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."

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The car jolts when put into gear and when transmission shifts between gears. Feels like the car is going to stall during transmission shifts during acceleration/deceleration. The check engine light is on and D light is blinking. Required the engine wiring harness and drivers under dash fuse box to be replaced. Honda says the car is not included in recall for this even though Honda has a recall for potential failure with the engine wiring harness connector for the 2010 Accord.
My SRS light came on and when I took it to Honda of fishers in Indiana I was told it would be a $100 just to run the diagnostics and since my specific model of car isn't under a current recall I would have to pay for any repairs needed out of pocket. This doesn't seem fair as my car should have a lifetime warranty on seat belts and related SRS components. I would think they would at least provide a free diagnostics to make sure my airbags will work correctly as part of a safety matter. I found many 2010 Accord were recalled but apparently my Accord coupe wasn't.
