Driver seat has collapsed. I first noticed this when I got in to drive after my husband had driven the car and I had to adjust the rear view mirror...something I had never had to do in the past and it keeps getting worse. I can no longer safely see above or around the side mirrors unless I sit on a pillow.

Defroster, heat, A/C, fan speed, recirc, heat/cool seats functions failed (stopped working completly) while driving in a snow storm on January 12, 2016 on highway us 131 to traverse city, mi. Found recall information NHTSA # 11V149000. Brought to dealer. Dealer said not coverred under recal due to VIN #, and owner cost of $400 + to repair. Contacted Buick customer care. Spoke with asia and leslie on 1/15/16, who said GM could not help. I described language of the recall as being identical to the safety hazard described in the NHTSA language: "windshield defrosting and defogging systems" on these vehicles, the software in the electronic climate control module may disable the ability to adjust the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system settings. If this happens, the driver will not be able to control the cooling and ventilation for the vehicle. Consequence: If this condition affects the defrost system when it is required, it may decrease the driver's visibility and could result in a crash."

I recently bought a used 2011 Buick Lacrosse cxl. I like the car a lot but after a few trips I noticed that my neck and head position was constantly being pushed forward making me more and more uncomfortable. I also noticed that the headrest is so large that it is difficult to see behind me especially to the left for oncoming traffic or obstacles. I understand that the manufacturers were required by NHTSA to make the headrests too far forward and too large for "safety" reasons. If so, you have succeeded in making my time behind the wheel both uncomfortable and less safe because my neck is constantly being pushed forward and I can't see behind me very well. I doubt that you will respond or, more unlikely, make changes to improve this problem but I have to do something to express my outrage at what you have done.
