| Description of the problem | The cushion material in the front seats is disintegrating. Each week there is more and more foam dust under each of the front seats on the door side. The front passenger seat is not used often as i am single---my mother does sit there(she weighs 110 lbs). I am the only driver of the car and at 137 lbs i don't understand how the seat was so poorly constructed that the foam, or whatever the seat is made of, is disintegrating on a weekly basis. I am concerned that this problem is compromising the seat cushion airbag. I am unsure of the exact start date because in the beginning i believed the dust to be just that or possible dirt/sand from shoes getting in and out of the car. After inquiring about the problem at local honda dealership it was suggested that i contact honda directly. I will be contacting them soon in an attempt to ask about this issue; however, i wanted to contact you as i consider this to be a safety concern. Could this potentially lead to the airbags inflating because of a lack of padding? No longer will the airbags be cushioned from any impacts/bumps/weight-- not as much material. Again, i am sure this could lead to a problem of safety if it compromises the cushion airbags. Thank you |
