I was trying to roll the 3rd row seats in my van into the storage area, when trying to get the headrest to be in a lower position (in order to stow) the headrest snapped forward quickly and hit my niece in the face. She was inside the vehicle trying to put the 3rd row seats down. Thankfully her nose is not broke, but she hurt it pretty bad. There is no warning that this could happen and I think it is a safety issue.

We had just returned from the grocery store parked the car in the driveway and were proceeding to exit the car. My 17 yr old daughter was sitting in the passenger seat when we heard a loud bang and her head was jolted foward by the headrest, upon examination and a quick Google search we learned that it was a safety feature for when rear-ended which had not happened.
Stow and go seat behind the passenger will not latch properly so therefore I can’t use it and is secured in the stow and go compartment
The active head restraint on the passenger seat deployed all of a sudden. There has been no collision or anything. It just deployed on its own. Not sure what triggered it. I just purchased this vehicle from a car dealership about 2 months ago.

We rented this caravan while on vacation in destin. On our way to return it, this past monday, I was sitting on the driver side second row seat. I wanted to recline my seat a bit ,so I reached my left hand down to pull the lever at the bottom door side of the seat. Instead of that being where a recliing lever would normally be, it was the lever for flipping the entire seat up and snapping down the headrest. It forced me into a forward folded position with great force, then the headrest snapped down on my neck. I was diagnosed with extreme whiplash and torn muscles. Im having migraines due to the injury and pain in my head, neck, shoulders and back. My concern is that if a child would have done the same thing it may have seriously injured them or even killed them. This is a very bad design and needs to be reconfigured.
The car was parked in the driveway. I was sitting on the driver side middle seat, not sitting back, as the seat was reclined too far for me to sit with my back against the back of the seat. When I was trying to bring the seat back forward from the leaned back position, the head rest came down and slammed into my neck it's as if the mechanism thought the seat were going to be stowed into the floor. I have been suffering from a massive headache since this happened. I will be going to my doctor when I return home, to see if there is any serious injury. There was nothing conclusive in the diagnosis. This needs to be addressed, as it could cause severe injury.
Tl* the contact rented a 2019 dodge grand caravan. The contact was seated in the rear of the vehicle behind the driver's seat. While attempting to adjust the seat, the headrest struck the back of the contact's neck. The contact stated that she was experiencing headaches due to the injury. Medical attention was not received. The contact informed avis car rental san francisco international airport (780 n mcdonnell rd, san francisco, ca 94128, (650) 877-6780) of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The cause of the failure was not determined. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 11.
The above vehicle was a rental vehicle being demonstrated to me to show the amount of rear luggage space available. When the rental representative was demonstrating the rear seat stowage system he inadvertently released what appeared to be an unnecessarily strong rear row seat back release spring which kicked the seat back down hard and fast enough to hit me in the head, scrape and bruise my face and head, damage my glasses, knock me to the floor of the van and and cause a concussion, which I was treated for in the hospital emergency room. A significant concern of mine is that the doctor and a nurse in the hospital said that the apparent force with which the seat hit my head would have seriously injured a possibly killed a small child. From my vantage point as a retired engineer with 40+ years of experience, there is no reason to design a seat back that will close with that level of force with no added impetus. This appears to be a serious design flaw of which owners and the manufacturer should be made should be made aware. I do have medical records, photographs of my head and a note from the rental company representative admitting that I was injured. Photographs of my head and medical records can be supplied if needed, but are not presently on my computer. *dt
