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.

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
