CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2014 Honda Accord is showing signs of an electrical problem with the starter failing soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. It's compounded by reports that the OEM battery doesn't have sufficient amps to start the V6 reliably after a year or two.
For now we are rating this problem with the "Beware" seal because it's occurring so soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. The upshot is when your Accord won't start, that's never good, but especially bad when it's just a few years old.
Also once again, owners are complaining that the 2013 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.
Attempted to elevate the front driver's seat. The seat made a clicking noise and failed to elevate. Whenever the seat was elevated, it would fall out of position, which made it difficult to drive. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
I leased my 2013 LX Honda Accord Coupe. When the lease xpired I bought the car. Yes, I liked it that much. However, there appears to be a design deficiency in the drivers seat; the seat adjustment panel breaks away from the seat; it has now happened for the second time. The first time it happened, I thought it just a fluke and paid about $200 to repair it. That was about a year ago and now it has happened again. It really grates me having to spend $200 on what I believe is the result of a poor design. I'm going to take it into my dealership and see what they have to say this time. Usually they are very accomodating and very pleasant to deal with.
