NHTSA Complaint #11022772 — 2012 HONDA ACCORD

THE SEATS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD ARE CAUSING BACK PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE SATURN FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SHOULDER OR MY LOWER BACK. THE PAIN IS GETTING SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO SIT ON TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF FOAM RUBBER AND PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE DASHBOARD TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. I AM GOING TO BEGIN TREATMENT FOR THIS LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH NOW EXTENDS DOWN MY LEGS THE SEATS IN THIS CAR CAN BE COMPARED TO SITTING ON A WOODEN BENCH I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I ONLY DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. AFTER DRIVING 80 MILES THE NEXT DAY I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SORE MY BACK WAS AFTER GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND I COULD HAVE TRADED IT IN BUT OF COURSE ANY CAR AVAILABLE WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE MONEY THE PAIN DISCOMFORT IS NOT ONLY GOING TO COST ME MONEY FOR TREATMENT IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY LEFT FOOT EITHER UP ON THE SEAT OR ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I DON'T DO THIS THE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND HIPS IT'S ALMOST INTOLERABLE - I BOUGHT THIS AS A USED CAR TWO YEARS AGO
