2011 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I PURCHASED THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD COUPE USED FROM NORM REEVES HONDA IN CERRITOS, CA. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXTREME LEG AND BACK PAIN AFTER LONG COMMUTES. I AM COMPLETELY AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO RESORT TO DRIVING A COMPANY CAR INSTEAD, THE PAIN STILL EXISTS AFTER 3 WEEKS OF NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE INTO THIS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THE SEATS. HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A SHOULDER INJURY AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED BRUISING AND INTERNAL BLEEDING THAT BOTH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2015. THE FIRST THING THAT I HAD TO FIX WAS THE AXLE ( OUTPUT SHAFT ) SEAL LEAK WHICH THE HONDA DEALER DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAD 62,000. ALSO, IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE IN THE BACK WHEN I GO OVER THE SPEED BUMP WHICH IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NTB FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS STARTING TO LEAK MOTOR OIL. AND AGAIN, THE HONDA DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO HONOR THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE LOW MILEAGE IT HAS. SEEMS LIKE I NEED TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM.

THE DRIVER SEAT CAUSE BACK PAIN, BACK INJURIES AND REQUIRE IBUPROFEN TO TOLERATE DRIVING THE CAR. SEVERAL OF HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINT TO HONDA AND EVEN THOUGH THE LOCAL DEALER ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. HONDA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT THAT CAUSE BACK INJURIES AND REPLACE THE SEAT.

I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND I GET THE SAME ANSWER. IF I FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX MY SEAT PROBLEM IT WILL VOID MY WARRANTY. I CAN NOT GET THE SEAT ON A 90 DEGREE ANGLE.IT IS CUTTING OFF MY CIRCULATION AND MY FOOT GOES NUMB. I HAVE A KNEE REPLACEMENT AND CAN NOT GET MY LEG STRAIGHT ENOUGH SO MY KNEE DOES NOT START TO HURT. BETWEEN THE NUMBNESS AND THE KNEE PAIN I AM AFRAID OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT. I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF PILLOWS, ETC. DOES NOT HELP. IF I REPLACE THE SEAT WITH ONE THAT WILL SHIFT TO A RIGHT ANGLE IT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY, SO WILL PUTTING A WEDGE OF ANY KIND UNDER THE BACK OF THE SEAT. I AM HEADING FOR AN ACCIDENT AND APPARENTLY I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SITUATION WITHOUT GIVING MYSELF ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT I AM THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS MAY NOT EVER REALIZE THAT THE CAUSE WAS - NUMB LEG AND FOOT DUE THE SEAT CUTTING OFF THE CIRCULATION. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MID AUGUST 2014. *TR

THIS MODEL CAR HAS THE MOST AWFUL, POORLY DESIGNED SEATS. I AM VARY SURE PEOPLE WILL GET SEVER BACK PROBLEM WITH THIS KIND OF SEAT DESIGN. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS NOT WORKING. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A HAZARD. MY MECHANIC SAID THE TOYOTAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE SUNROOF OPENED ON ITS OWN, WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. IT WAS DURING A SNOWSTORM AND EXTREME COLD WITH HIGH WINDS AND BELOW ZERO WINDCHILLS. *JS

THIS VEHICLE HAS KILLED MY BACK, AND THAT TOO WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. IT HAS THE MOST AWFUL, POORLY DESIGNED SEATS. FOR OVER TWO YEARS I THOUGHT MY BAD BACK WAS A PROBLEM DUE TO MY WORK POSTURE AND DIET. AND I TRIED EVERY THING I COULD THINK OF, ALONG WITH MONTHLY VISITS TO A CHIROPRACTOR. I CONNECTED THE PROBLEM TO THE CAR QUITE ACCIDENTALLY. I HAPPEN TO CHANGE CARS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND MY BACK PROBLEMS JUST VANISHED. AND NOW I CAN NOTICE HOW MY BACK GOES OUT OF WHACK THE MOMENT I DRIVE IN THIS CAR, WHETHER A PASSENGER OR A DRIVER. I CANNOT LAST MORE THAN A MILE OR TWO. IF I GO LONGER THAN TEN MINUTES, I HAVE TO VISIT THE CHIROPRACTOR THE NEXT DAY. THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT WRECKED, IT HAS WRECKED MY BACK. *TR

THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT ALWAYS ILLUMINATES EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER OCCUPYING THE SEAT. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE AIR BAGS ARE TAKATA BRAND AIR BAGS. *TR
