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.
There is a banging noise in the rear of the vehicle when going over bumps/railroad tracks/pot holes. Can hear noise mostly on right side but also comes through center of vehicle too. Went to the Honda dealer. They removed struts, mounts and installed wireless chassis ear kit. Installed new struts and mounts. I went back again in August 2014 same problem. WHAT COULD BE WRONG? IS THIS THE WAY HONDA BUILT THIS CAR?. Please help.
