Loud Engine Knocking When Started Cold
2012 Honda Accord
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

I had a two second grinding noise when I cold started my car. Went to Benson Honda, they said it isn't a normal problem but then told me about another car that was there with the same problem. Then he told me that it's because I didn't come to Honda with my oil changes. I was never told that I could have engine failure if I didn't get my oil changes at the dealership. I bought a Honda for their reliability, but after this one I might have to switch to Toyota. There is a guy at the gym that is having the same problem, and Honda is in denying that they have a problem.
