general problems of the 2015 Jeep Patriot

My vehicle's driver side headrest deployed for no reason at all. This happened approximately August 2024. I'm the only person who drives this vehicle. I went into my car and to my surprise I noticed that it had deployed. Since I wasn't driving the vehicle when it deployed , it must have happened when the vehicle was parked in my driveway. November 11, 2024, I brought my vehicle to a repair shop to replace a crankshaft sensor and while the vehicle was there I asked them to reset the headrest. They said that they could not reset it and that the headrest would have to be taken apart in order to fix it and that it would be expensive to fix. So since the headrest was not my priority at the time and I didn't want to spend a lot on it, I told them to not fix it. They also said that Chrysler "might" recall the headrest in December 2024 so to bring it back to them once there is a recall.

Drivers headrest deployed while vehicle was in my driveway overnight. I could have been injured or it could have cause an accident if the headrest deployed while driving. Many other people online have had this issue with their 2015 Jeep patroit. No warnings provided and despite an auto repair place stating they cannot repair it but they believe there was a recall for this. I have not found one but there should be. Because I was told it was expensive to replace I did not have it repaired when it occurred sometime in early 2024. No police informed since it occurred while parked in my driveway overnight.

Vacuuming vehicle front passenger side, depress lever to push seat back and headrest deployed forward exposing the inside of headrest. Looks like a plastic piece is broken. Can not reset/push headrest back into normal position.

My car was parked when the headrest deployed, causing it to forcefully pop out and break.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the front driver seat headrest deployed without warning. The headrest hit the back of the contact's head which caused pain to his head, back and neck. The contact did not seek medical treatment. The dealer was initially contacted and he was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Drivers front seat headrest deployed on its own. No collision involved.

I was driving and the headrest on the passanger seat popped opened.

While vehicle was stationary, driver side headrest deployed. Had I been just a few inches closer to the headrest it would have hit me. I will be contacting a Jeep dealership in regards to this but there is currently no active recalls on the Jeep per the NHTSA website.

My driver side headrest exploded while the car was stationary. It appears the active head restraint system failed. Jeep dealers refuse to tell me if this is covered by warranty. I have not yet had it inspected, but as the car was stationary, not moving and not colliding it is clearly a manufacturer defect. This is an extremely dangerous defect. There are reports of drivers being concussed while driving, and I mostly only drive to take children to and from school.

The ahr deployed on my passenger side seat while driving down the road hitting my teenaged daughter in the back of the head.

While driving, my passenger side seat head rest exploded and is now unable to go back together.

Hit a small pot hole & my passenger seat head rest popped open & came apart. There is no way that I can see to put it back together; it's not easily closed & I dont want to break it.
