HR-V

  • miles
Honda Hr-V has the most uncomfortable seats. A couple of days after purchasing this brand new car, I started experiencing pain in my lower back and tailbone area. No matter how I adjusted the seat, the pain was still there. I contacted the dealer about it, they suggested trying out some cushions. I tried several different cushions and lumbar supports, but nothing helps. My tailbone always hurts while driving this car. It doesn't happen in any other vehicle. When I called the dealer back asking if they could swap out the drivers seat with another seat, they said they don't do anything like that. I feel the dealership has been very unhelpful and now I'm stuck paying for the car that is literally a pain in the rear to drive.

HR-V

  • 75 miles
The seats in my 2017 Honda H-rv were so uncomfortable I had to trade it in after having only put 250 miles on the car. No matter which way I adjusted the seats, it was no better. When I went to the doctor she told me everything below my waist was spasming. The seats were very hard, narrow and the drivers seat belt was pressed right up against your hip and you couldn't move it. I lost $2000 dollars when I traded that car in and I know from all the articles I've read that Honda has been aware of this problem for some time. But they keep ripping off the customers. The test drive is not long enough to detect the problem and I believe anyone who has to trade in their car for this problem should be compensated. I notified the dealer when I had only 25 miles on the car and they would not take it back.
