SEATS
I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXL. THE DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS BY MAKING THE DRIVER SQUIRM AROUND IN THE SEAT ON LONG DRIVES. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A INFLATABLE LUMBAR SUPPORT, BUT A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT DIGS INTO THE DRIVERS BACK. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SQUIRM AROUND ON LONG DRIVES TO TRY AND GET COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO GET THERE. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT FEELS LIKE A BRICK IN THE DRIVERS BACK MAKING IT HARD TO FOCUS ON DRIVING. I'VE HEARD OF OWNERS REMOVING FROM THE DRIVER SEAT, THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND THEN REMOVING THE CHEAP PIECE OF LUMBAR SUPPORT PLASTIC TO GET THE BRICK FEELING OUT OF THERE BACK. I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS BUT WANT TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE THIS IS HAPPENING. BESIDE THE SEAT PROBLEM THE ACCORD IS A GOOD CAR, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE A NHTSA INVESTIGATOR RENT A 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXL AND DRIVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN TAKE IT ON A LONG TRIP. SEE HOW YOUR BACK FEELS THEN.

SEAT BELTS:INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT
THE CAR IS BRAND NEW. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT DIDN'T NOTICE HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE SEAT WAS IN SUCH A SHORT DRIVE. NOW THAT I DRIVE THE CAR EVERYDAY TO WORK, ABOUT A 45 MINUTE COMMUTE EACH WAY, ITS OBVIOUS THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF DESIGN FLAW. I'VE ADJUSTED THE SEAT EVERY WHICH WAY POSSIBLE WITH SAME RESULT, TOTAL DISCOMFORT. I HARDLY EVER HAVE BACK PROBLEMS, NOW MY BACK HURTS EVERYDAY. MY CLAIM WAS SUBSTANTIATED WHEN I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THE SAME COMPLAINT BY MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS FROM 2008 THRU 2010. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY WITH SUCH A GREAT REPUTATION FOR SOLID CARS CAN LET THIS GO ON AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2010 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 6 CYL. - BRAKE SCREECH, BRAKE SMELL AND SLIDING TO STOP (LIKE BRAKES ARE LOCKED). HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES - A DEFINITE LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION ON THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, AT 17,000 MILES REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE COMPLETELY WORN. BRAKE NEAR-FAILURE AND SMELL OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. 2 DEALERS "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA, WITH NO HELP THERE, EITHER. I AM SEEKING REDRESS VIA BBB AUTOLINE/CA LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HIGH BEAM DRLS ON THE HONDA ACCORD ARE MASKING THE INBOARD TURN SIGNALS. WHILE APPROACHING A LEFT TURN I WAS UNABLE TO DISCERN WHETHER AN ONCOMING ACCORD HAD ITS TURN SIGNALS ACTIVATED UNTIL VERY LATE IN MAKING MY MANEUVER. BECAUSE NHTSA HAS DETERMINED THAT DRLS ARE OF NO BENEFIT TO OVERALL SAFETY, IT SHOULD REQUIRE HONDA TO DEACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAM DRLS ON ALL ACCORD MODELS OF THE CURRENT GENERATION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I LEASED A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. TWO DAYS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ALONG WITH ALL THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS. EVERYTHING WENT BLACK INSIDE. A TRUCK TRAVELING BEHIND ME NEARLY MISSED HITTING ME AND I AVOIDED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK AND IS SAYING THE COMPUTER THEY ARE HOOKING THE CAR UP TO IS NOT COMING UP WITH ANY PROBLEMS AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM BEING PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BY DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING VERY WRONG. *TR

SEATS
THE FRONT SEATS ARE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE FRONT OF THE SEAT DOESN'T ADJUST DOWNWARD ENOUGH AND HITS THE WRONG PRESSURE POINTS UNDER THE THIGH, THUS CUTTING OFF CIRCULATION IN THE LEG. THE SEAT IS ALSO TOO LONG AND HITS AT THE BACK OF THE KNEE RIGHT WHERE YOUR LEG BENDS. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HITS AND PRESSES AGAINST THE LEG RIGHT WHERE THE LEG/HIP BENDS. THIS TOO CUTS OFF CIRCULATION TO THE LEG AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO WALK WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING BOTH LEG, HIP AND BACK PAIN SHORTLY AFTER GETTING MY NEW CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM SINCE I'M IN THE CAR FOR A VERY LONG TIME PERIOD ON A DAILY BASIS.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I HAD A 2010 ACCORD, AFTER 400-600 MILES I STARTED GETTING THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT EVERYTIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN AROUND 1200 MILES. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE THE REVERSE GEAR FORK. THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SPRING THAT HAD BROKE. THANKFULLY IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PUT A NEW REVERSE GEAR FORK IN AND NO PROBLEMS SINCE. NOISE HAS GONE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME SEEING SOME OF THE NEWER MODEL CARS AT DUSK DAWN AND NIGHT. IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THE NEWER MODELS HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS THAT CONSIST ONLY OF HEAD LIGHTS WHICH THE DRIVERS MISTAKEN FOR HAVE ALL THEIR LIGHTS ON. SO A CAR MAY HAVE HEADLAMPS BUT NO TAIL LAMPS. I DO APPROVE OF DRL'S ( I TURN ON MY LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES) BUT THEY SHOULD INCLUDE TAIL LAMPS. I BELIEVE THIS NEW SETUP IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN HELPFUL. *TR
