Description of the problem	The passenger seat headrest deployed while the car was sitting in my driveway sometime between sunday evening (5/26) and tuesday afternoon (5/28). The car had not been involved in any accidents prior to or during this time frame. My husband and i had driven our 2015 dodge caravan on sunday. I was in the passenger seat. I am 8 months pregnant. On monday, we did not drive the van. On tuesday around 12 noon, with the car still in the driveway, i noticed that the passenger side headrest had basically exploded. I called the dealership where i had bought the van (a chevy dealership that had received it in a trade-in). They had never heard of such a thing and told me to bring in the van immediately. That afternoon, i (reluctantly) drove the van the 25 miles to the dealership, leaning forward as far as i could in the driver's seat in case it were to deploy. The dealership called me today, wednesday 5/29, to inform me that chrysler refuses to accept any responsibility for the defect, and would charge nearly $900 to cover the new headrest. Chevy generously offered to cover half the cost since i am a repeat customer, and they saw this as a severe safety issue. I declined, not wanting to spend over $400 to replace a defective part with another part, especially since this would not ease my worries about the safety of the driver's side. I plan to zip tie the headrests with multiple zip ties. There's no other solution at this time. Even if i were to pay to replace the broken passenger headrest, there is no guarantee at this point that either headrest is safe and will function as intended. I would not feel safe driving with one of these headrests ever again. I would trade in the vehicle, but i am worried this will cause significant financial harm since i only just acquired the vehicle in october 2018. Also, i will be having a baby in 1 month and have no money to spare.
