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 2014 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.
Some of the worst factory speakers I have ever had to put up with. They don't have low bass, they crackled a lot even from day one, and songs sound quite flat. I had the entire speaker set and the amplifier replaced. I will be adding a subwoofer down the road. For now the aftermarket ones are helping a lot.
The car's stereo is marketed as a 7 speaker Premium Audio, yet the speakers are horrible and the subwoofer emits almost no bass. I've sat in Acuras, Infinitys, Nissans all with factory stereos and subwoofers and the sound quality is night and day. If you care remotely about how your stereo sounds, this car's stereo is quite inferior. If you didn't know the car had a subwoofer of any kind you'd never know it. For the cost of this car, they really cut corners on the audio system.
2014 Honda Accord LX. The subwoofer is not putting out a lot of sound. The sound is all in the front. If I move speakers to the rear it sounds very muffled. I have tested the diagnostics and set controls as instructed but that did not correct the issue. Has anyone experienced this problem or know how to correct?
