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 I took my car in for this problem it was because of more than one problem. But they told me that they took picture and that the Honda service place would look at the pictures and get back with them. Well they did just that. I was told that they didn't have any other customers with this problem. So in order for me to get it fix, I would have to pay half of the cost in which is like a hundred and fifty dollars. Well keep in mind I have only had the car for 2 months now so why in the hell do I have to come out of my pocket for something that is not even my fault this is a lot of BS!!!
