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.
I have driven manual transmission cars equipped with cruise controls for well over 55 YEARS. I have even put in aftermarket accessory cruise systems. All would disengage when the clutch pedal was depressed for slowing the car though downshifting. Not this Accord. I could be traveling at 100 k and go all the way down from 6th gear to 2nd and the car would still be in cruise control, revving @ 7000RPM!
Highly unsafe. Even the latest MT models still feature this madness. I really don't understand how these manufacturers get away with these safety issues. A pox on Transport Canada.
