#44 of 48 You might consider by stevedebi Sep 24, 2009 (3:25 pm)
Buying a wedge shaped headrest cushion. My wife had real problems with our 2002 Civic (she is 4'10"). We bought the cushion, which has an elastic strap to keep it attached to the headrest. She has been driving with it for 7 years now. I don't recall if this is the exact brand, but ours is something like this:   Headrest cushion   However, my wife uses it upside down - the big part is at the bottom. Works great for her.   Just a thought for those of you who are having problems. Replies to this message: ebroaded (Oct 12, 2009 8:37 am)

Replying to: g_spec (Aug 15, 2009 3:25 pm) I am so thrilled to have found this discussion! Thank you so much, also, for posting this contact information. Now that I know I'm not alone, I'm going to call Honda and register my complaint as well.   I am 5' 5", female, slender, and, yes, I do sit in an upright position. I have been driving a Honda Accord since 1982. I love this car. I love it so much, and have been driving it for so long, that it never occurred to me to take a test drive in our current car (a 2004) before we bought it. My husband thought I was crazy when I complained about the headrest -- he has no problem with it. (He's taller and sits very differently in the seat than I do.) Adjusting it higher or lower did not help. I've been driving with the headrest flipped for five years now. I can't bear it in the proper position for more than a few minutes. It tilts my head and neck too far forward, so that they are no longer aligned with my spine. If Honda does not fix this problem, I will never buy a Honda again. I will be looking for a car in which I can drive with the headrest in its proper position, so that it protects my neck in the event of a collision, without injuring my neck as I drive.

Hi,   The road noise in our CR-V is really, really bad. Any suggestions on what we can do to limit this besides turn up the radio? Replies to this message: lzc (Oct 23, 2009 7:22 pm)

Replying to: dwalsh2112 (Oct 23, 2009 1:57 pm) New, quieter tires is probably the one practical thing you can do. Tires with even limited off road capabilities are noisy. And Honda's OEM tire, Bridgestone's, are not highly regarded. I've read elsewhere on these boards that some people have thought the improvement was significant.
