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."

The two catelletic converters are broken at the same time" The part guy said 1 is broken and the other just isn-€™t working. How can this be on a car that has less than 125,000 miles"
Passenger air bag keeps going on and off. There is a electrical problem with the front and back locks. The vct actuator has gone bad on the car which cause it to make a loud rattle noise. There is also something under the car that's loosen underneath the car when you make a turn you hear a knocking noise.
The stock stereo will make a popping electrical noise and the stereo will stop working. Sounds like a person is banging on the trunk. If you turn the car off and back on the radio will work until the next episode. The radio stations usually stop before axillary jack. The cd player stopped working in 2018. Never had these issues in my 2005 Honda Accord.

Driving at highway speed with cruise set at 60; braked & slowed to exit onto another road; when manually accelerating to get up to speed initially the car was unresponsive. Suddenly it took off out of control, as if the cruise resume was hit (it wasn't) and the brakes were non-responsive. Acceleration continued until reaching speeds over 70 mph. Not only were the brakes non-responsive during this unexpected acceleration event, but the car was difficult to handle. I purchased this car new and it is immaculately maintained.
Driving at highway speed with cruise set at 60; braked & slowed to exit onto another road; when manually accelerating to get up to speed initially the car didn't respond to acceleration. Suddenly it took off out of control, as if the cruise resume was hit (it wasn't) and the brakes were non-responsive for several seconds. Acceleration continued until reaching over 70 mph. Not only were brakes non-responsive but the car was difficult to handle. I purchased this car new and it is immaculately maintained. This was my first incident and was very scary.
SRS light comes on and off took my car to Honda and was told not to worry about it. I had air bags replaced last year. I hope nothing hazard happens to me or others while driving this vehicle.
Car is burning through oil much faster than normal. Honda agreed that this is a known problem, but since it is not an official "recall" they did not inform customers. They refuse to cover the known problem since the 2010 Accord was built in 2008, and the warranty covers 8 years.
While driving the odometer shows a warning that the fuel cap is not sealed I can clear the warning by changing the odometer setting but it reappears shortly thereafter. This is sometimes accompanied by a check engine light. Took car to Honda dealer who reported that the check engine light was from the fuel cap warning. They replaced the fuel cap but less than a day later(approx. 50 mi.) the warning has reappeared
Car acts like it doesn't want to take off, then stalling while driving, it sometimes starts to jerking. When pressing the accelerator it doesn't want to accelerate. I sometimes pull over to turn the car off to see if it would do better if I restart it, but then it starts acting like it doesn't want to crank back up.
Excessive oil consumption. The car began grinding and had no oil registered on the dipstick after 1000 miles following an oil change. This happened multiple times despite using high mileage oil and getting oil changes more frequently than recommended,
