One problem related to front seat head restraint has been reported for the 2009 Mercedes Benz C300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving down the highway, at a little over 50 mph, with my children in the car, the driver side headrest neck restraint suddenly deployed. I felt like I was punched in the back of the head and it could have caused an accident. I drove it to a mercedes dealership and was told that it is common and that even driving over railroad tracks causes the headrest neck restraints to deploy. I didn't drive over railroad tracks or even a pothole so it makes no sense to me. When I got home I was able to get a closer look at it to see that most of the inside is plastic. I think Mercedes Benz should be held responsible for the replacement. The incident hurt me and put me and my family in danger. There should be a recall on this.
