Consumer Description

THE HEADREST ON MY JUST PURCHASED 2010 FORD EXPLORER TILT SO FAR FORWARD THAT IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE THE HEADRESTS WITH ADJUSTABLE ONES. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE WHY HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE? *TT
