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."
When listening to some songs the factory subwoofer causes an annoying rattle from the rear deck. Seems to be coming from factory dvd player in trunk along with the bracket in which it is mounted. Dealership said a bolt was missing from bracket (which they replaces) and put a piece of sticky foam between dvd player and dust cover.... it still rattles on the same songs (we gave the dealership a cd with exactly one of the songs that makes it rattle the most to help troubleshoot it)... our brand new car is still at the dealership
