Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCE EXCRUCIATING PAIN WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES IN MY NEW HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6. I CANNOT FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, DESPITE HAVING TRIED EVERY ADJUSTMENT: FORWARD / BACK, UP/DOWN, ANGLE THE SEAT, ADJUST THE LUMBER SUPPORT, ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL. I WENT TO A BODY WORKER TWICE THIS WEEK TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN IN MY LOWER AND UPPER BACK AND LEGS. I HAVE DRIVEN VARIOUS CARS FOR 40 PLUS YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH SEATS, UNTIL NOW. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I JUST SPENT $33,000 ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE AND COMFORTABLE, BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT BE IN SUCH PAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 1,100 MILES ON IT, AND I GUESS THAT I NEED TO SELL IT BACK TO THE DEALER OR TO A PRIVATE PARTY, FOR A LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR
