| Description of the problem | We just purchased this auto and are very upset with the new head restraints. I have been to a doctor and chiropractor already for back and neck pain due to the forward angle of the restraint. My wife has seen a chiropractor once also for the same reason. Can we purchase replacement head restraints somewhere. These new restraints had to be removed from our car now causing more damage if we are involved in an accident. Please help. |
