Owner complaint summary

Headrest Explosion in my driveway parked. Its confirmed by my dealer and its in their possession while I have a rental. No accident had occurred and dealer inspected and no accident had been detected. No indication that this would have happened previously. Im in fear of my safety and have 2 special needs children that rides in my vehicle regularly. The dealership is wanting for me the client to pay $1500 and refuse to comply with "good faith". My agent stated they would try to do on "goodfaith" but days later stated I have to pay regardless of the company malfunction. This could've happened while driving with me or my children. Im just glad that it happened while parked. It was stated to me if this doesnt get done or rather replaced this can be a safety issue. Please if you may share my formal complaint with Dodge or whomever. I have filed a formal complaint as well with Dodge and it has been escalated to case management with a case #.
