2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2012 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. INITIALLY, HE FELT THE EFFECTS OF THE BRAKES, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IN SPITE OF HIM APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO STOP CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIS. AS A RESULT, HIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CONSUMER, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGERS WERE INJURED, SOME REQUIRED SURGERY AND REHABILITATION. THE CONSUMER DID NOT STATE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INJURED, BESIDES HIMSELF.

ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY HONDA ACCORD COUPE, I HAD HORRIBLE BACK PAIN. I COULD BARLEY WALK WITHOUT HELP. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS PRESCRIBED MUSCLE RELAXANT AND IBUPROFEN. MY BACK HAS NOT STOPPED HURTING. I COMMUTE 45 MINS EACH WAY TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK. I THOUGHT BACK TO WHEN MY BACK PAIN BEGAN AND THE ACCORD WAS THE ONLY CHANGE THAT I MADE. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE TO FIND OUT IF ANY OTHER 2012 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN PROBLEMS AND TO MY SURPRISE A NUMBER OF OWNERS ARE. I WILL CONTACT HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WILL RECTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT FROM WHAT I READ FROM OTHER CONSUMERS HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHIN. *TR

I GOT MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD IT HAD 8 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING THAT THE ACCELERATION DELAYS ABOUT FIVE SECONDS IT FEELS JUST LIKE THE CAR IS NOT GETTING GAS AND THEN IT KICKS IN. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I HAVE SLOWED DOWN OR AM TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT TURNING. I HAVE HAD THAT DELAY HAPPEN WHEN EVER I DRIVE. *TR

AS I WAS BRAKING WHILE APPROACHING AN ANGLED PARKING SPACE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE CAR ACCELERATED, CROSSED THE SIDEWALK AND HIT A CONCRETE BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR DECLARED THE CAR TOTALED. *TR

MY EXPERIENCE OPERATING THE HONDA ACCORD ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE INDICATES SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH SOUND POSTURE AND BEST-CASE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS CAUSED ALL BACK PAIN ISSUES I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE HONDA ACCORD DRIVER'S SEAT IS THE ONLY VARIABLE AND IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY BACK PAIN; ALL VARIABLES CONSIDERED, AGE, SEX, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, WEATHER, OFFICE CHAIR, ETC. HONDA ENGINEERS, MANUFACTURES, QUALITY ASSURANCE, AND GENERAL STAFF SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR SELLING A CAR WITH SUCH A POORLY CONSTRUCTED SEAT! THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS DEFECTIVE AND OVER A VERY BRIEF DURATION DEMONSTRATES THE POTENTIAL TO ADVERSELY IMPACT A PERSONS HEALTH IN A HARMFUL MANNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS WERE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, CAUSING HIM TO SUSTAIN BACK PAIN.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000.....

FRONT DRIVER SEAT IS CAUSING NECK,BACK AND HIP PAIN AFTER DRIVING 10-15 MINUTES, ADJUSTING SEAT DOES NOT HELP. I TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY INSPECTED SEAT AND SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM, I TOLD THEM THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE NO MATTER WHO DRIVES THE CAR EVERYONE EXPERIENCES THE SAME PAIN. I GOOGLED "ACCORD SEAT PROBLEM" AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FOR A COMPANY THAT MAKES SUCH GREAT CARS I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A SEAT, I HOPE THEY VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
