Description of the problem | The headrests jut forward at an extreme angle and causing chronic and acute neck, head and back pain. The design of these is a result compliance with the nhtsa's headrest standard. The nhtsa went too far and should reconsider the standard. It is causing misery for thousands or even millions of motorists. To alleviate the pain, i was forced to reverse the headrest... Making it far unsafer in the event of an accident. There are thousands of posts about this online. |
