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."
I was driving and heard a very loud bang that sounded like a gunshot or maybe something exploded around me. Figured out it was the torsion bar that popped in my trunk. Found the torsion bar in the trunk, which one end was broken off and small pieces from a little white clip that I believe is part of the torsion bar assembly. Now my trunk won't stay open and slams shut if you don't hold it open.
