| Description of the problem | The driver seat headrest deployed without warning or cause. The car was parked in my driveway overnight, no car or object hit the car. When i got in the car and put it in reverse i noticed the headrest had been deployed. It was possible it happened over night or as the car was stationary and put in reverse. This is extremely dangerous and is a well known problem online. There is no recall for this and this will apparently cost me $800 or more to repair, or i can drive around with no head rest. |
