Consumer Description

THE THREE REAR SEAT HEADREST ARE WAY TOO LARGE AND HIGH AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. EACH ONE OF THE THREE HEADREST BLOCK PART OF THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT DRIVERS OF THIS CAR ARE BEING FORCED TO DEAL WITH. THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING INTERFERING WITH THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE REAR SEAT HEADREST ARE OBVIOUSLY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE BACKS INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OR CHANGES LANES CAUSING A CRASH ON A HIGHWAY DESTROYING PROPERTY, INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE. THEN THERE WILL BE A HUGE CIVIL SUIT AND YOU CAN BET THE DRIVER OF THE CAR WILL PREVAIL ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS SAFETY HAZARD HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM, NHTSA, THE BBB AND OTHERS AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO MANDATE A RECALL TO HAVE THESE HEADREST REMOVED.
