The foam covering the metal frame on the driver's back rest has either shifted or is so thin that is has worn through and that allows direct contact between the driver's back and the metal frame. in the event of a crash, i feel that the direct contact of the metal seat frame will result in injury or increased injury to the driver.
The driver seat in my 2012 honda accord is so uncomfortable that i now have to seek medical attention for my neck shoulder lower back and leg pain. i bought the car used a couple of years ago and try to take it back 2 days later but i cannot afford to buy another car i owned a saturn for 16 years and never had a problem like this i was sitting on 3 inches of foam rubber for my back and the bottom of the seat but the pain still persists. now i sit on pillows and that is no longer helping but i also put my left foot on the seat or up on the dashboard to relieve my lower back. i know it is the car as i have used other people's cars and while i still get pain it is not as severe as when i am in my honda for at least 20 minutes. driving to see family 75 miles away i have to take two breaks. the pain i have persist when i am out of the car but it is not as severe as it is ...
Most uncomfortable car seat ever makes your lower back hurt and legs go numb
I purchased this honda accord as a certified used vehicle from a honda dealer about 2 months ago. i haven't driven the vehicle very much, consequently the problem didn't become very apparent until yesterday. the lumbar support causes severe back pain. i tried adjusting the lumbar but even at the lowest available setting the thing simply rams into your lower back. this problem isn't noticeable during a test drive of 5-10 minutes. it becomes very apparent after about 30-40 minutes. i've been out of the vehicle for 18 hours and still have discomfort in the area where the lumbar support contacts my back. this may cause permanent injury! hopefully, honda will rectify this obvious problem for the numerous unfortunate purchasers of this expensive vehicle!
Drivers seat felt like metal was pushing through it, causing discomfort when i sat; worse when getting in/out of the car. i did not own car 3 years but mileage past warranty. honda said they would replace seat as a "goodwill gesture". repiair done by honda dealer, made the problem worse. i called immediately. although the estimate i received to fix the seat included replacing the entire cushion and cover, when the dealer did it they said they had only replaced the cover. i had to bring it back and they replaced the cushion; problem was worse. something presses up through the seat and something is digging into my back. i brought it back, dealer said they don't feel the problem. i called honda, they said bring it back when regional manager was there. brought back so regional manager could look at it, he said he doesn't feel the problem. they all tell me that that is how the seats are made. the seat feels like there is metal pressing up into me and when i turn to get in and out of the car it is worse. there is also a problem with the back part of the ...
I bought the 2012 honda accord in dec 2011 for my wife. the car overall has performed well with no major problems. my wife has complained about uncomfortable seats since we bought it. i too noticed it when i drove for distances over 30 minutes. last year, 2014, i finally bought my wife a new car and the honda became my hand me down. i have been miserable in this car. the seat design causes pain in my legs, especially my left leg. it also causes me lower back pain. no amount of seat adjustment relieves the pain so i avoid driving it long distances. after driving home on my last day of work (i'm now temporarily out on doctors orders), the seat was especially uncomfortable to me. i had to go to urgent care that evening. eventually i found out i had two herniated disks. my trips to the doctor and physical therapy are now miserable with this car but fine in my wife's car. i can't say the honda accord caused the problem but it sure didn't help it. from what i've read about the complaints on the honda accord ...
The front driver and front passenger seats are uncomfortable to a point where it affects my driving ability. when i drove for two hours i needed to adjust my self in my seat multiple times causing me to not focus on the road. after the two hour drive i had bad lower back pain. *tr
The front seating is so uncomfortable that is causes back and neck pain, and i fear if the car was involved in an accident the head rest, which is pointed so far forward as to cause neck pain if the person uses the seat in a straighter position. the lumbar support causes me back pain because i cannot adjust it out. it hits me in a bad place in the back and causes back pain. i am an average height male (5'11").
There seems to be a flaw in the 2012 honda accord front driver and passenger seats that makes them so uncomfortable that it is actually painful. while this may seem to just be a superficial matter, i believe that it is serious because the discomfort is so bad that, while driving, the driver has to shift in the seat frequently to try to alleviate the discomfort. this creates a potential safety issue. moreover, after driving, the pain in my right leg and bottom is so bad that it can last for hours, if not days. i am concerned that the seats are causing permanent nerve or muscle damage. the injury may not be visible, but something bad is happening. the pain seems to be cumulative because it seems to be getting worse the longer that i drive this car. i thought that perhaps i was the only one who had this problem until i went on-line and discovered hundreds of similar complaints posted on several websites. on september 13, 2013 i brought the problem to my honda dealer when i took the ...
The drivers seats are very bad and cause back problems. i have developed server back aches after using this honda for the past 3 months. *tr
Drivers seat is not right . it is causing me back neck and leg pains . found myself adjusting it while driving in a 55 mls expressway and almost got involved in an accident . this has been happening quite often and now i try to move around or adjust the seat when its safe to do so. i think that honda american corp., and you people should look into this asap and have this problem recalled and fix. thank you . *tr
The seats and head rests has been poorly designed. it looks that these has been designed for men having a height of more than 6 feet. i have a standard height of 5'-9'. when i rest my head to the head rest, it touches only less than one cm to the head rest. i can not lower down the height of head rest because the back of the seat is too high. there is a big gap between neck and head rest. i have made a rough sketch of this situation but i don't know how to send it to you. the most dangerous aspect of this design is that if a speedy car or truck hits my car in the back, my head will stop with head rest and body will stop with back of seat but neck, having no support backward, will bent and may be broken and ultimately may cause of death. i faxed it in details to honda customer service, torrance, ca90501 on 12/3/12 with sketch and faxed three times every week. i also advised them to make an experiment: have a dummy of man made of broken glass, seat it in the ...
Front driver seat is causing neck,back and hip pain after driving 10-15 minutes, adjusting seat does not help. i took vehicle back to dealership, they inspected seat and said there is no problem, i told them there is a problem because no matter who drives the car everyone experiences the same pain. i googled "accord seat problem" and found that there are several websites and hundreds of people having the same issue. for a company that makes such great cars i never expected to have a problem with a seat, i hope they value their customers and fix the problem. *tr

A month after purchasing this vechile, i noticed back pain. every tiem i got into the car, i tried to repostion the seats to get comfortable. however, i was unsuccessful every time. i tried even adding a pad between the seat and my back and behind to make it more comfortable. all i find myself doing is moving and repositioning at stop lights or red lights on my hour drive to and from work. i am never comfortable in the car. my heead always feelings like its being pushed forward because of the head rest and my lower back feels like i am sitting in lower than the rest of me. i have gone to my doctor numerous times with back pains and neck pains. i know have to constantly sleep with a heating pad to relieve the soreness from this car. every other car i have ever owned i feel safe and experience no problems, except this one. *tr
