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 have to make few calls with Honda and they finally paid me for the work. I got them fixed first because they were getting worse everyday. I cannot afford to wait any further so finally got it fixed and brought this into Honda's attention. With few hiccups they finally agreed and send me a Honda Gift card.
Unbelievable! Rear brakes noise and metal to metal on a 23,000 miles Honda Accord, 2010. Brake pads on both back and front were replaced. How can this not be on a warranty! How can this not be a product recall? I am very disappointed. The worst car I've ever owned. You think you get a new car and avoid these kinds of problem. The bad part is the manufacturer hides everything until people complain. I paid for all the repairs and my car was at the shop all day.
I got my oil change in April/May - 2013 and Honda dealer found everything good and brakes were close to 8 on all the wheels. In just 2 months, the rear brake started making noise and then I came across the Honda Accord Brake Recall issue.
A few months ago i noticed that after my car has been sitting for a little while, it seems to make a weird clanking noise when i hit the brakes. When i go to back out of a parking spot, the first few times i hit my brakes it sounds like metal plates knocking each other. It only does it the first few times when i first move the car, but i know its not normal.
