Drivers active headrest deployed while driving hitting driver in the head while vehicle was in motion
Passenger side head rest popped open while my wife was driving my grandson home from school. He (grandson) was leaning slightly forward getting something out of his backpack so it didn't hit his head. after they got home I looked at it (headrest) and noticed broken plastic (see pictures). We bought the SUV in 2016 at a local Dodge car lot and we are the 2nd owner.we haven't had any problems with it since we owned it. There was no accident at the time it popped. We are in our early 70s and concerned that the driver side might do the same and possibly hit our head.My wife said it made a loud noise and sprung out hard.
The headrest on the passenger seat just popped open while we were driving. The rear view camera often doesn't respond immediately when we put the car in reverse or just stays black for awhile. Navigation is slow sometimes. It seems to be the the system keeps on resetting because my radio stations are erased when I turn on the car. The reprogram and it continues to do that. When we are driving there is a sound coming from the dashboard. Like a rattleling sound. We still haven't figured out what it is. There are times when we are driving and it seems like a gear is shifted when we did not step on the gas.
I was dropping my kids off at school this morning and we had been in the car only 2 mins and just before i get to the school i hear a loud noise and i get whacked in the back of the head with the driver headrest.

Passenger headrest deployed.
The active head restraint deployed without a crash or rear impact. The plastic part that holds a metal pin has broken.
Passenger headrest active restraint system activated while the vehicle was parked. In the driveway. Upon inspection it looks as tho a plastic retainer that holds a metal rod broke. Deploying the headrest. There was no impact to the vehicle nor any other active restraint systems activated. While searching for a replacement part. I've found multiple reports of the same problem on forums. With Dodge saying that with the vehicle warranty being expired. That it's a customer issue.
2015 Doge Durango, front passenger seat headrest malfunction "Active Head Restraint" and deployed while not in an accident. Headrest is available for inspection if requested. This occurred while the vehicle was being operated and caused a violent distraction. This could cause an accident as a result which would affect all in the vehicle. Additionally a direct impact/blow to the head from this defective headrest could lead to a head injury and/or cause an accident to occur. This has been reproduced in the same way by numerous consumers and third parties. Currently the defective headrest in question has not been inspected but communication with the manufacturer in progress. In regards to warning signs prior to the malfunction. There were no visible and/or audible signs this was about to occur. The headrest has received normal use which is very minimum. Research about this issue has shown this issue is documented and is present in multiple versions of the 2015 Dodge Durango but is not limited to just that year. Please investigate this issue as this is literally an accident waiting to happen.
I was coming back from lunch with my wife and kids when all of the sudden the passenger headset deployed without warning on my 2015 Dodge Durango pushing my wife's head forward. The vehicle has no waring or emergency lights on in the dash board. We are terrified for this to occur while on our daily commute's to work or school drop offs and pick ups, we don't want to have an accident or create one in any manner. Not sure how to proceed due to the fact that there is not recall on this and I really don't have the money to pay the dealership for the this. Since I don't have extended warranty the problem is not covered and the dealership wants to charge me 1,000 to 1,200 to fix and change out part.
