CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Honda Accord has several serious defects – poor brakes, excessive oil consumption, & uncomfortable seats.
BRAKES: There was a class action lawsuit against Honda in 2010 for premature & excessive brake wear. See our page on Honda's brake problems for more info.
OIL CONSUMPTION: Honda issued a TSB about this in late 2011, claiming it could be fixed through a software update to the VCM (variable cylinder management). There are class action lawsuits pending. See our page about the Accord oil consumption.
UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS: Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight. The common theme we hear is "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

So I've bought my accord brand new 09 had some little problems with it over the past couple of years but that was just dust pasting through. But a few days ago something new occurred! I use my A/C everyday it's all good until i get to a red light and my car Idles. The thing is when I turn my A/C off while idling I feel like my cars struggling to breathe or something and you can hear it in the engine the sound is different. But when I accelerate normally with my A/C on sh*t starts to hesitated like it doesn't want to go like there's some kind of delay that's not connecting or something. You can feel some kind of jerk or vibration. Honda a full of sh*t, hope SOMEONE can help me with my situation sh*ts ridiculous man.
