My driver seat headrest had deployed somehow without getting into an thankfully I wasn't driving but I noticed it when I got into my car. The headrest also doesn't go back into place it seemed to have broke the clamps that hold the silver pole and the clamps that hold the silver pole is also locked.
The driver's headrest in my 2016 Dodge Journey has deployed and will not reset. The plastic pieces that hold the metal bar have broken. I have read about many other owners of Journeys, that are experiencing the same issue, yet there is no official recall. I have not taken it to be inspected.
The passenger side active head restraint (AHR) burst open injuring the owner who was sitting in the passenger seat while the vehicle was moving. There was no rear end impact and there was no reason for the AHR to malfunction.

The other day I noticed my air bag warning light was on on my dashboard. I had my car hooked up to run the codes for the dash lights. It came back as the airbags in the drivers and passenger headrests had popped or started to pop. I had the headrests looked at and the black plastic cover on the back of it is partially coming off. There is a gap between the front of the headrest and the back of the headrest, big enough my finger can fit through. I was not in a car accident or anything like that, my car was parked for a few days and when I went to drive it, this is how I found it.
Front passenger headrest popped out of no where and won't go back into place. It snapped and broke, scared the living daylights of my child. No crash. Car was parked and we were putting items in the trunk.
Sometimes when I turn my car on the front screen won-??t turn on it will stay black, when I go to back up my rear view camera won-??t work, sometimes my two front windows won-??t roll down, my defroster won-??t turn on in the front, my blowers used to work where I was able to switch them to defrost, just face, or feet but it-??s just stuck on one setting and my passenger side blows hot air when the AC is on. In winter it-??s hard to see out my front window even when I let the car warm up, it will fog up while I-??m driving and it causes me not to see and could potentially cause a major accident, also in the summertime when I need the AC for my children and it-??s not working properly can effect them as well, my car definitely should be on the recall list for several things that have been recalled, I feel unsafe to drive it especially with my babies in the car. It-??s my only transportation for anything! Along side with my AWD light flickering on and off and causing my car to slow down and not accelerate, it feels like it-??s going to stall and would not be good in the middle of traffic.
I I sat down in the passengers seat and adjusted the seat back. When I leaned back the head snapped out with a degree of force and hit me in the back of the head. It appears to be broken as it will not go back in to place and remain there. The car was in park at the time and was not hit or bumped by another vehicle.
Passenger side head restrain is deployed/broken. Came out to car in morning and head restrain was split open. Appears to be broken tabs and cannot be reassembled. Now have a broken head restrain on passenger seat. Seems unsafe. Not moving, not not occupied.
While my car was parked in the drive way at my house, the passenger side head rest restraint deployed when no one was in the vehicle. Parked the vehicle Monday (11/23/2020) at 6:00 pm cst. Went to drive the car on Tuesday (11/24/2020) at 11:30 cst and the head rest restraint on the passenger side front seat had deployed. There is no evidence of the vehicle being struck while parked.
Headrest deployed while driving. No crash no one in passenger seat or behind it. Driving in city on a straight street. Upon further investigation it appears a small plastic piece that holds a pin has broken off.
