Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN SEEING MY DOCTOR SINCE AUGUST 2012 FOR ACUTE LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH HAS NOW BECOME CHRONIC. THIS CAME UPON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND MY DOCTOR NOR ME DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. I STUMBLED ACROSS THE CAR STATS WEBSITE AND COULDN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FRONT SEATS AND THE BACK PAIN ASSOCIATED BY OTHERS. NOW, THE MYSTERY IS OVER! MY CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY MY 2012 ACCORD. I AM 42 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD BACK PROBLEMS BEFORE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!! I HAVE BEEN A PROUD OWNER OF A HONDA ACCORD SINCE 1991 BUT THIS IS MY LAST ONE UNLESS HONDA CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. FOR ALL YOU BACK PAIN ACCORD DRIVERS, CONTACT ME AND LETS GET HONDA'S ATTENTION. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM FELLOW DRIVERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
