The issue I am reporting involves the Active Head Restraint system on my vehicle. I have been victim to the inadvertent deployment of this system not once, not twice, but three times now... In February of 2024 the driver and passenger headrests were replaced under the x88 warranty extension. As far as I know, those were the original headrests that had been replaced after they inadvertently deployed (fortunately, while no one was in the seat). Here we are, only 2.5 years later and one of the NEW headrests has failed in the same way! Once again, we were fortunate that no one was in the vehicle when it happened.

The driver side active head restraint deployed with zero warning and without any external forces upon the vehicle. This is now the second front row head restraint to deploy in this manner. The passenger side deployed while our teenage daughter was sitting in the car which was stationary at the time. She suffered a head and neck injury due to this malfunction. Stellantis replaced that one and âPromisedâ to replace the driver side but did not follow thru on that.
The contact owned a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 65 MPH on a curvy highway road, the vehicle started skidding to the right and crashed into a barrier, causing the vehicle to slide to the left and to strike another barrier. The air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained injuries to the neck, back, and right shoulder, requiring medical attention. A police report was filed.

As instructed, the vehicle was returned to the rental business. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000. The VIN was not available.
