Consumer Description

THE LUMBAR SUPPORT LEVER WAS ACTIVATED BY MY HUSBAND AND WHEN ACTIVATED, IT STICKS OUT BEYOND THE DRIVER'S SEAT ABOUT 1/2 INCH. WHEN I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE, MY LOWER BACK HIT THE LEVER RESULTING IN TWO BULGED DISCS AND A TEAR IN THE L4-S1 REGION ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE SEVERITY OF THE INJURY HAS RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY $10,000 OF MEDICAL BILLS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THAT A LUMBAR SUPPORT LEVER SHOULD NOT BE IN THE PATHWAY OF ONE'S BACK WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE.*AK
