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.
My brakes froze! Honda Motors is aware they have brake problems. Again they only put a bandaid on a very serious problem. When this problem occured the steering wheel almost pulled out of my hands. It was a violent pull to the left. I could have been the Master Cylinder or a siezed caliper. They replaced both front rotors. They should have done more. This car is a death trap. I will trade it in for a diff. manufacturer I will never buy a Honda again!!
