| I recently purchased a toyotal highlander which has a headrest problem - it is so large that it pushes the head of the person in the seat forward to the point it is very very uncomfortable - in my case very painful. neither the dealer nor toyota will help me with the problem. i am not the only one who is having a problem with the headrest - neighbors are and i have seen people driving highlanders without headrests, which are a safety issue. in my case it is definitely a safety problem - i was rear ended twice in a vehicle without a headrest and am suffering cervical spine problems as a result. we need help with this problem. | |||

| From the toyota invoice: customer states the back of the center console facing the rear seats gets very, very hot...almost burning fingers. and this statement is correct. the folks at clearwater, toyota say there is nothing mechanically incorrect with my automobile, but i am telling them, clearly there is something incorrect with my vehicle. thus my reason for this complaint.*ak | |||
