Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The headrest position in new vehicles has caused thoracic outlet syndrome in this driver who is 5'4 . My cervical spine is forced out of alignment with my thoracic and lumbar spine. After driving four or five hours which I do for work, I experience neck and shoulder pain. Arm and hand tingling/numbness and pain is so severe that it has interfered with the performance of my job. I can promise you that if I experienced a rear-end collision, I would suffer a closed head injury as my head and not my neck rests directly against the headrest. I'd rather take my chances with whiplash. …”
