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 was driving from work home, when suddenly my car lost power and the engine light began to flash. This usually indicates a misfire. I barely made it home on 3 cylinders. I ran a scan to see what codes it will give me, and sure enough cylinder 3 reported a misfire. I changes spark plugs a couple of months ago and did not expect them to go bad. I tried to take the #3 coil out and since nobody in town had a replacement coil, I just took it out of the well and put it right back. To my surprise the car started and did not display any problems. I have owned Hondas my whole life, and every model I owned turned out to be a lemon, either the transmission or something else. I will not be buying another Accord - goodbye Honda, hello Lexus.
