Replying to: timdac11 (Mar 09, 2009 9:16 pm) I have purchased a 2009 honda accord and the drivers seat is killing my back, I've spent 100:00 dollars on various cushion without success. I've meet several people who have no problems with seats. What is the problem? Anyway I tried to trade my new accord for a new camry and was going to lose a lot of money for a lesser car. Did the modification to the seat help in the long run? I would be interested in doing the same thing. Did you also have problem with this irritating tire noise.                                                                                 Thanks Jazz Replies to this message: michael91 (May 17, 2009 6:16 pm)

I have a 2005 Accord EX-L with 82,000 miles. The driver's seat is uncomfortable if you do much road driving. When you use the manual lumbar, the bulge is really uncomfortable. I had heard before buying this that Honda was not known for comfortable seats. There is not enough padding.

Replying to: temj12 (Mar 21, 2009 12:13 am) I had heard before buying this that Honda was not known for comfortable seats. There is not enough padding.   On the contrary, the Accord has been praised for it's seats. I have the 03 EX V6 (with leather) and I love the seats. Just the right amount of bolstering, so I don't slide when taking a hard corner. There is plenty of padding, it's just not pillowy soft like a Camry seat. I don't want my car seat to feel like a Lazy-boy. I made a quick trip to Biloxi this morning (300 miles), and I was very comfortable. If you wanted your car to feel like sitting in your living room, you bought the wrong car. Camry or a Buick would more likely suit your taste in seats.

Replying to: elroy5 (Mar 21, 2009 2:51 pm) We have a 08 LX and the seat kills my back on longer trips. Too much for me in the lumbar area. My wifey is the primary driver and it doesn't bother her, so it is ok. As thegraduate said - try them on before you buy- is good advice. I would have been better off renting one for a week to check it out. Oh well, the wife loves it any way. Personally I prefer to drive our 97 Camry with 160,000 miles on it on the longer drives because it has more comfortable seats (for me). Maybe I'm just getting too old and prefer a Lazy Boy The Accord is much more fun to drive though. Maybe someone needs to invent a Sleep Number style seat, eh?

Replying to: icyou812 (Mar 22, 2009 2:09 pm) I found the seats hard but not unbearably so. However, I did find the lumbar support quite intrusive. I don't know why Honda could not configure it like virtually every other mfr., i.e., give the customer the choice of having little or no support or a lot of support. I suspect if they did that, there would be far fewer complaints.
#85 of 128 Honda USA representatives are lying. by dericfic Apr 29, 2009 (7:32 am)
I bought the 2009 EXL V6 a month ago (March 2009). I noticed the really uncomforatble seats after a few days. Then it got worse. My back hurts daily. I called Honda on 4/22/09. the representative claimed that I was the first to complain about the seats being uncomforatble. I to0ld him that I couldn't believe it. Then I went to google and of course there were many complaints. Now I'm really mad. Bad design.

Replying to: viet (Apr 18, 2008 10:26 pm) Those should be best seats. Honda are built to last You have to try BMW or WV seats. If you try BMW sport seats you will be dumping your accord in 10 secs. Lots of honda 2001-2003 year auto trans behind 7/100K miles warranty and people paying 3-4.5K for new one... build to last, huh?

Replying to: jazz42 (Mar 20, 2009 10:36 pm) Hello,   What did you do about it? Did the seats get any better?. I am having the same problem and am very upset about it. I have owned Honda's since the early 1990s and have not have many problems. What is the modification?   Thank you, Michael
#88 of 128 Re: 2008 Accord uncomfortable front seat back [jimplogger] by cchatt Aug 05, 2009 (9:43 am)
I had the exact same problem. I purchased a new 09 LX-P and could not make a 70 minute drive to work without having extensive back pain when I arrived at the office.   With only 500 miles on the car I could not believe Honda would manufacture seats this poorly. After talking with the dealership, they simply pulled another new LX-P in the shop compared the seats, and said, “Well, they are the same on both vehicles, so it’s not a warranty problem.”   Trust me, from now on I will insist on an hour long test drive before purchasing a car … but I digress.   Later that night, and after a couple of beers, I got the “I can do this attitude,” I mustered the nerve to open the seats on a brand new car.   Long story short, there is a convex plastic backing piece that is held by the active head restrain actuators. The convex nature of this piece puts pressure right on your spine and the actuators put the pressure against your back. (If you sit in the drivers seat and pull the headrest towards you, you will feel the back pressure being removed.)   This convex piece is held in place by two wire “hangers” that connect these to the actuators. For the time being, I removed the lower “hanger.” And since then, I am able to drive the car for hours without any pain. But NOTE: THIS DISABLES THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAIN SAFTY FEATURE. I am working with a local fabricator to create a modified “hanger” part that can be replaced on these vehicles which will keep the active head restrain intact and provides comfort for the driver.   All told, the entire modification process took about 15 minutes.   In the next couple of weeks I will upload a video on YouTube which describes the process.
