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.

2012 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to transmission malfunction. The consumer stated placed the vehicle in park, engaged the parking brake, with the vehicle still on, as his wife was sitting in the passenger seat, with the air condition on. Five minutes later, the vehicle started rolling down an incline, and went through a fence. The consumers handwriting is illegible.
