What owners report
When driving down the road the car just shuts off and itâs dangerous especially in busy areas it happens 6 times a day.
Passenger headrest deployed open even though there was no collision
The passenger headrest AHR has deployed a couple years ago while parked. I tried working with the dealer for the past year to get it fixed under a recall. The dealer said it was covered for a limited time but no longer is covered. I do not understand why that is. It seems this should be covered under a recall and is a safety issue.
Drivers side headrest deployed while I was driving.
Drivers side head restraint deployed while driving without any viable cause or reason
