1 Front Seat Head Restraint problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2016

I'm now driving a 2015 Mazda Cx-5 touring and I find the head restraint in my Mazda is angled too far forward and is very uncomfortable, causing neck strain and pain. I like to sit upright in my car and when seated like this the head restraint forces me to angle my head down so I am looking at the dash, not out the windshield. I find that reclining the seat is the only solution but it puts me in a position that is less responsive and more sleep-inducing. Ironically, the NHTSA madate that took effect in 2008 actually makes my Mazda less safe because it forces me to choose between neck strain or sitting in a less responsive, overly-relaxed position just to fix the poorly-designed head restraint angle. I drove a 1994 Toyota camry for about 10 years and it had a head restraint that was adjustable for both angle and height. In 1994! please change the head restraint rules so the angle is adjustable!.
