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.
My 2012 Honda Accord needs to have the transmission rebuilt. Only 80,000 miles. First time as a honda owner. I am 61 years old, my entire life owned Chevy's....never had a transmission issue. So disappointed.
I got in my car about 10:30pm Monday to come to work and notice that my car wasn't shifting to the next gear the right work. if felt like a little pulling situation and I could hear that it was shifting to the next gear as well. i having to many problems to early. not a happy camper at all
Same story as many others: 2002 Accord with low miles and regular maintenance performed at dealership - transmission needs to be replaced at less than 63,000 miles. Yes, the car is 10 years old and has been otherwise trouble free, but 63,000 is not a lot of miles. The dealership is kind enough to give us a good deal to replace in light of our regular maintenance, but $2400 is still a lot of money and not really much of a bargain compared to Aamco. May be my last Honda.
Update from May 9, 2012: This should be for a 2002 Honda Accord - not a 2012 Honda Accord
