“The drivers seat trim has fallen off now for the 4th time. The last time I had it fixed it looked like it might stay in place. I am the only person that drives the car and do not move it from the position it is in. I believe it is really the seat that is the problem and no trim will ever stay put. It is a defect because others have had the same problem. Very upset. I believe Honda needs to be responsible and fix it for good”
NHTSA complaint #11046054, filed 2017-11, 30,000 miles“I have a Honda Accord coupe. The bar around the seat on the driver's side has broken for the fourth time in just over two years. It has been fixed three times but the dealer stated we were on our own the fourth time. One time when my husband took the car for the dealer to look at for repair, they fixed the car as another person did not show who had the same problem. It does fine if the seat is not moved but breaks when you put the seat up and down or up and back. The car was not moving.”
NHTSA complaint #10995456, filed 2017-06, 42,256 miles“I weigh approximately 130 pounds. And this is the second time this has happened to my car. The motor for the drivers seat started making weird rattling noises. The first time it happened was when I had about 1 year with my car. And since it was covered under warranty I took it in to the Honda dealer in redlands, ca. They 'fixed' it. And now 4 years later after that it's messed up again. Either the motors that control the seats are messed up. Or I'm definitely to heavy for my car seat to handle my whole 130 pounds. My husband occasionally drives my car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11325506, filed 2020-05, 47,000 miles“Long story short, I took the 2015 Honda Accord for a test drive and it seemed fine. The next day after driving quite a bit my lower back started burning. I couldn't adjust the seat to make it comfortable or stop the back pain. It felt like it cut off the circulation in my legs after just driving 30 miles. I couldn't take it back to the dealership but they paid for me to get a seat wedge for more cushion. That just put me higher in the seat and the lumbar at my tailbone. I have to drive a lot for my work and it's killing my lower back and neck. …”
NHTSA complaint #10965790, filed 2017-03, 5,500 miles“The seats are extremely uncomfortable in the 2015 Honda crv. The driver side in particular is very firm and hits pressure points in the legs, no matter how the seat is adjusted. Driving this vehicle for more than 1/2 an hour caused pain in my sciatic nerve, with the pain radiating down my leg and up into my low back. I could not get comfortable on a 4 hour drive, despite trying every configuration of available seating adjustments. I purchased this vehicle a week and a half ago and have 30 days to return this car to carmax. I plan to do so because it is so uncomfortable to drive.”
