Consumer Description

THE TALL REAR SEAT HEADRESTS SEVERELY OBSCURE VISION TO THE REAR WHEN BACKING UP. THE MIDDLE REAR SEAT HEADREST IS THE WORST OFFENDER, AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY REAR VISION TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT TELL IF THERE IS A VEHICLE OR OTHER OBJECT BEHIND ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR BACKING UP. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY GM AS I HAVE NOTICED THE 2012 IMPALA DOES NOT HAVE THIS CENTER REAR HEADREST! THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THESE OLDER MODEL IMPALAS SO THESE REAR SEAT HEADRESTS CAN BE REMOVED. I ALREADY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO GM (REFERENCE #[XXX]) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
