THE SEAT HEIGHT ABOVE THE FLOOR IS TOO SHORT, AND CURVE FOR THE SMALL OF THE BACK, (THE LUMBAR AREA) DOES NOT OFFER PROPER BACK SUPPORT.
WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR FOR 20 MINUTES,...THIS WAS NOT EVIDENT,..AND THERE WAS NO PAIN. OVER THE PERIOD OF A YEAR OF DRIVING THE CAR,...I DEVELOPED SCIATICA,..AND NOW HAVE NUMB FEET.
WHEN I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR, FOR A DAY OR TWO, THE CONDITION GETS BETTER. THE INJURY IS SUBTLE,--- SINCE THE POSITION OF THE SEAT TENDS TO SHIFT THE POSITION OF THE SPINE, AND NERVES OVER TIME. IT IS LIKE A CUMULATIVE, REPETITIVE INJURY,...DEVELOPING SLOWLY OVER TIME.
I COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE, AND SENT THEM MY MEDICAL REPORTS. THEY HAD A DEALERSHIP EXAMINE THE SEAT AND FOUND NO DEFECT IN THE WAY IT OPERATES. BUT THE SEAT DESIGN ITSELF COULD BE FAULTY. THEY DENIED MY REQUEST, TO LET ME OUT OF THE LEASE AND OFFERED NO OTHER REMEDY. MY TOES BURN EVERTIME I DRIVE THE CAR, AND I AM IN PAIN.
I WOULD WARN POTENTIAL BUYERS OF THE ELANTRA, WITH ANY BACK ISSUES AT ALL, TO STEER CLEAR OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TELL DURING THE 20 MINUTE TEST DRIVE,...SINCE THE INJURY DEVELOPS SLOWLY.
faulty seat design, seat height, too low
