Raise awareness for Seat Back Failure, putting your children's lives at risk.

What the petition asks

During a rear impact crash our front seats fully reclined with force, we have been informed this is standard from 'cheap' cars- ours was a 2014 model. This happens with all makes and models potentially putting passenger's lives at risk. This Is unacceptable and higher standards are needed.
Our mechanic informed us it is expected from cheaper cars as they use low quality seats, more expensive makes use higher quality. We believe there should be a standard of seats used, we are told to put our children in the back of our cars- unbeknownst to us potentially putting their lives at risk should they be in a crash! The front seats fly back at force, along with the person in them and the passengers in the back are flung forward- it's so very very dangerous.
