About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The front passenger head restraints push the head forward, creating stress on the neck/back and could cause injury. Seating is uncomfortable unless the seat is reclined. Which poses another risk and sight problem.
The contact owns a 2009 Ford Explorer. When the contact entered the vehicle, he noticed that the head rest pushes the driver's head towards the windshield due to its perpendicular design. The contact feels that someone with a short stature would have to drive with his/her head down. If the air bag were to deploy, the driver could become seriously injured. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was designed in that manner and no compensation would be provided. The failure mileage was 60 and current mileage was 800.
