MY JEEP WAS REAR ENDED AT 50 MPH WHILE AT A STANDSTILL. I WAS READY TO TURN LEFT IN IN THE LEFT LANE. VEHICLE CAME UP BEHIND ME IN THE WRONG LANE AND DID NOT SLOW AND HIT ME FULL SPEED. . AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HEADRESTS CAME APART AND SPLIT INTO TWO PIECES THROWING MY HEAD AND BODY FORWARD. I WAS THE DRIVER. BACK END OF CARWAS HIT SO HARD IT WAS PUSHED UNDER THE CAR.

ON 3/31/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. UNEXPECTEDLY MY HEAD WAS THROWN FORWARD. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. I DISCOVERED THE DRIVERS HEADREST SEPARATED FROM THE HEADREST BACKING BY AT LEAST 3". (SEE PICTURES) I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT/REAR ACCIDENT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND CAN VERIFY IT WAS NOT IN A FRONT OR REAR ACCIDENT. THEY EXPLAINED THE HEADREST IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT TO PREVENT WHIPLASH. THEY ATTEMPTED TO RESET IT WITH NO SUCCESS AND INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL JEEP (800-992-1997). AFTER THEIR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE HEADREST RATTLES WHILE DRIVING - QUITE DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. JEEP HAS FAILED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE HEADREST AND HAS FAILED TO RETURN MY CALLS FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. THEIR COMMUNICATION DIRECTED ME TO ATTEMPT TO RE-SET THE HEADREST ON MY OWN - WHICH I HAD THE SAME RESULTS AS THE DEALERSHIP, UNSUCCESSFUL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE UNNECESSARY DEPLOYMENT OF A HEADREST WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION CORRECTED AS I AM NOW DRIVING WITH A DEPLOYED HEADREST FORCING MY HEAD FORWARD AND RATTLING.

I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE CAR REFUSED TO START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED. THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAULT, AND COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT ANY POINT. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE NOVEMBER 10TH. THE VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS, THEN SOMETHING ENGAGES AND IT JUMPS FORWARD. SOMETIMES IT COMES TO A STOP BEFORE IT RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. THE JEEP HAS BEEN AT ATLANTIC JEEP FOR ALMOST FOUR WEEKS AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN FORTHCOMING IN EXPLAINING WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT THEMSELVES AND I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS CAR IN THE FUTURE IF THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCUR. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIG RISK OF HAVING A CRASH WITH THE ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, STREETS, SLOW OR FAST DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE AN AFFECT. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE, AND IS VERY SCARY FOR ME AS A DRIVER.
