| 1991 | STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID | IS A WARNING SOUND AVAILABLE FOR LEAVING LIGHTS ON? APPRX. HOW MUCH WOULD THIS COST TO ADD? I HAVE MECHANICS LOOK INTO SEALING THE TRUNK, HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS BEEN FIXED, YET RAIN WATER ACCUMULATES IN GREY BOX AND LEAKS UPON OPENING TRUNK. *AK |
| 2009 | SEATS | MANY DRIVERS, MYSELF INCLUDED, CANNOT DRIVE A NEW CAR WITH THE HEADREST INSTALLED. I MUST HAVE A STRAIGHTER THAN "AVERAGE" POSTURE. THE FORWARD TILTING DESIGN FORCES MY CHIN INTO MY CHEST . WHILE SEARCHING FOR AN AFTERMARKET HEADREST, I REALIZED THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ALSO RESORTED TO REMOVING OR TURNING THE HEADREST BACKWARDS RESULTING IN ZERO WHIPLASH PROTECTION. I IMAGINE THAT SOME GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY MANDATED THE SHAPE OF THE HEADREASTS THAT RESULT IN A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL RESULT THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, LEAVES A GREAT MANY INDIVIDUALS EXPOSED TO SEVERE INJURY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY BODY SHAPE DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO JUST DEAL WITH IT. WHILE I HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS DESIGN I KNOW, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF INTERNET POSTINGS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME DILEMMA, THAT SERIOUS INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING MY NEW CAR THE FIRST DAY WITH THE HEADREST REVERSED, I LET THE CLUTCH OUT A LITTLE TO FAST WHILE STOPPED ON A HILL AND IT CAUSED MY HEAD TO JERK BACK. IF I HAD BEEN A LITTLE LESS LIMBER OR HAD GIVEN THE ENGINE MORE GAS I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INJURED. WHILE I AM NOT GOING TO CHECK THE BOX BELOW FOR INJURIES CERTAINLY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS VEHICLE. EVERY CAR I TOOK FOR A TEST DRIVE LAST WEEK HAD THE SAME POOR DESIGN THAT DID NOT ALLOW FOR INDIVIDUALS TO ADJUST THE TILT TO SAFELY FIT THEIR POSTURE. *TR |
