CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Honda Accord has a solid reputation (so far), with one very significant flaw: 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 "never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.
The visor doesn't not snap back into place after used as a sun visor or to hold up the windshield sun screen. It dangles down from the proper position by 2", and since I'm tall, it can block my vision. I looked online and notice that the Honda visor problem is very common. Saw one blogger's note that said it is the opinion of Honda of America that the visor is a normal 'wear and tear' item. That's bull. My 30 year old American car's visors are still working great.
I told my wife that after three Honda vehicles, this is the last. Good bye Honda.
driver's side visor falls down and will not snap back
As other complaints noted, the driver's side visor will not stay up and is broken. This is a problem with Honda vehicles and should be recalled and fixed. I previously has a CRV and the same thing happened. It is very annoying.
