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.

2013 Honda Accord Owner Comments

problem #2

May 052013

Accord EXL 2.4L

  • CVT transmission
  • 100 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

jerking motion before a complete stop

When slowing down the car jerks forward then backward before coming to a full stop. The only way to avoid this jerking motion is to shift into neutral when slowing down. Very embarassing since my wife and other passengers think I cant drive. I had to trade this car in for the V6 model which has an automatic but I lost 4000 dollars in the process!!

Not fair! Thanks Honda.

problem #1

Mar 292013

Accord EX L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 790 miles

Not sure what they have for this one but they will look into it when I go in for the radio fix.

Update from Jun 6, 2013: They claim it's normal.

Real bumpy acceleration during progressive throttle application.

Oh well. Honda makes great engines.

Transmissions and suspension...not so much
