When I was rear ended at a red light the drivers seat fell back wards and now the seat is not stable. It concerns me that the seat went back on its own upon impact.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2013

The noise coming from the passenger side under the glove box when the air is on is annoying and pretty loud. The radio can't even conceal the sound at low volume. Likewise, the glove box isn't latched According to the lines of the dash (1 cm gap). The glove box moves and rattles. The seat also rattles and shakes when going over any surface whether highway or city streets. . . These noises are just too much. The car is 09 not 1988. Actually 1988 probably wouldn't have all these problems. The deal said the air noise is normal??? sorry it's not normal to not be able to talk to someone because the car feels like it's breaking down and noise is coming from every direction.

Power driver side seat slips in track randomly. Feels like it is not locking in track as it should. Sometimes happens when adjusting seat. Other times will happen when braking. Occasionally can find spot in track where seat will constantly slip front to rear and back again.

9 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2010

This complaint is regarding the seat rails for 2009 Honda Accord. Aside from the rails providing a bumpy adjustment via the power controls, the seat itself lunges forward and backward during braking and acceleration. This experience leads one to believe that the seat is not properly attached to the frame of the car which creates a dire safety concern. In the event of a crash, will the seat dislodge?.

Honda Accord 2009- driver side automatic seat adjustor/tracking system is malfunctioning. Every time we adjust our seat forwards or backwards it bumps hard several times.

Purchased new 2009 Honda Accord, front passenger seat is loose, not secure to auto frame, fear seat will dislodge in accident.

14 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2009

The driver seat is terrible, very bad. Need to file a class action law suit against Honda for making such a car. I have spent lots of money in x-rays, mri, CT-scan of my low back and hip and am taking over 12 medicines a day. Still the pain is very bad when I am in the car. I think this is a way Honda is making more money as I will be force to sell it at way less and take a loss on it and then buy a new car. I am now afraid to buy Honda again.

15 Seats problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2009

The driver seat is very uncomfortable to drive. The seat design is kind of pushing and putting pressure particularly on the lower back and causing too much back pain even driven for less than 20 miles. The seat design is also causing neck pain. Did not complain till now because thought it was design issue rather than safety issue. When driven even for few hours (less than 2 hrs), causing a lot of back pain. The steering wheel is not properly designed to hold it causing bad shoulder pain when drove for few hrs, particularly the lower spokes are designed to resemble the Honda logo 'h' which prohibits the driver to hold the steering wheel either at the bottom (or) at the outer end of the lower spokes which has very less space to hold the steering wheel.

The mechanics of this car are great, the problem is the seat and how terribly uncomfortable it is and the tremendous amount of back pain it is causing. It is not safe to drive in this much pain because of poorly designed seats. I am putting in the date of incident as a month after car was purchase as the seat issue was noticed right away.
