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."
This was my second 2010 Honda Accord Coupe, the other being an L4 EX trim model. The rattle came and went from the same place in the EX model as it does in the V6 model. Tried to have it covered under warranty but dealership couldn't replicate the problem, although, they said they knew what I was talking about... Go figure. That irritated me simply because I told them where a problem was and all they had to do was do the fix from the area i located for them. If it is a KNOWN problem, it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
