NHTSA Complaint #10871377 — 2016 HONDA CIVIC

I PURCHASED A HONDA CIVIC LX ON 5-1-16, MY TEST DRIVE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LONG AND I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PAIN. MY DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LONG. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED HOME MY ARMS AND LEGS WERE NUMB, I HAD PAIN IN MY SACRAL, LUMBAR, AND CERVICAL SPINE AREAS. I HAD JUST TRADED IN MY 2016 HONDA FIT PURCHASED O 3-3-16 AT A $4,000.00 DOLLAR LOSS DUE TO SEVER BACK PAIN AND EXTREMITY NUMBNESS WHILE DRIVING THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THE REASON THE HONDA FIT 2016 SEATS WERE SO BAD WAS DO TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MADE IN MEXICO. I AM 5'3" AND I WEIGH 122 LB. I DO YOGA ALMOST EVERY DAY AND CONSIDER MYSELF PHYSICALLY FIT. I HAVE NO HISTORY OF BACK PAIN. THE SEAT BOTTOM IS SO LOW AND SHORT THAT I HAVE NOTHING UNDER MY THIGHS FOR SUPPORT AND THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT FLOOR IS SO SEVER THAT MY KNEES ARE UP BY THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY BUTTOCKS IS WAY DOWN CLOSE TO THE FLOOR. MY KNEES ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING THE CENTER CONSOLE AND DRIVER DOOR WHEN TURNING OR HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CAR OWNER FOR MANY YEARS AND AM SHOCKED BY THIS DANGEROUS GEOMETRICAL ERROR IN ERGONOMICS THAT HONDA IS MARKETING. MY RESPONSE TIME COULD BE SEVERELY HINDERED DO TO THE HAZAROUS INTERIOR SET UP OF THIS 2016 CIVIC LX.
