What owners wrote

While sitting in my driveway, the active head restraint launched without provocation. Car was not on when the ahs blew, hitting me in the head. It was later discovered that the plastic clip that is supposed to hold the headrest together was broken. I received a mild concussion, and feel grateful that I was not driving when this took place.

Reported at 44,000 miles, August 2019 Injury

This week the active head rest deployed overnight while parked in the drive on my 2014 jeep compass. After inspecting it I noticed that the plastic tabs that hold the headrest in place were broken. There is only 47000 miles meaning it is no longer under warranty and the repair is very costly. I know this is a common and dangerous problem with many jeep vehicles and this really needs to be addressed and why it hasn't already is beyond me.
