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.

This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stability assist, tire pressure, power steering, and anti-lock braking system warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to metro Honda (540 New Jersey 440, jersey city, NJ) where the technician refused to repair the failures because the contact did not want to pay for the repairs. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist because the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle was not diagnosed because the contact did not want to pay for both the diagnostic and repair cost. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle tire monitoring system warning light was defective. The warning light illuminated when the tires were performing normally; however, the tire pressure monitoring system failed to illuminate when the tire pressure was actually low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The dealer reset the tire pressure monitoring system; however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.
TPMS light comes on regularly. Tire pressure is inflated to specs. Dealer has had the car four times and resets the setting. Service manager informs me this 2014 CRV model has a well known history of this malfunction and they have not been able to resolve the problem. I told him Honda should provide owners with a loaner auto until they come with a fix, but he says they have not authorized this interim solution. Have had the car four months. Too long to drive a car with this serious defect!
