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 problem is a Honda design/manufacturing issue that Honda knows about and is only covering this problem if the car is in warranty. However this problem does not exist until the car is beyond the warranty period. The estimated cost out of pocket for me is probably $700 -$800! I understand there are class action lawsuits about this issue! Is there a way to get Honda to fix this issue on my car?
