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."
My 2010 Honda Accord makes noise constantly while the air/heat is on. It also does this up to 7 secs after the engine is turned off. I didn't notice it at first because of the radio but if not playing the radio, there is a constant chirping-like sound coming from vents. Any advice on how to fix this would be great.
I unfortunately purchased this car in the rain. The next day, when using the heater, I became aware of the unbearable buzzing sound that occurs when the heat/air system is on. I have never heard anything like it in vehicle less than 10 years old. It is like a lower-pitched, faster cricket sound, and even the radio cannot drown it out. I took it into the service center, and the mechanics claimed that nothing is wrong with the system. My mother was even able to hear the noise through the Bluetooth phone system. Please advise if there are any possible solutions to this problem.
