## Narrative
I was driving down a residential road, going about 30 mph. I went over a very small bump. My driver's side seat headrest exploded open and hit me in the back of the head. It scared me so much I swerved my car. Luckily it was a quiet street and I was going slow or I would have had an accident. I have a medical condition called fibromyalgia so this triggered severe headaches and fatigue for about a week. Luckily no serious injuries. I took it to a Jeep dealership and they said it's covered under the extended warranty and will be repaired for free. But what about a recall to avoid this dangerous safety issue in the first place? What about the passenger seat that is also now waiting to pop open and injure someone?
