  RE: LOW HEAD RESTS.. THE SEAT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR ANYONE WITH ANY HEIGHT. I AM 6'3". MY HEAD MISSES HEAD REST ENTIRELY. I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO BE AS TALL AS ME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT, MY HEAD WILL HIT THE REAR-WINDOW. THIS WILL OCCUR WHETHER I AM HIT FROM BEHIND... OR IF THE AIR-BAG DEPLOYS AND THROWS ME BACK INTO IT. SEAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS NECK AND HEAD INJURY. VERY SCARY.******** RE: BRAKES... JUST REPORTING WHAT MY MECHANIC FOUND AT 21,000 MILES. THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE WAS FOUND TO BE 100% WORN. IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY.
