This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving on the highway when my seat moved back suddenly. I am short and my right foot could not reach the pedal. I suddenly veered to the right on the grass to reduce the speed of the card and managed to stop the card. I still can move the seat forward. It's locked.
This is nothing to serious I however have noticed it and I fixed it myself after a few minutes of tinkering. On the passenger side seat the front bolts that hold the seat in placed became loose. It was only loose enough to create an extremely annoying rattling and clanking noise. I just had to pop off the plastic covers and hand tighten the bolts. Problem solved.
The headrest of my 2009 Honda Fit gives me an extreme neck & backachet. My 2000 civic allowed better seating posture. This is not a seat back position or driver height problem. A side view of new car seats shows almost all headrests break into the vertical line of the seat back. Proper ergonomic seating according to osha can be found here: www.osha.gov/sltc/etools/computerworkstations/positions.html however headrests on new cars force the spine from a normal S-shape to a contorted C-shape with the head pushed forward. I understand this is due to new regulations from your office. Please bring your regulations into compliance with correct human anatomy. Thank you.
