| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 jeep compass. The rear headrests are not removable and if i install my child forward facing car seat it leaves a gap in between the headrest and seat. This compromises children's safety. I called the dealership i bought it at and they refused to help or even acknowledge that there is a problem. I understand most jeeps have this problem as well. |
