1. I suffered a seatback failure in my 2018 Acura RDX when I was rear-ended at a high speed. The car is currently with my insurance company but I'm sure it's available for inspection. 2. The seatback failure made a big enough gap between my seat and seatbelt for me to slip completely under my seatbelt. I landed on the backseat floor after I smacked my head on the side rear airbag. I have multiple injuries from the seatback failure and my children would have been hurt from this failure had they been in the car with me. 3. N/A 4. The vehicle was totaled. The insurance adjuster said all seats "had shifted". I asked if that was another word for "broken". He said "yes". 5. No warnings appeared. The car was in perfect working order.
UPON ACQUIRING THE VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CAR MAKES ME SICK. THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE STRONG FUMES CAUSED BY ARTIFICIAL LEATHER. ON FEW OCCASIONS I FELT SO DIZZY THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE, AS IT WOULD BE UNSAFE. AT LEAST ONE MORE PERSON ALSO FELT SICK IN THIS CAR. OBVIOUSLY, WHEN A VEHICLE MAKES A PERSON SICK, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DRIVER CANNOT PROPERLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. ALL CONVECTIONAL METHODS, SUCH AS VENTILATION AND DEEP CLEANING, DID NOT IMPROVE THE TOXIC FUMES. I CONTACTED ACURA WITH NO AVAIL. THEY OPENED A CASE # 08920583. THE CASE MANAGER APRIL STATED THAT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MAY GET SICK FROM THIS MATERIAL WAS VERY SMALL AND THEREFORE ACURA WAS NOT GOING TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM. ACURA IS APPARENTLY AWARE THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE, WHO MAY BECOME SICK WHILE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES.
