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.

add sound insulation inside the rear dashboard (1 reports)
So, for the past few months I was noticing at certain frequencies that the rear dashboard emanated a rattling noise that was quite noticeable. It got to the point that I fixed it. There is small wiring in a hard plastic tube near the third brake light and sub that rattles at certain frequencies. Adding sound dampening foam and/or taping it down worked for me. No more sub rattles.
Here is a link to a video of a guy having similar troubles who fixed his similarly to mine.
