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 bought a brand new car Honda Accord 2014 last April 18, on August, suddenly it didn't start, I called aaa to check battery but aaa said, its not the battery its more than that. My car was towed from NY to NJ -route 22honda(where I bought the car),they did some repair-alternator replacement, then last Nov.2, I have difficulty in starting the car again, finally after so many tries it started and I brought the car again to route 22, they did repair again-sensor replacement. Yesterday Nov 15, it didn't start at all even several attempts. I don't feel safe with this car especially winter is here and its not good for my job as a nurse. Please help me.
The trunk fell on my head and my grandmothers head. It did not hurt when it fell on my head but my grandmother was in pain when it fell on hers. I live on a sloped driveway, so any time I open my trunk it doesn't stay open and falls right down. It stayed open a few times, but would then randomly come falling down. I can't unload my groceries properly, I can't load my trunk up properly, it's very disturbing. Also, I took it to two Honda dealerships and they said 'it was fine' and 'nothing was wrong.' One even suggested I used a broom to keep the trunk open (which is absurd because it's a brand new 2014 Honda Accord. But when I spoke to the car repair shop about it, they said it was not normal and something was definitely wrong with the trunk.
