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.
So my mom's 2013 Honda Accord EX was working normally at her 90,000 mile check a week before, then when she was driving 45 MPH on snowy roads, the check engine light came on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer when we got the bad news that the catalytic converter had gone bad. The warranty sadly was only 8 years or 80K so we had to pay full price to replace it. To me this is ridiculous as Honda's are known for reliability and clearly this car is a clunker!
