Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2019 hyundai tucson. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger seats were sled which did not provide a safe support. The contact was concerned that in the event of a crash it could result in severe injuries. The dealer tamiami hyundai (6780 airport-pulling rd, naples, fl 34109 (239) 417-1222) was notified but not resolution was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. There was no failure mileage. Incorrect not main reason. I reported that the front seat headrests were positioned at the back of the seats, were fixed (not adjustable) and so left a large space between the headrest and anybodies head. Thus, in a sudden stop or accident, would not prevent severe whiplash since there was no contact with the passengers heads. Space would be approximately 2" depending on head shape. This is really dangerous! The angling is secondary to the head spacing.*jb |
