Consumer Description

THE SEATS, PARTICULARLY THE FRONT SEATS, CAUSE EXTREME PAIN IN THE BUTTOCKS AND LEGS. THIS WAS NOT EVIDENT DURING MY TEST DRIVE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE (SAME MODEL). BUT AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN AFTER DRIVING ABOUT TEN MINUTES THAT I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING IT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST ME, BUT I NOW SEE ON LINE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED ADDING LUMBAR SUPPORTS AND VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS OF PILLOWS BUT THEY DO NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS TILTED SO FAR FORWARD THAT ONE'S NECK IS TILTED FORWARD CAUSING ANOTHER SET OF ISSUES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DRIVING IN THE NORMAL POSITION. *TR
