| Description of the problem | One week ago purchaed a 2009 honda crv with 26k miles. Have had 2 previous crv's (1999 & 2002) we purchased the 2009, after a 15 minute test drive, everything seemd fine. After driving for the past week, noticed horrible lower back pain, legs & feet having "pins & needles" numb feeling & seat uncomfortable regardless of the manual seat adjustment position it is in, lumbar support on lower back of seat puts too much pressure on lower back, no way to adjust it. Never had back problems like this before. Seats are very firm, even adding additional cushion or blanket does not help. Bottom of seat is at an incline, and it puts strain on knees / legs. No adjustment to straighten seat level from incline on the lx. Contacted dealership and honda and they both said nothing can be done. Have seen similar complaints regarding seats for the honda accord & civic & crv at www. Carcomplaints. Com. Seats are causing back / leg issues and should be recalled/redesigned and replaced by honda. Other crv's we owned never had these problems. Headrest equally uncomfortable, puts your head at a very odd position, causing neck pain. Tires seem to be an issue also, we will be needing to replace them soon with only 26k miles, and 3 years old. Honda should stand by their product, but they are unwilling to do anything. Bad tread on the tires, ours are bridgestone. |
