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."

My 2010 Honda Accord coupe was making a metallic "squealing" sound when I applied the brakes (and, eventually, after applying the brakes). I took my car to the dealer (union park Honda in wilmington de) to have the brakes looked at and was told that they needed to be replaced "with an updated factory part". afterward I saw the numerous complaints about 2008-2009 Honda Accord rear brake wear after as little as 15,000 miles. My 2010 Accord (which was not one of the 2010's included in the class action lawsuit) had almost identical issues. Also of note is that the rear brakes were at 1mm of material left (out of 10mm), while the front brakes were at 7mm (out of 10mm), so this would not indicate wear due to driving conditions.
