This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The headrest on the driver's side popped open when I was driving. I had backed out of my driveway and had changed to drive and as I did the headrest popped open. It hit me in the back of my head. Luckily I was driving slow and I could pull over to find out what happen and discovered that the headrest popped open. In trying to find out what was going on with the headrest I discovered a small piece of plastic that came out of the headrest. I am unable to reset the headrest due to this broken piece of plastic. I am glad that I wasn't driving at a faster speed as the bump from the headrest may have caused me to put on the breaks or change lanes as a result of the hit on my head.
There is a known potential problem of the inadvertent deployment of one or both of the front seat active head restraints. This can cause a concussion and can cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle after being struck in the head. The cause is a cheap plastic pin that is under constant pressure and has deteriorated over time and release without warning. This known potential problem has not happened to me yet. But Jeep (fca) issued a warning and extended the warranty but has not yet issued a recall to fix the potential problem. They are only fixing this if it has deployed, leaving all other customers worrying and waiting for a potential hit to the head anytime while driving. There already is a class action suit against fca in Florida.
