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.

Takata inflators, no incident, but, the warning from Honda is there no recall ready and at same time warning to not have a front seat passenger due to a defective bag causing injury. We are a couple so theres always a passenger who is over 6ft and must sit in tbe front. This delay in repair is unacceptable.

"takata recall". the initial notice is dated May 2016. It is now 4 Nov 2016 and I have not received the second letter with recall repair info all indicators state that Honda has yet to do anything about this. Yet I am supposed to avoid having any passengers in teh front passenger seat for all this time" this is rendering this vehicle useless for the intent of having it as a family car. Period! this is unacceptable from an auto manufacturer of any kind, much less one as large as Honda. I see there hasn't been any suspension on me paying for the vehicle but when there is a serious safety hazard, then we are to just sit back and take it" this is how class action lawsuits start. I am expecting that someone should be able to do their job, come up with a plan of action and actually get this fixed. The issue is completely unacceptable!
Takata recall. Nothing has happened so far thank god. But I believe sufficient time has passed since the recall notice and there is still no solution for my recall. They advice to not have anyone on the passenger side as they could potentially be harmed by this issue but how much longer am I supposed to keep this up? this is a two door car so imagine the hassle of asking people to ride in the back. This is a huge inconvenience. I don't feel safe driving on this conditions, is there anything that can be done to speed up a solution or any other alternatives. I've considered to return my car if that's what it takes. Provided they pay a fair value for it since my car is already paid off.

Takata recall my vehicle has been out of commission for over 5 months. The air bag installation was scheduled after 2 months, but then a part was broken during installation and I have been waiting for a part ever since. How long is a reasonable amount of time for repair?
