THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CRASH

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY 9/29/19 ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40MPH COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ACTIVE HEADREST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED STRIKING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH ENOUGH FORCE IT FELT LIKE A PUNCH, THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND NEARLY REAR END THE CAR STOPPING IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE DONE SOME QUICK RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTICE THIS IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL NOR AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IN MY CASE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND UNOCCUPIED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT'S ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT POPPED OPEN. IT CANNOT BE RESET DUE TO THE DAMAGED PLASTIC. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTIVATE UNTIL TRIGGERED BY AN ACCIDENT AND IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OVER NIGHT IN OUR GARAGE. IN THE MORNING WE DISCOVERED THE DEPLOYED HEAD REST

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVER'S FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH NO INSULT TO VEHICLE OR REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. I REPORTED TO LOCAL DEALER AND THE HEADREST RESTRAINT CANNOT BE RESET. IT REQUIRES A TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE HEADREST THAT ISN'T COVERED UNDER STANDARD OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE COST OF THE PART TO REPLACE IS $846.30 PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AS THE RESTRAINT DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE.
