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."

I had a 2010 Accord, after 400-600 miles I started getting the clicking sound when turning left everytime. I took the vehicle into the dealer the first time and they did not fix the issue. The second time I took it in around 1200 miles. This time they found the issue to be the reverse gear fork. There was an internal spring that had broke. Thankfully it's under warranty, they put a new reverse gear fork in and no problems since. Noise has gone.
Honda Accord 2010 ex 4-cyl manual transmission - vehicle id is [xxx] I went to put the car in neutral as I approached a stop light. It had felt 'odd' leaving the previous light. The clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there. The gearbox locked up so I couldn't shift into any gear. The motor was still running normally. A motorcycle cop came to help me - it was in heavy traffic - and he couldn't get the clutch or gears to work. I turned it off. After about five minutes, I looked at the clutch pedal. A gentle tug and it came back up. I restarted the car and was able to drive it home, a couple more miles, without further problems. The car had 900 miles on the odometer. I consulted an online Honda technician and received this response: "the problem is the clutch master cylinder. There are issues with the rods getting stuck. The dealer will need to replace the clutch master and bleed the system to fix this issue. Have done a few so far. No bulletin or recall yet." I took the car to the dealer (motorcars Honda cleveland). They confirmed this diagnosis and replaced the clutch master cylinder. The service rep also said their cleveland heights service department had also seen the same problem a number of times.
