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…

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…

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.

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…

Takata recall honda usa does not honor the nhtsa 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 nhtsa 16v-056 recall is to replace the ecu unit, so no corrosion will…

I have had it with this car. And i have had it with honda. We purchased this car around february of 2013, and it didn't take me a week to start feeling this sharp pain in my back. It was at that time that i realized that the driver and passenger seat had both been manufactured in such a way that causes my back to feel extremely uncomfortable and painful. The only way i can describe the issue is that the seats have…

When i test drove the vehicle, it seemed comfortable enough. It wasn't until a [redacted] trip a few months later that i realized how uncomfortable the front seats are. With the non-adjustable forward angle of the head restraints, nothing from the middle of my back to the top of my head touched the seat. Over time, this resulted in chronic neck and upper back pain that i attempted to relieve with chiropractor and…

I have a 2008 honda accord i use for a 156 miles daily commute. At around 48,000 miles, part of the seat frame had cut through the padding and the seat cover. I noticed the edge was unfinished and rather sharp. I informed honda customer service and they agreed to share the cost of correcting the defect and replacing the damage material. I am very concerned that this could be a safety hazard if the airbags are…

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. After the contact entered the vehicle, the lumbar support pushed on her lower back in a very firm manner. It caused her legs to feel numb. She thought that she would get used to the issue; however, she did not. The contact had to visit the chiropractor because the seat threw her back out (direct relationship between the seat and her condition). She also felt that the driver's…

My complaint regards the design of the driver seat in my 2008 honda accord ex. The seat has what is called an "active head restraint" where the headrest is mechanically linked to a plate in the seat back. The plate in the seat back produces an excessive amount of lumbar support, even with the power lumbar control completely disengaged. In any seating position, the majority of the pressure is concentrated on my lower…
