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.
I originally noticed this about a year and a half after I bought my car. I had it repaired under warranty. Again today I noticed it 9/30/16. I am not sure what is causing this as the spot this peeling occurs is not in a place that I could rub with my arm resting on it. It is dead center of the driver side door panel. I haven't used any chemicals or cleaners to clean my car. I simply wipe it with a damp micro fiber towel periodically. The dealership states they will repair under warranty. However, I am hoping this isn't going to be a continual issue every few years.
