| Description of the problem | I was parked in my driveway (as i just got home from work) talking to my daughter and her father (who were parked to my drivers side getting ready to leave in another vehicle) when we all heard a loud noise and something hit the side of my head very hard. The activated head rest shot open for no reason at all. The car was in park and nobody was in the vehicle except for me. There was no impact or anyone touching the outside of the vehicle either. I am fortunate that i was not driving at the time this happened as this could have caused an accident with the impact of the headrest hitting my head. |
