Consumer Description

THE SEATS IN THIS CAR ARE JUNK AND A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THEY CAUSE SEVERE BACK, LEG, AND NECK PAIN. I HAVE REPOSITIONED THE SEAT HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND STILL UNBEARABLE. ITS HAS 600 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE TRADING IT IN TOMORROW AT A LOSS OF THOUSANDS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR 2 WEEKS.. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM BUT AMERICAN HONDA SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. DON'T BUY A HONDA ACCORD UNLESS YOU LIKE LOOKING AT IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER. HONDA SHOULD REFUND OUR LOSSES. *TR
