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.
Bought my car in June. Several days ago, my wife mentioned that when she went out to get in the car in the garage, the windows were all open. Today we went out of town and nearly everytime we got in the car, the windows opened. I dropped by the dealership where we bought the car and talked to a service guy. He said he had never heard of the problem but thought it might be one of our key fobs. Upon returning home this evening, I went out into the garage to get something, as I was leaving the garage, the car lit up like a church and all the windows went down and the sun roof opened completely. I had my fob in my pocket. I took my fob out of my pocket and took my wife's fob out to the garage. Nothing happened, so I wonder if it is my fob? Anybody had the same problem, and how was it fixed?
