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.
Our 2013 Accord started having intermittent starting issues. When pushbutton was pressed you would hear a click but no start or crank. Several presses then it started. It was very intermittent but started happening more often. Local mechanic determined that it was the starter motor causing the issue
Since replacing the starter is has worked flawlessly.
