I understand that NHTSA has mandated forward-leaning head restraints on all late-model vehicles. The head restraint in my 2014 Sonic is terrible; it shoves my head forward, forcing me to either stare at the instrument cluster or raise my eyes in a kubrick stare to see the road. It wasn't immediately apparent during the test drive, but after 200+ miles of driving in less than a week, my neck is stiff and shoulders feel like rocks. All this pain against the statistically unlikely occurrence of being rear-ended (twice in 30 years of driving)? fail. Absolute, 100%, total fail. My 2012 cruze had straight head restraints that didn't cause me pain and were still available when I needed to brace (seeing someone racing up behind me, for instance). Please, for the love of g-d, reconsider this idiotic and overbearing regulation.
I have a concern that needs to be address. My passenger seat light comes on and goes off on its own. I had my car looked sometime ago at a dealership along with problems with the window on the front passenger side. Now the back passenger right side window just went out without a warning. I am now stuck with a window. That I cannot roll up or even manually. I am starting to believe my car I purchased brand new with 9 miles on it. Have electrical issue, that have not been address. This car is not old enough to have this types of problems. I am just baffled of however everything is out of pocket. Last year I spent over $200 getting my car fixed something about fuel line or something was clogged. I am like how is that possible when I take my car in for oil changes on the regular. This is not a 7 year old or plus car. I shouldn't be having these problems already in my 1st year - 4th year. I had to change batteries twices as well. Can you please assist. Multiple car problems for a 2014 I brought new are causing me a hardship.
