Description of the problem	We purchased this used car in the fall of 2014. Thanks to the department of transportation national highway traffic safety administration 49 cfr part 571 [docket no. Nhtsa-2004-19807] rin 2127-ah09, head restraints, final rule, the headrests on this vehicle protrude so far forward that the driver has to bend his head and neck forward as well as pull the upper back forward off the back of the seat. This has resulted in straining of the neck and spine while driving, leading to neck injury with nerve pain in the arms, neck and upper back after spending time driving! The headrest is only adjustable up and down, not fore and aft. Please rethink the regulation. Safety protection from whiplash is admirable, but not at the expense of horribly uncomfortable daily driving resulting in head, neck, shoulder and upper spine strain. Humans are not crash test dummies. We can contour our spine to a seat and in our older vehicles we can actually place our entire back flat against the seat with the headrest naturally right behind and in line with the head and neck.
