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."
Engine got overheated after 2 hours of driving. I checked coolant level after engine got cool down and it was low. Saw some coolant marks on underside of the hood. I drove back home safely after adding some coolant to the radiator and did not see any visible leakage for couple of days. Then I took the car to honda dealership in Manhattan,KS (Little Apple Honda). After checking the car (I really do not know whether they check it thoroughly or not ), they said they cannot find any coolant leaks under the hood. Then I took my car back home and drove it without any problem for a day. But again car starts to leak coolant and I am going to take it back to the dealership for another check. With only 75k miles on the car, this is not what anyone expects. This is my second honda and I will think more before buying another one again. Will post updates later.
