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 car has been having electrical issues with the windows opening and closing but I honestly thought I was doing something wrong. For example, maybe hitting the button while it was in the baby bag somehow. But the door locks are the real problem. I've been to Honda but they are unable to replicate the problem so cannot figure it out. I cannot keep giving 6 hours every Saturday for them to "try" to figure it out. The last time I was there they forgot I was sitting there waiting for 2 hours WITH my baby and hadn't even taken my car back!!!!
I keep trying to figure out the issue because on the date of the issue listed the FIRE DEPARTMENT had to come and get my son out of the car. I put my son in his seat, put the baby bag in the car, closed the back door and went to walk around to the front and get in the driver's side. Then, poof the doors locked and my infant son was locked in a hot car. I'm so scared of this car locking my kids in it that I wear my keys on my body at all times now. The windows opening on their own is a pain especially during bad weather. I wish Honda would step up and offer some sort of solution for this.
