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 2013 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.
The Malfunction Indicator Light came on again last night (after the "check fuel cap" indicator). I took to the dealer for repair. Midday, I called to check and the service person told me it's the same issue as last time. Two hour later, I am getting a call from the HOnda service department only to be told that they have to replace the entire fuel tank which they have to special-order for overnight delivery.
[side note: I had to get some things form my car at the Honda service department, and when I get to my car, it is literally ripped apart and it smells like somebody spilled a gallon of gasoline INSIDE the car! It's is 3 months old vehicle with 2800 miles on it!]
