CANT BRING DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEATS UP OR DOWN RESULTING IN UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING POSITION IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, PARK, ALL GEARS. DISTANCE SENSORS MALFUNCTION FREQUENTLY WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE.
FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS CAUSE A VERY LARGE OBSTRUCTION IN TRYING TO SEE A VEHICLE YOU ARE PASSING, SO AS TO KNOW WHEN TO GET BACK IN TO THE TRAVEL LANE. ALSO THE HEAD RESTRAINTS POSE A LARGE BLIND SPOT WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC. *TR
WE HAVE A 2010 CADILLAC DTS. I AM 5 FEET 5 INCHES TALL AND THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LEANS SO FAR FORWARD THAT I COULD NOT RIDE COMFORTABLY IN THE CAR. THE HEADREST IS TILTED FORWARD AND I COULD NOT SIT ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE SEAT AS THE HEADREST WOULD BE PUSHING ON MY HEAD. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE SEAT'S POSITION TO NO AVAIL. I HAD TO SIT WITH MY BACK NOT RESTING ON THE SEATBACK. THE DEALER'S ANSWER TO FIXING THE PROBLEM WAS TO TURN THE HEADREST BACKWARDS BUT NOW IT IS NOT SECURED IN ITS HOLDER. THE BACK SEATBELTS WERE SO POORLY DESIGNED THAT ONLY A SKINNY PERSON COULD FASTEN THEM. WE DISCOVEDRED THAT MOST OF OUR FRIENDS FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FASTEN THOSE SEATBELTS. AFTER STRUGGLING TO FASTEN THE SEATBELTS SOME FRIENDS JUST DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SEATBELTS UNFASTENED. THE DEALER'S ANSWER...
HEADRESTS TOO LARGE AND BLOCK VISIBILITY FOR DRIVER LOOKING TO HIS RIGHT. *TR
