2010 Dodge Journey Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Faulty active head restraints in both front driver and passenger seats, causing both units to deploy while driving, causing my driver to temporarily lose control of the vehicle.

I was sitting, idling in my car when my active headrest restrain system in my passenger seat suddenly went off. I am lucky no one was in my passenger seat and that I wasn't driving at that time. I looked more into it and it looks like the plastic encasing the metal bar which holds the headrest together snapped. Googling online I saw that this is a common issue with dodge, jeep, and Chrysler cars. I am now worried my driver side active headrest restraint system could go off while I am driving and cause an accident, as the passenger one definitely flew forward fast when it snapped.

I just purchased a 2010 dodge journey. It has not been in an accident. This morning when getting in my car, I noticed the active headrest restraint has been deployed. I was not in an accident. The car with sitting in my driveway overnight.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED FOR UNKNOWN REASON. NOT IN ACCIDENT.VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

BOTH AIR BAGS ON MY HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT IN A ACCIDENTS

I WALKED OUTSIDE TO MY JOURNEY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED WITH NO OCCUPANCY AT THE TIME. THE LITTLE BLACK CLIPS ARE BROKEN AND I CANNOT PULL IT BACK DOWN TO DISENGAGE.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON WITHOUT A CRASH AND WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HORN GOES OF WITHOUT NOTICE

WITHOUT WARNING, THE HORN STARTS BLARING, WHETHER WE ARE IN THE CAR OR NOT. THIS HAPPENS DAILY! HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT THAT CONTROLS THE HORN! THE ALARM WOULD START BLARING AT NIGHT AND WILL NOT GO OFF, WEARING THE BATTERY DOWN IF WE DO NOT HEAR IT IN THE GARAGE, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! NOT HAVING A HORN IS DANGEROUS, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG IS AFFECTED! DODGE WANTS $105 TO CHECK THE PROBLEMS, AND APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR, PER THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. NO HELP FROM MANUFACTURER!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND DOESN'T GO AWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON
