| Description of the problem | The seats and seating position in the hr-v are very dangerous. The seat is so uncomfortable and due to this, i am sitting so close to the awkwardly placed steering wheel that in the event of an accident, the airbag would probably not protect me. The cvt in the hr-v is so unrefined that when i lift off the gas pedal a little, not all the way, at speeds under 40mph, the car engine brakes so severely that i have to use my left foot to put on my brake lights immediately. I was warned by a fellow commuter that i'm at risk for being rear ended. I've driven for 45+ years and never had a vehicle so burdensome and difficult to control. Total loss of money on my part. Honda seems like they don't care about the buyer. They make sure to only allow 5 minute test drives. I didn't notice these problems until about 10 days after purchasing the vehicle. |
