Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING AND BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, I NOTICED A PRESSURE POINT IN MY MID-BACK. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WOULD TAKE AS LITTLE TIME AS MY 7 MINUTE COMMUTE TO CAUSE MY BACK TO GO NUMB. THIS NUMBNESS WOULD PERSIST FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SEAT AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER AND BACK SEATS. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ADJUST THE SEAT, BUT NO AMOUNT OF SEAT ADJUSTMENT WOULD ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. ONE HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS SEAT HAD NO LUMBAR SUPPORT AND I SHOULD INSTALL LEATHER OVER THE CLOTH OR TRADE FOR ANOTHER HONDA. I WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY DEPRECIATED 30%. I KNEW I WAS ALREADY AT A LOSS SO I WASN'T GOING TO SINK ANY MORE MONEY INTO HONDA. I HAD TO TRADE MY CAR AFTER 1 MONTH OF OWNERSHIP.
