“My brand new 2010 Honda FIT sport is breaking my neck! The design of the headrest does not allow me to sit in a comfortable position. Because of chronic back problems, I normally drive with the seat back in an almost vertical position. The tilt of the headrest forces my head forward. Within minutes, the pain in my neck and back becomes unbearable.”
NHTSA complaint #10348532, filed 2010-08, 25 miles“Seats in Honda FIT 2010 are causing severe back problems to the point that I may need to have surgery. I am not prone to severe lower back problems but since purchasing this vehicle I have been to the doctor 3 times and seen a physiotherapist. The doctor has now made an appointment for me with a physatrist and if this doctor cannot resolve my problem, I will have to have back surgery.”
NHTSA complaint #10368326, filed 2010-11, 3,142 miles“I purchased Honda FIT and drove it home to realize that I have to either drive without a head restraint and compromise my safety or not be able to drive for more than 20 minutes a day. The head rest pushes my head forward and strains my neck to the point that I either have to sit upright away from the seat or stretch my neck far out in pain. Either way it is not safe, whether in case of accident or generally for my health. With no cool-off period on new cars in california, I cannot return the car which at this point has 12 miles on it, so I am forced to drive unsafely. …”
