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.
Carpet pulled up front and rear several times, fixed under warranty. Never really fixed because recurred. Last time Honda refused to fix and am now having to fight with rep. Very annoying
Update from Nov 12, 2016: finally got honda rep to fix problem under warranty
Update from Nov 12, 2016: Honda will fix under warranty
Absolutely ridiculous that my carpet has come out. In the back right corner panel behind the passenger seat my carpet has come out of the panel and has nothing holding it in besides one panel piece. No glue nothing to secure it? Anything can slide out of a panel.
Nothing happened, just normal wear and tear and the carpet is coming up. It looks awful, the kids pick at it...just ridiculous...I have never had an issue with a car's interior, not something I'd expect from a Honda.
