The air bag for passenger tubes going off and on. I don't know why sometimes it will stay off and then other times it will ding all day long while I'm driving? I don't know if it's safe. Enough for anyone to write in it or not
My headrest, on the passenger side of my minivan, decided that it wanted to act as though the airbags had been deployed and the plastic snapped that holds the metal rod and now my headrest is deployed as though I was in an accident even though I wasn't.
The front passenger active head restraint deployed without being involved in an accident and without warning. Upon inspection, we found that the plastic used to hold the metal rod under tension (until released by the crash sensor) broke. No one was hurt but could have been as this happened just as we were getting into the vehicle.
Was on vacation and when I returned from a 9 day trip my car, which had not been drove at all, the drivers side head rest had popped out. This is part of the air bag system. That happened July 2023. September 13, 2023 at 6:01 pm I was driving down the road and my passenger head rest popped out hitting my daughter in the back of the head. The noise it made scared me to death. I am no longer covered under any type of warranty and now expected to pay for something that is a manufactured defect.

This is a definite safety issue that should be fixed immediately.
