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.

Premature brake wear has been a consistent problem for this Accord generation. Once again Honda settled a class action lawsuit over brake wear, but most 2010 Accords are NOT covered.

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."

The SRS sensor indicator light came on around Sunday 10/30/2016. Took the car into middletown Honda (middletown, NY) for a diagnostic test, they confirmed it was the sensor and that it isn't covered by my warranty. I looked on the dot website and entered my VIN and saw my car doesn't fall under the recall. But there is, in fact, a recall for the SRS sensor in 341,000 other Honda Accord. I called the 1-800 number for Honda, and they told me there is nothing they can do because my car doesn't fall under the recall because of where my car was manufactured. This doesn't seem right, considering the part has clearly failed. As far as I understand, this could possibly cause all of my airbags to fail. I would like this issue to be fixed. I understand that my car doesn't fall under the current recall, but maybe more cars need to be added to this recall. The part has gone bad and I think it should be corrected.

In July, 2016, I received notice NHTSA recall 16V-346 informing me of a problem with the airbags in my 2010 Honda Accord. Called the Honda dealership, gardena Honda, where I bought the car and get it serviced. They said they would order the part and call me when it arrived. On August 20th and August 27, I called to see if part was in, and dealership claimed it was still on order and that they would call me when it came in. I never received a call back. On Nov 2, I called again to the gardena Honda dealership. I spoke with kim, who claimed there was no record of my car being serviced there ( I have brought it 3-4 times a year since purchased in 2010!) or the recalled part being ordered. I asked to speak with the manager. She took my name and phone number, but never received a call back. I am concerned for my safety and that of my passengers due to the defective air bags I will take legal action for any injuries resulting from the defect, which I have tried for several months to repair.
