| Description of the problem | Bought a honda because of the safety and mpg rating, unfortunately, after 20-30 minutes of driving same, the blood circulation to my legs was totally cut off, making my ability to drive safely questionable, not to mention extremely miserable. Bought several cushions which have helped on short distances, leaving me to conclude that there must be some sort of protrusion or defect embedded in the driver's seat causing part of my anatomy to go numb. After reviewing other complaints on this site, a question has been raised that it could possibly be the vibration of the vehicle that is causing this problem, rather than a defect in the construction of the driver's seat. Honda corporation has opened a case on the problem and is scheduled to inspect same. Thought i would post this after hearing a report on cbs news today that car-makers are fully aware of the faulty construction of driver's seats in vehicles these days which are breaking easily upon impact causing fatalities, and honda was mentioned as being one of them in spite of its 5-star safety ratings. I can't tell you how disappointed i am of my selection of what i thought, and what the experts reported, was a high-quality and well-made vehicle by honda. I can't understand why they would make a vehicle that will last for years mechanically, and not address the vibration issues and inferiority of the interior seating; which will only jeopardize its high-standard reputation in the automobile industry. Hopefully, after honda addresses both of these issues, i will re-gain my confidence in the safety and quality of their vehicles again. |
