DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNT IS BROKEN. WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING THE SEAT (MANUAL LEVER), ONLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT MOVES. WHEN RAISED, LEFT SIDE OF SEAT IS HIGHER THAN RIGHT SIDE. ALSO SEAT DOES NOT FEEL ENTIRELY STABLE. (DATE IS APPROXIMATE, AS NO MVA OR OTHER INCIDENT CAUSED THIS.)
THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD RESTRAINTS FORCES THE HEAD AND NECK INTO AN ABNORMAL, UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THIS HAS CAUSED PAIN AND INJURY TO MY NECK AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN THIS POSITION. I WANT HONDA TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT HEAD RESTRAINTS WITH AN ALTERNATE DESIGN WHICH WILL ALLEVIATE THE BODILY STRESS CAUSED BY THIS AWKWARD POSITION. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2007. HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.
I BEGAN TO HAVE BACK AND NECK PAIN AFTER BUYING A HONDA CIVIC 2007. I FINALLY REALIZED THIS PAIN IS DUE TO THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HEADREST WHICH PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND DOWN WHENEVER I AM SEATED IN THE CAR. I HAVE DEVELOPED SERIOUS NECK PROBLEMS REQUIRING TREATMENT, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND POSSIBLE SURGERY IN THE FUTURE. THIS HEADREST DESIGN CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR PASSENGERS TOO. THESE HEADRESTS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION. HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ONLINE AND IN OTHER WAYS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADRESTS ON HONDA AND OTHER MAKES OF CARS MANUFACTURED TO US "SAFETY" REGULATIONS. THESE HEADRESTS HAVE CAUSED ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONCERNS AS DRIVERS MUST TRY TO ADAPT SEAT AND/OR HEADREST POSITIONS IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE SOME RELIEF FROM THE PAIN CAUSED BY ABNORMAL BODY POSTURE. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO DEVELOP AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE CREATED WITH THIS DESIGN REGULATION OR TO ALLOW THE CAR MAKERS TO DO SO.
WEIGHT SENSOR 83-22 NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER I HAD THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE RESOLVED, IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING HONDA, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON!! UPON MY IMMEDIATE RETURN, I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE IT IS INTERNAL IN THE SEAT, AND SHOULD BE COVERED JUST LIKE AIRBAG/SEATBELTS. I CAN NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THAT SEAT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AND NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT....APPROXIMATELY $600
THE SRS LIGHT SENSOR ON 2007 CIVIC LX STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING.
A NEW TEAM TEX AMERICA CAR SEAT WAS GIVEN TO A FAMILY THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS THE FAMILY TRIED TO PUT THE SEAT IN WITH THE LOWER ANCHORS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PART OF THE LOWER ANCHOR THAT SECURES IT TO THE SEAT SEEMED TO BE MELTED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT APPEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURER USED A HEATING PROCESS TO CONNECT THE LOWER ANCHOR AND ANY SMALL AMOUNT OF PULLING ON THIS PIECE CAUSES THE HEATED AREA TO SEPARATE FROM THE CONNECTION ON THE SEAT ITSELF. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=CIVIC). *TR
