2008 Honda Accord seats problems

“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.”

“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 PROBLEM OR SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. FINALLY, I DEVELOP BACKACHES DUE TO THE DISCOMFORT OF THE SEATS WHICH I SUSPECT ARE NOT CORRECTLY OR ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED. AFTER ABOUT 30 TO 40 MINUTES OF DRIVING I EXPERIENCE LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH I NORMALLY NEVER HAVE. THIS DISSUADES ME FROM DRIVING FOR MUCH LONGER DISTANCES AS I REMAIN STIFF AND NEED TO REST IN ORDER TO RECOVER FROM THE BACK PAIN AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE.”

“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 ON EACH SIDE OF YOUR BODY CAUSING HIP PAIN. IN ORDER TO TRY AND BE COMFORTABLE YOU HAVE TO TRY AND PUT THE SEAT BACK, BUT THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS POORLY DESIGNED TOO. THERE'S JUST NO COMFORTABLE POSITION WITH THIS SEAT!!!!!!! THIS SEAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ANOTHER MORE COMFORTABLE ONE INSTALLED INSTEAD...BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. MY 1999 ACCORD HAS A SUPER COMFORTABLE SEAT AND HEAD REST...WHY DID THEY DO SUCH A BAD THING IN CHANGING THE DESIGN SO DRASTICALLY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS..IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT ONLY FOR THAT REASON. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S A REALLY NICE MODEL. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!”

“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 INTERNET. THE ENGINE BELT RUMBLES, THE SUSPENSION IS WAY OFF, THE LEATHER SEATS AND SIDEARMS HAVE RIPPED BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACED BY CHEAP PARTS. THE CAR LOAN IS FOR 331.00 MONTHLY AND STILL IS OWED A SIGINIFICANT AMOUNT ON. STEWARD FINANCIAL HARASSES WITH PHONE CALLS IF YOU ARE AN HR LATE ON A PAYMENT. UNACCEPTABLE. I AM DISABLED AND CAN BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT RUNS LIKE A HOOPDEE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO RUN LIKE A HONDA. TURNING IT DOES NOT GRAB THE ROAD, STATIONARY THE ENGINE RUMBLES. I AM A FEMALE SO I DO NOT KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT CARS. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE ON A CAR WITH SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OWED ON IT.”

“"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 OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. HONDA USA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE ECU UNIT. THEY BULLY THEIR DEALERS NOT TO REPLACE IT TOO. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A BUSINESS THAT IS THIS DECEIVING IN MY LIFE. I' M STUCK WITHOUT ANY PULL OR POWER TO HAVE THEM LIABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ,I BEG YOU , PLEASE HELP ME NHTSA! THERE WAS A LITIGATION THAT WAS SETTLED IN THE PAST REGARDING PREMATURE WEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES. THEY JUST REPLACED ONE SET OF REAR BRAKES PER LITIGATION, BUT THE ACTUAL DEFECT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED AND NEVER FIXED. THE DEFECT IS IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEM . I'M STILL DRIVING WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKING, WITH EXTREMELY HIGH ANXIETY. HONDA USA DECEIVED NHTSA AND THE CUSTOMERS AGAIN. SEATS ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE , IT DETRACTS ATTENTION AWAY FROM DRIVING SAFELY ON THE ROAD.”

“AT A FULL STOP PASSENGER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED ALSO DAMAGED THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WEATHER STRIP THAT CREATES A SEAL WHEN DOORS CLOSE. HEADLINER IS DAMAGED AS WELL. SEAT BELT ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN DEPLOYED AND IS NON FUNCTIONING. *TR”
