Front Seat Head Restraint problems of the 2012 Honda Civic

The seat is far from ergonomic including the headrest. There is minimal to no lumbar support. The headrest is angled causing the occupants head to be forced forward in an unnatural position. This has resulted in pins and needle sensation in both arms and legs and multiple visits to my chiropractor. The pain and discomfort last long after I am out of the car leading to sleepless nights.

Headrest's fixed, forward protruding angle causes me driver fatigue and shape of seats causes numbness. These affect driver reaction and pose risk. I would much prefer the pre-2009 headrests because I was able to stay alert and not have my head shoved forward in an uncomfortable, non-ergonomic manner that causes fatigue within just minutes of driving. Please stand up to the insurance companies.

The seats, particularly the front seats, cause extreme pain in the buttocks and legs. This was not evident during my test drive in another vehicle (same model). But after purchasing the car I am in so much pain after driving about ten minutes that I am seriously considering selling it. I originally thought maybe it was just me, but I now see on line that there are many more people who are having the same issue. I have tried adding lumbar supports and various configurations of pillows but they do not remedy the situation. Additionally, the head restraint is tilted so far forward that one's neck is tilted forward causing another set of issues because you are not driving in the normal position.

Front seat ergonomics are bad! curves your back forward and head down. The headrest is tilted too far forward and down. It has ruined my back. Visibility front and back is minimal. Can't see hood or car corners. Distance to objects, other cars etc. Is a guessing game. When foot is resting on brake and you step on gas, engine drops to idle. Dealer says this is a safety feature. It's dangerous!!!!!.
