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.

See attached document for complaint. I took my 2013 Honda Accord in to my Honda Dealership due to leakage. I was informed the leak was in the intermediate drive shaft that was not under recall. Part Number: H,44500-T2A-A00 (Shaft Assy) Part Total : $871.38 I researched Honda recalls and found an article dated December15, 2020 that Honda was conducting 2 drive shaft recalls for 2013-2015 Honda Accords in 22 states where salt is used to clear roads during the winter. This included Michigan. The article (enclosed) stated the drive shafts can break due to corrosion and the right and left drive shafts were to be replaced. I did not receive any recall notice for this drive shaft problem until I took my car in for a leak inspection and I was then verbally informed of a drive shaft recall.
