2014 Accord seat position memory wont 'remember'
Hello,
I am new to the forum.
I have a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan 4door V6 EX-L.
I have programmed seat positions 1 and 2 and it will remember the settings for awhile, maybe a few days of driving, then for no reason, it forgets the settings and both have to be set again.
Anyone experienced this issue?
I am also having many issues with the bluetooth and my iPhone 5, like many others in this forum have mentioned - not looking for any answers on this, just noting yet another owner experiencing those issues.
Thanks for any help/advice in advance!

Probably an issue with either the driver's power seat control unit (located under the driver's seat) or a wiring connection issue.
Dealer would have to diagnosis since it is probably still under warranty.

Have the same problem but not intermittent
The lights and buttons on the door that set the seat positions will not respond nor are any lights on when depressed.
Took it to the dealer and the had the vehicle from 8 am to nearly 7 pm. They hadn't found the problem yet. Wife needed the car, so rather than offering a loaner or free rental, I get the "Honda doesn't cover rental cars for warranty repairs" response.
The wife needed the car and they gave me indication that this would be a multiple day deal. Reason I bought a Honda is for it's reliability and my last I drove for 279,000 miles before donating it. So, not new but disappointed in most likely a minor problem resulting in a multiple day diagnosis, not even repair yet.
I've got two Toyota's in my garage that have never required multiple days in a shop. Yeah I know...why didn't the wife drive the Toyota...they're trucks and she's afraid to do so.
Oh well, back to the problem....from another site it might be a loose pin in the harness connector. Dealer has to find it though.

I also have a 2014 Honda Accord Ex-L CVT not the v6 but just started having the same problem. We assumed we hit the button accidentally but it keeps happening. This weekend it forgot both settings for 1 & 2 and we set them again only to use them the same day and it forgot them again! This is my first brand new car and I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Let me know if you found the issue.

Do It Yourself Fix
I had the same problem on my 2014 Accord EXL sedan. Memory presets not working and fwd/bkwd adjust would move only an inch or two at a time.
Attached is the TSB with instructions to replace the switch (Power Seat Adjustment Switch (MSC SW UNIT ASSY)
81650-T2F-A52ZA). I found the part from a dealer on line for $140, took about 1.5 hrs.
A tip on after reconnecting the battery, your radio/Navi will display “Input Code”. You do not have to input the code, simply press and hold the power button for three seconds and it will turn on.
Cheers.
