Consumer Description

THE FRONT SEATS IN THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. IT HAS CAUSED ME (AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ONLINE) TO HAVE SEVERE BACK PAIN. THE LOWER LUMBAR SUPPORT STICKS OUT WAY TO FAR AND CAUSES UNEVEN SUPPORT TO YOUR LOWER AND UPPER BACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD BACK ISSUES, BUT AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR A WEEK, I AM IN SERIOUS PAIN. SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? GO BUY EXPENSIVE AFTERMARKET PILLOWS THAT DON'T WORK? TRADE THE CAR BACK IN AND LOSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND ABSORB THE COST OF A CHIROPRACTOR? NORMALLY I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. JUST LOOK IT UP ONLINE. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP OR HONDA COULD GET SUED. THERE IS ENOUGH INFO OUT THERE AND UPSET CUSTOMERS TO CAUSE HONDA A HUGE LEGAL NIGHTMARE. *TR
