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 Traffic Incident Feature in my 13 Honda Accord EX-L w/Navi has stopped working. It's not just my car but it's my area here in Arkansas, it works in other areas. I've been in touch with Honda and the selling dealer. The dealer says they contacted Honda like me and no one has a fix.
Honda says it's an FM broadcast issue in my area but don't know who to contact. I told Honda they came up with the feature with someone in my area and Honda has someone there that knows who to contact. They tell me there could be 4-5 different signals, towers or something they need to check. I told them contact each one, go down the list, scratch off each contact until they find someone who has a fix. They said Engineering is working on it. It's been two months, I feel like there has been no effort on their part to resolve the issue. I think they are saying it's free, why is the customer complaining? I don't care if it's free or not, they advertise it as a feature so they need to fix it.
