Two problems related to front seat head restraint have been reported for the 2013 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving approx. 35 mph - drivers headrest deployed and hit husband in the back of hishead. Sounded like a gunshot. Headrest split. A plastic piece was broken off and it can not be repaired.
I was backing my 2013 Jeep Patriot into a driveway when the driver's seat headrest suddenly and quickly exploded, punching me in the side of the head. I wasn't even touching it at the time. In the 4 or so years I have owned the vehicle, I have rarely even adjusted it. This could have been deadly if I'd been driving on the freeway at the time.
