Hi All. Has anyone else had a femoral nerve problem, possibly linked with the Cali front seats? I’ve always liked the driving position and the firmness of the seats, but this year I had a two-month-long episode of pain in the front of my thigh, progressing to my knee. It started right at the end of three full days travelling (in the driver’s and front passenger’s seats). It was quite severe. My GP tells me that the signs of trapped nerves commonly follow long periods of driving and the recent VW circular about Transporter seat positioning for back health mentioned a very high incidence of back problems in van drivers. Looking online, there are plausible medical suggestions that the vibrations from the road may be a key factor (although other articles contradict this). I’m keen to avoid a recurrence. It would be interesting to know if there are more of us with the same issue and, if anyone else has had the same problem, did you find a way of stopping it coming back?
