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.

i removed the 2 black rubber plugs under the trunk (1 reports)
Open my trunk to discover water in the well where the spare tire sits. Took it to Service King and they insisted that I drove through high water. This happened three tines after it rained. I am taking it back to the shop today for the third time. Very aggravating....to say the least.
Whenever I was the car or it rains, water seems to be collected in the trunk lid. The next time the trunk is open water flows into the trunk wetting everything inside.
Update from Feb 7, 2016: The problem was solved by removing rubber from underneath trunk lid.
When you open the trunk while it is raining or after it has rained water pours into the trunk from both the left and right sides. This ruins your clothes and papers and whatever else is in your trunk.
