2010 Mariner Lumbar issues by mrm6363

My wife has a new 2010 Premier Mariner (2 weeks old and 300 miles). She is having terrible back pain since driving this car. When I adjustment the lumbar support, not much happens from the softest to hardest setting. There is too much support for her that hits her back in the wrong spot.
Is this normal??? Right now she cannot drive the car and I don't know what options I have.

An auto upholstery shop can adjust the foam, support, maybe tweak the lumbar setting, and hopefully make it fit better.
 
Your dealer may be able to recommend a shop and maybe you could even talk them into working out a discount for any recommended fix.
 
There are some lumbar support cushions available at Walgreen-type stores (cheap) or more expensive ones made from memory foam that some people have good luck with. Tempur-pedic is one brand, and they run around $90.
 
The pedals should be parallel with the seat but that doesn't sound like the problem here.
 
It's hard finding this kind of thing out on a short test drive unfortunately.

Is it normal for there to be minimal difference when adjusting the manual lumbar support?
 
I cannot tell much difference from each extreme setting.

I don't own one so it's hard to say. There's not much difference in my older Outback, or so it seems.
 
Anyone?
