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.

Faulty lumbar support in Honda Accord SE 2011. The lumbar support in the above model is faulty and is resulting in serious back-ache to many drivers (online posts can be checked). Even with zero settings on lmbar support, it protudes outsides resulting in back pain to many including myself. This is also a safety issue as due to uncomfortable position and the resulting pain causes the drivers to move and alter positions of sitting, changing the seat settings while driving. The pain also results in taking mind off traffic and whats happening on the road. The issue is sometimes experienced by many on driving more than 30 miles on the first try. Please investigate.
