Starter Failure
2013 Honda Accord (Page 5 of 6)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

The car would never start on the first turn of the key ,issue started from October 2016 , initially was thinking of a bad battery , but even after a battery change the starting issue continued to exist, would never start on the first turn of the key and got it confirmed with the dealer today.
This 2013 Honda Accord LX now has 26000 miles only its going to cost $850(diagnostics 149.99+tax already paid to confirm - ~3.5% of the OTD price I got) for replacing at the dealer. Not sure on the quality tests conducted to prevent failures at this minimum mileage use. Currently looking for replacement at a fair price.
