2014 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1451083
Internal NHTSA #	11076058
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2014
File date	26/01/18
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front passenger active head restraint deployed spontaneously overnight with car parked in driveway. Weather was cool, there was no impact to any part of the car, no airbags deployed, the driver side head restraint did not deploy. Broken plastic hooks in the deployed headrest made it impossible to reset the deployed headrest. If this spontaneous deployment had happened while the car was being driven it would clearly have caused a dangerous distraction. If the driver side headrest deploys spontaneously while the car is being driven it would cause a very dangerous distraction and possibly injury to the driver most likely resulting in an accident or collision. I have researched this situation on the internet and i have identified multiple similar spontaneous deployments due to material fatigue reported on forums, with no effort by fiat chrysler to remediate the problem. My local jeep dealer refuses to replace the headrest as my jeep is out of warranty. In my opinion, this represents a design flaw in the active headrest that could result in injury or death if the deployment were to happen while the car is being driven.
