Accord EX

  • 14,000 miles

I purchased a 2003 Honda Accord EX in October of 2002. I noticed when leaving the dealership that my seat looked like someone with black pants had been sitting on the seat wet. I chose to ignore my initial gut, and drive my beauty off the lot. As months went by, the color started to darken and the back of the seat as well as the bottom, was turning blue!! I thought is it the jeans I have worn in the car. No, the jeans are 2 years old and have been washed at least 200 times!! I took my car to the dealer in August 2003 and told them about the problem and had them replace my seat back cover under my warranty. Within 2 months, the blue color was back! I went back to the dealer and they informed me it was something I was wearing because their leather doesn't turn like that and that they would not replace it again under warranty. They had never seen anything like it. Well, me either!! My jeans weren't turning my mom's seat of the same color blue! Again, they felt like they had already done way too much for me. The leather in the new Accord's is shit! It is cheap and now I have to drive around with a blue butt and have for well over a year. They said to scrub your seats at least once a week. I paid for a car with leather interior because it is a luxury, not a weekly cleaning ritual. Has anyone dealt with this? I think Honda is in for some major recalls on everything! If we pull together we can take them down!
