Two problems related to front seat head restraint have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was pulling out of the parking lot at work when my headrest just exploded and hit me in the back of the head. I hadn't hit anything or stop suddenly I was just pulling out of a parking lot. I heard a pop and then got hit in the back of the head from the headrests.
On September 24, 2019 while driving down a residential street approximately 15 mph, the passenger side headrest deployed without provocation. Fortunately, no passenger was sitting in the passenger seat at the time of deployment. It made a really loud noise when it deployed startling driver, causing driver to swerve and almost caused an accident. It appears a piece of plastic broke off inside the headrest causing the headrest to deploy.
