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."

7 months after purchase all molded body parts(both bumpers and truck panel changed color to a darker shade). Honda rep said he could paint with no guarantee. He said they

did not have a problem and was very unprofessional. Just from this web site I see others have the same problem.

The dealership said that all white cars today discolor on both of the bumpers. My dealer painted both bumper, rear trunk panel and he said he did the mirrors. there was little improvement to the bumpers no change to the rear trunk panel and mirrors.Any plactic part discolors.
