Description of the problem	While parked with the vehicle off, i was sitting in the driver seat when i suddenly heard a loud bang. I looked all around and saw the active head restraint on the passenger seat had exploded. Plastic pieces went flying out. The sound was very loud and startling, and the incident occured with no provocation. Through google searches, many other incidences of this can be seen happening. Some people have the head restraint impact their head while driving, which could have caused them to wreck. I am terrified that the driver side will do the same thing, and cause me to wreck due to the shock of being hit in the head. Furthermore, the vehicle is only 3. 5 years old and under 100,000 miles. Jeep has stated that this is not covered and that it is part of normal wear and tear. I adamently dissagree with this statement. The active head restraints are held under high tension with a piece of plastic. When this piece of plastic fatigues due to the stresses of the spring tension, the headrest releases. This is a clear design flaw from the factory, and it not only results in loss of functionality, but could result in injury or death to the users of the vehicles. Repair costs are quoted around $750.
