2015 Dodge Journey Seats

While driving in a heavy downpour, the front passenger head rest deployed into automatic restraint position. Vehicle speed was below 30 mph and nothing but rain was impacting the vehicle. Thankfully no one was in the seat at the time or this could have caused a head injury to an unsuspecting passenger.

My car's passenger side headrest deployed while I was sitting in a parking lot. I was the only one in the car and hadn't touched anything. No crash and no warning lights beforehand.

STARTED VEHICLE AS NORMAL. PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON TO RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HEAD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HARD HITTING THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO STOP AND INVESTIGATE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED

I was sitting in passenger seat talk to my family. Vehicle was in parking and the head rest popped open. Causing my head to jerk forward. No one touched head rest it just popped open.

I was driving and my driver's side headrest deployed. The following week my son moved the seat to vacuum and the passenger side head rest deployed.

AFTER PUMPING GAS I GET BACK IN MY CAR TO THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED. IT WAS IN PARK, I WAS NOT DRIVING, THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THIS SHOULD OF HAPPENED. IVE TRIED TO PUT IT BACK AS STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUEL AND IT WILL NOT LOCK BACK IN PLACE. IVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS COST $500 OR MORE TO REPAIR. DODGE NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS!!! IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS COULD OF CAUSED ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ENTERING HIS VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WENT TO GET INTO MY JOURNEY AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER HEADREST HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AND SITTING IN MY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NO REASON FOR IT TO DEPLOY.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 40-45MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE IN MY CAR (BANG) THEN FELT THE FRONT LEFT (DRIVER'S) HEADREST HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD. UPON FURTHER OBSERVATION, I REALIZED THAT THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED ON ME. I WAS NOT HIT NOR WAS ANYTHING TOUCHING THE HEADREST. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS QUOTED OVER $400 TO REPLACE THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN MY CAR. *TR

THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD DISLODGED WITHOUT ANY MAJOR FORCE. THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE BAR HAS CRACKED LEAVING THE HEADREST UNABLE TO SECURE BACK IN PLACE. THE TINY BAR THAT IS LOCKED INTO PLACE WITH TWO PLASTIC PIECES ARE STILL INTACT AND THE TWO PLACES THAT HOLD THE BAR HAS CRACKED OFF BOTH SIDES. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND SHE LEANED ON THE HEADREST CAUSING THIS TO ACTIVATE AND HIT MY WIFE'S HEAD FROM THE BACK WHILE WAITING FOR ME IN THE CAR. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEW ROAD AT 35 MPH WITH NO POTHOLES AND MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED AND STRUCK ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. NOW THERE ARE BROKEN PIECES WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY AND IT WILL NOT CLOSE BACK! IT NOW PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD WHILE *DT CONSUMER STATED HE REACHED OUT TO DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOR IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.*JB

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST RANDOMLY DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. CAN'T RESET IT OR PUSH IT BACK IN. SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH ON THE FREEWAY

I WAS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE HEADREST MADE A STRANGE CRACKING SOUND, AND THEN POPPED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING.

WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH AND MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEADREST IN FRONT POPPED OUT! CAN NOT GET IT TO GO BACK ON! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS!

WE SLID A FOLDING TABLE IN FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR AND BUMPED THE PASSENGER HEADREST AND THE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED.

THE PASSENGER HEADREST POPPED WHILE I WAS RIDING IN THE SEAT.

WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. IT DID NOT ELECTRONICALLY RELEASE, BUT THE PLASTIC GOING AROUND THE RETAINING PIN BROKE. PASSENGER WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BUT NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.

HEADREST ON PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY NOBODY IN IT.

THE HEAD REST ON MY PASSENGER SIDE JUST POPPED OFF AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT THE PLASTIC BREAKS SO EASILY. ALSO THE PLASTIC PARTS ON THE SIDE OF THE TWO FRONT SEATS BREAK AND CRACK SO EASY. ON MY CAR IT'S HANGING IN BY A SINGLE PIECE.

I WENT OUT TO THE CAR ONE MORNING AND THE DRIVER HEADREST HAD POPPED OPEN.

ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE HEAD REST JUST POPPED OPENED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT MY HOUSE MY HOUSE WHICH IS ON E WARREN ST WITHIN 1 DAY OF THE HEAD REST POPPING OPEN. THIS NEED TO BE PLACED AS A RECALL. THE REPAIR COST IS TO EXPENSIVE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL. AFTER MY SON GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND WE BEGAN TO DRIVE OFF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. WE WERE JUST LEAVING THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND TURNING ON TO THE CITY STREET IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE HEADREST BACK INTO IT'S CORRECT POSITION. THIS HAPPENED ON OR AROUND THE 02.27.20. WE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO CHECK INTO HAVING IT FIXED/CORRECTED BEFORE COVID-19 HIT.

MY CHILDREN AND I WERE STOPPED STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON I-75 N IN ATLANTA, GA HEADED TO THE NORTH GEORGIA PREMIUM OUTLETS WHEN MY DAUGHTER'S HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE HEADREST WAS SUDDEN AND CAUSED HER TO WAKE UP FROM HER SLEEP. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS VERY PAINFUL AND CAUSED HER NECK AND HEAD TO HURT.

CAR WAS IN PARK AS IT WAS BEING CLEANED, WE MOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE HEADREST DEPLOYED. UNABLE TO PUT IT BACK IN PLACE THE BECAUSE PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE METAL PIN ARE BROKEN.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO MY CAR IT WAS STILL IN PARK I STARTED MY CAR AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL WHILE THE CAR WAS ON AND PARKED. WHILE TAKING I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. IT SCARED ME AND I THOUGHT SOME ONE HAD SHOT A GUN. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE PASSENGERS SIDE HEAD REST HAD DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I AM THANKING GOD MY FATHER WAS NOT WITH ME THAT DAY AS HE NORMALLY IS. MY DAD HAS A SEVER TBI IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS IN THAT SEAT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT HAPPENED WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM.
