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.

Repeated ignition system failure on 2013 Honda Accord V6 Touring with push button. It left my daughter and me stranded on a night when it was only 13 degrees above zero. Push button start only resulted in a grinding noise, no attempt to engage flywheel to start the engine. Starter has been replaced twice and the torque converter once (at the recommendation of the dealer to fix this issue) with the same resulting grinding noise and failure of the engine to start. This issue has been reported to Honda Corporation many times; it is a poorly engineered and faulty design that they refuse to acknowledge and cannot fix. I have sunk over $3700 between new starters, torque converter, and diagnostic test to no avail to fix this issue and now I was stranded in 13 degree temperature weather. HONDA - TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THIS FAULTY DESIGN!
