The driver side automatic headrest randomly deployed while we were driving down the highway. Thankfully the driver was leaning forward and did not receive the full force of the blow. It appears the plastic brackets inside are shattered. I called our dealer, their response was basically tough luck. I am trying to find a non-AHD replacement headrest as our teenage son drives this van and unexpected deployment can lead to concussion, cause accidents, etc. If Dodge is aware of the issue, why has no recall been issued?

The front head rests contain a safety device that extends the head rest to support the head during a crash. We were unaware of this feature until the passenger head rest burst over a year ago. That was reported in a seperate incident report. We are still waiting for Dodge to repair the passenger head rest. Within the past couple weeks, the driver head rest burst open, while we were not in the vehicle. We did not notice the head rest was burst until my wife saw it from the side when I was driving it. She normally drives the vehicle.

I just made this same report but with my son's dodge 06 VIN number. Ignore that report!! For my dodge 2015 dodge grand caravan here is my report: passenger side air bag exploded. Luckily no injury. Vehicle was not moving. I didn't even know it could do that! I'd like this fixed. Also, two leaks in engine. Oil leak/transmission leak. Is this normal? Leaks are ongoing. Another thing: noticing headlights getting slightly dimmer, then brighter, at night as if some sort of electrical problem? This happens during driving and not driving.
