I noticed metal bars sticking out of the headrests of my 2004 honda civic. these are the bars that give the headrest its structure, but there is supposed to be cushioning that protects the bar from coming in contact with the driver's or passengers' skull. whatever cheap cushioning once existed has worn away and the bars are even visibly protruding from the headrests. i filed a complaint with honda but no action was taken. i am terrified to think of the possible consequences that might befall a person who is unaware of the cheap lack of cushioning in their headrests. one can only imagine what would happen in a collision of accident, or any other occurrence in which a person's head would slam into metal bars instead of safe cushioning. death and serious injury are certainly in the ballparks of this negligence. *tr
The head rest of our 2004 honda civic lx has the metal frame exposed through the foam. the metal frame is exposed in both head rests of front seats. we are in the process of checking to see if a recall has been made. the concern is if a wreck occurs, the metal frame would cause severe head trauma or even death. *tr

Driver's seat began to move while driving the vehicle. took car to dealer who reported seat bushing are worn already. car has only been driven 10k km ( 6k miles). parts are back ordered so seat is still loose. a potential problem if invovled in collision before seat is repaired. honda issued sb624365 back in july 2001 for a similiar complaint, as yet no sb for 2004 model year issued.*ak

My fiance has been involved in two rear-end collisions, both in honda civics, over the last year (the last accident happened on 11/12/04), and in both cases, the driver's seat back broke so that she was thrown back at a greater angle than one would have expected. the first accident required her to have a painful back operation, with various vertebrates being fused. this cannot be a coincident that her seat back broke on both occasions.*ak
