2012 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1704354
Internal NHTSA #	11374759
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2012
File date	01/09/20
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver's seat headrest active head restraint deployed open while i was putting items into the back seat from the passenger side. The car was stationary, but running, but hadn't been jarred or hit to provoke the deployment. The plastic tabs on the inside are broken, and i'm not able to reset the headrest into position, and essentially have to hold it in place with my head while i drive (not the most desireable way to drive). I went to jeep to see what it would cost to repair (or replace) and i was told that they no longer manufacture, nor carry the part. ..... They no longer manufacture nor carry a part for an 8 year old car? I find that very suspicious. I'd like to know if there is something that can be done about this. The front passenger seat headrest has not deployed (yet), but i hope it doesn't deploy inadvertently while someone is sitting in the seat.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
