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."

Used to love Honda.....Not a Fan! Premature wear on rear brakes due to the Electronic Brake Distribution. Honda will only reimburse you for $150. of the repairs after you have paid out of pocket and send the receipt in. Ridiculous! Brand new 2010 car with only 15,000 needing rear brakes is a JOKE!
Surprised my 2010 Honda has a rear brake problem. After some research I realized Honda has had some rear brake problems for the past few years. I spoke with a Honda Service Manager today and was told I may be replacing my rear brake pads ever 15,000-20,000 miles. The service manager advised me that there is a current Class Action Lawsuit involving premature wearing of the rear brake pads. I was advised to keep good records of the maintenance I have done on my NEW vehcile! I'm very disappointed at this point and will let other people know about the problem I'm having.
I had a 1999 Honda Accord for 11 years prior to buying my 2010 accord and I never replaced my rear brake pads. When I sold my 1999 Honda Accord it had 250,000 miles on it.
