Starter Not Working Properly
2014 Honda Accord (Page 1 of 3)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

My 2014-ACCORD-LX, 43,000 miles, had issues of starting trouble for few weeks. One day vehicle was completely dead, and I thought battery issue, called AAA. The Technician checked battery life and asked me to replace the battery. After changing battery I also faced same issue. And within a week again the car was completely dead. Called AAA towing service, took the car to nearest Honda dealer, because not sure about the issue and I had the transmission warranty. After the inspection, they told its started issue and quoted $875 for replacement and not cover under transmission warranty. $431 for spare and $375!!! for labor.
I have no choice at time... PAID. Later checked other reputed service station estimations, labor charge was $100, max. Raised this issue to Honda customer care, and they doesn't care anything about issue and told me starter is a wear part and need to replace every 40K miles???. And Honda doesn't control the dealer's service cost!!!. I can see the forums, so many customers are facing the same issue, but Honda doesn't care about their reputation or reliability. I don't know, how are we believing that Honda is making reliable cars and who is rating this? If there is a system to raise the reliability issues, I can file a complaint.
