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.

Most Common Solutions:
can bend the headrest so it is more straight (1 reports)
The Honda Accord headrests are incredibly painful. They are bent forward at an angle of almost 45 degrees, making front passengers and drivers face severe neck and shoulder pain while driving.
The only solution is to replace these headrests with more ergonomic options, or bend the metal bars in the headrest backwards so that the headrest is parallel with the car seat and your upper body, removing the cause of severe neck pain and injuries while driving.
