Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2010 Ford Focus cannot be driven with the headrest in place. It pushes my head too far forward to an unnatural and painful posture. I know it's a safety item, but I had to remove it so it compromises rather than enhances safety. I would replace it with an aftermarket headrest with better design if I could find one.”
