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 have been doing the service with Honda of concord since I bought the car from them since 2015. My car tires got bursted this year(2017) and I went with my insurance through Honda of concord collision center to fix the same. During Jan 2017, the Honda checked all my tires as per my insurance fixes only 2 tires and never reported any issues with my other 2 tires. Even the service station, where I had been doing my service since 2015, did not suggest or did my tire alignment. However, proactively, I did my tire alignment @ 26000 miles, when Honda of concord collision center replaced my tires. After that I have done tire rotations, routine check with oil fills with Honda of concord service station. Since my service, in the past one month, I had my TPMS light on for 3 times, every time I called Honda, they asked me to reset it myself in the car, which I did. But, I felt before my warranty expires around 36 K miles, I called in Honda for appointment Sep 2017. Today, when I dropped my car, Honda service guys called me and said, I own responsibility in changing my tires which has wear and tear cover till 60 K miles and I should take responsibility to change brakes at rear end, fluids, etc etc.. when I asked about my warranty on tires and brakes.. they were reluctant and said its not safe to drive all of a sudden. I had given car for service only a month back, where I asked them to check everything and I believe, they did not do anything, since they are reporting me now to drive as unsafe and not at the time of tire rotation or checks. This is very bad and dint expect from Honda

As I made a right turn to the parking spot with my right foot on the pedal I slowed down to 2-3 mph with foot still on the brake. At about 1-2 feet from the concrete retaining wall limiting the parking spot I pressed on the brake for the final stop. Car accelerated wildly and hit the concrete retaining wall ahead. My foot had never left the brake. Air bags did not inflate. The vehicle was in motion 2-3 mph, on a parking lot. Acceleration happened when I was breaking.

When braking, the vehicle sometimes decides to spontaneously, violently, and unexpectedly take control and lock-up the brakes causing the passengers to be thrown forward and the vehicle to stop in a manner not expected by following traffic (or the driver). This puts the vehicle and passengers at risk of rear-end collision. This seems to occur when the vehicle perceives a nearby object as a hazard (ie vehicle ahead might slow to turn right, , vehicle in next lane appears to be traveling at a much slower speed, when changing lanes to pass a slow-moving vehicle in the lane driver is departing). This has happened on at least four occasions in the last several months. I see at lease four similar cases filed on the NHTSA site (10892728, 10895657, 10521912, 10503138), also in 2013 and later Honda Accord.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. While driving various speeds, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was braking independently without warning. In addition, the steering wheel stiffened and turned right and left independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.

Have had trouble with the brake system in my car since purchase, I had complained and took the car to the dealer ship due to noise being made when braking. I was told there was no problem, brakes continued to have trouble functioning car would shake when I went to brake, this lead to total failure. I was involved in an accident and the brakes completely failed while in motion causing me to impact the vehicle in front of me, the system locked up and failed to stop.

I started my car in park while on a hill with emergency brake on. The car started moving a second or two before I released the emergency brake. Immediately, I lost my power steering and brakes. I stopped the car by putting on the emergency brake and putting the trans mission in park. The total trip was about 100 yards. I noticed that 5 or 6 warning lights were on including the battery. Then I quickly turned the engine off. I waited for about two minutes and restarted the engine and embarked on a 25 mile trip home without further incident.

I was driving home from work and without warning I felt my vehicle difficult to turn as I prepared to make a left turn. I looked at the instrument panel and notice my electric power steering indicator light on. I applied excessive effort to get the vehicle to turn and manage to stop in a parking lot where, I turned the vehicle off and started the engine again correcting the problem for a short period. The next morning while driving to work I encountered the same situation almost causing me to hit a vehicle and crash into a pond. Updated 9/15/15.... updated 09/30/15 updated 11/07/2017
