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."
Occasionally, but not often, my car will lurch forward when brake is applied. If I am behind another car it can result in a minor dent to one or both vehicles. Engine sounds as if it is running fast. Remedy has been for me to immediately throw the car into neutral. Once at a complete stop, I can continue venturing out to my destination.
Earlier, in previous years when I experienced this problem, I brought my car into a reputable mechanic. He indicated that there is a section on the far left side of the floorboard that if obstructed or touched the problem could exist. I've removed the car mats and try to avoid that section of the floorboard like a plague.
Any other suggestions. Do any other 2010 Accord owners experience this problem.
