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.
Do not buy a Honda product period! I purchased a used 2012 Honda Accord with 74,000 miles and at 83,000 miles had to replace the O rings in 1-3 because of misfire. Honda will do nothing because they knew back in 2012 that the valves were faulty. The warranty period is over and they won't even reimburse me 1 thin penny of what is cost me to have it fixed. Common sense is if you know you made a faulty product why put an expiration date on the warranty. Second generation owners get stuck with paying for something Honda should be standing behind. Has anyone else had this problem and was it cover under warranty? Their customer service department took a month to tell me they could do nothing for me. I say buy Toyota or anything but a Honda product.
