| Description of the problem | Active headrest was deployed/activated while idle at a red light, the headrest hit the back of my head and made me release the brake while stopped at a red light, there was also a very loud noise (kind of like a gun shot noise). This was very scary as i had no idea what had happened or what had hit my head, i had to pull to the side of the road and examine my car to make sure it was safe to drive it. All this while i was in pain resulting from the headrest hitting the back of my head. |
