“The driver and passenger seat of the Honda FIT is very uncomfortable. The seat forces the shoulders forward into a hunched position, just the neck out with the head restraint, and curves the back. I've had to flip the head restraint backward, add a pillow to my back, and I still aim to drive as little as possible. Combined with the low shocks, each bump or pothole reverberates throughout my body which isn't able to absorb the shock like it is supposed to. After only a month of driving it I began to experience neck pain that caused me to go to the doctor, then massage therapist. …”
NHTSA complaint #10713521, filed 2015-04, 2,000 miles“Both front headrests on our 2015 Honda FIT lx CVT are tilted forward so they, in turn, tilt our heads forward - this causes neck pain and the tendency to have too low of a line of sight, hence this is a safety risk - many cars have this defect but it is rare in cars that are designed for those who love to drive such as porsche, corvette, ferrari, lamborghini, even f1 and indy cars - those manufacturers know that safety and performance demand a neutral driving position so have upright headrests - our first choice for a 4 door car this time was a mazda 3 but its headrests were extreme - the…”
NHTSA complaint #10735852, filed 2015-07, 4,200 miles“The floor of the driver seat and the floor of the front passenger seat continuously flood after it rains. I have dried the floors with a vacuum and checked for any potential leaks or blockages. However, I cannot find any blockages or leaks that are causing the floors of the car to flood, and it continues to flood after it rains. Besides the floors, nothing else is wet--the seats themselves are dry, and the steering wheel and dashboard all look dry. I am worried this water can lead to the floors rotting or retaining water and having mold--which will be a health concern.”
NHTSA complaint #11563347, filed 2024-01“Driver side seat is cause my neck and back pain. In addition, not enough leg room for the left leg. It crammed in with little space. No back support low middle section of my back. I am only 5 7'. Body paint is starting show spot of unclear clear coat. In addition, random nose coming from center console and parking bark lever wiggles. Parking lever does not feel tight, I can move it side to side. The issue with the seat was present during test drive. I noticed this issue after three month driving the car. I thought need time to adjust to the car”
NHTSA complaint #10819751, filed 2016-01“The front seats are really uncomfortable. The head restraints on the front seats force our heads too far forwards, causing neck pains and sometimes neck aches or head aches. The front seats don't offer sufficient lumbar support. After 30-45 minutes of riding or driving, our lower backs start to hurt. This pain can last a while after exiting the vehicle. The front seat cushion cuts off circulation below the waist after 40-45 minutes of sitting in them. This numbs my legs, which can reduce reaction time in case I need to try to avoid an accident.”
