NHTSA Complaint #10436082 — 2011 HONDA ACCORD

MY CURRENT ACCORD IS THE 4TH I'VE LEASED SINCE 2002. WHEN THE CAR HIT 1,000 MILES THE SPRINGS IN THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHION STARTED TO FEEL LIKE THEY WERE PUSHING UP THROUGH THE SEAT. THE LONGER I WAS IN THE CAR THE WORSE IT GOT. IT ACTUALLY BECAME PAINFUL TO DRIVE. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I SAW THAT I WAS NOT ALONE. MANY COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD BY THEIR DEALER THAT THE SEATS WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS AND NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. SADLY, MY DEALER TOLD ME THE SAME, ALTHOUGH THEY MADE AN "ADJUSTMENT" TO THE PROBLEM THAT DIDN'T EXIST AND REDUCED THE SEAT FROM PAINFUL TO JUST REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I'M 6'3". IF YOU SIT INTO THE BACK OF THE SEAT YOU WILL REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. HONDA IS IN DENIAL ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR
