2012 Nissan LEAF Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1161899
Internal NHTSA #	10690994
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	LEAF
Model Year	2012
File date	22/02/15
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	New car headrests are angled too far forward. I do not want to slouch, so i would like to sit with my seat upright. This forces my head into a very unnatural position, causing me pain. Even with the seat tilted back, the headrest still forces my head forward, and creates a difficult driving position with my shoulders slumped forward and my head tilted. This causes headaches & distraction. This discomfort is also true of the 2013 ford focus, the 2010 toyota prius, and the 2013 subaru outback that i have recently driven. I understand this is an effort to reduce whiplash injuries, but it is causing flexion/overuse injuries in owner's necks!

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
