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."
There's a 50 -55 mph axle/gear whine on deceleration loud enough to hear. I have contacted the dealer where I bought the car and american honda in Torrence CA and they say this noise is :"NORMAL" for the vehicle.
It makes a $33K car sound like a piece of junk,and it is very annoying since the noise is at 50 55 mph which the speed limit in most places aornd where I live.
The dealer pretend that the problem is tire noise but I have contacted two(2 )different certified independent mechanics that the problem is gear noise. I think that the solution is to fix lash in gear set or replace transmission.
