2014 buick enclave chromed hood louver horizontal position reflects sunlight into the driver's eyes at certain positions of the sun and driver direction, blinding the driver from below the line of sight. complaints to the dealer deferred to gm. gm's response was that this is a normal function of the vehicle. dealer has subsequently contacted me to resolve issue.

SEATS

the front driver & passenger head rests protrude too far forward even when pushed all the way back. the headrests are not able to be adjusted high enough for a tall person. for tall individuals this causes the lower portion of the headrest to press into a pressure point on the back. this could result in spinal damage in a rear end collision. some owners are choosing to turn the head rests around backwards or remove them entirely. this also forces people to drive with the seat reclined too far back.

SEATS

whatever rules are being promulgated regarding car head restraints are irrational. i am confronted with head, neck and shoulder pain after each drive, regardless of how short. the headrest, all cars with recent headrests, is too far forward and pushes the head into a downward looking position. this unsafe body position will create other types of injuries, either from prolonged poor body mechanics or unsafe body or vehicle modifications. without the ability to adjust the headrest into a comfortable driving position for 99.9% of the time the driver is in the vehicle, the odds of the .01% being effective is minimal. please reissue the rules and provide some type of credit to fix the countless cars burdened by this irrational policy.

the driver's door brushed over my lower leg and cut it due to a very sharp edge on the bottom corner of the door. this has happened three times. both the driver's door and the front passenger door come to an extremely sharp point at the bottom lower edge. i have cut my leg three times total and both doors have done it. i have not hit my leg very hard with the door but the doors are so sharp that they just sliced my skin. i did not require medical attention but this is still a problem. i took my vehicle to the dealer for repair and they stated that it was a design problem and did not really know how to correct it. i have a picture from the first incident if you require it.
