Internal NHTSA #	10968008

Model Year	2016
File date	16/11/16
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The main part of my complaint is that the head rests lean forward so much that my head is bent downward when i am driving the car; therefore, i feel i cannot look straight ahead. I am short, but have no physical deformities that keep me from driving other vehicles safely. I sit on a cushion regardless of what type vehicle i drive. I feel the way the head rest bends my head forward is a safety hazard to me. Also, the seat backs seem to have a curve and will not allow a person to sit up straight in the seat. This has been, of course, an ongoing problem since the purchase of the vehicle. My husband and i have made this complaint known to our local kia dealerships, as well as the kia manufacturer.
