    Headrest complaints. Trying to buy a new accord 2010 or 2011. Headrests force the neck into an uncomfortable forward position. 2005 accord was perfectly comfortable but has been totalled and trying to get a newer car but it seems all the headrests have that forward thrust. *tr

    I have a 2010 honda accord exl. The driver seat is very uncomfortable and could possibly cause accidents by making the driver squirm around in the seat on long drives. Honda does not have a inflatable lumbar support, but a cheap piece of plastic that digs into the drivers back. This causes the driver to have to constantly squirm around on long drives to try and get comfortable enough to get there. The lumbar support…

    Front driver and passenger seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable. There's a hard piece of plastic that runs the width of the seat that digs into thighs/buttocks and causes chronic hip/back pain and sometimes numbness. The seats are also too long which causes the front of the seat to dig into the back of knees. The headrest pushes head/neck forward in an awkward position which also causes neck and shoulder pain.…

    The head rest/head restraint is in such a position as to cause awful neck ache!!! I put the seatback backward to give my head more room and i feel like i'm in a lawn chair or lazy boy. If i put the seatback in upright, alert, healthy position and the st*&@d head rest makes me lean my head forward and makes my neck ache! It's awful! Did i say my neck is stiff and aches. *tr

    My 2010 honda accord seats are so bad my back hurts all the time now, the lumbar jams in to my lower back and the headrest pushes my head forward. This is something that you find out after a few days of driving and then it's to late the dealers got you and when you complain they try and upsale you with a huge loss on your new car or you get sorry about your luck we've never heard of this. I started to drive my 1996…

    The seats on the 2010 honda accord ex 4cyl which i just purchased new are so constructed that after driving it i have had to consult my doctor and receive extensive treatment from a physical therapist! I have a 2001 honda and just sold my 1988 honda and they did not have this seat defect. This is a serious matter: i can't drive or ride in the car. A search online discloses that many people have suffered from these…

    Driver seatback: too much outward arch right in the center of it that digs into driver's back. Safety hazard due to discomfort and physical pain during a mid to long driving range and the distractions it creates. *tr

    I leased a new 2010 accord ex 4-cyl. On the drive home from the dealer i noticed the seat was not to my liking and tried to adjust it to no avail. The discomfort caused by the lumbar support in the active restraint system in the front driver's seat is intolerable. As others have noted, it is very noticeable on long drives over an hour and may cause a safety issue by the distraction it creates due to constantly…
