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.

Accord EXL 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

First heard the thumping sound from the left front tire at 5,000+. Had the Michelin tires checked to see if it was the tires. They were OK . Took it to Honda Dealership in Newnan,GA. They could hear the thumping on some roads, but not all roads? They had no idea what it was. I replaced the tires at 30,000 + miles and to this DATE (1/8/2014) the thumping sound is still there!!
