What owners wrote

My 2008 honda accord ex coupe is a nightmare. Trying to use the defroster while warming up car,blower motor kept losing power. Lights in and out of car are still flickering when you have the lights on and cooling fan comes on. Honda says all hondas do it. This is my fourth and this is the only one with this electrical issue. Honda is rude , and doesn't care. Besides pealing paint, bad drivers upholstry,the passenger seat will not stay still and hass a bead creaking sound.

Reported at 702 miles, February 2008 Injury

There is a sharp metal edge that I assume is part of the internal seat frame that has sliced through the seat foam and the seat fabric on the driver's side seat and presses against the body of the driver. No injuries have occured yet, but I don't relish the thought of this being shoved into my shoulder blade if I were to get hit from behind.
