I ASKED MY WIFE (HER VEHICLE) IF SHE WAS IN ANY ACCIDENT AND SHE SAID NO.

I FIXED IT IN TWIN CITY DODGE CHRYSLER IN LAFAYETTE, IN (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014). NO COLLISION AT ALL AND THE HEADREST JUST DETACHED FOR NO REASON. THIS IS THE FIRST DETACHMENT. THE SECOND DETACHMENT IS ON MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST. IT DETACHED DURING PARKING IN 2019 SEPTEMBER. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ. THE STAFF THERE TOLD ME THE ISSUE WAS A DESIGNING PROBLEM OF GRAND CHEROKEE. THEY USED A PLASTIC PART IN HEADREST. IT IS WEAK AND CAN BREAK OFF ANYTIME. THEY SAID IF I FIX MY DRIVER SEAT HEADREST USING THE SAME PLASTICS, IT CAN STILL EASILY BREAK SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PLASTIC THING IS TOO FRAGILE. THE STAFF TOLD ME CHRYSLER MIGHT RECALL IT VERY SOON AND SO I KEEP WAITING. IT'S BEEN NOVEMBER 2020 AND STILL NO RECALL. I WANT CHRYSLER TO FIX THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. I DO NOT WANT TO USE ANOTHER WEAK PLASTIC PART THAT CAN RANDOMLY DETACH ANYTIME. IF THE DETACHMENT OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING 70+ MPH, CERTAINLY IT WILL KILL ME AND SOMEONE ELSE. I AM SCARED OF THE PLASTIC PART AND SO I AM DRIVING WITHOUT IT BEING FIXED, WHICH IS REALLY CAUSING MY NECK PROBLEM BECAUSE IT PUSHES MY HEAD SEVERAL INCHES FORWARD DURING DRIVING.
