Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“New car headrests are angled too far forward. I do not want to slouch, so I would like to sit with my seat upright. This forces my head into a very unnatural position, causing me pain. Even with the seat tilted back, the headrest still forces my head forward, and creates a difficult driving position with my shoulders slumped forward and my head tilted. This causes headaches & distraction. This discomfort is also true of the 2013 ford focus, the 2010 toyota prius, and the 2013 subaru outback that I have recently driven. …”
