NHTSA Complaint #10938946 — 2016 HONDA FIT

2016 HONDA FIT EX DRIVERS SEAT SAFETY ISSUE: THE DESIGN OF THE DRIVERS SEAT MAKES DRIVING THIS CAR FOR ANY DISTANCE UNBEARABLE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE OF THE POOR DESIGN OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I CAN SLIGHTLY MODIFY THE SEAT CUSHIONING BY ADDING PILLOWS AND PADS BUT THIS CHANGES THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER AND COULD POTENTIALLY ALTER SOME OF THE SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS AIRBAGS IF DEPLOYED. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE ANY DISTANCE DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT WHICH MAY CREATE DRIVER RESPONSE ISSUES TO AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DUE TO DISTRACTIONS AND PHYSICAL PAIN CAUSED BY THE SEAT. THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAPPENS AT ALL TIME WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
