“Re: low head rests.. The seat was not designed for anyone with any height. I am 6'3 . My head misses head rest entirely. I don't think you have to be as tall as me for this to happen. If I am in an accident, my head will hit the rear-window. This will occur whether I am hit from behind... Or if the air-bag deploys and throws me back into it. Seat could cause serious neck and head injury. Very scary.******** re: brakes... Just reporting what my mechanic found at 21,000 miles. The front right brake was found to be 100% worn. It was fixed under warranty.”
