Consumer Description

AFTER THE NOVELTY OF MY NEW CARE WORE OFF, I BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OF LIMITED VISIBILITY WHEN LOOKING OUT THE REAR WINDOW. THE MIDDLE HEADREST IN THE BACK SEAT OBSCURES MUCH OF THE WINDOW! I AM EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN BACKING UP BECAUSE OF THIS LIMITED VISIBILITY. I AM CONCERNED WHEN MY KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, YOUNGER DRIVERS DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO THEIR PARENTS. IN ADDITION, MY DAUGHTER ISN'T NEARLY AS TALL AS I AM AND THE BACKSEAT MIDDLE HEADREST IS EVEN MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH SHORTER PEOPLE. THIS ISN'T A DEFECT, PER SE, BUT JUST AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DESIGN FLAW. LOOKING ON YOUR WEBSITE, I AM NOW AWARE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS CONCERN. I AM GLAD GM REDESIGNED THE 2012 MODEL TO TAKE THIS HAZARD AWAY BUT WHAT ABOUT FOR THIS 2011 MODEL YEAR? *TR
