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.

Came out one morning to go to work and found all four car windows and sunroof slightly opened. The w J nodes and sunroof opened by themselves. Unfortunately, there was a severe thunderstorm that night which rain entered the car. It's a 2014 Honda Accord. I googled the problem and found out that this has been happening going back 7 years that people windows and sunroof were opened without them doing so. It's been occurring in Honda and Acura models. They try to say that we must have done it by the remote; but I don't use the remote, I use the car handle to open the door and the black button to lock and secure the door. I believe this is a manufacturer issue and not a consumer issue.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the gear shifter had a chrome covering and when the sun shined directly on it, it would blind the contact. The contact also stated that she saw white spots and was unable to view what was in front of her. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 9,540.
It was a cold day with wind chilled down to single digits. I took something out from the trunk, got into my car and closed the door. Then I notice that the rear passenger side window glass has been broken into tiny pieces. The whole glass was gone, with half landed inside the car and half outside. The car was parked at the time and there was no one around and nothing that I know of had hit the car door window. The glass just spontaneously shattered.
