    The 2019 toyota highlander le second row headrests lack locking height adjustments! Yes you have just read this correctly! They are not like the front row locking height increments. They do not lock when they are even pushed all the way down! The only height to lock them at is when the headrest is about 2' from the ceiling! Not all people riding in the second row are 6'4' to use such an extended adjustment…

    The xle front passenger seat sits very high, causing my head to brush up against the ceiling. This is will cause head and possibly neck injuries in the event of a collision. I'm not particularly tall at 5'10', but anyone taller will have a worse problem. There is no way to lower this seat. I don't want to suffer a head injury just because the seat is very high.
