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 was driving as usual to work on I-405 with 55-60M/H speed and suddenly heard a blast, like somebody shot me through window. I was in such a shock that almost lost control of my steering. But somehow managed to stay in lane. As my office was pretty close, I decided to inspect what happened after reaching there. However, while driving to office, I continued to be scared and in trauma and could also hear air coming in the car. By the time I reached office I had a hint that something is wrong with my sunroof, or it is open. After coming out of my car in the office parking I saw this huge hole in the sunroof glass. And pieces of glass shattered in the sunroof flap. Because of seattle's dark cloudy climate, I usually keep my sunroof flap open for some light to come into my luck, this morning it was closed. Otherwise, my four months old almost lost her mother or I could be miserably hurt with tiny glass pieces. Following day on Saturday,12/31/2016, I called local Honda service manager, and he said it will cost me $770 for fixing the sunroof. He said Honda will not cover it because the sunroof glass had warranty limited to 3 years and 30,000miles which is expired. So, indirectly Honda said, we will keep on supplying faulty sunroof glass. If it explodes within warranty period, we will at the least cover for it. And if your warranty is expired and you die because of it, we don't care. Also, Honda said that I cannot get sunroof glass fixed before Tuesday, 1/3/2017 because they can't get the glass ordered before Tuesday as everybody including Honda are vacationing for new years. As there was snow storm warning on 12/31/2016 and my husband was out of town, I in severe cough and cold had to rush to nearest lowes with my 4 months old also coughing, to get a tarp and duct tape, so that I could seal the sunroof and protect the car's interiors.
Complainant was driving a 2010 Honda Accord on interstate highway, traveling at approximately 65 to 70 mph when original equipment sun roof shattered with a very loud burst. Complainant did not witness any object hitting sun roof, nor did sun roof have prior damage at the time of the incident. The shattered glass from sun roof began to enter the passenger compartment, landing on driver and occupant in front passenger seat.
We were driving on a empty street at 35 mph about 88 degrees and sun the shining and no pedestrians around. We heard a loud bang and looked for some indication or more noise. Nothing except the sunroof had shattered with the center hole bulging out. We were lucky the shade was closed or everyone could have been covered in fine glass shards. I hope Honda covers this because in my professional opinion it was not caused by an exterior impact.
The moonroof glass on my 2010 Honda Accord spontaneously exploded while I was driving down the freeway. Nothing hit it, there was no wind or unusual condition of any kind. One moment, normal driving, then a sound like a big firecracker exploding in the car, then I looked up and about one quarter of the glass was gone out of the center, the rest was shattered into a million pieces but still hanging in place. More glass has broken loose and fallen down and the hole grown bigger over the past day. Though most of the glass broke into safety glass-like chunks, there were some fine slivers in the passenger area that were sharp and difficult to clean up.
The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. While driving at 50 mph, the sunroof suddenly broke causing glass to fall inside the vehicle and cut the contact on the shoulder. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership for glass replacement and the dealer stated that they had never seen such a failure before. The current and failure mileages were approximately 400.

My family and I were riding down the interstate in our new Honda 2010 Accord. My 2 daughters were looking though the moonroof at the plane flying above. All of a sudden, a hold blew out of the moonroof. The glass blew out--not in. Nothing hit the glass.
