1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/13/2023

The headrest on the driver's side popped open when I was driving. I had backed out of my driveway and had changed to drive and as I did the headrest popped open. It hit me in the back of my head. Luckily I was driving slow and I could pull over to find out what happen and discovered that the headrest popped open. In trying to find out what was going on with the headrest I discovered a small piece of plastic that came out of the headrest. I am unable to reset the headrest due to this broken piece of plastic. I am glad that I wasn't driving at a faster speed as the bump from the headrest may have caused me to put on the breaks or change lanes as a result of the hit on my head.
