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.

The trunk opens up all bye its self. This has happened multiple times (more than 10) over the past year. I have finally dis-connected the power unlock from the trunk and it no longer opens on it own.
We have had our 2014 Honda Accord for just over one month. All of our family members have been hit in the head by the trunk. The trunk does not stay open on even a modest grade, but does not fall down for several seconds, allowing people to lean into the trunk before it hits them. My daughter required stitches today for an injury to the bridge of her nose from the trunk lid. I have owned 15 cars and have never had one where the trunk lid will not remain up.
