NHTSA Complaint #10783120 — 2015 FORD FUSION

I RENTED A FORD FUSION IN PITTSBURG FOR 10 DAYS. IT HAD ELECTRIC SEATS THAT WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO POSITION TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION. I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS, SO I AM USED TO RENTALS AND AIR TRAVEL RISKS. FROM THE 2ND DAY IN THE FUSIONS, I WAS FEELING A PAIN IN MY RIGHT LEG ( CALF). WHEN I RETURNED HOME IN NH 10 DAYS LATER, I WENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR WHO SENT ME FOR AN ULTRASOUND WHICH FOUND THE INCIDENCE OF THE DVT. I AM UNDER TREATMENT NOW AND AM OK, BUT AM CONCERNED THAT THE ERGONOMICS OF SOME VEHICLES MAY BE CONTRIBUTORY TO CERTAIN ILLNESS FOR HUMANS. WANTED TO REPORT SO THE INCIDENCE OF DVT TO SPECIFIC MODELS WITH ELECTRICS SEATS COULD BE TRACKED DOWN AND INCLUDED IN FUTURE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS. I SEARCHED THE LITERATURE AND INTERNET AND DID NOT FIND ANY MENTION OF AN ASSOCIATION OF DVT WITH FUSIONS, BUT IT CONCEIVABLY COULD BE RELATED TO ANY ELECTRIC SEAT MANUFACTURER.
