“The front passenger seat is very low to a point where a deployed air bag Will hit the passenger in the face, hinders ability to breathe and cause injuries to the face, I took the vehicle to our local Honda Dealer to correct the problem because the car still under manufacture warranty the dealer didn’t even acknowledge the issue”
NHTSA complaint #11710964, filed 2026-01“There is a major design issue with the two front seats on this vehicle in that they are too low. I am five feet four inches tall and my wife is five feet two inches tall and I can barely see over the driver's side front windscreen having adjusted the seat to it's maximum height. The passenger seat has no adjustable lever as a result my wife can see anything outside in the front of the vehicle. This is a major design and safety issue and it has to be addressed by Honda. I've also been following the Honda Accord forums and many people have the same issue. …”

Took 3 min to start up after restarting the car. No error codes just major lag and delay. Car was updated to the most current update and no new updates were available at the moment. Bluetooth also has a hard time connecting to mobile devices. Engine makes weird sound when accelerating on the highway in eco mode. Sometimes feels like misfires when accelerating. …”
