Accord

  • 50,000 miles
This is not a safety complaint but more of a defect. I have a 2011 Honda Accord and it had less than 50,000 miles when I noticed the issue. I have leather interior and the arm rest on the driver's door bubbles in extreme heat. Once it cools off, it lays back down some, but never flat as it should be. It is concerning that this is happening on a car that is not that old. Upon googling this issue, I see that there are many Honda owners who have complained of the same thing. I took it to the dealer and was told that it is not covered under the extended warranty and it is very concerning especially when the dealer (prioroity Honda in chesapeake, va) says that its the glue and it will be $150 to repair. Really....I would have been best off getting cloth interior. This is the 3rd Honda I have owned, but afraid it may be my last.

Faulty lumbar support in Honda Accord SE 2011. The lumbar support in the above model is faulty and is resulting in serious back-ache to many drivers (online posts can be checked). Even with zero settings on lmbar support, it protudes outsides resulting in back pain to many including myself. This is also a safety issue as due to uncomfortable position and the resulting pain causes the drivers to move and alter positions of sitting, changing the seat settings while driving. The pain also results in taking mind off traffic and whats happening on the road. The issue is sometimes experienced by many on driving more than 30 miles on the first try. Please investigate.
