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.
This is the second time I've had my fairly new 2012 Accord at the dealer for a leak! The first visit was concerning a leaky strut & now it's the transmission. It's a good thing I noticed the leaky spots on my garage floor before the matter got worse!!. I bought Honda because I wanted a reliable car; now I'm having second thoughts. No car should be suffering from 2 leaks within the first 20,000 miles on the car. Very disappointed.
