Consumer Description

BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD SE AND STARTED TO HAVE BACK PAIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT AND CAUSES ME BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN. THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD REST PUSHES MY HEAD TOO FAR FORWARD AND CAUSES NECK AND HEAD ACHES; ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED FROM THE SEAT DESIGN! THE SEAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE UPPER BACK WHICH CAUSES MORE PAIN. I DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES BEFORE THIS CAR. WHAT GOOD IS A SAFE CAR IF IT CAUSES PAIN? CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT THEY DESIGNED AN UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT. MAKE THAT THE WORST DESIGNED SEAT OF ANY AUTOMOBILE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! THIS COULD BE THE WORST SEAT DESIGN OF ALL TIME! PLEASE RECALL THIS SEAT! *JS
