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 go in for a car wash and they tell me to put my car in neutral and let off the brake (car wash uses a track system that "pushes" your car through the wash. Low and behold, when I shift to neutral and let off the brake, the car starts rolling backwards!!! Multiple attempts to stop this fail and I immediately take it to the dealership and they are able to reproduce this 100% of the time. As they go though my info, the car is no longer covered by warranty and I am stuck with this problem or a $6k+ fix. Piece of crap honda's now a day's, ALWAYS with transmission problems!!! (3rd Honda so far).
