description: I AM COMPLAINING OF THE HORRIBLE HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT PUSH MY HEAD AND NECK FORWARD. I HAVE VERY GOOD POSTURE AND AM ONLY COMFORTABLE SEATING UP STRAIGHT. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED TO REPLACE MY BELOVED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE OWNED TWO CHEROKEES BUT DID NOT BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE OF , THE REDUCED WINDOWS, POOR VISIBILITY AND HORRIBLE FORWARD TILTING HEAD RESTRAINTS, THE CHEROKEE IS LIKE BEING IN A COFFIN SO I HAD TO LOOK AT ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. OVER ALL THE PILOT IS A GOOD OPTION WITH MUCH BIGGER WINDOWS AND VISIBILITY BUT THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE ALSO TERRIBLE. I CAN NOT REST MY BACK ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT IN A FAIRLY UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT MY HEAD PUSHED FORWARD BY THE HEAD RESTRAINT. I TRIED BUT ENDED UP WITH A HEAD ACHE EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR. WHAT IS THE CAR INDUSTRY THINKING? DO PEOPLE SIT IN THESE CARS/SUV'S? I KNOW MANY THAT SAY JUST RECLINE YOUR SEAT. WHAT THE HELL HELP IS THAT? I DON'T LIKE TO BE RECLINED OR AM I COMFORTABLE RECLINED PLUS DOES THAT NOT DEFEAT THE POINT OF A HEAD RESTRAINT? A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO SIT IN THEIR CAR AND HAVE THEIR SEAT SUPPORT THEIR BODY WHILE ALSO ALIGNING THE HEAD RESTRAINT TO SUPPORT THEIR HEAD FROM INJURY ON IMPACT. THE CAR MANUFACTURERS NEED TO GET THEIR HEADS IN THE GAME AND MAKE THE CARS SAFE BUT COMFORTABLE WITHOUT HAVING TO RECLINE YOUR SEAT AS IF YOU ARE IN A LAZYBOY CHAIR. THIS IS INFURIATING. *TR
