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 mentioned the Transmission as Automatic but it may be CVT also as I am not expert of transmission. It has P, R, N, D, D3 & L.
The car is in Saudi Arabia and purchased from Saudi Agency. In March-2018 one day I started to drive the car with "D" but when accelerating, the gear became neutral after little movement of the car and engine speed goes more than 6000 but the car is not forwarding. Then after some time suddenly experienced a jerk and shifted to some gear and car was running.
This type of incident occurred frequently during starting time of the car. I drive the car in this way about a week. Then one day the car not even started to move. I kept the car left 1 day without drive (no way). Next day Tried to drive manually with "L" and it was working. I went to mechanic and they changed the Gear oil and Filter. After that it became OK for 1 day. We drive about 100 KM without problem. Mechanic told us to change the gear oil again after 1 week.
After that the problem again came with more one day after. Now again shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear is not working properly. Sometimes became neutral, sometimes suddenly shifted to 2nd gear with a more bigger jerk than before and after that no problem, car can be drive with maximum speed.
When driving in the city this condition came multiple times. Sometimes fear shifted with jerk and then the transmission indication in the dashboard changed fro "D" to flashing "03" but car is running.
I shall change the oil after 2/3 days and will check the result.
