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."
The 2010 Honda Accord is my 4th Honda. Although I loved my prior Hondas, I am scared of this one. I nearly lost control of the vehicle once and my wife had the same problem twice. I had to suddenly steer away from a vehicle to avoid an accident and I had a difficult time maintaining control of the car. The seats are also very uncomfortable for long drives.

I do not believe my next car will be a honda.
