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 took car with 5 different small issues + the sunroof. I was told it would cost me $50 PER ITEM to check out; additionally the service manager told me she would call me when she had a loaner car available so I could leave my car for investigation. Service manager never contacted me. I wasn't thrilled at the idea of paying $250 for someone to just look at an item. I have a feeling most of the issues have to do with a loose connection
