Honda Accord Seats Safety Report | Sept 07, 2013
Reported on Sept 07, 2013
| SOON AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L W/NAV, I BEGAN TO SUFFER SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST THIS SEAT INTO A COMFORTABLE DRIVING POSITION. WITHIN 10 MINUTES, MY LEGS AND HIPS BEGIN TO GO NUMB. FATIGUE FORMS IN MY ARMS AND AN ACUTE TIGHTNESS FORMS AT THE ABSE OF MY SPINE. THE SEATS ARE PERFORATED MATTE LEATHER AND THEY GRIP YOU AND CREATE HOT SPOTS THAT CAUSE CONSTANT SHIFTING IN YOUR SEAT. IT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE, I MUST CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM FATIGUED AND IN LINGERING PAIN UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER ONLY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME. THEY OFFERED ME APPROXIMATELY $5,500 LESS THAN I SPENT ON THE PURCHASE ONE WEEK EARLIER (WITH 400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER). I REFUSED THEIR OFFER AS I AM UNABLE TO RECOUP THAT LOSS SO I MAY PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR. THEY ALSO CLAIM THEY HAD NEVER HEARD A COMPLAINT LIKE MINE. UNLIKELY, AS THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THIS PARTICULAR COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA AND MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS OF LATE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE AS DESIGNED. HONDA NEEDS TO CHANGE THE SEATS! *TR | |
