1 Front Seat Head Restraint problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2016

The head rest pushes my head forward when I sit upright with good posture no matter what the height adjustment I use. The angle of the headrest is not adjustable and is way to far forward for me. I understand this is a new regulation, and I believe the standard is not appropriate for everyone.

2 Front Seat Head Restraint problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2016

Headrest unusable in safe driving position. Forces head to floor or prevents proper back placement on seat, sometimes both. The only way to sit in the seat comfortably is to have the seat leaning too far back where I cannot reach the steering wheel comfortably. Wheels would vibrate at speeds above 55, sometimes as low as 40. Recently fixed by dealership. Brakes were improperly adjusted and scraped against the inside of the brake assembly. Made a loud scratch sound. Took two visits to the dealership to be fixed. All events required individual visits to the repair shop, and I am uncertain of the long-term viability of the vehicle. Any small issue raises extra concerns. Vehicle has only 2k miles after a year of ownership because of either driving discomfort or the vehicle being in the shop to be worked on.
