The head restraints cause back pain and injury because they are so far forward. When we confronted Honda about these, they said they are required by you to make them miserable and uncomfortable. Are there any car manufacturers that have found a way around this regulation? Maybe cars manufactured before the regulation took effect? Can you reconsider that maybe this regulation is written to cause more injury than assistance and rescind it or revise it to allow manufacturers to fix YOUR problem?

Bought the honda accord in november, 2012. I am the only driver. Car has approximately 14,000 miles on it and the seat motor has failed. It makes noise. Seat cannot be properly adjusted by motor. Others have complained and said seat could collapse down and that is dangerous. This is a costly repair involving replacing entire front seat.

The vehicle was stationary. The drivers side seat back was moved forward to allow access to the back seat. Then the drivers side seat back would not lock in an upright position. With no seat back in its upright position, it was near impossible to drive. I took it to a honda dealership. The weld on the seat frame that allowed the back to be locked in its upright position was broken. The dealer replaced the broken seat frame. He frame cost $1320 and labor was $409.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving various speeds, the contact attempted to elevate the front driver's seat. The seat made a clicking noise and failed to elevate. Whenever the seat was elevated, it would fall out of position, which made it difficult for the contact to drive. In addition, the front driver's side window failed to close completely. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified about the failures and opened case number: 08428126. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.

Accord v6 coupe bought new (and spotless) and never in accident, 33,000 miles and 47 months old- car was parked in the parking lot and when I returned to the car the driver's seat back was completely flaccid. The driver's seat was essentially in the full reclined position resting against the backseat. It could be moved up and down easily to the touch with absolutely no locking mechanism (ie if it wasn't being manually held up it would fall back). I took it into the honda dealer and they said that "the seat frame had failed." I called honda to tell them and, given that it is not under warranty, will call me back if they will cover it. Again, driver's seat frame failed and seatback completely flaccid and can offer no back support.

The head restraint causes serious neck pain. The seat design is improper and does not allow for comfortable seating. My legs go numb which can lead to invalid response in braking. Stiff neck pain can cause me to miss blind spots or have reaction time neccessary to avoid dangerous collisions. These seats have not been corrected and should be replaced immediately. Multiple positions do not help. Driving for extended amount of time cause neck to leg pain.
