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."

I have a 2009 Honda Accord with 27,000 miles and at the dealer today they told me that I needed new brakes at a cost of over $500. I have always got over 50,000 miles from a set of brakes on all of the other cars and trucks that I have owned. I now find out that there has been a class action suit over the brakes on this car.
2009 Honda Accord was found by dealer to have "no rear brakes" today during a service visit. Per the dealer, Honda changed the brake proportioning for these vehicles so that on the highway, all of the braking is done by the rear wheels. As a result, the rear pads are worn to nothing per the dealer while the front pads are hardly worn at all.
