- Shahid U., San Jose, CA, USA. I went to a body worker yesterday because my lower and upper back and legs were in such pain. I tried placing pillows and towels in strategic places, and I just ordered a variety of lumbar support / cushions to try to alleviate the pain. I cannot believe that I just spent $33,000 for this car and cannot drive it for more than 15 minutes before experiencing excruciating pain. I have just over 1,100 miles on it and have no idea what to do. I tried adjusting the driver seat positions: forward/back, up/down, angled/leveled the seat, adjusted the lumber support to more/less pronounced positions, without finding a position that alleviates the pain. Also, when I try to adjust the steering wheel to see if arm position might be part of the problem, it lands either high, or if I lower it, the wheel blocks the speedometer in the range 55-85 mi/hr.

My previous vehicle, a Dodge Grand Caravan, had wonderful seats. I thought I was 'moving on up' with a reliable Honda Accord.In fact, I never had a comfort problem with any other vehicle I have owned in the past 40 years. Please help me find a solution. Marilyn S., Berkeley, CA, USA. There is something wrong with the front seats.

On long trips, my wife complains about hip pain in the passenger seat. I can't get comfortable in the driver's seat. I've tried putting it all the way back, forward and everything in between.

I get a pain in my right leg. Don't know if it is necessarily the seat, the width of the centre console or the position of the pedals. We could drive my 2005 Camry all day (from Canada to Florida) and feel great. This car starts to hurt after 20 minutes. mrozman, Toronto, ON, Canada. Severe back pain due to driver's seat In the first week of ownership I noticed my back would be in pain about 30 minutes into my one hour commute to and from work each day. I did not think it was possible to have an issue with seats in a brand new car but these are terrible.

The pain has only gotten worse and now I'm scheduled to see a doctor this week to see if there is anything that will help outside of selling the car and taking a HUGE loss. This is the first Honda I have ever purchased and will likely be my last. dsminatlanta, Atlanta, GA, USA.

My new 2016 Honda Accord Touring V6 is a beautiful car with modern features and that includes perforated leather seats. Unfortunately the seat bottom of the drivers seat is way too stiff.

Very uncomfortable compared to my previous leather seats in my Dodge charger or my wife's leather seat in her Mazda CX9. We are not really talking about a cheap econ-o-box here. We are talking about a 35K mid-size car. Not much a can do about it except to get one of those tacky seat cushions I suppose. Steve H., Lansdale, PA, USA.

This my 3rd Honda Accord in 22 years. Bought first one in 1994- loved it. Bought next one in 2005 - loved it! Bought the 2016 & can't even drive it. Due to the drivers seat I have back, neck & leg pain that is unbearable. What they did to the seat I do not know except it was a mistake.

Honda won't do anything & the dealership offered me over $2,000 less than what I paid for it. I am screwed. I can't drive the car so, I will have to take a huge loss getting rid of it. Very disappointing Honda!!!

- Victoria S., Elmira, NY, USA. Just got my 2016 Honda Accord EX-L two days back. I was all excited to get this car which quickly died within a couple of days. I have developed severe back pain and hip pain just from an hour of driving. I thought I will get used to the seats and the pain will subside, but the pain started to worsen. I have tried several seat setting without any relief.

Now with my third day of driving I know that this is heading for the worse. Before this I never had any back or hip issues. I have to drive about an hour and a half to my work, which never bothered me before this. I have used Nissan altima, Kia Rio for a long time now to commute without any problems. Now with this car it is such a pain.

What a shame, with a flagship like car for Honda why are the seats made so uncomfortable and poorly designed? The lumbar support design is the main problem. There is a band which is just above the adjustable lumbar support system which does not move and pinches on the back like a strap. Which is highly uncomfortable. Then when you try to make it even by pushing lumbar support forward it is even more uncomfortable to lower lumbar. The support is too hard. Then there is no support to lower part which creates problem is lower back.

Plus the lower flat surface and the back support are hinged on such a way that the hips get strained and start to hurt slowly. No matter how many settings I try they are uncomfortable.

I am just shocked how less reputed companies are making much better seats. As someone said it doesn't make any sense to make a engine that lasts for 200,000 miles when I cannot drive 200 miles comfortably.

Now I spent over 30K to buy an expensive uncomfortable car. This problem is highly unlikely to surface with a short test drive and accords are not really available to rent to try for a few days. Going by the reputation is a big mistake. Beware new buyers!

Honda Accord, as a series of vehicles, has been produced by the renowned Japanese automobile manufacturer Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When the first Honda Accord was released in 1976 to Japanese market, it was a 3-door hatchback to replace the Honda 1300. Then since 1989, its 4-door sedan has been one of the best-selling cars in the United States.

Countless awards such as 1994 Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year, Car and Driver's 10 Best for 32 years, 2014 Green Car of the Year and so on has proved Honda Accord's strong prowess. Until now, Honda Accord has gone through nine generations. The eighth generation Honda Accord (2007-2012) made its debut at North American market for the 2008 model year in 2007. In United States, Honda Accord was available in LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L with Navigation, EX-L V6 and EX-L V6 with Navigation for full-size (E-segment) sedan, and EX, EX-L, EX-L with Navigation and EX-L V6 with Navigation for mid-size (D-segment) coupe. It was powered by engines varying from 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine to 3.5L V6 engine and engines were mated to 5-speed manual or automatic or 6-speed manual transmissions. The ninth generation Honda Accord (2012-present) went on sale in 2012 in United States. And besides the trim levels carried over from previous generation, it adds Sport and Touring trim levels as well as an Accord Plug-in Hybrid.

Available powertrains are 2.0L, 2.4L inline 4-cylinder and 3.5L V6 engines and engines are mated to new CVT, 6-speed automatic or manual or 5-speed automatic transmissions. When Honda Accord reached at about 10,000 mileages, many problems start to find it according to Accord owners. For your Honda Accord's long lifespan, you had better know these: First, transmission slipping and jerking or complete failure. Honda Accord drivers complained at CarComplaints.com, the car repair statistics site about transmission slipping and jerking while shifting gears. Some even said that the faster they drove the harder Accord shifted. And these symptoms often happen when the Accord reached at about 10,000 miles.

If you notice that your Accor is suffering from hard shifting and could hear grinding noises from underneath the vehicle, then transfer case seal, clutch slippage, transmission pan and valve body need a thorough inspection. Second, engine and braking went wrong. Engine as the heart of a vehicle would experience performance reducing, hard starting, loss of power when acceleration or lower fuel efficiency. And these phenomena just happen to Honda Accord. Generally speaking, when the Check Engine Light in the vehicle is illuminated, the Accord air filter, oi filter, oxygen sensor and valve cover gasket should be checked. As for braking failure in Honda Accord, you should keep a close eye on the brake pad set and brake disc.

Unluckily, a Honda Accord with long life expectancy needs lots of time and energy to be devoted to in maintaining. And electrical auto parts in it also belong to easy-to-go-wear components due to long-term exposure to repeated usage.

Door lock actuator, for example, is responsible for locking and unlocking power door so that you can enter in conveniently and prevent from being stolen. It could wear out as accumulation of usage times.

So could the power window switch. And cabin air filter, wiper blade and emblem also should be serviced regularly. Hondapartsnow.com is dedicated to offering lowest-priced OEM Honda Accord auto parts online.
