CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 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 "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.
When it happened the noise was loud and scary. We are so glad we were not moving at the time.. Our children were sitting in the back seat and thankfully nothing flew inside the car from the trunk. It has been a pain to have to hold the trunk up while trying to place groceries in the back. We do not let our kids go to the trunk, it is extremely heavy for myself or husband to hold up. We dare not let them near it. Please warn other owners of this problem. Thank you.
