Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I have a 2010 honda accord exl. The driver seat is very uncomfortable and could possibly cause accidents by making the driver squirm around in the seat on long drives. Honda does not have a inflatable lumbar support, but a cheap piece of plastic that digs into the drivers back. This causes the driver to have to constantly squirm around on long drives to try and get comfortable enough to get there. The lumbar support feels like a brick in the drivers back making it hard to focus on driving. I've heard of owners removing from the driver seat, the back of the seat and then removing the cheap piece of lumbar support plastic to get the brick feeling out of there back. I do not suggest this but want to make the nhtsa aware this is happening. Beside the seat problem the accord is a good car, but i'd like to see a nhtsa investigator rent a 2010 honda accord exl and drive it for a few days, then take it on a long trip. See how your back feels then. |
