2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE SEATS ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE THEY ARE CAUSING NECK, BACK AND LEG PAIN. I HAVE TO HAVE THE SEAT LEANING WAY BACK IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR. IF I PLACE IN AN UPRIGHT ALERT POSITION THE HEADREST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A SPARKING NOISE WHENEVER THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 36,000.

BROUGHT A CAR FROM MILLENNIUM HONDA IN HEMPSTEAD. LESS THEN 4 MONTHS NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SERVICE MANAGER REFUSE TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHEN I WENT TO GET IT FIXED. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. SOLD ME A LEMON. MAKING A SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT. *TR

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. *TR

ENGINE TYPE 3.5 I VTEC V6 - THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUITE ON THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE'S WITH THIS ENGINE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK AND CALLED MY DEALER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER NEAR MY WORK THEY TOLD ME THAT A HAD A ENGINE MISS FIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER ONE, THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND DID A ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN THEY WOULD REBUILD THE UPPER END OF THE MOTOR AT THERE COST. THEY GAVE ME A 8 YEAR EXTENSION WARRANTY UNTIL 2018, UNLIMITED MILES FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS FIX WORKS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE CARS, BUT DIDN'T FEEL THAT THIS ONE WOULD BE ONE THAT IT WORKS ON... SINCE IT CONSUMED TWO QUARTS OF OIL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR 3,500+ MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND IT IS RUNNING GREAT. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE % OF THIS FIX WORKING. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY I AM HAVING WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE HEADLINER RIGHT ABOVE WHERE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY SEATS TO GET WET ALONG WITH THE HEADLINER TO BE SOAKED LEAVING A WATER STAIN ONCE DRIED. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 LOST POWER A FEW MINUTES AFTER ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK DRIVER PROBABLY FELT THAT I WAS BEING RUDE AND SLAMMING ON MY BREAKS, BUT I WAS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN HONDA MAKES/MODELS. UPON REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE, THE SHOP FOUND OIL IN ALL THREE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD IS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR MISFIRE AND OIL CONSUMPTION (LEAKAGE). I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND NOTIFIED THE COMPANY ABOUT THE ISSUE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I ASKED IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BOTH STATED THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND "WHY OIL WOULD BE IN THE CONVERTERS". I HAVE USED THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ALL WORK MINUS THE ALTERNATOR (2 WEEKS AGO). A NEW SHORTBLOCK WAS INSTALLED 20K MILES AGO (PART OF THE MISFIRE/OIL ISSUE). MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE SITUATION OF LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATION. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TODAY (AND I DID NOT HAVE A SOLID YELLOW LINE WHEN I WAS PASSING - PRETTY MUCH A STRAIGHT AWAY). I TOLD HONDA AMERICA THEY NEEDED TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ISSUES WITH THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 GOES BEYOND MISFIRE AND OIL CONSUMPTION. I ATTEMPTED TO GOOGLE ACCIDENTS AND ISSUES WITH 2010 HONDA ACCORDS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE (POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 MODELS). *TR

ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, OCCURRING ON ALL FOUR DOORS, THE WINDOW SWEEPS ARE MELTING. THESE ARE THE STRIPS THAT KEEP WATER FROM RUNNING DOWN, INTO THE DOOR WELLS FROM THE CLOSED WINDOWS. THE RUBBER STRIPS WERE REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. LAST FALL, THE NEW SWEEPS STARTED TO ALSO MELT DOWN TO A RUBBERY TAR-LIKE CONSISTENCY. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA ABOUT THIS DEFECT TO NO AVAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SWEEPS AND FOR THEM TO BE INSTALLED. THE IMPRESSION THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE PERSON WAS THAT IN WARMER CLIMATE AREAS THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE NEWER HONDA VEHICLES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER OLDER HONDA VEHICLES IN THE PAST IN THE SAME LOCATION. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX-L ENGINE IS MISFIRING AND BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 35,340. THE ADD OIL LAMP DOES NOT LIGHT UP, TO AT LEAST LET ME KNOW THAT OIL NEED TO BE ADDED. *TR
