1 Front Seat Head Restraint problem of the 2002 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 12/18/2016

The headrest on the front seats are too short. I am 6'6" tall. At tallest extension, the head rest presses against the top of my spine, below my head. I fear a broken neck and head injuries in a head on collision. I presented this question to Toyota engineers several years ago and they were indifferent.

2 Front Seat Head Restraint problem of the 2008 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 11/30/2012

While completely stopped in interstate traffic, I was rear ended by another vehicle. The driver was traveling approximately 55-60 mph before he slammed on his brakes. Upon the collision, the driver's seat I was sitting in slid backwards on the adjustable seat track towards the rear of the vehicle and my seat fully reclined. After the collision, my seat was fully reclined and I was laying down in my seat. While I received no further injuries because of this incident, had a passenger been sitting behind me (particularly a child in a child restraint), they would have been more severely injured by my seat sliding backwards and reclining.
