CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Honda Accord some several significant flaws: excessive oil consumption, premature brake wear, & uncomfortable seats.
In October 2013, Honda settled a class action for excessive oil consumption which extends their V6 powertrain warranty out to 8 years & no mileage limit. However, is the inconvenience & risk of dealing with Honda on this problem worth it? We don't think so.
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. Unwary buyers report the seat pain is mainly only noticeable after 15-20 minutes. The common theme we hear is "never noticed this during the test drive."
For the life of me I cannot figure out what or why there are balls or screws or whatever is rolling around in all 4 car doors. When I get the time I will be taking the car to the dealer. Also there is a rubbing sound on the driver's side of the car. It is all getting on my nerves. As soon as I turn a corner, those balls or whatever has come a loose go from one end of the door to the next. And that rubbing or squeaky sound on the driver's side is annoying as all get out. In my opinion these cars were just thrown together. I had not had the car a year and had to take it back and forth to the dealer because of the trunk noise. It eventually got fixed after somebody rode in the trunk to find out where there tapping noise was coming from. Very annoying. The car looks good on the out side but in reality it is a piece of junk. The brakes on the car are making popping and cracking noise and I have only had the car 2 1/2 years. The stripes on the car started peeling last year. I am very disappointed with this car. And believe it or not I have always wanted a honda accord but did not expect my first honda to be a dud. The inside interior light will not stay on. I had a new bulb put in it and it blinks on and off and comes on when it gets ready to. I am just very disappointed with this 2010 honda accord. Very disappointed. I didn't have to have breaks put on my 2000 nissan sentra until after almost 8 yrs, but this car, the 2010 honda accord, the brakes popping and cracking is somewhat embarassing. A big disappointment.
