Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVROLET 2011 IMPALA LT CAR RECENTLY. I FIND THAT THE HEIGHTS OF THE THREE BACK-SEAT HEAD RESTS ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS FOR A DRIVER OF THIS CAR. EACH HEAD REST IS FIVE INCHES TOO HIGH TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW. I HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE HAND THAT THE 2011 IMPALA WAS WELL KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. RECENTLY, BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED VISIBILITY PAST THE LEFT BACK-SEAT WINDOW HEAD RESTS, IN BACKING MY CAR, I BUMPED A PARKED CAR. MY LEFT REAR FENDER STRUCK THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER OF THAT CAR. THE COST OF THIS FENDER REPAIR WAS $983.00. I FEAR THAT MY DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT CHANGES MADE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE HEAD RESTS IS LEADING TO ANOTHER MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING. TO HAPPEN. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU.
