While driving (with no collision or impact of any kind) the passenger side active head restraint deployed. Luckily no one was in the passenger seat, the impact could have caused injury. There were no warning lights or problems of any kind prior to or after the deployment. Upon inspection I was told there are some plastic pieces that hold the restraint in place that have broken.

While driving at a constant speed without being rear ended passenger side headrest deployed slamming into the back of the passenger head. Passenger’s head was knocked forward with violent force. There have been reports of others having the same thing happen with the headrest in the jeep compass. Police were not notified. Dealership will be contacted this week about the headrest malfunction.

Both headrests have deployed in this vehicle since owning it and not involved in any accident whatsoever it blew out as I was driving and could have caused an accident it was loud and unexpected.

I have had my vehicle for 5 years and the issue is getting worse as the years go by. When my “Low Oil/Change Engine Oil” light comes on, my vehicle stalls out and the lightening bolt indicator light flashes while driving.The indicator light comes on as I push the gas pedal. When I release the pedal, it goes out. Each time I attempt to accelerate/press the gas pedal, the vehicle stalls as if it’s not getting the gas it needs to accelerate. I had my fuel line and fuel pump checked and it is perfectly fine, I had a tuneup as well. I have this issue every single time that my “Low Oil/Change Engine Oil” indicator light comes on and I am constantly putting oil in my engine. I am paying out money to have my vehicle checked, constantly. I was informed of the issue and there are Class Action Suits being dismissed for the same mechanical issue that I have been having for 4 and a half years.
