in hard breaking or an accident is not acceptabe.
