2011 Honda Accord Seats Problems

“The seats in my car I find to be horribly uncomfortable. I am not sure this site is appropriate for the compliant, but thought I would try. The headrest is not ergonomic at all, it pushes my head forward when I sit back. This causes literally a pain in my neck from strain, and simply a danger since the annoyance is a distraction from driving.”

“The active head restraints moved into the forward position for no apparent reason (I.e., there was no rear collision). It happened first with the driver's seat and separately, at some later point, with the front passenger's seat. The restraints were supposed to automatically move back to their normal position (according to the owner's manual), but that didn't happen - they remained locked in the forward position. I took the vehicle to schaumburg Honda in illinois and the technician said that the seat frames should be replaced. …”

“Seats in 2011 Honda Accord are unbearable especially passenger seat. After riding for a short period of time back hurts & remains sore afterwards. Took the car to dealership where purchased(still under warranty), was told nothing is wrong. Its the seats design & would not do anything about it. Service manager told me to try using a pillow to sit in a different position. I don't think u should have to use a pillow for comfort in a $ 28000 car.”

“Just purchased a 2011 Honda Accord. The drivers seat in this car causes you legs to go numb after about 30 miles (a definite safety issue). Since experiencing the problem I have found countless forums online with people experiencing the same thing, this problem has been going on since 2008 apparently and Honda has not addressed this issue. This seat should be recalled immediately. If having your feet fall asleep while driving isn't a safety issue I don't know what is.”

“The drivers side seat is very uncomfortable due to over protruding lumbar support. Took car into dealership to ask about adjusting the support and was told there was no way to do it and this is my only option. Was told that lumber adjustment was available in higher trim model. This seems to be a very basic function and don't see why I would need to buy a top of the line vehicle to have the adjustment available. It is so bad that it is actually hurting my lower back when I'm driving for extended periods of time.”
