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.
The plastic strip at the bottom of the door jam has been gradually arching upward more & more. Thought only flood damage would cause something like that!!!. I park in the shade & in the garage. the whole piece will need to replaced & bet it's not covered under any warranty!! I paid a lot of money for this car and feel this is totally unacceptable! Decided long time ago my next car will NOT be a Honda.
