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."
Well, there have been mentions of this in the 2008 model year. And its sad to say that the problem still exists in the 2010 model. Says a lot about quality control... The car has been at the dealership a couple times now, and they replaced the glove-box and the metal hinge it locks on to... only to find the problem persists. The dealer will be contacting Honda Canada for this matter. How can a car with quality control problems walk off the assembly line.. Quite a disappointment so far. I will update in near future regarding the resolution/fix offered.
