Description of the problem | Whereas this does not serve as an immediate threat to life or limb, as a rn of 10 years, i do feel it needs attention from nhtsa for long-term health hazards. The seat in this vehicle, which i have owned for 2 days, is not only uncomfortable, it causes severe left leg numbness, pain, tingling, burning that doesn't resolve when exiting the vehicle. This is a step above discomfort, it is a long-term, possibly short-term health hazard, as i don't know that i could handle another 1 hr drive in the vehicle and still walk when getting out of the vehicle. Being able to walk and having intact neurovascular status in lower extremities is quite important and this vehicle compromises that significantly. As said, i understand there is a wide gap between ergonomics and safety concerns. I truly feel that, from a medical standpoint, honda has bridged this gap and created a true safety hazard with the design of these seats. I will be relentlessly searching for a solution in the meantime, but my aching butt and numb leg are crying for help from honda and nhtsa. |
