PUTTING DOWN THE SECOND ROW SEAT TO CLIMB INTO THE THIRD ROW SEAT THE HEADREST FOLDS DOWNS AUTOMATICLY. MY 10 1/2 YEAR OLD SON HAD HIS FINGER PRESSED DOWN INTO THE HEADREST CLOSURE AS HE WAS PUTTING DOWN THE SEAT. HE SEVERED THE NERVE AND TENDON IN THE UPPER HALF OF HIS MIDDLE FINGER THAT REQUIRED SURGERY AND 3 MONTHS RECOVERY, WITH THERAPY. I WAS WONDERING IF OTHER HEAD REST ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I HAVE A CLAIN ON FILE WITH GENERAL MOTORS ASKING THEM TO LOOK INTO OTHER REPORTS INVOLVING THE HEADREST.*AK
