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.
I am Angie. I am Malaysian. I have bought a new Honda Accord 2.4L on 28/3/2014 with delight.
I have received my new Hoda Accord 2.4L on 28/3/2014 with delight. However the next day, I found out that the rotate wheel indicator, Malfunction Indicator Lamp and the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System Indicator is on. This is a new car right? So I sent it back to Imavest Sdn. Bhd. In Sungai Long for service on 31/3/2014. The car was fixed (so call fixed) on that day. However, the problem came back on 3/4/2014. I took the same action again. Same thing happened on 7/4/2014. I was mad and sent it back. They promised me I can get back my car on 9/4/2014 but not getting any news from the service center. I filed a complaint to them on 10/4/14 and the service manager told me they need to get assistant from the Japanese techinician , as they couldn’t fix my car problem. Finally, they called me on 11/4/14 and told me the car has fixed but they found out another problem. The car is now under power. What the hell is that? I am paying RM 172K to buy a brand new car and now I am getting all the sh*ts. I was getting a replacement car Honda Freed during the period as they still need time to fix my car problem. NO ONE DARE TO PROMISE ME WHEN AM I GETTING MY CAR BACK.I am paying RM172K to drive on a Honda Freed ? Who is going to compensate me during the period? I am wondering what happened to the quality control of Honda? Is Honda quality always that bad? I have no confidence on my new car anymore. Do not know when it is going to create problem again..TILL TODAY 17/4/14 STILL IN SERVICE CENTER..WHAT A NEW CAR !!
