2011 Honda Accord

DRIVERS SEAT CAUSES UNBEARABLE PAIN AND DAMAGE TO CERVICAL SPINE, LUMBAR SPINE AND LEGS. POOR DESIGN PLACES SPINE IN UNCOMFORTABLE AND DAMAGING POSITION AND CAUSES NUMBNESS AND NERVE DAMAGE TO MY LEGS. I AM IN SEVERE PAIN WHENEVER DRIVING CAR HONDA SHOULD REPLACE OR REPAIR SEATS OR COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR COST OF TRADING IN CAR. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DUE TO OVER PROTRUDING LUMBAR SUPPORT. TOOK CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT ADJUSTING THE SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO IT AND THIS IS MY ONLY OPTION. WAS TOLD THAT LUMBER ADJUSTMENT WAS AVAILABLE IN HIGHER TRIM MODEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BASIC FUNCTION AND DON'T SEE WHY I WOULD NEED TO BUY A TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE ADJUSTMENT AVAILABLE. IT IS SO BAD THAT IT IS ACTUALLY HURTING MY LOWER BACK WHEN I'M DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. *TR

THE FRONT SEATS IN THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. IT HAS CAUSED ME (AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ONLINE) TO HAVE SEVERE BACK PAIN. THE LOWER LUMBAR SUPPORT STICKS OUT WAY TO FAR AND CAUSES UNEVEN SUPPORT TO YOUR LOWER AND UPPER BACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD BACK ISSUES, BUT AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR A WEEK, I AM IN SERIOUS PAIN. SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? GO BUY EXPENSIVE AFTERMARKET PILLOWS THAT DON'T WORK? TRADE THE CAR BACK IN AND LOSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND ABSORB THE COST OF A CHIROPRACTOR? NORMALLY I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. JUST LOOK IT UP ONLINE. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP OR HONDA COULD GET SUED. THERE IS ENOUGH INFO OUT THERE AND UPSET CUSTOMERS TO CAUSE HONDA A HUGE LEGAL NIGHTMARE. *TR

SEATS IN 2011 HONDA ACCORD ARE UNBEARABLE ESPECIALLY PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER RIDING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BACK HURTS & REMAINS SORE AFTERWARDS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED(STILL UNDER WARRANTY), WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. ITS THE SEATS DESIGN & WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO TRY USING A PILLOW TO SIT IN A DIFFERENT POSITION. I DON'T THINK U SHOULD HAVE TO USE A PILLOW FOR COMFORT IN A $ 28000 CAR. *TR

BACK PAIN BEGINNING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. INITIALLY JUST IN CAR; EVENTUALLY BECAME CHRONIC. THIS LEAD TO CHIROPRACTOR CARE, PHYSIOLOGIST, X-RAY, MRI, SHOTS, PAIN MEDS AND LIKELY WILL INCLUDE SURGERY FOR 2 BULGING DISCS/SCIATICA. I HAVE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK, EXTENDING DOWN ONE LEG AND NUMBNESS IN MY FOOT AS WELL AS SPASMS. MY DOCTOR ADVISED ME TO SELL THIS CAR; BUT IT WILL BE AT CONSIDERABLE LOSS. I HAVE HAD TO GIVE UP DRIVING THIS CAR BUT SINCE MY PAIN IS CONSTANT; IT NO LONGER MATTERS WHAT I DRIVE. WE PURCHASED HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION FOR LONGEVITY; BUT WE DIDN'T COUNT ON HOW LIFE ALTERING THAT DECISION WOULD BE. *JS

I OWNED A 2003 ACCORD AND LOVED IT. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO GET A NEW CAR, I ONLY WANTED A NEW ACCORD. I DIDN'T EVEN TEST DRIVE IT. WHAT A MISTAKE! FOR THE FIRST WEEK, EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR I TRIED TO READJUST THE SEAT TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE. NOTHING WORKED. I HAVE BEAUTIFUL LEATHER SEATS, BUT I SIT ON A WEDGE AND HAVE A LUMBAR PILLOW STUFFED BEHIND MY BACK. MY HIP AND BACK WERE THROWN OUT OF LINE TO THE POINT THAT 4 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I WAS USING A CANE. I NO LONGER USE THE CANE, BUT I NO LONGER TAKE THIS CAR FOR LONG DRIVES. THE SEATS CAUSE PAIN IN MY BACK, HIPS AND LEGS. IN MY 2003 ACCORD I WAS ABLE TO TIP THE SEAT SO MY KNEES WOULD RAISE UP OR DOWN. THE NEW "IMPROVED" SEATS DID AWAY WITH THAT FEATURE. IN ADDITION, THE HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND DOWN CAUSING NECK PAIN. MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER IS IN THE MARKET FOR A 4 DOOR CAR TO REPLACE HER 2 DOOR CAR. I OFFERED TO GIVE HER THE ACCORD AND PAY TO HAVE IT SHIPPED TO L.A. FOR HER. ON A RECENT TRIP HOME FOR A WEDDING, SHE DROVE THE CAR FOR HALF AN HOUR AND REFUSED THE GIFT. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BAD THE SEATS ARE TO TURN DOWN A 1 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT'S SO UNCOMFORTABLE?? HONDA HAS LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN SEVERAL TIMES, THEY MADE ME FEEL AS IF I WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD EVER COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY CURRENT ACCORD IS THE 4TH I'VE LEASED SINCE 2002. WHEN THE CAR HIT 1,000 MILES THE SPRINGS IN THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHION STARTED TO FEEL LIKE THEY WERE PUSHING UP THROUGH THE SEAT. THE LONGER I WAS IN THE CAR THE WORSE IT GOT. IT ACTUALLY BECAME PAINFUL TO DRIVE. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I SAW THAT I WAS NOT ALONE. MANY COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD BY THEIR DEALER THAT THE SEATS WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS AND NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. SADLY, MY DEALER TOLD ME THE SAME, ALTHOUGH THEY MADE AN "ADJUSTMENT" TO THE PROBLEM THAT DIDN'T EXIST AND REDUCED THE SEAT FROM PAINFUL TO JUST REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I'M 6'3". IF YOU SIT INTO THE BACK OF THE SEAT YOU WILL REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. HONDA IS IN DENIAL ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SEAT LUMBAR PAINFUL TO SIT IN FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME (NOW THAT MY BACK IS IN SPASM CREATED BY THE SEAT) DUE TO THE MISALIGNMENT AND OVER INFLATED LUMBAR SUPPORT BAG, EVEN WHEN COMPLETLEY DEFLATED. THIS IS CAUSING SIATICA AND LOWER LIMB NUMBNESS AND TINGLING RELATED TO SPINAL NERVE COMPRESSION. DRIVING IN A CONSTANT DISTRACTED MANNER DUE TO SEVERE PAIN AND NUMBNESS INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DISTRACTION. I WAS DISTRACTED :LAST NIGHT TRYING TO READJUST THE SEAT FOR THE 50,000TH TIME TO DECREASE THE PAIN, AND I ALMOST HIT A JAYWALKER! SO, I HAVE SEEN SO MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SEATS . WHY DON"T YOU DO ANYTHING TO HELP US? *TT

TL* THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, HE WOULD SUSTAIN INTENSE BACK PAIN AND NUMBNESS IN THE LEFT LEG WHICH WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESIGN OF FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONSTANT PROBLEM. THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45.
