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. And he knows how irritated I get when my seats been moved so he doesn't do anything but move the seat back.

What 2015 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Seats are extremely uncomfortable and cause severe neck, back, and hip pain. The head rest forces your head forward and places strain on your neck and back. Adjusting lumbar does not help but rather causes pain in the legs and buttocks. Seat surfaces are flat and lack contour therefore the driver and passengers continually shift. Honda refuses to address the issue and has done nothing to help alleviate the issue. We have owned 5 honda automobiles and will no longer purchase honda vehicles as the quality and customer service has gone down hill.
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
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.
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.
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. I've tried numerous cushions, pads and back supports but nothing seems to make this seat work. I can't drive it without pain and am at a loss on what to do other than take a massive loss.
The seats, in particular the head restraints (headrests), are of a faulty design in that they are tilted too far forward for any kind of comfort and are not adjustable. Only if one drives while in a semi-reclined position is the headrest tolerable. Compared to a safer, more vertical driving position, this semi-reclined (approx 25 degrees from vertical) driving position hinders one's alertness and ability to see and react to all traffic situations; therefore this lack of headrest tilt or fore/aft adjustment is a serious safety issue for those people not ideally fitting the seat as designed. I have confirmed that my car is as it was designed and because I bought it new, I know it has not been altered at all. This type of maladjustment is not readily recognizable in a brief test drive.
Purchased car in may of 2015. Went on a 10 hour trip after owning 2 weeks, after a few hours it became obvious that it was impossible to attain a comfortable driving position. Seats pull back and neck, legs go to sleep. Upon arriving at our destination both drivers had headache and sore back and legs. Recently had car in shop for minor body shop repairs and was provided a rental car, dodge challenger, what a relief ! Great seats. Have had the car back now for 3 days and immediately felt back discomfort seriously considering getting rid of this car after eight months of misery! Major disappointment!
The 2015 honda accord driver and shotgun-passenger seats are extremely uncomfortable, especially the lack of lumbar support and the presence of terribly angled/designed headrests. After the driving the car for no more than 45 minutes, you will find that: 1. Your left leg is sleeping 2. Your neck and back are aching 3. Your head is angled forward in an abnormal fashion. This needs to be investigated. See further complaints at: http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2015/accessories-interior/extremely_uncomfortable_seats.shtml
Sciatic nerve pinching severely in right lower back after two months. Hit deer with car, toyota rav 4 rental car, problem went away. Now, car back, two weeks, problem returning. Keeps getting progressively worse, both times. Worried back will go out, not be able to work.
