Passenger side active head rest deployed while the car was parked without a rear end collision. No SRS light or anything. Unable to reset the headrest and no active recalls for the car even though there is an active lawsuit out of Florida about the same issue. See https://www.classaction.org/news/class-action-hundreds-of-thousands-of-dodge-jeep-chrysler-vehicles-equipped-with-defective-active-head-restraints#embedded-document We will be contacting the dealer in the morning to see if we can get the headrest replaced free of charge but unless there is a investigation and force recall by you i am afraid the dealer will not provide us with a fix without charging us an arm and a leg. I am afraid to drive the car now under the suspicion that the driver side headrest may blow at any point leaving me with either a crash or injury to my head.

The battery light illuminated on the instrument panel. Shortly afterwards, the traction control, ABS, and air bag lights illuminated and the rpms fluctuated while driving my kids to summer camp out of town. When I arrived to my destination the car would not restart due to the battery being dead.I got a jump start and was able to make it to a local store to replace the battery at a cost of $163 and make it home. The next day I still have the same issues.many others have had the same problem and it would appear this is a common problem. I will be making an appointment to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. I am sure it is the alternator and I will need to replace as others have done. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle is not even paid for yet and the failure mileage was just over 52,000. I really hope this issue will be investigated soon.
