My main issue with this vehicle is the seating, specifically the drivers seat. I can honestly say its the worst seating i've ever experienced in a vehicle. This is very surprising, especially since im talking about a 2012 honda accord! While the seat is relatively comfortable in short trips, any longer trips (greater than 30 minutes) plays havoc on my body. Im a male of average height (5 foot 10 inches) and weight…

I just bought a 2012 accord se and the driver's seat is beyond uncomfortable--it's causing both back pain and numbness down my right leg. I don't have any back problems and fear it will cause some serious problems. I've put 400 miles on this car. I hate to be in this position but i'm leaning toward trading it in at a several thousand dollar financial loss, thinking the hit is better than ruining a healthy back. When…

The driver's seat is so uncomfortable that i feel it is a safety concern. Driver fatigue and distraction. The seating material is too hard, the lumbar is too prominent and misplaced (too high) because the bottom seat cushion is too low in the back, and can't be adjusted upward. The head rest is so far forward as to not allow any head movement. Only very short trips can be made in this automobile. Longer trips are…

Myself and my husband have driven this car for less than one week and we both already have back and neck pain from the poorly designed driver and passenger front seats. We commute one hour each direction to work every day and after the first day or driving one way we were both in pain. We have tried every possible combination position of the seats with and without lumbar support and no matter what, they are beyond…
