PAGE 1 OF 2 - I PURCHASED MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX-L WITH 2.4L CVT IN JUNE OF 2015 NEW WITH MAYBE 5 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES JUST MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM BRANDON HONDA. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY OFFICE COMPLEX ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO JUST SHUT OFF CAUSING THE STEERING COLUMN TO ALSO SEIZE WHILE THE ODOMETER FLASHED "FCW FAILURE" ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ON STEADY. SINCE THAT OCCURRENCE IT SEEMS AS IF I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPEATED TRANSMISSION/FRONT END ISSUES ' SUCH AS JERKING BETWEEN RPMS, DOWN 'SHIFTING' FOR NO REASON CAUSING RPMS TO JUST DROP INSTEAD OF HOLDING WHEN RELEASING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 55+ MPH, ETC. THE LAST 3 TIMES INCLUDED AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE WHERE THE GEARSHIFT WOULD GO FROM (D) DRIVE AND INTO (R) REVERSE WHILE CONTINUING TO GO IN A FORWARD MOTION WITH BACK UP CAMERA DISPLAYING ON DASH SCREEN AND (R) DISPLAYING ON THE ODOMETER WHERE THE GEAR IS DISPLAYED. THE DISCOVERY OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD TOOK PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON AN INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65+ MPH. THE PASSENGER AT THE TIME WAS REACHING TO GRAB THEIR BEVERAGE FROM CUP HOLDER CLOSEST TO THE GEAR SHIFTER WHEN IT WAS HIT/TAPPED IN THE UPWARD MOTION ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION INTO (R) REVERSE. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO GRASP WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE WHILE I'M LOOKING FORWARD INTO THE DIRECTION I'M DRIVING, I GLANCE DOWN AT THE ODOMETER AND NOTICE (R) IN PLACE OF THE (D) WHERE THE CURRENT GEAR ENGAGED WOULD BE INDICATED. THEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE I NOTICE THE CAMERA WAS ON DISPLAY BUT NOT REALIZING THE CAMERA WAS FROM THE REAR AND COULD SEE THE VEHICLES DIRECTLY BEHIND ME ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

PAGE 2 OF 2 - I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BRANDON HONDA AND BASICALLY WAS ADVISED BY A SERVICE ADVISOR, MANAGER AND AMERICA HONDA CO THAT MY VEHICLE IS 'OPERATING BY DESIGN', 'MY ISSUES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED ON SEVERAL TEST DRIVE ATTEMPTS' AND 'IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE' TALKING ABOUT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAN ENGAGE INTO REVERSE. AS OF TODAY I HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND FRONT END CONCERNS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF BRANDON HONDA. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT 'THIS WAS A SAFETY FEATURE' AND 'IT'S OPERATING AS DESIGNED' WHICH BOTH ARE NOT SOLUTIONS TO RESOLVE A MECHANICAL/SAFETY DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR DESIGN. I HAVE GIVEN BRANDON HONDA MULTIPLE TSBS TO REVIEW EACH VISIT AND KEPT HAVING THEM REJECTED. ONE OF THOSE TSBS MENTIONS HAVING TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE A MODULE INSIDE OF THE CASING. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN TO AVOID HAVING TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AND KEEP DRAGGING THEIR FEET TO ACCOMPLISH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THE ORIGINAL HONDA CASE # [XXX] WAS OPENED AND THEN CLOSED VIA VOICEMAIL PRIOR TO ME RECEIVING MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE IF THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, YET TO MY SATISFACTION. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR HONDA TO ACT AND MAKE MY VEHICLE, EXPERIENCE WHOLE????? I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH HARD EARNED $ NOT COUNTERFEIT, BROKEN OR LIFE THREATENING. NOTE: I HAVE VIDEO OF THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE MOTION WHILE CONTINUING FORWARD, ALONG WITH SEVERAL TSBS, WORK ORDERS, PICTURES AND DOCUMENTS TO SUPPORT MY CASE. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I'M DRIVING OVER THE HOWARD FRANKLIN BRIDGE (15,899') EVERY DAY IN MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM MY OFFICE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR THE VIDEO, PICTURES OR DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO SUPPORT MY CASE. RESPECTFULLY, A VERY UNSATISFIED BRANDON HONDA CUSTOMER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TRUNK ON MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY OPENS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE THE TRUNK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM LEAVING MY HOUSE SO I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRUNK OPENING FEATURE ON THIS CAR. I BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND AFTER DRIVING FOR 1/2 A BLOCK OR 1 BLOCK THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUNK OR THE TRUNK LID WILL OPEN FULLY AND BLOCK MY VISIBILITY OUT OF MY REAR WINDOW. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM NOT SURE IF STARTING THE CAR CAUSES THIS PROBLEM OR PUTTING THE CAR IN GEAR OR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THAT SERIES OF ACTIONS THAT CAUSES THE TRUNK TO OPEN. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I LEAVE MY HOUSE BUT IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON HONDA CARS SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY, STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 6:45AM ON FRIDAY, 10/14/2016. I WAS TRAVELING ON AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON I95 NORTH IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE IDEAL. AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, I HEAD A DEAFENING AND STARTLING EXPLOSION; THE NOISE WAS SIMILAR TO THAT OF A LOUD SHOTGUN BLAST. I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT - I WAS LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I LOOKED AROUND BUT TRAFFIC WAS PROCEEDING NORMALLY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS OF A TRUCK TIRE EXPLODING BUT I SAW NO TRUCKS. I THEN CONSIDERED SOMEONE MAY BE DISCHARGING A WEAPON. FINALLY, I HEARD NOISE OF THE WIND ABOVE MY HEAD AND PULLED OFF AT THE CLOSEST REST AREA. ONCE I STOPPED SHAKING, I INSPECTED THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND SAW THE SHATTERED GLASS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND THEN MY SUPERVISOR. FINALLY, I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT HONDA TO REPORT THE EVENT. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT RENTING A VEHICLE WOULD BE $33 PER DAY. AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER ARRIVED AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SPOKE TO HIM, HE AUTHORIZED A RENTAL AT NO COST. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, I WAS ASSIGNED A RENTAL VEHICLE AND I DROVE HOME. THE CSA CALLED ME AND REPORTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD FOUND EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING STRIKING THE FRONT OF THE CAR, BOUNCING ONTO AND SHATTERING THE SUNROOF, THEN DENTING THE TRUCK OF THE CAR. FROM A DYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS POSSIBLE PLUS THE ONLY NOISE OF WHICH I WAS AWARE WAS FROM OVERHEAD. ALSO, GRANTED IT HAS BEEN ONLY FOUR DAYS, BUT I AM VERY SKITTISH ABOUT DRIVING. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW BACK IN JULY 2015. ON 10/16/2016 I TOOK THE CAR ON I-66 AND AT ABOUT 80 MPL THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND KNOCKING. ENGINE RUNS FINE AT IDLE BUT KNOCKS EVEN AT A SPEED < 20 MPH. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. IT HAS ABOUT 11K MILES ON IT. CAN SEE A SAFETY RECALL ON 2015 HONDA ACCORD WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SUNROOF EXPLODED ON 2015 HONDA ACCORD AT 9:30 AM ON 9/19/16 WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ONE MILE BEFORE EXITING. SOUNDED AS IF A SEMI TIRE EXPLODED NEAR BY. IT WAS NOT AN IMPACT BREAK. IT EXPLODED OUTWARD NOT INWARD. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES CLOSE ENOUGH TO SHOOT A ROCK AND IT WOULD HAVE HIT WINDSHIELD. I NOW HAVE ON MY ONCE PERFECT UNBLEMISHED CAR SCRATCHES ON TOP AND ON TRUNK. VEHICLE IS 1.5 YEARS OLD, 18,000 MILES AND HONDA HAS INFORMED ME THEY WILL NOT COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY DESPITE THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN DEFECT. I HAVE IMAGES ON PHONE BUT HAVING A HARD TIME ATTACHING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE AT A SPEED OF ~60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR LOST CONTROL AND JERKED TOWARDS THE LEFT. IT ZIGZAGGED BETWEEN THE LEFT AND MIDDLE LANE AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE TWICE. ALTHOUGH DAMAGE TO OUR HONDA ACCORD WAS MAINLY COSMETIC, THE ENGINE WAS DEAD BEFORE/AFTER THE COLLISION. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN NEW BRIGHTON, MN, AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CASE # IS 16507355. WE'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO AMERICAN HONDA (CASE NUMBER 04824446) ON JULY 11TH, 2016, BUT DIDN'T RECEIVE PROPER ATTENTION. AFTER A SIMPLE CHECK AND TEST DRIVE, THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NO ISSUE/DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVE ANY FOLLOW-UP YET.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE A SHARP TOP SIDE CUTOFF THAT MAKES SEEING THE ROAD AND SIGNS AND OBJECTS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN HILL AND IF THE ROAD RISES SHARPLY, YOU CANNOT SEE VERY FAR AHEAD, I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE CROSSING A STREET BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, THE HEATER/AC CONTROLS ARE NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED, AS ARE THE RADIO CONTROLS. WHERE ONE KNOB COULD CONTROL THE ON/OFF AND FAN SPEED, THIS CAR HAS THREE SEPARATE SMALL BUTTONS WHERE YOU MUST TAKE YOURS EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND. THE SAME APPLIES TO CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE; THERE ARE TWO UP/DOWN SEPARATE BUTTONS, WHERE ONE SIMPLE KNOB WOULD WORK. THE RADIO, TOO HAS TOO MANY NEEDLESS BUTTONS TO PUSH. IF TEXTING IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, THEY HAVE MADE THIS CAR DANGEROUS TO CHANGE ALMOST ANY CONTROL. THERE SHOULD BE THE RULE THAT CONTROLS BE KEPT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LEXUS EVEN HAS A SEPARATE MOUSE YOU MUST USE TO CHANGE SETTINGS! IT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS IDENTIFIED A CURRENT SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, YET CANNOT CORRECT THIS FLAW IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. IT MAY TAKES MONTHS BEFORE THE REPAIR IS MADE. THEIR CURRENT WRITTEN ADVICE IS TO "...AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." HOW IS A FAMILY OF FOUR EXPECTED TO DO THIS WITH A FAMILY SEDAN SEATING FOUR? WE HAVE NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE IN MY COMMUNITY. SHALL I ALWAYS LEAVE A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY BEHIND THEN? NEVER LEAVE HOME? IF HONDA CANNOT PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS REASONABLE GIVEN THE SAFETY CONCERN.

OBVIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BREAKING. HONDA SAYS THEY CAN CORRECT THE ROTOR PROBLEMS WITH A BREAK JOB FOR $209.00. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF ROTOR PROBLEM COMPLAINTS.

WHEELS
ON JULY 9, 2016, WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON INTERSTATE I-75 RIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE. WE HAD ONLY TRAVELED 4 OR 5 MILES WHEN WE HEARD A HORRENDOUS NOISE WHICH CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS ALL MY HUSBAND COULD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR UNTIL WE GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHILE HE WAS STEERING IT OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, I SAW THE REMAINS OF THE MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 215/55R215 RIGHT REAR TIRE GO SAILING PAST THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. THESE TIRES HAD 12,619 MILES ON THEM WHEN THIS BLOW-OUT OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. THIS TIRE SIMPLY EXPLODED!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR FAILED TO START BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL REFUSED TO DEPRESS SLIGHTLY AND CLOSE ITS PART OF THE STARTER CIRCUIT. THAT FAILURE-TO-DEPRESS RENDERED THE DASHBOARD PUSH-BUTTON INOPERABLE. HONDA DEALER CLAIMED THAT BRAKE PEDAL USE DURING PARKING HAD OVER-PRESSURIZED THE BRAKE PEDAL CYLINDER, WHICH WOULD GRADUALLY BLEED OFF. THAT BLEED OFF TOOK ANYWHERE FROM 5 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS, IN 3 SEPARATE INSTANCES. THIS PROBLEM RENDERS THIS $30,030 CAR USELESS FOR TAKING A PREGNANT WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL OR FOR A MYRIAD OF OTHER HAVE-TO-START-THE-CAR-NOW REASONS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING PLAZA ONTO THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH AT FIRST, THE REAR OF THE CAR STARTED SHAKING MILDLY. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED SHAKING EXCESSIVELY, VIBRATING VERY LOUDLY. I THOUGHT I HAD 2 FLAT TIRES BUT THEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON...THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL AND THE "POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM" I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE ALL OF THE TIRES WERE OK. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES LETTING IT COOL DOWN STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF THE DISPLAY WARNINGS WERE OFF I TURNED OFF THE "ECON" OPTION AND PUSHED THE "EV" (ELECTRIC VEHICLE) BUTTON HOPING IF THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THAT, THOSE OPTIONS WOULD NOW BE DISABLED I VERY SLOWLY DROVE IT HOME (ABOUT 2 MILES). DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE EXACT SAME HAPPENED AS ABOVE EXCEPT THIS TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY LOOSE I PULLED INTO THE MEDIAN THE RUMBLING IS VERY CONCERNING IT IS SO AGGRESSIVE THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS FALLING APART. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ALL MESSED UP. I'M NOT SURE IF THE OPTIONS I CHECKED ARE CORRECT, THE OPTIONS TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEMS IT MIGHT INCLUDE SOMETHING I DIDN'T CHECK MARK OR I MIGHT HAVE CHECK MARKED SOMETHING UNRELATED. I JUST DID MY BEST TO GUESS. I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT CARS SO MAYBE YOU COULD VERIFY THAT THE INFORMATION PROBLEM AREAS ARE CORRECT. THANK YOU PLEASE ADVISE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, BOTH LENS COVERS SHOW A THICK ROUND CIRCLE DISTORTING THE BEAM PROJECTION.. HONDA CLAIMS THIS HAPPENS ON ALL THE ACCORDS AND REFUSES TO DO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY SAID IF THEY REPLACED THE LIGHTS IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY SAID ITS DUST BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE CIRCLE IS ETCHED, EITHER WAY THE LIGHT APPEARS DISTORTED

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON FRIDAY MAY 6, 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 4, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED INWARD HITTING ME WITH GLASS AND DISTRIBUTING GLASS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE INSIDE OF CAR, FRONT AND BACK. VERY LOUD EXPLOSION AND ALL GLASS CAME INSIDE CAR. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BESIDE ME OR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DOING 70 MPH. HONDA SERVICE SANFORD FLORIDA SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THEIR WINDOWS DOING THIS, HOWEVER, WHEN I GO ON LINE I SEE MANY ENTRIES ON THE INTERNET OUTLINING THIS SAME IDENTICAL ISSUE, PLUS THERE ARE LAW SUITS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST HONDA DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HONDA SERVICE SANFORD CLEANED ALL OF THE GLASS FROM WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF CAR WITHOUT TAKING PICTURES. I WILL TAKE PICTUES OF THE INSIDE OF DOOR ONCE THEY REMOVE PANELS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO ENSURE THAT THAT IS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS THAT ITS REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND CAUSES INJURY OR DEATH TO OTHER.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE DOES NOT DECELERATE WHEN GOING GOING DOWN HILL OR DRIVING IN CITY CITY TRAFFIC OR ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY. ON 4 MAY 2016, TESTED DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE MR. TOM ZUMIEDA.. MR. ZUMIEDA STATED HE FOUND THE VEHICLE TO BE WORKING AS DESIGNED AND AT FACTORY SPECS. HE DID VERIFY MY COMPLAINT AND ADVISED AND DEMONSTRATED HOW TO USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN APPLICABLE TO CHANGE THE SHIFT PATTERN TO HELP THE DOWN SHIFT PROCESS WHEN SHOWING DOWN AND FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL.

SEATS
THE SEATS, IN PARTICULAR THE HEAD RESTRAINTS (HEADRESTS), ARE OF A FAULTY DESIGN IN THAT THEY ARE TILTED TOO FAR FORWARD FOR ANY KIND OF COMFORT AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. ONLY IF ONE DRIVES WHILE IN A SEMI-RECLINED POSITION IS THE HEADREST TOLERABLE. COMPARED TO A SAFER, MORE VERTICAL DRIVING POSITION, THIS SEMI-RECLINED (APPROX 25 DEGREES FROM VERTICAL) DRIVING POSITION HINDERS ONE'S ALERTNESS AND ABILITY TO SEE AND REACT TO ALL TRAFFIC SITUATIONS; THEREFORE THIS LACK OF HEADREST TILT OR FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE PEOPLE NOT IDEALLY FITTING THE SEAT AS DESIGNED. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR IS AS IT WAS DESIGNED AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT NEW, I KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED AT ALL. THIS TYPE OF MALADJUSTMENT IS NOT READILY RECOGNIZABLE IN A BRIEF TEST DRIVE.
