Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Please, please back off on your head rest requirements for safety. Please allow the consumer to choose the position of the head rest. Not only honda, but ford, GM, chrysler, all manufacturers are creating very painful car seats since 2009 due to this awful headrest requirement. Seatbelts are a law, but I choose to wear them. Motorcycle helmets are no longer a law, but I choose to wear them. Now let me choose my headrest position. I think these new designs are going to cause far more injuries and insurance claims from people having their heads cocked forward, in a forced improper posture. …”
