Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2007Dont' call me an ahole for this one. Large woman ruin my seat?
So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's. Just over 40 miles on it :) Went inside to visit. Looked outside and her large nearly 300lb friend was sitting my driver's seat! I didn't think to lock my doors. And why people seem to think they can treat someone's new car like it is on the dealer lot is beyond me. So without sounding like a pig, are my seat springs ruined?? It seems fine to me I suppose. I am just kind of pissed at this. >So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's.

I wouldn't worry about it. While 300 is quite large, many people weigh 220 or 240. Honda has to assume that the owner may weight that much (or more) and spend hundreds of hours bouncing along in that seat. Compared to that, a few minutes of static 300 pounds is nothing.

I know exactly what you mean, although it is not likely that damage was done in a short time frame unless she was bouncing around trying out the new seat. I've got an ex-friend whose Caprice's seat was canted at a strange rearward angle and twisted too. He was built like a refrigerator and habitually moved around a lot, rather forcefully. I made a decision years ago that if we ever patched up our friendship, he was never stepping into my car. Manic depressive nut job, I'm well enough off without him. > On Jun 6, 6:25 pm, same.to...@gmail.com wrote: >> So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's.

Everybody wants to sound like an engineer. ; ^ ) It was bent up steel caused by seat supports being pushed past their elastic limit. >> 1. that's a caprice. >> 2. it was more likely fatigue rather than static load. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > It was bent up steel caused by seat supports being pushed past their > elastic limit. it could well be, but did you dissect the seat to check? most collapsed seats i've seen have been through fatigue, not static overload. > So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's.

I am just kind of pissed at this. you're evidently more bent than your honda is. forget it. and lock your freakin' car! > So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's.

Depends. Did she fart on it-- and if she did, are the seats cloth or leather? >> So I took my new 2007 Crv to my sister's. Just over 40 miles on it :) >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Depends.

Great, trust you to raise the level of discourse on the NG. ;) Funniest thing I've seen on this newsgroup in a long time!!! > Depends.

What makes you suspect they might be ruined? All you said is that a 300lb person sat in it for a short while. Not a flame, but it sounds to me more that you have a problem with your sister's friend's weight than any damage to your car. I'm completely sympathetic, BTW, about strangers climbing into one's new car. Next time just set the alarm (assuming it has one). If the alarm sounds as soon as she opens the door, I bet she runs the 100m in Olympic time. :) |
