SEATS
JUST STARTED LEASING A 2012 ACCORD SE A WEEK AGO. DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, WHEN I DROVE THE CAR INITIALLY, I DID NOT FEEL IT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY FOR 5-7 MINUTES OR SO, BUT OBVIOUSLY AFTER 30 MINUTES OR SO, ONE CAN FEEL THE BACK AND NECK PAIN. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE SEAT IN MANY WAYS, BUT DID NOT FIND A POSITION FOR DRIVING THE CAR COMFORTABLY. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
ABS LIGHTS ON PURCHASE AFTER 5 MONTHS. I PURCHASE MY CAR ON 12/30/11. ON 30/5/12 I SAW THE LIGHTS ON, I DROPPED MY CAR FOR 1 DAY AT BOARDWALK HONDA SERVICE. NEXT DAY, WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY CAR THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THE WIRING. THE PLACE WHERE I PARK MY CAR, THERE WERE THREE OTHER CARS ALSO PARKED EVERYDAY. THEY NEVER HAVE SUCH KIND OF PROBLEM. I THINK BECAUSE OF THEIR CAR IS OLD AND MY CAR IS NEW SO RODENTS LIKE TO EAT NEW WIRES NOT A OLD WIRES. THE MANGER TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND IT WILL BE MORE THAN $1000. I AM COMPLETELY DISAGREE, WHY SHOULD I PAY. STILL ITS PASSED 5 MONTHS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY HONDA WITH FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKES CONSTANTLY MAKE AN ANNOYING CLICKING SHOULD IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I MADE THE PURCHASE I WAS WAITING FOR ONE HOUR AND A HALF ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY DID NOT DO A FULL INSPECTION AND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL THE CLICKING SOUND IS NORMAL. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY CAR IT IS THE FIFTH HONDA IN THE FAMILY THE NEW VEHICLE WITH THE LOUD CLICKING SOUND. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES FROM MAZDA TO NISSAN EVEN TOYOTA AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE WITH SUCH ANNOYING CLICKING SOUND. *TR

SEATS
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR TWO WEEKS AGO. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS ON A LONG DRIVE, 5+/- HOURS WITH THE CAR. AT THE END OF THE DRIVE, MY LOWER BACK WAS ON FIRE AND I HAD A HARD TIME MOVING AROUND FOR THE REST OF THAT WEEKEND. THEN THE DRIVE HOME WAS WORSE, BECAUSE MY BACK ALREADY WAS HURTING. THESE SEATS ARE AWFUL! I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THEY REALLY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT (IT WASN'T BROKEN). I THEN CALL HONDA CARE, EXPLAINED MY ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER (N012012-4-3002271). THAT CASE ENDING IN HONDA USA BASICALLY TELLING ME TO POUND SAND! I SAID THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THESE ISSUES, JUST GO AND GOOGLE IT. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE. THE HONDA REP "CAROLINE" TO ME HONDA WAS UN-AWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS AND FURTHER TOLD ME, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WEB POSTINGS. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS... I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR. THE FRONT SEATS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) ARE CAUSING EXTREME BACK PAIN AND NUMBNESS IN MY LEGS. HONDA IS KNOWINGLY OR UN-KNOWINGLY IGNORING THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES AND I'M JUST LOOKING FOR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS. I HAVE TRIED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURE THEMSELVES WITHOUT SATISFACTION. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW 2012 HONDA ACCORD SE MODEL WITH VIN [XXX] ON JANUARY 19TH 2012. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM RIVERSIDE HONDA THROUGH FOOTHILL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. EVER SINCE, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NOTHING BUT NIGHTMARES. I HAVE FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURER'S BREAK IN PERIOD FORMAT STEP BY STEP. THREE DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASED, I DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FWY AND NOTICED A WEIR, UNCOMMON AND RATHER DISTURBING SHIMMY ON THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 65 TO 75 MPH. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND UNFIT TO BE DRIVEN ON FREEWAYS. I NEEDED YOUR HELP DESPERATELY TO PREVENT A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC ARE AT RISK. I HAVE ACTED AND PROCEEDED AS INDICATED. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS SHIMMY ISSUE TO THE HONDA DEALERS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS SHIMMY ISSUE TO AMERICAN HONDA. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WITH A HONDA ADVISER AND A FIELD REP. IN BOTH CASES, THE SHIMMY HAS BEING IDENTIFIED, NOTICED AND ESTABLISHED. YET, NOTING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH THE AMERICAN HONDA FILED REP. NO SHIMMY WAS IDENTIFIED, PROVING HONDA WRONG. THE AMERICAN HONDA FIELD REP THAT TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE STATED THAT HE WAS GOING TO HELP ME. HE STATED THAT SOMETIMES CARS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE THE WRONG TIRES INSTALLED. HE WAS TO CHECK FOR RECALLS, BULLETINS AND WHAT THE ENGINEERS FROM HONDA WILL ADVISE HIM ON MY CASE. HE OFFERED TO CARE OF THE PAPER WORK. I TRUSTED HIM. HE WAS GOING TO SEND ME A COPY OF WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED TOGETHER. THE FIELD REP MADE ONE STATEMENT VERBALLY TO ME AND WROTE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SCENARIO ON THE PAPERWORK. I HAVE BEING LIED TO, MISLEAD, AND DECEIVED AS A CONSUMER AND AS A HUMAN BEING. I AM ASKING IN THE MOST HUMBLE WAY FOR ASSISTANCE. AMERICAN HONDA MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THEY HAVE BUILT. IT IS THEIR DUTY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

SEATS
MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN ONE WEEK AND WE BOTH ALREADY HAVE BACK AND NECK PAIN FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SEATS. WE COMMUTE ONE HOUR EACH DIRECTION TO WORK EVERY DAY AND AFTER THE FIRST DAY OR DRIVING ONE WAY WE WERE BOTH IN PAIN. WE HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION POSITION OF THE SEATS WITH AND WITHOUT LUMBAR SUPPORT AND NO MATTER WHAT, THEY ARE BEYOND UNCOMFORTABLE. WE DREAD HAVING TO EVEN GET IN THE CAR AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO SO MANY PEOPLE. NOT ONLY IS THE BACK OF THE SEAT AN ISSUE BUT THE HEAD REST LOCATION RESULTS IN NECK PAIN AS WELL. WE HAD A TOYOTA CAMRY AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT WE DIDN'T SAY WITH THE TOYOTA FAMILY AS THEIR CARS ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND RELIABLE. HOPEFULLY HONDA WILL ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND RETAIN THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
