Description of the problem | I would really like to purchase a new subaru outback, but the forward jutting headrests ("head-restraining system") is way too uncomfortable. We are learning all newer vehicles seem to have these remarkably uncomfortable and posture damaging forward tilts due to your recommendations/requirements. Please re-think your current recommendations and design recommended headrests which are safe and do not sacrifice posture and comfort. Your current recommendations are certainly leading to worsening arthitic symptoms and pain for people such as me and may be contributing to the opioid epidemic. |
