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."

At 18,000 miles the car rear brakes started to squeak when applying the brakes for awhile the problem would disappear but the car would shudder when coming to a complete stop, now when I drive the squeaking noise continues as I drive and doesn't go away this afternoon Sept. 2, 2010 I have appointment to fix this issue.
At 18,000 miles the car brakes started to squeak but after a few miles it stopped squeaking. At 19,000 miles my car started to shake a bit when I applied the breaks and it then continued to squeak every time I applied the brakes. On 8/20 I brought my vehicle in to have the brakes done at pepboys and they told me my rear brakes had gone through the pad and was tearing into the rotor. My Accord only has ~25,000 miles on it and the front brakes are fine.
I own a 2010 Accord with 11000 miles on it, 9 months old. The rear brake pads are supposed to be worn out and the dealer wont cover it under warranty. I was told that it will cost $199+tax and I had to leave the vehicle with the service station for 3 days for the part to be stocked.
My 2010 Honda Accord is loud when starting, sounds like a race car. It also does not stop on a dime and in fact speeds up as I apply the brakes. Thirdly, the revs are too high and lastly, the gear shifts on acceleration is not smooth at all and sounds like the car is pushing too hard to change gears! these problems happen all the time. I took to dealer month ago saw nothing. Only had car two months!!
