“Broken seat frame brackets/rails/hinges leaving driver to seat in reclining position, preventing the driver to brake and apply necessary pressure to stop safely and prevent an accident. I was driving and was involved in a minor accident. I noticed that I couldn't apply the necessary pressure to stop the car safely because the driver's seat was moving preventing me from applying the necessary pressure on the brakes”
NHTSA complaint #11222238, filed 2019-06, 197,000 miles“Tuesday, january 26th, 2016, approx.9:45pm, my wife and I were traveling home from new jersey back to new york through highly populated traffic and pedestrian zones. Our 2007 Honda Accord 4cyl, sedan with 59,700 miles came to a stop while traveling approx 20mph as we passed an intersection due to driver side curtain and seat deploying without cause. No other vehicle/pedestrian was involved, fortunately, and no damage was done to our vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10822759, filed 2016-01, 59,700 miles“On a six hour vacation trip, I began to experience acute middle back pain. I had begun a new job about a year prior to this trip, in which I made commutes of about 1 hr. And 15 minutes round-trip on 4-5 days a week. I had noticed over the course of my new commute that my car seat became increasingly uncomfortable. However, while on this long six hour trip, about 3 hours into the trip I began to feel severe back pain. I don't think we had taken a rest break by this point in the trip. …”
NHTSA complaint #10497654, filed 2013-02, 120,000 miles“The driver seat to the 2007 Honda Accord is incredibly uncomfortable. I believe it causes poor posture and occupational injuries when I drive the car consistently on my daily commute. I commute a daily round trip of 1.5 hours. In 2012 I noticed how uncomfortable the seat was becoming. I could not find a good posture, and ultimately was diagnosed with myofascial trigger points with comorbid spinal pain as a result of driving in the car. I am not overweight, very slim actually. I have no other pre-existing conditions. …”
NHTSA complaint #10695165, filed 2015-03, 70,000 miles“My drivers seat moves back and forth when braking/applying gas pedal. This is a huge safety concern. I almost on several occasions hit the car in front of me because of this constant motion when driving. My mechanic does not know how to fix this problem and he also consulted a Honda dealership and they could not help. Very unhappy with Honda. Seems they're disconcerned with this important safety issue. My two kids are now banned from driving my car until we get another car. I love Honda's but I refuse to put up with this. I'm currently looking at other car manufacturers.”
