CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 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 "never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

Received notice of recall to regarding defect in air bags and indicating I would be contacted to have the airbag(s) replaced. Expected to be contacted late summer/fall 2016. Now March 2017 and have not yet received any notice to replace bags. In the meantime they suggested no one sit in the front passenger seat in car. Would like to see some action to get the air bag replaced.

"takata recall" - my vehicle has been recalled according to the email I received today from NHTSA. It says "no remedy, " but the further statement indicates I should have received my second letter in the spring or fall of 2016. I have not received that letter. I did receive the 1st one, advising to to have person in passenger seat, but nothing after that.

I am writing because it took my dealer over 60 days to give me an appointment for repair. 7/2016 recv'd recall notice from Honda. Stated "Honda will send you another letter when parts become available to repair your vehicle." (they never did). 10/21/2016 called dealership and was told that I was the one that needed to order the part, so I ordered it. Was told the part would be in in late Nov. And I'd be called. Heard nothing from them. Called 12/12/2016 and was told parts would be in that week. They would call me back (confirmed they had correct phone #) and make an appointment. They never called back. I called today 1/3/17 and was finally given an appointment for tomorrow. The dealership is keyes woodland hills Honda, 6111 topanga canyon blvd., woodland hills ca 91367

Takata inflators, no incident, but, the warning from Honda is there no recall ready and at same time warning to not have a front seat passenger due to a defective bag causing injury. We are a couple so theres always a passenger who is over 6ft and must sit in tbe front. This delay in repair is unacceptable.
