There is a sharp metal edge that I assume is part of the internal seat frame that has sliced through the seat foam and the seat fabric on the driver's side seat and presses against the body of the driver. No injuries have occured yet, but I don't relish the thought of this being shoved into my shoulder blade if I were to get hit from behind.

I hear a grinding sound every time I brake. I saw that honda settle a class action lawsuit regarding replacing or reimbursing for brake pads that wore out twice as fast. But I called honda and they told me my car was not covered by this. I have a proximately 54,000 miles on my vehicle. Secondly, my vehicle vibrates or shakes a bit at higher speeds of 65 MPH and above on the highway. Not sure if this is a common problem or should be addressed by honda. Finally, I develop backaches due to the discomfort of the seats which I suspect are not correctly or ergonomically designed. After about 30 to 40 minutes of driving I experience lower back pain which I normally never have. This dissuades me from driving for much longer distances as I remain stiff and need to rest in order to recover from the back pain after driving the vehicle.

The front headrests are unbearably uncomfortable because they stick so far forward that they give you a neck ache. We had to turn ours around in order to be able to stand driving the car or being a passenger. Also, the power adjustable seat on the driver's side is designed so that you can't adjust the front of the seat low enough to take pressure off the back of your thighs. The seat padding also comes up too much on each side of your body causing hip pain. In order to try and be comfortable you have to try and put the seat back, but the back of the seat is poorly designed too. There's just no comfortable position with this seat!!!!!!! This seat needs to be recalled and another more comfortable one installed instead...both driver and passenger side. My 1999 accord has a super comfortable seat and head rest...why did they do such a bad thing in changing the design so drastically. I know I'm not the only one who is complaining about this..it's all over the internet. If I had known about this problem I wouldn't have bought the car, but only for that reason. Other than that, it's a really nice model. Somebody help me!!!

Takata recall, we bought this car for over 16,000 at gormleys automotive. After getting it home there were certain repairs that we needed asap. The car was definitely in a previous accident as we could see when the paint chipped that there was the original honda white underneath. The car has 3 recalls. Lights come on that do not make sense and even though we didn't receive a manual, I looked things up on the internet. The engine belt rumbles, the suspension is way off, the leather seats and sidearms have ripped because they were replaced by cheap parts. The car loan is for 331.00 monthly and still is owed a siginificant amount on. Steward financial harasses with phone calls if you are an hr late on a payment. Unacceptable. I am disabled and can barely make ends meet. I do not want to pay for a car that runs like a hoopdee when its supposed to run like a honda. Turning it does not grab the road, stationary the engine rumbles. I am a female so I do not know to much about cars. What I do know is that I cannot afford to have repairs done on a car with such a large amount owed on it.

"takata recall" honda USA does not honor the federal safety agency 16v‑056 (corrosion of the ecu unit) air bag recall. They said they would send a remedy letter in the fall of 2016. Never received the letter, and closed their recall campaign. They will not replace the ecu unit unless it's corroded to a point where a warning light comes on. The whole point of the federal safety agency 16v‑056 recall is to replace the ecu unit, so no corrosion will occur in the future. Honda USA refuses to replace the ecu unit. They bully their dealers not to replace it too. I have never encountered a business that is this deceiving in my life. I' m stuck without any pull or power to have them liable for this issue. Please ,I beg you , please help me the federal safety agency! There was a litigation that was settled in the past regarding premature wear on the rear brakes. They just replaced one set of rear brakes per litigation, but the actual defect was never addressed and never fixed. The defect is in their braking system . I'm still driving with defective braking, with extremely high anxiety. Honda USA deceived the federal safety agency and the customers again. Seats are so uncomfortable , it detracts attention away from driving safely on the road.

I visited the honda dealership in sterling, va a couple of months ago and had to get my brakes replaced. At that time I asked if they could fix my back driver's seat..(my daughter who is 10 got into the car one day and kicked the back seat by accident with her foot and it fell) I was told they could fix it and they could do it that day because they had the plastic clips in stock but it would cost an additional $197.00 (I can't remember exact amount) but I told them I was paying a lot of money already for replacing my brakes and I couldn't afford right now and told them I would be back. The guys tried to get the clip to hold (and I was very thankful) but as soon as I pulled out of the dealership it fell again. I was very happy with the service and there was one man in particular who was very helpful and I wished I had his name to tell you. So, I had an apt today at 9:15 and got there at early at 8:50. The guy finally came back to me about 10:30 or so and said they couldn't fix the back seat because the way this was built wasn't done properly and these this will just keep breaking. He said I would have to replace the seat back and the cost would be $335.00 plus tax and shop supplies. Really? I said then why wasn't I told this when I was here a couple of weeks ago. Why do I have to pay for something that is a defect in the first place? He said sorry I just fix the cars I don't make them. He was very nice a polite but I don't feel I should have to pay for this at all. I asked him .... Why didn't you tell me when I was here before and he replied because of my money restraints. That makes no sense!!! Why before you can just replace the plastic clips and now all of the sudden you have to replace the whole back panel. I don't know what is going on but I would like for someone to call me and talk to me about this situation. I am not a happy customer.

During a monsoon the passenger door was open and slammed shut by the wind. The passenger side airbag deployed while the vehicle was parked and turned off. The deployed airbag damaged the headliner and seat and misc other parts.
