Front Seat Head Restraint Problems of Honda Crosstour

Note: this in reference to the Honda Crosstour which is not listed in your drop down . The head restraint is badly proportioned--with any adjustment of the seat or restraint it forces my forward and down--this was not noticeable in the short test drive but only during a longer drive --after a fairly short time I developed a very painful neck and it got worse with time. . I have contacted the dealer but they did not offer any solution to the problem other than to adjust the seat. Tried that until I had exhausted all possible positions with no acceptable relief, they did admit there have been "a few" such complaints. I also called american Honda--the reception was friendly and the person I talked to was concerned but stated she was not aware of any problems as I described. After some research I find this has been an ongoing problem foe some time and includes prior model years and other models. I do believe a rather minor modification could provide the relief needed and still be within the 50mm clearance that is allowed.

Please, please back off on your head rest requirements for safety. Please allow the consumer to choose the position of the head rest. Not only Honda, but Ford, gm, Chrysler, all manufacturers are creating very painful car seats since 2009 due to this awful headrest requirement. Seatbelts are a law, but I choose to wear them. Motorcycle helmets are no longer a law, but I choose to wear them. Now let me choose my headrest position. I think these new designs are going to cause far more injuries and insurance claims from people having their heads cocked forward, in a forced improper posture. I had migraines due to my headrest before I resolved this issue in my car by making modifications. I sit with proper posture and my head is forced forward. The only choice I had was to sit improperly in order to try to avoid the terrible discomfort this new law forces on me. Please change this law.
