IN JULY OF 2009 I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN. FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN ADJUSTING THE POWER DRIVER SEAT, THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT FORWARD AND BACKWARD WAS ROUGH (I.E. WOBBLY). I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY REPLACED THE SEAT RAILS, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS THOUGH NOT AS SEVERE. ADDITIONALLY THE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS FOR THE HEATED FRONT SEATS WERE NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY (ACTUALLY NOT CONNECTED AT ALL) AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY DID NOT WORK UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX-PREMIUM AND BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT SEATS ARE UNSAFE.

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX-PREMIUM AND BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT SEATS ARE UNSAFE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FEATURE TO MOVE THE HEADREST FORWARD IN THE EVENT OF A REAR-END COLLISION PUTS THE UPPER-BACK REGION OF THE SEAT TOO FAR FORWARD, CREATING A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE REGION WITH LITTLE LOWER-BACK SUPPORT. I FIND THAT MY LOWER-BACK ACHES AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING, AND NEEDED TO LEAN UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING TO RELIEVE THE PAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS UNSAFE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE RESORTED TO PUTTING A BOLSTER PILLOW IN THE LUMBAR REGION, BUT THIS AGAIN PLACES ME TOO CLOSE TO THE AIRBAG, ON THE EDGE OF THE SEAT, AND NO MORE SEAT ADJUSTMENT IS POSSIBLE. I HAVE SEEN THESE COMMENTS ON-LINE AS WELL, AND SOME HAVE BEEN CUTTING INTO THE SEATS TO DISABLE THE HEADREST FEATURE, WITH MIXED RESULTS. I DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE SEATS TO PERFORM THESE ACTIONS SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE IN THE SEATBACKS. I THINK THESE FRONT SEATS SHOULD BE PROMPTLY RECALLED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
