When i was rear ended at a red light the drivers seat fell back wards and now the seat is not stable. It concerns me that the seat went back on its own upon impact.

The noise coming from the passenger side under the glove box when the air is on is annoying and pretty loud. The radio can't even conceal the sound at low volume. Likewise, the glove box isn't latched according to the lines of the dash (1 cm gap). The glove box moves and rattles. The seat also rattles and shakes when going over any surface whether highway or city streets... These noises are just too much. The car is…

The driver seat in my 2009 honda accord is horrible!!!!!!!!!! The active restraint is killing me. I plan on removing the safety device if it is not plugged into a sensor. It causes my to squirm around while driving effecting my driving. What a joke this is my first honda buying because of style and great history of reliability. Like everything else on the vehicle. Hope i can remove seat cover and bend something or…

Power driver side seat slips in track randomly. Feels like it is not locking in track as it should. Sometimes happens when adjusting seat. Other times will happen when braking. Occasionally can find spot in track where seat will constantly slip front to rear and back again. *tr

2009 honda accord driver's power seat "jumps" when moved forward and reverse (most notable on an incline). I had the dealer check it and i was told that this is 'normal' due to the mechanism design. A couple of weeks later, i had to brake hard to avoid a collision and the seat jerked forward noticeably as it slipped in the track mechanism. I feel that this is an unacceptable and unsafe defect that should be…

I have had upper back and neck pain for about 3 years now and could not figure out why. I've recently gone to a back pain specialist and found that my problem has been caused by my posture, mainly from the newer cars i've been driving the past couple years. I've now bought and sold several cars in the past 3 years thinking "i just need a larger more comfortable car" however that i not the case. The known fact that…

I have recently purchased a 2009 honda accord lx-premium and believe that the front seats are unsafe. I believe that the feature to move the headrest forward in the event of a rear-end collision puts the upper-back region of the seat too far forward, creating a very uncomfortable region with little lower-back support. I find that my lower-back aches after an hour of driving, and needed to lean up against the…

This complaint is regarding the seat rails for 2009 honda accord. Aside from the rails providing a bumpy adjustment via the power controls, the seat itself lunges forward and backward during braking and acceleration. This experience leads one to believe that the seat is not properly attached to the frame of the car which creates a dire safety concern. In the event of a crash, will the seat dislodge? *tr

The 2009 honda accord has a problem with the drivers side front head rest. I continually place the headrest in the down position however because of it's design, when i get into the car and my back makes contact with the back of the seat it also makes contact with the headrest causing the headrest to rise up to the highest position making it hard to look behind you when you back up. I had a minor, parking lot fender…

Honda accord 2009- driver side automatic seat adjustor/tracking system is malfunctioning. Every time we adjust our seat forwards or backwards it bumps hard several times. Honda service and honda corp said they are aware of the problem but have no fix. This car malfunction could potentially be a safety hazard. They are still selling these accords on their lots without any disclosure. *tr updated ivoq 10/22/10

In july of 2009 i purchased a 2009 honda accord ex-l sedan. From the beginning when adjusting the power driver seat, the movement of the seat forward and backward was rough (i.e. Wobbly). I took the vehicle into the dealership where i purchased it and they replaced the seat rails, but the problem remains though not as severe. Additionally the electrical controls for the heated front seats were not connected properly…

The driver seat is terrible, very bad. Need to file a class action law suit against honda for making such a car. I have spent lots of money in x-rays, mri, ct-scan of my low back and hip and am taking over 12 medicines a day. Still the pain is very bad when i am in the car. I think this is a way honda is making more money as i will be force to sell it at way less and take a loss on it and then buy a new car. I am…

The driver seat is very uncomfortable to drive. The seat design is kind of pushing and putting pressure particularly on the lower back and causing too much back pain even driven for less than 20 miles. The seat design is also causing neck pain. Did not complain till now because thought it was design issue rather than safety issue. When driven even for few hours (less than 2 hrs), causing a lot of back pain. The…

The mechanics of this car are great, the problem is the seat and how terribly uncomfortable it is and the tremendous amount of back pain it is causing. It is not safe to drive in this much pain because of poorly designed seats. I am putting in the date of incident as a month after car was purchase as the seat issue was noticed right away. *tr
