NHTSA Complaint #11704968 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

The 2nd row seat headrest remains in the forward facing position (parallel to the ground) and not upright. The headrest won’t lock into the upright position anymore which is causing a major safety concern. The head rest will move up and down, but not lock into position. The passenger has to hold the headrest into the upright position or not use the seat at all based on safety concerns of head/neck protection in the event of an accident. No accident or incident has happened. The other headrest on the other side works fine for now, but one is broken. I am requesting this headrest to be replaced free of charge by the manufacturer based on safety concerns and safety protection necessary. In addition, this mode of seat and headrest does not work properly with car seats. We have had to uninstall the headrest in order for a car seat to sit flush with the middle seat so the car seat doesn’t rock back and forth.
