Description of the problem	I purchased my challenger in 2011 and quickly became aware that the headrest put my head in a very uncomfortable pushed-forward position. After many attempts at manipulating the seat position i came up with something that made it tolerable, but on any long drive (half an hour or more) i get a stiff neck and headache. I had no history of neck problems prior to this time. Over time i seem to have developed chronic neck stiffness, muscle tension and numbness in my fingers. My neck has now started cracking when i turn my head suddenly. It has never done this before, but it has seriously aggravated the problem. The headaches it causes are severe and can last weeks. I have noticed whenever i take a "vacation" from driving my car for several weeks at a time the problem improves. Just this week, though, my car has been in the shop and i have a rental, a 2013 chevy impala. This car is an absolute nightmare regarding head restraint placement. No matter what seat position i try, it pushes my head forward at a sharp angle. By the time i drive home from work - 20 minutes - i am almost sick from the discomfort and pain. Please, please, please... Reconsider the legislation passed to make these new head restraints "safer" for me. I may never, ever be involved in an accident where i suffer whiplash injuries, but i am certainly feeling "whiplash" pain. I believe it is causing me permanent injury. There must be a compromise to make cars safer without chronic pain issues for their drivers. I have done extensive research on this issue, so i know i am not alone. I would find a new car, but all newer models i like seem to have this design flaw. I have no idea what to do, other than removing or modifying my headrest to try and get some relief. Surely a better rule is preferable to my solution which leaves me completely unprotected.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
