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."
The service manager said 'this is the nature of the colour'
The reasons I disagree are as follows:
1. door panels and bumpers do not show the problem while they are painted with the same colour as that of the hood. fenders, roof, and trunk.
2. The service manager showed me one vehicle that has the similar problem, but I found two other vehicles in the dealership parking lot which do not show the problem.
3. The paint manufacturer's web site indicate this is an example of defect. http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/US/html/visitor/s/trouble/PDSG_Mottling.html
4. many other painting manuals found on internet classify this as a problem in painting process.
Field manager claims that there is nothing wrong with the painting in the pictures.
