I, LIKE OTHERS I'VE READ, HAVE BACKACHES, NECK PAIN AND LEG PROBLEMS WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR. IT'S RIDICULOUS. WHO CHANGED THE DESIGN OF COMFORTABLE SEATS TO THIS JUNK?? WHY WOULD THE DESIGN CHANGE AT ALL?? SOMETIMES IMPROVEMENTS AREN'T REALLY IMPROVEMENTS, AND THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE. SHAMED ON HONDA. I'VE OWNED FOUR HONDAS. I SURE WON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE WITH UNCOMFORTABLE SEATING. *TR

I LEASED A NEW 2010 ACCORD EX 4-CYL. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED THE SEAT WAS NOT TO MY LIKING AND TRIED TO ADJUST IT TO NO AVAIL. THE DISCOMFORT CAUSED BY THE LUMBAR SUPPORT IN THE ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT IS INTOLERABLE. AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED, IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE ON LONG DRIVES OVER AN HOUR AND MAY CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE BY THE DISTRACTION IT CREATES DUE TO CONSTANTLY SHIFTING AROUND TRYING TO FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA AND HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION. I'M DISMAYED BY HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM AND SPECIFICALLY TO MY COMPLAINT WITH A 'SORRY'. I'M NOW EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN WHICH I'VE NEVER HAD UNTIL DRIVING THIS CAR AROUND FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. *KB

HOW COULD A COMPANY MAKE A NEW CAR AND PUT SUCH HORRIBLE SEATS IN THEM. THE BACK SEAT RIDE BETTER THAN THE FRONT SEAT.NOW IF I COULD ONLY DRIVE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR MIGHT RUN WELL AND GET DECENT GAS MILEAGE BUT I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. IF THEY USED REAL PEOPLE RIDING IN THESE SEATS THEY WOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PLACING THEM IN THEIR CARS. HONDA PLEASE CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TT

DRIVER'S SEAT LUMBAR DESIGN CAUSING DRIVING SAFETY ISSUES NOTE: IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT FOR MALE DRIVERS VERSUS FEMALE DRIVERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME SO BAD THAT I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT PAST 1 HOUR ON THE ROAD; IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. WHY IS THIS SO? BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S LUMBAR IS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED. ...MY STATEMENT COMES FROM EXPERIENCE OF PERSONALLY HAVING SEVERAL VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS IN ADDITION TO DRIVING RENTAL VEHICLES ON A VERY FREQUENT BASIS (I TYPICALLY PLACE MORE MILES ON RENTAL VEHICLES THAN MY PERSONAL VEHICLES) ' AND I REALLY DO ENJOY DRIVING VEHICLES ON LONG TRIPS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE I LITERALLY GET A 'PAIN IN THE BACK'. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS WITH NO SUCCESS. THE LUMBAR AREA BECOMES VERY PAINFUL WHERE IT FORCES ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO REST THE BACK. IF I DO NOT DO THIS I BECOME IRRITABLE (DOESN'T GO OVER WELL WITH MY SPOUSE OR THE FAMILY) AND STARTS IMPACTING MY DRIVING ABILITY. I HAVE TAKEN MEASURES TO WEAR A FLEXIBLE BACK BRACE THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL COMFORT, BUT THAT ONLY LASTED ANOTHER HOUR PRIOR TO THE 'PAIN IN THE BACK' RETURNING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE (& I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED OR RENTED) I HAVE COMMUNICATED TO MY WIFE (IT IS HER VEHICLE) THAT I WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE ACCORD EX-L EXCEPT ON SHORT TRIPS (LESS THAN 60 MINUTES). THE PHYSICAL PAIN (LEGS, BACK, HIP, ETC.) THE SEAT CAUSES IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS RESOLVED PRIOR TO MY GIVING IT ANOTHER CHANCE. I HAVE DONE SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH SINCE THE PURCHASE LOOKING FOR FIXES, ETC. INCLUDING INQUIRING WITH DEALERSHIP AND SPEAKING WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO ASSISTANCE. THE LAST RESULT FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THE ENGINEER DID ALSO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT PROCEED FURTHER AS HONDA DID NOT HAVE A 'TECH NOTE' ON THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE (THE 800 #) AGAIN ON FRIDAY ABOUT THIS WITH LITTLE SUCCESS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

AFTER 9 YEARS OF PERFECT SATISFACTION WITH A 2001 HONDA ACCORD,I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD ON 08/2010. LOUD WHINING NOISE STARTED AFTER APPROX. 1000 MILES OF DRIVING. HEARD WHINE, LOUD AND CONSISTENT ON STARTUP AND THE WHINE INTENSIFIES AS THE ENGINE WARMS WITH DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP ON MY THIRD TRIP TO HONDA SERVICE.NOISE CONTINUES EVEN LOUDER WITH NEW PUMP. A RETURN TRIP TO HONDA DEALER I WAS TOLD IT IS A NOISE CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL. THE NERVE RACKING WHINE IS DEADENED ONLY WITH THE RADIO VOL. TURNED UP. TWO OTHER PROBLEMS CREATE VERY STRESSFUL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE HEAD REST EXTEND TOO MUCH FORWARD CREATING SEVERE NECK STRAIN AND THE STIFF FEEL IN THE SEATS REQUIRE CONSTANT SHIFTING OF POSITION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE NOR RECOMMEND A HONDA TO ANYONE. MY MAIN CONCERN NOW: IS THIS WHINE AN INDICATOR FOR AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR FOR A MORE SERIOUS MECHANICAL PROBLEM? *TR
