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."

reprogram TPMS and replace rim and/or sensor (1 reports)
The front drivers side tire continually loses air pressure and requires air to be added. It occurs about every 45 -60 days. Have had the dealer check it out and they find no problem. I believe it is causing the uneven and excessive and wear on the front tires.
Second problem related to TPMS in two months. This time the Low Tire Pressure Light came on for no apparent reason. All tires at 37 psi. No reason for light to come on and stay on. Will probably need a TPMS RESET and possibly a TP sensor.
The only real problem I have with LOW PRESSURE or TPMS warning is that it automatically disables the VSA OFF action which is useful if not required in winter up in Canada.
I have this s stupid light glaring on my dash for too long. It is glaring "TPMS". I have taken it to the dealer 3 times with no problem found and they reset it, but it turns right back on after 50 miles driven. No fix!
