2010 Honda Accord Seats Problems

Your driver's seat frame has developed a vertical tear in the upholstery, exposing a sharp metal bar underneath. This sharp edge could pose a safety hazard in the event of an accident. The seat frame or upholstery will likely need to be repaired or replaced to cover the exposed metal.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY A SECOND VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH THE DRIVER SUFFERED A SEVERE LOW BACK INJURY WHEN A METAL OBJECT INSIDE THE SEAT PROTRUDED MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVERS LOWER BACK REGION. THE INJURY REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

BAD SEAT DESIGN. CAUSING BACK PAIN. HELL FOR LONG COMMUTE. NEED TO RECALL.

I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER TO REPORT A PROBLEM DUE TO CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND TO GET MY CAR CHECKED WITH A RECALL NOTICE . THEY TOLD ME I WILL CHARGED TO SEE WHETHER MY IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD MY CHECK ENGINE PROBLEM CANNOT BE CHECKED OUT SINCE MY MFG WARRANTY EXPIRED SINCE IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 6 YRS FROM THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURED DATE AND NOT THE SOLD DATE . I BOUGHT MY CAR 2011 SO MY WARRANTY IS STILL VALID , BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY ARE GOING BY MFG DATE AND SOLD DATE.

THE ANGLE OF THE HEADREST CAUSES MY HEAD TO LOOK DOWN. I CANT SIT STRAIGHT!!!!!!!! IT CAUSES NECK AND BACK PAIN ON LONGER TRIPS!!!!!!

INCREDIBLE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. WITH IN 30 MIN OF DRIVING, MY LOWER BACK, BOTTOM, NECK, THIGHS AND TOES, GET SO SORE, I HAVE TO STOP, WALK AND STRETCH FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE. I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING DRIVES LONGER THAN 30 MIN, BUT SOMETIMES TRAFFIC EXISTS AND IT IS NOT EASY TO ACCOMPLISH. I HAVE REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS A SHAME AS I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT... *TR

THE SEATS ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE THEY ARE CAUSING NECK, BACK AND LEG PAIN. I HAVE TO HAVE THE SEAT LEANING WAY BACK IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR. IF I PLACE IN AN UPRIGHT ALERT POSITION THE HEADREST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. *TR

SEATS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE. *TR

THE HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE FRONT SEATS HAD TO BE REMOVED AS THEY CAUSED BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS SIGNIFICANT NECK PAIN. THEY FORCED OUR HEADS DOWN INTO OUR CHESTS. I CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATE/REPLACEMENT HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT ARE MORE UPRIGHT. *JS

THE HEAD REST/HEAD RESTRAINT IS IN SUCH A POSITION AS TO CAUSE AWFUL NECK ACHE!!! I PUT THE SEATBACK BACKWARD TO GIVE MY HEAD MORE ROOM AND I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A LAWN CHAIR OR LAZY BOY. IF I PUT THE SEATBACK IN UPRIGHT, ALERT, HEALTHY POSITION AND THE ST*&@D HEAD REST MAKES ME LEAN MY HEAD FORWARD AND MAKES MY NECK ACHE! IT'S AWFUL! DID I SAY MY NECK IS STIFF AND ACHES. *TR

THE VEHICLE SEAT OFFER NO COMFORT OR SUPPORT, BUT ACTUALLY INFLICT SEVERE AND IMMEDIATE BACK AND HIP PAIN. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ONLY 15 MILES IN THE INTERSTATE, I HAD BACK PAIN FOR 2 DAYS. I DON'T WANT TO GET IN MY OWN CAR I JUST PURCHASED. I WANT TO TAKE IT BACK. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED? HOW CAR A VEHICLE THAT CAUSES INJURY CONTINUE TO BE SOLD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE A FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A REPAIR. I WANT MY MONEY AND MY HEALTH BACK! *TR

I STARTED NOTICING RIGHT LEG PAIN/NUMBNESS WHILE DRIVING MY ,NEW TO ME, 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I THOUGHT I JUST DIDN'T HAVE MY SEAT ADJUSTED PROPERLY. THE PAIN BECAME MUCH WORSE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, AFFECTING BOTH LEGS AND LEFT HIP, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL JUST ME UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT. THE REAL PAIN BEGAN AFTER A 3 HOUR TRIP. THE PAIN WAS SO SEVERE THE NEXT MORNING THAT I COULD BARELY WALK AND COULDN'T GET OUT OF PAIN. MY DOCTOR ORDERED AN X-RAY AND THEN A BONE SCAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FRACTURE. THE TESTS SHOWED A CONDITION CALLED SPONDYLOLISTHESIS WHERE THE L4 VERTEBRA WAS PUSHED FORWARD ON THE L5 VERTEBRA CAUSING AN IMPINGEMENT OF THE NERVES THAT SUPPLY THE LEGS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE(AT A GREAT LOSS TO ME). I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE. I'VE BEEN TO A DOCTOR, A SPINAL SPECIALIST AND AM STILL GETTING PHYSICAL THERAPY TO ADDRESS THE PAIN AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN 2 MONTHS. I KNOW THE SEAT CAN BE TAKEN APART AND PLATES REMOVED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE IT BUT THAT DISABLES THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR. THESE SEATS WOULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO ME IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH A CAR SEAT BEFORE. THESE SEATS ARE NOT JUST UNCOMFORTABLE THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER AND WOULD ONLY CONSIDER BUYING A HONDA. THE SEATS IN MY OTHER HONDAS WERE WONDERFUL. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA WON'T FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE FRONT SEATS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BACK PAIN. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS VERY VERY BAD SEAT DESIGN. BECAUSE OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO GO TO DOCTOR ALMOST EVERY WEEK. MY BACK HAS BECOME ALL WEAK AND I HAVE DEVELOPED SLIGHT WING SCAPULA BECAUSE OF THIS . I REQUEST HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. NECK AND BACK PAIN. OTHER PEOPLE HAS COMPLAINED AS WELL. CANNOT STAND DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES; AFTER THAT I HAVE PAIN, I MA TIRED AND GRUMPY. *TR

I NEVER HAD BACK PAIN. I NOW HAVE BACK PAIN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK. IT FELT LIKE A SOLID PIECE OF WOOD OR A BRICK WAS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT THAT IS COMFORTABLE. IT TURNS OUT THE NEW DESIGN FOR THE HEADREST TO PUSH FORWARD IN A REAREND CRASH HAS INCLUDED A BIG PLASTIC PANEL HELD ON BY 2 METAL BARS LOCATED IN THE SEAT JUST BEHIND THE CUSHION (I REMOVED SEAT BACK TO SEE THIS). THIS BARS ATTACHED TO THE PLASTIC PULLS THE HEADREST FORWARD IF YOUR BACK IS PUSHED AGAINST THE SEAT. THE LUMBAR IS ALSO ATTACHED TO THIS PLASTIC. IF YOU SIT IN THE SEAT AND PULL THE HEADREST FORWARD YOU CAN FEEL THE LUMP GO AWAY FOR THE MOST PART. REMOVING THE PLASTIC IS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE THE SEAT COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER THAT DISABLES THE SAFETY FEATURE SO I CAN'T DO THAT PERMANENTLY. HOWEVER THAT SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC IN THE SEAT BACK IS THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 6/26/12 *CN *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE AND HAD NO PADDING IN THE SEAT. THE CONTACT WAS IN CHRONIC PAIN DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO HAD TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT SEAT FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPLACEMENT SEAT WAS INSTALLED BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CHANGES IN THE SEAT POSITION, AS THE PAIN CONTINUED ON HER RIGHT SIDE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I HAD A 2008 ACCORD, WHICH SEATING WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. I TRADE FOR A 2010 WITH ALL THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND LEATHER SEATS (SAME AS 2008), BUT HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE LACK OF COMFORT, LACK OF ADJUSTABLE TO SUPPORT THE BACK AND LEGS. 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

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE FRONT SEATS ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE THEY MAKES ME TENSE KNOW I HAVE TO GET BACK IN IT. AFTER RIDING FOR A SHORT DISTANCES MY NECK AND BACK HURT. 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

THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD HEADRESTS LEAN FORWARD AT SUCH AN EXTREME ANGLE THAT THEY CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DRIVERS ENOUGH DISCOMFORT THAT THEY (MYSELF INCLUDED) FREQUENTLY MODIFY OR REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY, NULLIFYING ANY SAFETY GAINS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REALIZED WITH A FORWARD-LEANING DESIGN. NHTSA STANDARDS SHOULD REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO ALLOW DRIVERS TO ADJUST THE HEADRESTS TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION TO AVOID DRIVERS MODIFYING OR REMOVING THEM ENTIRELY. *TR

HAVING OWNED 6 HONDAS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I CAN ONLY DRIVE IT FOR SHORT DISTANCES OTHERWISE I GET BACKACHES AND ALSO BOTHERS MY HIP. *KB

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

FIRST TIME I TOOK MY HONDA ACCORD ON A TRIP WAS JANUARY 2010, FROM IDAHO TO L.A. AND BACK. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, I HAD SUCH A PROBLEM WITH MY RIGHT LEG THAT I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO REPAIR A KNOT BEHIND MY KNEE. THIS CAR HAS THE WORST FRONT SEAT OF ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I TOO CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA, A COMPANY I HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED, WOULD NOT FIX THIS OBVIOUS FLAW IN DESIGN. I CANNOT TAKE THIS CAR ON ANOTHER TRIP. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT ON 2010 HONDA ACCORD CAUSES SEVERE BACK AND NECK PAIN AFTER 15 MINUTES IN THE SEAT. *LN

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE EXTREMELY HARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE. THERE'S A HARD PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT RUNS THE WIDTH OF THE SEAT THAT DIGS INTO THIGHS/BUTTOCKS AND CAUSES CHRONIC HIP/BACK PAIN AND SOMETIMES NUMBNESS. THE SEATS ARE ALSO TOO LONG WHICH CAUSES THE FRONT OF THE SEAT TO DIG INTO THE BACK OF KNEES. THE HEADREST PUSHES HEAD/NECK FORWARD IN AN AWKWARD POSITION WHICH ALSO CAUSES NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE TO REMEDY THESE PAINS AND DISCOMFORT. JUST DRIVING OR RIDING FOR SHORT DISTANCES CAUSE THIS DISCOMFORT/PAIN. NOW, AFTER 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING THE CAR, THE BACK/HIP PAIN FOR ME AND MY 16 YR OLD SON IS DEEMED CHRONIC AND THERE IS REALLY NO RELIEF OTHER THAN NOT DRIVE OR RIDE IN THE CAR AND WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CAR. HONDA SHOULD COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND AT LEAST OFFER AN AFFORDABLE FIX. NUMBNESS AND PAIN OF THIS SORT FOR DRIVERS IS DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXL. THE DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS BY MAKING THE DRIVER SQUIRM AROUND IN THE SEAT ON LONG DRIVES. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A INFLATABLE LUMBAR SUPPORT, BUT A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT DIGS INTO THE DRIVERS BACK. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SQUIRM AROUND ON LONG DRIVES TO TRY AND GET COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO GET THERE. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT FEELS LIKE A BRICK IN THE DRIVERS BACK MAKING IT HARD TO FOCUS ON DRIVING. I'VE HEARD OF OWNERS REMOVING FROM THE DRIVER SEAT, THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND THEN REMOVING THE CHEAP PIECE OF LUMBAR SUPPORT PLASTIC TO GET THE BRICK FEELING OUT OF THERE BACK. I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS BUT WANT TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE THIS IS HAPPENING. BESIDE THE SEAT PROBLEM THE ACCORD IS A GOOD CAR, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE A NHTSA INVESTIGATOR RENT A 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXL AND DRIVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN TAKE IT ON A LONG TRIP. SEE HOW YOUR BACK FEELS THEN.

THE FRONT SEATS ARE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE FRONT OF THE SEAT DOESN'T ADJUST DOWNWARD ENOUGH AND HITS THE WRONG PRESSURE POINTS UNDER THE THIGH, THUS CUTTING OFF CIRCULATION IN THE LEG. THE SEAT IS ALSO TOO LONG AND HITS AT THE BACK OF THE KNEE RIGHT WHERE YOUR LEG BENDS. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HITS AND PRESSES AGAINST THE LEG RIGHT WHERE THE LEG/HIP BENDS. THIS TOO CUTS OFF CIRCULATION TO THE LEG AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO WALK WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING BOTH LEG, HIP AND BACK PAIN SHORTLY AFTER GETTING MY NEW CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM SINCE I'M IN THE CAR FOR A VERY LONG TIME PERIOD ON A DAILY BASIS.

2010 HONDA ACCORD LX, DRIVER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. LOWER LUMBER REGION OF SEAT HAS A HARD PIECE OF PLASTIC PROTRUDING INTO THE LOWER CUSHION OF THE SEATBACK. CAUSING LOWER BACK PAIN. *TR

HEADREST COMPLAINTS. TRYING TO BUY A NEW ACCORD 2010 OR 2011. HEADRESTS FORCE THE NECK INTO AN UNCOMFORTABLE FORWARD POSITION. 2005 ACCORD WAS PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE BUT HAS BEEN TOTALLED AND TRYING TO GET A NEWER CAR BUT IT SEEMS ALL THE HEADRESTS HAVE THAT FORWARD THRUST. *TR

SEATS IN 2010 HONDA ACCORD ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THEY ARE HARD AND CAUSE DRIVER TO MOVE SEAT TO REMAIN COMFORTABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD RESTRAINT. THE HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHED THE TOP OF HER HEAD THREE INCHES FROM THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED HER THAT WAS THE DESIGN AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED THE HEAD RESTRAINT WITH ONE FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188.

VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS ARE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. NEED TO USE CUSHION OR PADDING TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEATS ARE SO BAD MY BACK HURTS ALL THE TIME NOW, THE LUMBAR JAMS IN TO MY LOWER BACK AND THE HEADREST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU FIND OUT AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING AND THEN IT'S TO LATE THE DEALERS GOT YOU AND WHEN YOU COMPLAIN THEY TRY AND UPSALE YOU WITH A HUGE LOSS ON YOUR NEW CAR OR YOU GET SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I STARTED TO DRIVE MY 1996 EXPLORER TO RELIEVE MY BACK PAIN AND LET MY NEW HONDA SIT IN THE GARAGE. SO MUCH FOR SAVING FUEL, AND NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON TOP OF IT. *TR

DRIVER SEATBACK: TOO MUCH OUTWARD ARCH RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT THAT DIGS INTO DRIVER'S BACK. SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO DISCOMFORT AND PHYSICAL PAIN DURING A MID TO LONG DRIVING RANGE AND THE DISTRACTIONS IT CREATES. *TR

THE SEATS ON THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL WHICH I JUST PURCHASED NEW ARE SO CONSTRUCTED THAT AFTER DRIVING IT I HAVE HAD TO CONSULT MY DOCTOR AND RECEIVE EXTENSIVE TREATMENT FROM A PHYSICAL THERAPIST! I HAVE A 2001 HONDA AND JUST SOLD MY 1988 HONDA AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS SEAT DEFECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER: I CAN'T DRIVE OR RIDE IN THE CAR. A SEARCH ONLINE DISCLOSES THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FROM THESE BADLY DESIGNED SEATS. *TR
