Brand new 2007 with tilted head restraints which caused head, neck, back pain. Called dealership, and they stated nothing they could do. I called Honda corporation and awaiting call back. They did said had not had any problems, and in no way am I to modify head rest for any reason. . . Funny ,there were multi websites regarding Civic head rest problems. What am I to do?? a constant headache.
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic ex. The contact stated that the head rest caused him to lean his head forward and place his neck in a bent position. This affects people who are 5'1 to 5'5. The dealer advised him to remove, bend, turn the headrest around, or purchase a headrest for his year, make and model vehicle. The current and failure mileage were 76. The engine size is unknown.
I began to have back and neck pain after buying a Honda Civic 2007. I finally realized this pain is due to the forward tilt of the headrest which pushes my head forward and down whenever I am seated in the car. I have developed serious neck problems requiring treatment, physical therapy, and possible surgery in the future. This headrest design causes problems for passengers too. These headrests cannot be adjusted to a comfortable position. Hundreds of drivers are complaining online and in other ways of similar problems with headrests on Honda and other makes of cars manufactured to us "safety" regulations. These headrests have caused additional safety concerns as drivers must try to adapt seat and/or headrest positions in order to experience some relief from the pain caused by abnormal body posture. I cannot afford a new car. It is the responsibility of the NHTSA to develop and provide a solution for the problems they have created with this design regulation or to allow the car makers to do so.
The design of the head restraints forces the head and neck into an abnormal, uncomfortable position. This has caused pain and injury to my neck as a result of driving in this position. I want Honda to provide replacement head restraints with an alternate design which will alleviate the bodily stress caused by this awkward position. This is an ongoing problem since I purchased the car in 2007. Hundreds of others have complained about this dangerous safety issue.
