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 daughter was driving her 2010 Honda Accord 2 Door Coup car when she said she heard a squealing noise and the steering wheel would not turn. Her car went off the road and crashed into a tree deploying the air bags. She and her passenger were transported to the hospital via ambulance and diagnosed with minor injuries.
I contacted a local Honda dealer and described the issue. He said it could be a power steering belt or a power pump failure. He also mentioned a failure of the power steering system could be a serious safety issue as the car would be very difficult to steer
