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 been noticing some kind of noise coming from the brakes, lights and sudden vehicle turning in the middle of the road. Creating traumatic effects on me.I have not received a call from Honda to get this situation fixed.

Rear tire wear consistent with suspension issue. Rear tires with normal tread wear are chucked and causing vibration. Currently running Goodyear Eagle ls-2 tires and this is the second set that have failed in this manner.

'takata recall' recently I purchased a 2014 Honda Accord from a dealership which made this my first car ever. Everything was going right up until 3 months of me having the car. My brakes went out without me knowing because someone from that dealership broke off the little chip that makes the squeaking noise. I took it to the dealer to explain to them what had happen showing them the evidence and they made it seem like I was lying while driving on hwy 16 I ended up having a blowout on the passenger side of my car and messed my front fender up. Two(2)months after that in March I purchased a brand new battery because the battery that came with the car had died out. Prior to that I never knew the alternative was the reason for the battery to constantly die out. On March 15 2018 I went back to the dealership to let them know and even inspect my car when one of the manager came to talk to me he said there was absolutely nothing they could do because my warranty was only 30days. Now not knowing anything about a warranty how am I suppose to know or knew all of these problems were going to happen. When I asked about a manufacturer warranty I was told I didn't have one and they were not going to help me with my car. May 10 2018 my friend found out she had a recall on her starter and went and got another one. Now when I locked up the Honda recalls I seen there were two: One for the battery and the second was for the starter. I contacted the dealership again leaving voicemails after voicemail until I couldn't take it anymore and just went up there. As I walk in I asked to speak to the person who was in a hire position. As we are talking he ask me how long I had the car, how many miles, and the question of all when is your warranty expired. After he found out the warranty was expired there was nothing he could do for me. I pay 400 and haven't had the car for a year yet.

The tire pressure light keeps coming on. I'd bring my car into the dealer to check my tires, re-inflate my tires and reset the light, and the light would come back on a couple of weeks later. This has happened repeatedly. I'm tired of taking my car every time this happens, and having to check my tires seemingly all the time.

Vibrating and out of balance sound since date of purchase. Dealership would always claim they could not "recreate the noise" even though I sat in the car with the tech and he acknowledged there was a sound. They changed their minds a few times and kicked different ideas around of what it was until coming to the idea it was the tires and they're not responsible. Tires were changed and still has a vibration. Tire tech at discount tires showed me a slightly offline wheel that has been the issue since day 1. Honda must use defective parts on their cars. Anything to turn a profit I'm sure, and at someone else's expense and safety.

When braking, the vehicle sometimes decides to spontaneously, violently, and unexpectedly take control and lock-up the brakes causing the passengers to be thrown forward and the vehicle to stop in a manner not expected by following traffic (or the driver). This puts the vehicle and passengers at risk of rear-end collision. This seems to occur when the vehicle perceives a nearby object as a hazard (ie vehicle ahead might slow to turn right, , vehicle in next lane appears to be traveling at a much slower speed, when changing lanes to pass a slow-moving vehicle in the lane driver is departing). This has happened on at least four occasions in the last several months. I see at lease four similar cases filed on the NHTSA site (10892728, 10895657, 10521912, 10503138), also in 2013 and later Honda Accord.

I bought my Honda Accord new and have been the only driver. In our first snowstorm this year, I noticed I had tremendous difficulty moving forward, even on flat surface, within my own culdesac, with very little snow on the ground. Despite the car having less than 20,000 miles and original tires, I was surprised how badly the tires performed in mild snowy conditions. I made a mental note to get new tires, although quite disappointed that I felt that need with a relatively new car unfortunately, the next snow hit before I bought new tires. I was in my own neighborhood, a few blocks from my house, making my way to a major street with a mild decline. The road was slick, but I noted that the other cars did not seem to have any difficulty stopping, etc. As I began the descent down the hill, I noticed my tires were not giving my any traction, and I began sliding uncontrollably down the hill. I collided with a car on the intersecting street due to, I believe, very poor tire performance. A new car of this caliber, in my opinion, should have adequate traction ability for at least the first 20,000 miles. My car is, likely totaled, I am injured, the other party's car is badly damaged and I imagine she suffered injuries as well. I am deeply disappointed in the performance of this vehicle. When having my car serviced over the past year, I was never advised that the tires were inadequate.

While driving on freeway in light traffic and good road condition, heard a short rumbling sound and then saw tire rolling out from rear mirror. A few second later tire pressure warning sign shown. This happened all within 10 seconds. Since located just near exit, I drove off and parked on side. I found one rear tire was completely rip off. There had been no any sign of tire issue before. Car is a few months new and tire comes with new car purchase just about 7500 miles. Brought car to Goodyear tire store for warranty work and was told I must bring tire to claim warranty. Wheel with remnant of tire won't be enough.

Tire pressure light constantly goes off. I go to Honda everytime. Never seem to be able to fix the issue. I've been told that some sensors don't work but they still haven't fixed it.
