“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...”

NHTSA complaint #10497614, filed 2013-02, 10,500 miles“The head restraints for the front seats had to be removed as they caused both the driver and passengers significant neck pain.

NHTSA complaint #10616679, filed 2014-07, 11 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10960077, filed 2017-03, 45,000 miles“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!”
