Active head restraint deployed on drivers side while auto was moving in parking lot. This unexpected event made the driver come to a sudden stop. There was no impacts of this vehicle into any object. No injury to the driver in the parking lot but is pssible injury to driver and other in the parking lot could have happened. After inspection it looks like a plastic bracket broke inside the active head rest.

Hello, I am reporting failure on the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which the drivers side headrest activated while the vehicle was not in operation and not involved in any accident. The active head restraint had activated while the vehicle was parked and in a non-running condition. No accident occurred during this time frame. The passenger side active headrest is still in the factory location and has not been activated. The drivers side head restraint has activated and can not be returned to original position. My current safety is at risk as the active head restraint is not functioning per original safety design intent. My head and neck are currently constrained in a position that causes discomfort while driving due to the location of the active head restraint. The manufacturer (Authorized dealer) has been contacted and they responded with a response including that a recall was not issued for this...

Passenger headrest popped out while driving downs the road. No accident bump or anything visible set it off. It punched out like an air bag.
#11651189 |
Front passenger side headrest clips faulted causing the headrest to eject. Took it to the dealership and was quoted over $1,000 parts and labor for replacement.

Passenger seat headrest exploded and hit my wife in the head/ear/neck and now she is in a lot of pain. This is the most random thing I have ever seen. My wife and daughter were driving through a parking lot going 4mph and the headrest just exploded. The plastic pieces holding the springs back broke and let the headrest fly forward into my wife’s head/ear/neck

Active Headrest Restraint ( AHR) Drivers Side deployed overnight. This safety feature on many Jeeps is intended to protect motorists including passengers, in the event of rear end collisions by deploying. However a cursory review online reveals many many complaints, recalls, & TSBs . But my entire family now is exposed because Jeep wont extend recalls any longer. My recall expired 11 months ago. I was never notified by mail or by dealership that this recall would expire April 2023. I bought this SUV with understanding of its many safety features like AHD among others. Only makes sense that Stellantis /Jeep extend this recall beyong April 2023 as a result of substandard plastic parts used in headrest. If I had been notified by dealership when Jeep was serviced in 2023 it could have been fixed. All my recalls have previously been fixed. Trying to reach Customer Care at Jeep 877-426-5337...

Heated Seat element on passenger side burned through the upholstery and pant leg of passenger. Visible smoke in cabin and burn hole on seat and pant through to underpants.

Was driving down the road with my young son in the back seat and all of a sudden the head rest came flying forward and smacked the back of my head hard enough for me to swerve and almost get into an accident. After further inspection looking at the headrest once I got home I noticed that a pin is mounted onto some obviously brittle plastic that’s secured to a latch. Well i wasn’t in an accident and just out of nowhere this headrest flipped forward enough to rattle my head a bit.

Driver side, headrest deployed without collision. Parked when airbag deployed.

On the way home from work the Active Head Restraint deployed without there being a rear end collison. The head restraint on driver's side hit my wife in the back of the head and sounded like a loud and startling gunshot-like sound. Since I was on the highway if I had not kept from jerking the steering wheel when the head restraint deployed i could have been in a head on collison. I was able to pull off the road to see what happened. First I called my dealer and they said it wasn't going to be covered under warranty and also call fiat-chrsyler and they said that it wasn't covered. No warning lamps, messages and no other symptoms shown prior to the failure. The dealer did acknowledge verbally that they had had 3 or more other cases. Currently it is at the dealer being repaired and i will ask...

4 days ago, while backing out of a parking spot, the passenger Active Head Restraint (AHR) deployed and struck my girlfriend in the head. There was no interaction with another vehicle and there was no accident. The AHR simply deployed on its own and struck my girlfriend in the head. I have not reset the AHR and left it as is. Please let me know what my next step should be. Thank you [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The active headrest popped open without an accident and can't be reset due to broken internal tabs. Very dangerous if it happens while driving. It's like getting punched in the back of the head by a rock-em sock-em robot.

The active head restraints (AHR) deployed without any collision. I was driving on the interstate when this happened. My neck and shoulders have been sore now for 3 weeks. I went to the dealership and they said I would have to pay for this out of pocket. Chrysler should be paying for these since it is a known fault of small plastic parts that were designed too small to hold the tension of the active headrest assembly.
#11517653 |
The Active Head Restraint (AHR) deployed on it own due to failed plastic internal parts on the passenger headrest. This is a known issue and has been for years. Jeep should correct this issue for all affected vehicles. I fear that the driver headrest will also fail and could potentially lead to a crash. This needs to be addressed.

Passenger headrest separated -- turns out it is called "Active Head Restraint" -- I did not know it was even there! The vehicle was not involved in an accident or rear ended (as I understand activates this). Nobody was injured and in fact nobody was in the vehicle when it went off. This happened a few months ago and thought it was just a broken headrest and I would have to fix it. Upon investigating the headrest last week is when I discovered this has been an issue for a long time. I found a "Warranty Bulletin" put out by Mopar BUT it was not issued to owners of the vehicle. I called the Jeep dealer on 3/2/23 and found out that my vehicle went out of the "Warranty Bulletin" time period just last month. I missed the repair because I was not notified of the issue from Jeep /...

My driver's-side headrest/"airbag" deployed without a collision. I was wiping down my drivers seat after getting the seat dirty and when I wiped over the headrest it popped against my hand and I heard a tinkling noise of something bouncing around inside my vehicle. Further inspection showed that my headrest had popped out like it had deployed in a crash, etc. I was parked in my driveway and was not pushing hard on the headrest. I looked inside the headrest, and also googled this incident, and there are plastic clips inside the headrest that hold it in place. Those plastic clips wore out and broke off, causing the headrest restraint to deploy. I googled this situation and discovered that other people experienced this same thing as well - I got lucky because I wasn't driving when it happened!! But also, after further research, I found out that this is a...

The driver's seat active head restraint spontaneously deployed. There was no collision of any kind. This occurred while vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. The driver (who is not the individual filing this report) suffered a sore neck as a result. At time of deployment, the driver's head was inclined forward and tilted down. Otherwise the injury might have been much worse. This incident could have been exceptionally dangerous if the deployment happened while vehicle was moving. As of today (June 2, 2022), the vehicle has not been inspected by dealership. The first available appointment for repair is June 8, 2022. No warning or other indication given prior to spontaneous deployment. The part is available for inspection by NHTSA, at least until it is taken to dealership. I have uploaded pictures of part.

I was driving down a residential road, going about 30 mph. I went over a very small bump. My driver's side seat headrest exploded open and hit me in the back of the head. It scared me so much I swerved my car. Luckily it was a quiet street and I was going slow or I would have had an accident. I have a medical condition called fibromyalgia so this triggered severe headaches and fatigue for about a week. Luckily no serious injuries. I took it to a Jeep dealership and they said it's covered under the extended warranty and will be repaired for free. But what about a recall to avoid this dangerous safety issue in the first place? What about the passenger seat that is also now waiting to pop open and injure someone?

Drivers side headrest popped open without any collision or contact. It looks like a plastic latch that holds the headrest & airbag in place broke spontaneously.
#11429447 |
The passenger side front seat active headrest disengaged while the vehicle was not in motion. My son was hit in the head but not seriously injured. The car has not been inspected by a dealer. I'm reporting this incident because a dealer will charge a fee to assess the failure and my online research has identified many similar failures without Chrysler accepting responsibility for the defect.

While driving the vehicle under normal weather conditions and normal road conditions, the driver's headrest exploded forward.

On July 15, 2021, I was driving my vehicle 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in my town. My daughter was sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. As I was driving, the passenger headrest deployed unexpectedly for no reason. I heard a loud pop and then my daughter scream as the headrest hit her in the back of the head. She was not injured. I have no idea why this occurred. I went home and researched this online and discovered several articles in which similar incidents have occurred with other people in similar vehicles. I contacted the dealership to see if they were any recalls for this particular issue and I was told no. Also, the representative from the dealership told me they had talked with a supervisor and did not know what I was talking about.

THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED AND NO COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANYTHING HAS OCCURRED. SIMPLY APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE SEAT ACTIVE HEADREST CAUSED BY POOR ENGINEERING OR BEING CONSTRUCTED OF FAULTY MATERIALS WHICH HAVE CAUSED A FAILURE IN THE INTENDED USE OF THE ACTIVE SEAT HEADREST.

THE HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED AND DEPLOYED INCORRECTLY. IT DEPLOYED DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT DURING AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DEPLOYED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN IN MOTION. THERE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. MY WIFE AND I ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER HEADREST DEPLOYING WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AND CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE WERE IN TAMPA, FL WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO CHRYSLER BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED, DESPIT ACKNOWLEDGING THE DANGER THIS COULD CAUSE WHILE DRIVING.

ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO FAILED PLASTIC TABS INSIDE THE HEADREST. WHEN IT DEPLOYS IT SHOOTS FORWARD AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES. THE DEPLOYMENT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT WAS A RANDOM DEPLOYMENT NOT CAUSED BY ANY IMPACT (THE DESIGN IS ACTUALLY TO DEPLOY WHEN THERE IS IMPACT) IN THIS CASE IT DEPLOYS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE HOUSING OF THE PIN WHICH HOLDS THE HEADREST IN PLACE.

WHILE I WAS WIPING DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE-HEADREST IT DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, I WAS CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE PART IN QUESTION IS THE DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE HEAD-REST. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HE HAD SEEN 5 OF THESE AND IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE HEADREST IN PLACE HAD DETERIORATED AND BROKE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS AND TO CALL FCA TO FILE A CLAIM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR WHICH I DID. FCA TOLD ME IF I FIXED IT BEFORE THEY LOOK AT IT THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR. FCA INFORMED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL...

WHILE MY JEEP WAS PARKED, ENGINE OFF, IN MY DRIVEWAY (FLAT SURFACE), MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO GET OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. SHE TOUCHED ON TO THE METAL POLE FRAME OF THE DRIVERS HEADREST WITH HER HAND TO ASSIST HER IN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, THE HEADREST EXPLODED AND HIT HER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD. IT HIT HER HARD ENOUGH FOR HER TO BE STUNNED AND TO SAY SHE SAW STARS. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING YET NO RECALL. CHRYSLER HAS HAD TO RECALL THESE SO CALLED ACTIVE HEADRESTS BEFORE BUT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD AT ROUGHLY 20MPH, MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE HEAD REST EXPLODED AND INJURED MY WIFE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH SOME SERIOUS FORCE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING THE ISSUE I NOTICED THE HEAD REST'S PLASTIC BRACKET HOLDING IT ON HAD FAILED AND BROKE IN HALF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FEATURE FOR A REAR END COLLISION BUT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN THE HEAD REST EXPLODED.
#11129538 |
THE PLASTIC RETAINING BRACKETS IN THE HEADREST'S ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CAUSING THE HEADREST TO FLY INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD. THIS CAUSED SOME TEMPORARY DISORIENTATION AND I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD REAR-ENDED ME. LUCKILY I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY.

PASSENGER HEADREST DISENGAGED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREET UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
#11113512 |
THE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT INSIDE THE DRIVER'S SEAT DEPLOYED DUE TO PLASTIC CLIPS INSIDE BREAKING FOR NO REASON. DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, HIT DRIVER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, STARTLING DRIVER AND NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE, DOCUMENTED BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF GRAND CHEROKEE, YET CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS OR RECALL THE FAULTY PRODUCT. HAVING THE DEPLOYED HEADREST MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO "RESET" IT, SINCE THE INTERNAL PLASTIC PIECES ARE BROKEN. THIS IS AN ON-GOING SAFETY ISSUE, AS PART OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM NOW DOES NOT FUNCTION. ALSO, I AM WORRIED THAT THE OTHER SEAT'S RESTRAINT WILL DEPLOY AT ANY TIME.
#11102187 |

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 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...
