| Description of the problem | I bought a new nissan frontier in november 2004, i was rear ended on 1-19-2005. I have had 32 needles stuck in me since that time including and idet for an internally disrupted disc. I feel that this all could have been prevented if the lumbar support was either not in the vehicle, or that it was not faulty. I have been told that they should deflate on impact (in general), however mine is hard as a rock. *nm |
