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 started seeing this problem during cold start of my car and it's going on for almost an year or so. After calling Honda customer care I was told that the problem is outside of the warranty, though Honda has issued a TSB 09-10 to fix the problem which is replacement of the VTC actuator. The internet is filled with people having this issue.
A local Honda dealer gave me the estimate of $800 to fix the issue as per TSB and said the cost could be more if they find other wear and tear like timing belt and what not after opening the engine.
