The rear headrests in the impala are terrible. It is a safety concern/issue. They obstruct, obscure, or impair the driver's clear view. This is an accident waiting to happen. There should be a recall on this. This is a major flaw. Another thing is the side mirrors, why are they soooo tiny? Side mirror are supposed to provide maximum visibilty. The driver of any motor vehicle should have a clear view of the roadway & objects surrounding the vehicle from any angle!!!!
