LOCKING DRIVER'S SEAT IN POSITION CLOSEST TO STEERING WHEEL.  EXAMINED MECHANISM UNDER SEAT AND DISCOVERED CABLE CONNECTED TO SEAT LEVER HAD FRAYED TO SINGLE WIRE.  SEAT COULD NOT BE MOVED FROM POSITION.  HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM; BECAUSE CABLE WAS INTEGRAL PART OF BOTTOM SEAT FRAME, IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE ENTIRE FRAME AT COST OF APPROXIMATELY 530 DOLLARS.  BECAUSE DEALER DID NOT STOCK FRAME IT WAS NECESSARY TO DRIVE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY FIVE INCHES SPACE BETWEEN STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVER'S CHEST.  WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, I WAS INFORMED \"HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS TYPE OF FAILURE TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE\" AND, BECAUSE THE CARE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR.  I THEN POINTED OUT THE FIT'S OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING CAUTION \"SEE PAGES 11-13 FOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY POSITION THE SEAT AND SEAT BACKS\".  THE PAGES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING WARNING: \"IF YOU SIT TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD, YOU CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY AN INFLATING FRONT AIRBAG, OR STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD\".  THE REPRESENTATIVE REPEATED THAT HONDA DID NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY MATTER.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT MECHANISM (WHICH IS USED WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME FREQUENCY AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE) SHOWED VIRTUALLY NO SIGN OF WEAR.  THERE IS NO MENTION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL OF A NEED TO CHECK UNDER THE SEAT FOR CABLE WEAR; NOR IS SUCH INSPECTION INCLUDED IN THE DEALER'S SERVICE INSPECTION CHECKLIST.  BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IT WOULD APPEAR THIS IN FACT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"FIT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
