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.
Honda won't warranty it. I admitted I had an issue (poured some bad gas, maybe 3 gal...which brought it to about half tank) Car died within 3 mi. added 2 gal of hi-test gas and no start. Towed to Honda dealer. They asked about bad gas and I admitted. Told them to fix it (next day I had a flight out of country so my choices were very limited). Upon return paid $600+ and that was it. Last week car dies and JERKS at Honda say rust on connector was result of first issue (previous condition) and therefore not covered by warranty.
