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."

I bought the car used and it came with a lifetime power train warranty but no other coverage. One month after I bought it a whining noise started that cost me almost $800 to fix. I asked for some lee-way on the cost since I had not had the car but a little over a month but...nope.
There was a slight noise when the engine was cranked that was louder when driving and turning the steering wheel. I actually thought there might be a problem with the power steering pump (or uptake tube or O ring) but on the day that I was to take the car in the battery light started flashing. I made it to the dealership and the service guy said it's the alternator.
I hope that this is the last of the problems for awhile.
