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.

Not sure of the problem is fuse, leakage or other. But definitely, I told the Honda dealership from whom I purchased this as I do not feel AC is cooling as required. I was told it is as per other standard models. Months after this I realize the AC does not work. I am amazed with other comments of no screen and condensor could have caused the leakage. Further, I am appaled it is not cover in standard warranty and the part could be so placed that small debris could fall apart the cooling system. Someone who would know contact points for this to be escalated and heard by Honda will be appreciated. Also, I am willing to join a suit, we can hire a lawyer who could work on percentage basis.
