Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This is the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. The front seat cannot be adjusted to my comfort....it does not stay up...I need to sit high and it is impossble to make it stay up because of where the lever to adjust it is. I really do not like the car at all, but the most annoying thing is not being able to see over the steering wheel. I have have been back to my dealership and they just blew it off...not thier problem...I would think there should be something that could be done. …”
NHTSA complaint #10721026, filed 2015-05, 100 miles“The headrests are totally uncomfortable in my new CR-V. I've had to purchase a lumbar support & neck rest (pillow), in an attempt to solve the horrible design of the seat/headrest. It's tilted too far forward & if I attempt to rest my back into the seat, my head is bent forward. No adjustment is able to fix the problem; it only goes up & down. The chevy traverse (which I rented a few months ago) has a perfect headrest. I was able to adjust it up/down & backward/forward!”
NHTSA complaint #10659098, filed 2014-11“The design is detrimental to a short person's (62 inch & under) safety. The starring does not go down far enough for the driver to see the road. Also the driver seat is tilted away from starring wheel. The headlight beam ends before the driver can see the road. I complained but they did not take any action to even check. If the starring wheel can be pushed further down and the length of the headlight beam could be extended further the driver would not see a dark road ahead of him/her. It is a crash waiting to happen. Please review this . I will be glad to answer any questions. …”
NHTSA complaint #10783047, filed 2015-10“The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. While driving at an unknown speed, the manual front driver side seat height adjustment would lower erroneously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.”
NHTSA complaint #10785965, filed 2015-10, 100 miles“Noticed one day that passenger seat had burn marks. Have smelt on occasion what seemed to be burning smells in the past. Don’t use the seat heater there since that was noticed. This is a danger.”
