  Check Engine Light and Repair costs - 2010 Honda Accord
  By capitals1 - October 13 - 10:12 am

  Since this summer, my 2010 V6 Honda Accord has been in the shop for well over 2 weeks. The check engine light comes on and after reading of others experiences, I just drive it to the dealership before it lets me sit. We have spent a minimum of $700 for each repair. Very disappointed and will not buy a Honda again because I purchased it for reliability and going the distance. My old Dodge gave me 250,000 reliable miles and this car starting having issues a little before I hit 100,000 miles.

  Still love it! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By whitegloves - September 8 - 11:54 pm

  Bought 7/2010 for mechanical reliability, thats what Ive gotten so far. Not a single problem there, not even a funny noise. Snappy, responsive engine handles firm and tight. Good visibility compared to others in category. Great family car, roomy backseat/huge trunk. Fantastic sound system but totally unusable at freeway speeds due to Hondas legendary high level of road noise transmission. Also dont like: headlights weak in intensity and range seat comfort = meh no fuel economy data readout headrests from hell (but other brands worse) steering-wheel wrap turning color ever so slightly, developing a dark purplish cast to the original charcoal -- but only I can see it apparently.

  not as reliable as expected - 2010 Honda Accord
  By jmsms - July 4 - 8:12 am

  at 45000 miles began having popping and crunching sounds from the front end especially in hot weather and at 48k took it in to get looked at and was told that the front end ball joints were bad and also that the rear brakes were gone and rotors needed resurfacing. Now reading about Hondas and ball joint failures on the web, but this seems awfully premature. I have not had ball joint issues like this even in cars that I have kept over 100k(no previous Hondas). Some of these failures can be catastrophic. I had thought to keep this car and give it to one of my kids to take to college but now I am not so sure. Apparently a design flaw from what I have been reading.

  Poor Gas Mileage and Oil consumption - 2010 Honda Accord
  By slazar77 - June 27 - 11:00 am

  I have a 2010 Accord V6, and i get anywhere between 14.5 - 15.5 mph. I drive in the city, do not accelerate fast, and only use Shell oil (87, sometimes 89). Tire pressure is always checked. Also, i do burn about 3/4-1 quart of oil about 1,000 miles. The dealership tells me that burning 1 quart of oil between 1,000 and 1,500 miles falls within Hondas guidelines. (Maybe they just changed the guidelines?? No other car seems to have this issue) Anybody experienced same issues. Anybody brought their car to the dealer for an "oil consumption test"? Beware buying this vehicle. Its an awesome car. But if i knew i would get an average of 15 mph, i wouldnt bought something else.

  Hidden Gem - 2010 Honda Accord
  By jrasero23 - April 16 - 4:59 pm

  Odd to say an Accord is a hidden gem, but Honda sells thousands of more 4 door sedans compared to the 2 door coupes, so its easy to overlook the coupe. The coupe is 70% mid size sedan and 30% sports car. No one will ever think the Accord is a sports car, but with its sporty coupe shape, Bentley like back, and aggressive front the coupe looks great. Pair the coupe up with a V6 and you have 271 HP to whip you around. Where the coupe falls short from a sports car is steering which is numb and while the VCM saves gas, acceleration isnt always 100% smooth with the auto. By far the Accord coupe has one of the biggest backs and trunks for a coupe.

  Sexy Beast - 2010 Honda Accord
  By nairad - October 24 - 11:57 pm

  I love this car. This is the first car I have even owned and it has so far been a perfect match for me. It is sleek and stylish with a very fierce look to it. I bought her used and have so far had no problems. She drive like a champion, and I dare say, quite like a mustang (drove one a lot in drivers ed) . This baby is able to take some fast corners without loosing any traction! Great breaks and the dash is very well organized. I can reach out and instantly know where the button Im looking for is. I cant wait to test her out in some snow.

  Honda used to mean quality - 2010 Honda Accord
  By pjinca1 - September 26 - 11:35 am

  Our 2010 Honda Accord has been pretty terrible. From panel gaps you can drive a truck through to the battery lasting less than 3yrs/40k miles. Andd now, the NAV is blank, dead, deceased, it is an Ex-NAV system. Pathetic considering the 3yr/36k mile warranty.

  Cant trust this car - 2010 Honda Accord
  By frustrated2013 - August 3 - 7:28 am

  I have had my 2010 Accord for a little over three years. Just this year, I was told the oil was low so I needed a $125 software update. Within a couple of months, I was stranded on the highway with what Honda says was misfired spark plugs because of the low oil. Spark plugs changed software update re-done on June 1. By, July 7, oil was low again, I added a quart and then again around 2 weeks later. Last night noticed the car running rough, then it happened again. Check again light flashing car feeling like it was going to shut off. Off to the dealership we go....time to get rid of this clunker!!! I am so disappointed. Wish Honda would step up to the plate, Toyota did.

  Honda Accord Reliability - 2010 Honda Accord
  By gimpus - June 22 - 10:03 am

  2010 Accord is nothing but trouble. In t.5 years, Ive experienced all the problems mentioned in the past blogs....oil consumption of 1 qt per 1000 miles is "normal". I purchased an Accord to do the exact opposite of what I am doing now--checking oil levels, spending time at the dealership letting mechanics tell me everything is within "parameters". Now I had to change brakes, deal with AC not getting cool, flashing check engine lights, wheel alignment problems all in 2.5 years. I am a careful driver and 80% of the mileage was on highways. Avoid this car.

  Disappointed - 2010 Honda Accord
  By honda2517 - May 9 - 9:54 am

  I purchase the V6 EX-L early in 2010. Starting at 40,000 the car started to "consume" oil. The dealer says that it is normal to "consume 1 quart per 1000 miles. This is completely ridiculous. People say well oil isnt that expensive, just add as needed. I am concerned about the long term reliability. I am also appalled that all the service people at the dealer say it is normal. This is a company problem and I will not own another Honda.
