Honda has the same problem. Auto mfgs went for brownie points on safety with the US gov't instead of considering the resulting health problems of their customers, and there are many who have the physiotherapist bills as a result. I saw a number YouTube videos on this very issue. I doubt that increasing the angle of the head rest forward is going to make much difference to safety at all, even if someone is claiming it does. What about the safety of your neck from having it continually pushed forward while driving? Oh, but the crash dummies didn't complain. Sure. For Honda, at least in newer models, the other issue is hard seats. I tried sitting in what appeared to be a cushy leather driver's seat of a 2010 Accord just to see if it applied to those, too. It does! It was almost like sitting on a wood plank. So, yes, this is definitely a case of poor engineering.
