2016 Honda Accord

WHEN I PUSH THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER IT MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE AND DOESN'T START. WHEN I PUSH IT THE SECOND TIME IT STARTS. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER F I DRIVE THE CAR, CUT IT OFF AND THEN TRY TO START IT, IT WON'T START. I WAIT A SECOND OR TWO THEN TRY AND IT STARTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2019. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, AT LEAST THREE - FOUR TIMES A WEEK DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN I DRIVE THE CAR. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS APRIL 3, 2020. AS A RESULT OF (COVID-19), I AM NOT DRIVING IT EVERY DAY. THE

THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN I WAS BARELY OVER 42,000 MILES, MAYBE 7 MONTHS AGO IN OCTOBER OF 2019. THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR A LITTLE OVER 5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN, IT STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND A DEFECT ON THE CAR. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT RUN A DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY AFTER TWO DAYS AGO, IT STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. THE DIAGNOSTICS SAID MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. WHAT IS REALLY IRRESPONSIBLE ON HONDA'S PART IS THE FACT THAT I TAKE IT EVERY TIME AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO RUN THIS DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO.

MY BACKUP CAMERA HAS STARTED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE NEWER MODELS ARE DOING AND NOT WORKING WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE. IM NOW LOOKING INTO IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT WHICH I DOUBT BECAUSE IT IS NOW OVER 4 YEARS OLD. THE ONLY THING MY BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYS IS THE GREEN LINES BUT NO PICTURE. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE HELP FROM HONDA AS IT ONLY HAS 37000 MILES ON IT

LAST NIGHT MY DASHBOARD LOST ELECTRICITY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL. AFTER 2 SECONDS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL, AS DID THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MORNING, I DROVE ON A STREET & SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN AREA OF THE CAR & I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. OPENED THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY (POSITIVE TERMINAL) WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A GENTLEMAN PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER FROM THE GAS STATION. MY BATTERY IS 1/4 MELTED, DUE TO THE FIRE. OTHER PLASTIC PARTS OF THE ENGINE ARE ALSO SLIGHTLY MELTED. I CALLED GARDENA HONDA (IN LOS ANGELES CA) AND THEY TOLD ME MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT PART OF THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL BUT THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD SEEN MY EMAIL AND FORWARDED IT TO HER SUPERVISOR, AND THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK TO HIM TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER SUPERVISOR SAID TO IMMEDIATELY BRING IT INTO THE GARDENA, CA HONDA DEALERSHIP. UPON ARRIVAL THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DEFINITELY BE CHARGING ME AT LEAST $160 FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I THEN EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS MISLED, AS WHEN I INITIALLY CALLED I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD CHECK TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. AT NO TIME DID SHE SAY I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING. INSTEAD, SHE MISLEAD ME BY SAYING SHE HAD SPOKEN TO HER SUPERVISOR AND THAT HE SAID TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY MISLEAD ME, WASTED MY TIME, AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER AS ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE (2016 HONDA ACCORD WITH VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT PART OF THE RECALL, MY CAR'S BATTERY CAUGHT FIRE AND I AM SURE OTHER PEOPLE'S CAR'S WILL ALSO CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED BEYOND THE CURRENT LIST. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED A METAL PIECE INTENDED TO HOLD THE BATTERY IN PLACE LOOSENED AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY CAUSING THE FAILURE.*JS
