Malibu 4-cyl

This is a general complaint on just about all new cars including mine. Namely the head rest in the front and rear seats block the rear view by at least 50% and contribute to accidents especially when backing up. The head rests are too high and wide. At a recent defensive driving course I attended, the police officer giving the course said 30% of all accidents involve people backing up. I can appreciate that as the rear view is blocked as in some of the side view. I think the head rests should be smaller and that is my complaint.
