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 left my sunroof open 2" to prevent the car from overheating inside. It was starting to POUR DOWN RAIN. I pushed the button to close the sun roof. Instead of closing the roof, it OPENED all the way, & when I pushed the button to close it, it slid shut & right back open again! I COULDN'T GET IT TO STAY SHUT & it was starting to rain harder & harder. After I started backing up, it finally stayed shut. I am scared to use my sunroof now. I hope to get it to the dealer asap. With my luck, it will work just fine!!! No more Hondas for me!!!
