I took this seat apart to fix a wobble. Now I think there might be a larger safety concern with these seats. Problem: the rear height adjustment bar on the driver's seat has yielded to failure along a weld. This bar is used for synchronizing the seat height on the remote side and sending side. Symptom: this results in the remote side of the seat's height to float, causing a small but significant amount of twisting of one side as the (driver's) seat rocks on the height adjustment feet. Safety: the "twisting" action in a collision could cause unexpected failure of seat. . Read more...
Bought the 2009 Honda Civic January 2016. Within weeks I developed a sore hip and then pain down my leg to my knee. Most uncomfortable seat I ever sat in. I tried using a cushion. It didn't help much. Its especially painful on any outing lasting more than an hour. Will not take it on long trips. I visited car complaints. Com and realized that others with similar issues. Its defiantly a design flaw. Im seriously thinking of selling the car.
I have been experience ongoing lower back, hip and knee pain for the past few years. I have difficulty walking after getting out of the car.
