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 3 year old Honda Accord battery gave out on me. My car has failed to start up on three different occasions once I had my hazards on for about 5 minutes and the when I got back in the car the engine would not turn over (would not start). Two days later I parked went in to get my clothing from cleaners got back in and the car would not turn over the man in the cleaner had to give me a jump with in Brand new Truck. He check my car because he work for AAA at one point and he told me to have my alternator check and the battery.
