| Description of the problem | While driving my 2014 jeep grand cherokee, my drivers side head rest "exploded" and hit me in the back of the head. The force pushed me forward and i immediately thought i was rear-ended. I ended up with a severe headache and sore neck. I can see this defect easily causing an accident. I was driving straight ahead, but could have easily lost control if i was going around a curve or expressway ramp. |
