Consumer Description

FRONT SEAT DESIGN IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND PUSHES IN DRIVERS BACK AT A POINT THAT MAKES THE BACK HURT. I CANNOT DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES DUE TO THE PAIN. THIS ALSO HAPPENS TO MY HUSBAND, WHO IS MUCH TALLER, SO I ASSUME IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY DRIVERS. THERE ARE THREE SECTIONS ON THE SEAT BACK, AND THE MIDDLE SECTION STICKS OUT AT THE POINT YOUR BACK WANTS TO STICK OUT, NOT GET PUSHED IN, MAKING IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT.
