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."
Right turn signal cancel is broken. It is not canceling the signal after finishing a right turn. I have to manually turn it off. It seems like it has two positions. If I put the signal indicator to highest position it cancels after finishing a turn. But if I put it to lower position it does not turn it off. This is so annoying. I never tried to fix this ,because this may need to remove whole steering wheel assembly . That would be a very expensive thing to do.
So I use my turn signals as a standard, every time I have a car in front or behind me, pretty much every turn. I make a left turn out of the parking lot at work and notice the turn signal did not cancel as normal, so I turned it off manually. Turn again, same thing. I figure it must need a full rotation to catch, so when I get home I turn the wheel fully in both directions, yet no clicking noise that typically cancels the turn signal. I check and all the other functions are working with the signal stick (high beams, etc) except for the cancelling. If I want to have this fixed, it involves removing the steering wheel to access the part. Any other have this issue?
