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.
2011 Honda Accord front left brake making noise (when brake is applied. Noise as if something is shifting. After release of brake pedal and a second or two later as car begins to move another sound in the brakes finally releasing. The service agent at Rick Case Honda in Davie, Florida stated that it could be humidity, and that there was nothing wrong found. I asked about any quality issues reported and he stated none. I did find history on brake design issue for 2008/09 Honda Accord but nothing thus far with the 2011 probably because it is still a new model. This is my second issue with this new car (3350miles) with quality related problem and still no resolution. Will be writing to American Honda.
