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 CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I EXPECTED MORE FROM HONDA. I WILL BUY ANOTHER BRAND AFTER THIS MAJOR EXPENSE ON A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT NEW !!!! WHEN YOU HEAR ANY NOISE IT PAYS TO SEARCH ONLINE TO FIND OUT THE REAL TRUTH !!!
First heard the thumping sound from the left front tire at 5,000+. Had the Michelin tires checked to see if it was the tires. They were OK . Took it to Honda Dealership in Newnan,GA. They could hear the thumping on some roads, but not all roads? They had no idea what it was. I replaced the tires at 30,000 + miles and to this DATE (1/8/2014) the thumping sound is still there!!
