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.
THe TPMS light came on, and dealer recommended changing all sensors at tire change. I had them all replaced with Honda sensors. The light, however, comes on at least once a week for 10 miles up to 200 miles. THe issue s that during winter, I cannont tunr off the traction control when the TPMS light is on. There are many times, in slippery conditons, when you need to turn it off in order to pull out/start up safely.
My TPMS sensors is constantly coming on and off. I took my car to a closest dealer from my work. Dealer was able to verify my complain and changed 3 sensors out of 4. I took a long trip appx. 2000 miles. And started to experience same issues. Sensor has started to come off and on again. So I scheduled appointment with my Honda dealer from whom I got the car. He told me that they were not able to verify complain. So right now I'm frustrated. I used my time to take my car to a dealer and since it's the only car in my household I spent money for transportation. I drive 30 miles to work every day and still experience same issues with TPMS sensor it's coming on and off every time I drive.
