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.
We've brought this car up 5 times already. When will it finally be replaced? How many more times must I bring the car up in order to have the sensors replaced. Not sure if I would recommend this car anymore to anyone. It's embarrassing having to tell our friends our new car is still not fixed. We are running out of days to take off to bring the car in to fix & reset. It's an inconvenience to have to bring 2 cars because we have 3 babies that need to be able to fit 3 car seats. We have put so many miles on the 2 new Hondas just to bring it up. Not to mention the Gas, Tolls... Days off... What a hassle... For a new car this isn't worth it. I expect this issue with used cars not new cars. It's not like the car cost us $1 it's crazy that you pay so much for a brand new working car & then you have to bring it in for something this small?
