Description of the problem	I was driving normal city street speed (approx. 40-45mph) while running some errands on march 23, 2019 when all of sudden my front passenger seat headrest sprang open with a loud noise. There was no accident or collision to prompt the release of the headrest. When returning home, my husband and i tried to put the headrest back into place when we noticed a plastic bracket that would hold the pin in place, and therefore lock the headrest back into position, was broken. I called my local jeep dealership that following monday to inquire about repairing the headrest. Because my car is outside of its warranty, the parts and labor would cost me $1000. The services speacialist at the dealership then suggested to me that i should get in a little "fender bender" and have the headrest repaired under my insurance coverage (also known as insurance fraud). I find it appaling that a flaw in their design, which could potentially cause an accident (imagine if my driver's side headrest all of a sudden deploys while i'm driving??), is not being managed by the car maker, and instead, accepts the money for the repairs any way they can get it. I am absolutely disgusted by this incident, but grateful that no one was sitting in the passenger seat when the headrest snapped.
