Description of the problem | The vehicle was traveling in a straight line on southbound interstate 5, and traveling at freeway speeds. The front passenger seat head rest unexpectedly deployed- striking the person seated in that seat in the head. Thankfully, it was not the driver's side headrest as this unexpected impact to the head may have caused a reaction resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. When checking online, there appear to multiple occurrences of this type of unnecessary deployment of this type of safety device on dodge vehicles of this era. |
