Explorer

  • 100 miles
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Explorer. The headrest on the driver and passenger extends outward which forces the passenger and drivers head forward. The contact has experienced discomfort while driving even when he attempted to rest his shoulders against the back of the seat. The vehicle was purchased seven days ago without him test driving it.
