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 to work on the sam houston tollway going about 70 miles (with the flow of traffic) in 65 degree weather when I heard a loud sound like an explosion. I could not pull over where I was so I continued to drive. I heard the wind like you would if your windows were down a bit. I pulled the opening of the sunroof (the cover that is inside the car) and I heard the glass. I shut it immediately and drove to work. Upon arriving at work I inspected the sunroof and found no debris that would indicate something had struck my car. I called my husband and he had researched this and saw the article that brought me here to your website.
While driving my car, I re-positioned the driver side sun visor so that it would cover the drivere side window. During the re-position, the visor detached itself from the car. The visor would not go back into the socket, so I had no other choice but clip the right side of the visor into it's socket and allow the left side of the visor to hang. I had to hunch down for the remainder of my commute in order to have full visibility while driving. Once parked, I was able to work with the visor for several minutes to get it back into the socket. The visor cannot be pivoted to the left driver side, it falls every time.the visor can only remain parked or unfolded without detaching itself from the car. I face the sun during my commute to and from work, so not having full access to my visor is troublesome for my vision. I took my car in for an oil change and the dealer said, "it seems fine to me." The problem still exists. I am reluctant to pivot the visor to take a photo because it takes so long to get it back into the socket.
