Narrative

The passenger front seat headrest deployed on its own when my wife was driving us back from the store, yesterday. I am so fortunate that I was in the passenger seat when it unexpectedly and violently deployed, as my wife would have been injured far worse than I was. My neck is sore but I am already on the mend, etc. I would hope this is a 'stand alone' incident, otherwise I would consider this event to be one of SERIOUS CONCERN for Dodge as injury could potentially be far worse than what I experienced, etc. THERE was NO WARNING; NO ABRUPT DRIVING OR ANYTHING; IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH EXCELLENT DRIVING CONDITIONS, ETC. I would expect Dodge to repair my vehicle, if nothing else.
