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.

Premature brake wear has been a consistent problem for this Accord generation. Once again Honda settled a class action lawsuit over brake wear, but most 2010 Accords are NOT covered.

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."

Driving down the highway the Accord is very loud. My 06 Dodge Ram is quieter riding down the road at 55mph. On long rides the road noise was very annoying. I have traded it in for another Dodge Ram.

This is definitely annoying, we just bought this car. Honda has been a great vehicle in the past just hope there not getting relaxed in there QA.

Update from Aug 30, 2010: Finally after two trys Honda found the solution. It was a broken spring in the reverse gear fork in the transmission.

My transmission is manuel.
