My headrest (AHR) Deployed while I was at a stop light. I was not rear-ended. For that to happen. I checked online, to recalls have been made in regards to it. I took it to a dodge service center, they took pictures. On the first day. Then today I had to bring it back in, so they could inspect it. They also took more photos and let me know that it had failed and a pin was broken. A small black sharp piece was on my seat. Which I believe is what failed. I'm truly lucky I was not in motion when it happened. Something like this could cause someone to wreck or seriously injure someone. I did go to the er after it happen and they said a tbi(traumatic brain injury) and a sprain of my neck.
I have been getting airbag alert on dashboard since car was purchased in 2017-??would go away and come back on here and there. The headrest in passenger side deployed while driving!!! Ridiculous!
Light has been illuminating every few days, it will ding when it comes on then stay lit for several days. Not sure if the wiring under my passenger seat is loose or whats going on.

The drivers side headrest popped open while I was sitting in the parking lot and adjusting my seat before I drove off. The metal pin is missing and the plastic part that was holding it is broken. No accident, just opened on its own. That would have been bad if it hit me while I was driving down the street.
After reclining the seat, the passenger's side headrest deployed. At the time the vehicle was stationary in a parking lot. Not sure why that happened. Don't know what to do about this, take it to the dealer or what. Is there a recall on the headrests?
My horn randomly blows while parked. Vehicle is in park and the doors are shut and locked. No one around the vehicle. It has happened 4 times today. Once I get out to the vehicle to investigate the problem the horn stops blowing on its own. When it happens numerous times or continuously it runs the battery down.
We were driving my car last night and all of a sudden there was a big pop sound and my husband got hit in the back of the head with the headrest. I guess what had happened was the headrest deployed out of the blue for no reason.
The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. While driving approximately between 62-74 mph, the vehicle shook and a loud noise was heard underneath the vehicle. Also, while driving, the vehicle's rear end tended to sway towards the right. The contact stated that the vehicle's driver's seat failed to lock in the desired position. The contact took the vehicle to direct Chrysler Dodge (located at 495 w lee hwy, wytheville, va 24382, 276-521-2620) where a front and rear wheel alignment was performed. The dealer also replaced the driver's seat and latch, struts, and sway bar. The contact stated that the noise from underneath the vehicle remained, the shaking persisted, and the seat still failed to lock in place. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000. The VIN was unavailable.
