I just bought a 2012 Accord SE and the driver's seat is beyond uncomfortable--it's causing both back pain and numbness down my right leg. I don't have any back problems and fear it will cause some serious problems. I've put 400 miles on this car. I hate to be in this position but I'm leaning toward trading it in at a several thousand dollar financial loss, thinking the hit is better than ruining a healthy back. When I called Honda to ask if there was any solution, the customer service person said the seat meets government safety standards and Honda has no plans to do anything further. Very disappointing! I wish I had read all of the complaints posted online about the seat before I purchased the car. Apparently, it has been going on for several years.

The driver's seat is so uncomfortable that I feel it is a safety concern. Driver fatigue and distraction. The seating material is too hard, the lumbar is too prominent and misplaced (too high) because the bottom seat cushion is too low in the back, and can't be adjusted upward. The head rest is so far forward as to not allow any head movement. Only very short trips can be made in this automobile. Longer trips are not advisable.
