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 sunroof exploded while on the ramp to enter the highway. There were no cars around, no overpasses when I heard a loud explosion sound and then wind noise. Not knowing what happened I pulled over, looked around the car and went back inside and started driving but the wind noise got louder and when I opened the slider a little, I saw that the sunroof had shattered. I pulled over again and called my dealership and without even looking at the car the service person told me that a rock must of hit it. I told him that there was no cars or trucks around me and he said that it must of flew up from somewhere.
As I was driving down the highway at approximately 70mph, the glass in my sunroof burst. There was a loud pop, and then I could hear highway noise. There were absolutely no cars around me and nothing above me, and I had not gone under an overpass. Most of the sunroof glass was gone, and the remaining glass and seal had sunken down into the car and was in a concave shape like it had burst from the inside out.
