Passenger airbag never detects when my son or another preteen close to his age is sitting in the seat. It always turns off/ deactivates. If there was an accident the airbag would not deploy and provide safety for my child or his cousins when inside my vehicle.

Extremely uncomfortable front seats have led to back, leg and neck pain. Honda needs to recall these vehicles and replace the seats for effected customers.

The seat is far from ergonomic including the headrest. There is minimal to no lumbar support. The headrest is angled causing the occupants head to be forced forward in an unnatural position. This has resulted in pins and needle sensation in both arms and legs and multiple visits to my chiropractor. The pain and discomfort last long after i am out of the car leading to sleepless nights.

Seats
Headrest's fixed, forward protruding angle causes me driver fatigue and shape of seats causes numbness. These affect driver reaction and pose risk. I would much prefer the pre-2009 headrests because i was able to stay alert and not have my head shoved forward in an uncomfortable, non-ergonomic manner that causes fatigue within just minutes of driving. Please stand up to the insurance companies.

2012 civic seat issue - i had a 2008 civic coupe. This car was great. The seat, for me was very comfortable. A couple of weeks ago, it was totaled in a car crash and i replaced it with a 2012 civic sedan. The seats look the same as the 2008, but not at all comfortable. My back hurts after just 10 minutes of driving. The seat is hard on the bottom and the back, not curved properly to my back and no matter what…

I commute almost 2 hours to work and then 2 hours back each day. Therefore, i traded my silverado for a 2012 civic for the gas mileage. I bought the car used in may of 2014. It was the second civic on the lot that i test drove. I did not notice anything amiss about either car during the test drives. However, on my first trip home from work i noticed that i felt like my butt was sinking further into the seat and my…

The passenger seat airbag light doesn't turn off, it stays on. The passenger airbag should be off when no one is sitting there but the light stays on. *tr

The seats, particularly the front seats, cause extreme pain in the buttocks and legs. This was not evident during my test drive in another vehicle (same model). But after purchasing the car i am in so much pain after driving about ten minutes that i am seriously considering selling it. I originally thought maybe it was just me, but i now see on line that there are many more people who are having the same issue. I…

Front seat ergonomics are bad! Curves your back forward and head down. The headrest is tilted too far forward and down. It has ruined my back. Visibility front and back is minimal. Can't see hood or car corners. Distance to objects, other cars etc. Is a guessing game. When foot is resting on brake and you step on gas, engine drops to idle. Dealer says this is a safety feature. It's dangerous!!!!!

Every now and then at random times, speeds,etc. The warning light that says "passenger airbag off" comes on. This happens when someone weighing as much as 145 lbs. Is sitting in that seat. *tr....updated 12/15/15 *bf updated 09/01/2017*cn

Car seats are extremely uncomfortable. Absolutely no back support and head rest is way too forward, causing an arch of your back. I have a daily commute to work of 120 miles and every day i feel like my back needs to re-aligned. I have a monthly cost of $340 for car payment and $50-$80 of body re-alignment. Manufacture should have a disclaimer on these vehicles.
