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.
All the error lights come up and the steering is stuck. You have to turn off the car a couple of times to release the steering but all the error lights remain on. You have to drive for a while and then shut the car down and couple of times and then the error lights go off as if there was no problem. The mechanic has replaced the sensor but the problem still occurs. The mechanic then has reset the computer and the problem goes away for a while. However, the problem is now beginning to occur more often.
