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 2014 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.
Rearview camera started displaying "scratchy, tearing" image for about a week, then went to BLACK with only the grid lines still displayed. Nothing else in the Honda Link system seems to be malfunctioning, such as the
Right Turn camera mounted on the passenger side mirror. As part of troubleshooting, I removed the trunk felt liner and disconnected/reconnected the camera from the electrical connector, but problem still there.
I'm wondering if there are others out there with similar problems, and I'll be checking with the Dealer for possible recall activity on P/N 39530-T2A-A21 (this number taken from a label on the wiring from the camera).
Unsure if there's a diagnostic available to test the interface, as it may be deeper than just the camera itself.
The screen with the radio also shows the rear/side camera. When I use the reverse I get a clear view but once I return the car to drive the screen turns black and shows yellow lines (not every time). When this happens the radio and blue tooth options do not work. I am stuck with the black screen and yellow lines only. It will not even allow me to use the steering wheel buttons for voice activation calls or radio.
