i got a flying rock on Jamboree in irvine on that highway style street near the district. Caused a dent on my door... Also the front passenger seat has a lumpy area on it!... Should i go to dealer to fix the lumpy area?

 

lumpy area is the airbag sensor just sit further back

 

moderator, please change the title of the thread.

makes it sound like there was something wrong with the car.

 

Man, I know how you feel. I was coming home from work one afternoon, on a sort of country road, and there's this elderly man with a weed-eater working on a steep sloped area of his yard. I thought, "I should stop and help that old guy, wouldn't want him to fall down that slope". As I slowed down to offer help, "BAM! BAM!" two rocks bounce off my rear passenger door. I drove off fast, wishing the old bastard would fall down the hill!

 

Little better? Ehh, didnt change the link anyway. Hehh

How bad is the dent? I have a TINY one on my front door down by the sideskirt. Its only noticeable at the right light. Its the only one I have. Have it pulled out. $30-$50.

Also, Ive never noticed any lumpy spots in my seats. It wouldnt hurt to bring it in and ask about it. Only thing youll waste is time. Look on the bright side, youll get to drive your Fit!

 

Airbag sensor in the driver's seat? What, to turn off the driver's side airbag when no one is in the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion?

 

drvers seat has it too - dual stage airbag.....

also he said passenger seat.
theres like 552 indicators about the airbags through out the car

 

Bummer about the rock and the dent.
About the seat, ive never felt any lump??

i dunno, its like in the middle of the seat there is a little rectangular strip about 1 foot wide across that goes down. feel for it, and then on one edge my seat, i think the fabric got stretched out and now there is a raised area around the edge of this "strip"

 

ya its the weight sensors for the airbag-
i never noticed it in my car b4, but i could feel it when i sat in hondasforlifes..

youll get used to it after a few

 

Just to be safe,get it checked out.It's no cost to you and they will fix anything they need to under warrenty.

 

hmmm... interesting you mentioned "lump" in the seat...
I just noticed yesterday that there was a peculiar verticle dent in my front passenger seat back. When I touched it I noticed it was more like a semi hard verticle plastic strip about 10" high.

It was in the grey center section of the front passenger seat back,
if you were to face the seat back it would be slightly more on the right in the grey part.

I thought it was odd.....maybe the same thing you noticed....yes/no?

 

Let the dealer check the seat if it's not comfortable. I didn't feel any lump on my passenger seat.

 

I've never noticed any lump, but I will check it out next time I go out.

 

wtf snap fit? if i didn't know any better, you came and spied my car! lol yeah your car has it in the exact same spot then

 

yeah i remember that...lol....that a funny convo...odd but funny

 

Maybe I did....whatcha guunna do bout it hahaaaa

yeah I just thought it was really weird...good to know mine is not the odd man out though... howdy from idiosyncraticville! heehee

I didnt test it to see if I actually noticed it while sitting in the seat...but my GF has never noticed it, and she notices the oddest things...

I will probably investigate it further later....just for kicks

 

so after you said its in the seat back i had to think..
heres the answer maybe...?
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)

maybe its that...
or just the channel for the headrest post.

o and yes... i noticed it too
i checked it out.. i got the same thing its prolly either 1 of the 2 things i said b4..
