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 windows all went down at the same level during a rain
After about a year of owning a 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX V6...it was pouring rain..lightning. I went
to go out to my car and noticed all the windows were down at the same level and the moonroof was
open. The inside of the car was wet. I got a towel and dried the leather. I called HONDA..as
it had to be an electrical system problem. They said, no, that it had to happen from the remote,
The remote was in my purse in a bedroom in my home. HOW COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM
I ASKED THEM? They never dealt with the issue, never checked it. All my seats were ok,
except the back right seat where I noticed, later, had a water stain. I was told the water settled
in the seat and there was no way HONDA could fix it except replace the seat at $500. I am
NOT GOING TO PAY THAT FOR A SEAT THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE. (IT, ALSO
DECREASE THE VALUE, DOESN'T IT). TO PAY FOR A CAR AT SUCH HIGH VALUE, $36,000,
I should not have this problem.
