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.
This problem happens when almost all the lights on the dashboard light up. FCW (Forward Collision Warning), LDW (Lane Departure Warning), power steering light, traction control light all turn on at the same time. I'm really not sure what caused this. Ever since I have the car, this issue happened around 5 times total.
Still annoying when this happens because I lose traction control, no VSA, no FCW and no LDW. This problem won't go away unless the car is restarted. I would think this is a software issue.
