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."

Takata recall. First Honda recall letter in Feb, 2018. "I-79" Honda supposedly fixed the problem on March 5, 2018. Second card-letter received May 20, 2018. I called the dealer (I-79 Honda), and they said yes, inflator needed to be replaced (again!!). what's going on here"?"
I have a broken airbag sensor wire under my front passenger seat. The wire broke on it's own from simply moving the seat for my daughter to get in the back seat. Honda wants over $400 to replace this and claims the wire looks to have been cut. However I am the only owner of this vehicle & never cut this wire. I took the car tp another auto shop who gave me their opinion the wire simply broke thru normal use. I believe Honda needs to repair this at no cost as it's a safety concern & now the airbag light stays lit up at all times & I don't know if the airbags will work in an accident. I contacted Honda again today about this & even with the opinion of an auto shop they are saying they can't help since the vehicle isn't under warranty.

Takata inflators: People; how long has this been a problem" it's at least two years old and I just got notification this past Saturday, February 24, 2018. This has been a serious safety problem and I am totally upset in first believing my car was not affected by the recall, and now this. Does Honda realize how many miles I've driven with my wife in the passenger seat, subjected to the possibility of this inflator blowing up? why? I want to know why it took so long for Honda to get around to my vehicle? why???" I have been encouraged to make an appt. Asap online with any dealer. They don't take online service scheduling for this recall.T this recall is campaign # bok, if that helps you.
I notice that my Honda 2010 Accord is on list for airbag recall list for takata inflator. With numerous attempt to fix my airbag with del, they keep telling me that my VIN is not on the list for recall. I cannot understand why my car is different from other 2010 model. How long do I have to drive with potential life threating airbags in my car?
Takata recall- I tried to get an appointment with a Honda dealership in towson, Maryland and they won't give an appointment because my VIN is not listed as requring my car to be checked for the airbag.
Takata recall I bought my 2010 Honda about 4 years ago. I was recently informed that the airbags are defective and I scheduled an appointment to get it fixed. I would like to be part of the settlement.
The SRS light has been on in my car for 4 months. I have received a recall notice but the dealer states it is not related to the SRS light being on. However, I've been told my airbags won't deploy if I am in an accident.
The airbag symbol keeps coming on and going off. It does not stay consistently but it annoying enough to know that something is defective or not working properly. Picture attached.
