Bought accord 2011 se on july 22. After first week of ownership, I found it hard to adjust the driver seat to a confortable position. It started giving me either leg pain or back pain or shoulder/neck pain. The seat feels so hard and impossible to find a good position to drive for more than 10 min. Thanks to the power seta, I kept adjusting the seat while driving but could not find a good position. Called honda, they asked me to call dealer. The dealer advised me to trade in the car.
