| Description of the problem | In owner's manual it states to adjust the steering wheel so that the wheel points toward the chest and not toward the face due to protection from the airbag, however consumer is 5 feet 6 inches tall and would have to be 3-4 inches taller in order to have the steering wheel point toward his chest, a rep from american honda suggested to have the dealer to modify the seat, but this would void the warranty. *slc |
