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.
2nd issue since I recently purchased this used vehicle from CA Motors Direct 3/18/23. While I was waiting for my vehicle to be "detailed" the salesman told me on Saturday,the18th 2023 it would be ready on Monday the 20th 2023. I didn't hear from the dealer ship all day so I went in around :4:30 pm and was told it was not ready still. They had me wait over 4hrs. and right before closing the dealership I finally was handed the keys to the car I had not driven at all at this point.
They had my car for the 2 days that I had per the contract to cancel. Plus had me re-sign 2 pages more to include in the contract which I was not given a chance to look over with the added pages. I called the dealership and text the salesman two days later but my calls were not returned until I had the Honda scanned with an OBDII scanner at Autozone which I had trouble getting any reading. When I did get a reading I had a code 61-11 already submitted on a prior complaint. Until then, the dealership would not return my calls. So now I have two electrical issues not even a week later. The dealer has the car back and insists on fixing it even though I was not approved for the loan. I want my down payment refunded per the CA Lemon Law which prevents used car dealers from selling ANY car with an electrical issue whatsoever.
