2016 Honda Accord

PURCHASED 2016 ACCORD TOURING IN MAY 2016. IN APRIL 2017 THE CAR WOULD NOT START - APPEARED TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. HAD THE HONDA ROADSIDE SERVICE COME TO THE HOUSE, THEY JUMP STARTED IT, TOLD TO LET IT RUN/DRIVE IT FOR 1/2 HOUR. DID THAT. WENT SHOPPING AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN ELECTRONICS WENT CRAZY, WIPERS WENT ON THEIR OWN AND THE STOP BUTTON WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE CAR. HAD IT JUMPED AGAIN BY HONDA ROADSIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY - SAID IT HAD A BAD CELL IN IT, SAID THERE WERE NO TECH SVC BULLETINS ON THE CAR AND SAID THERE WERE 100'S OF GROUND WIRES IN THIS CAR THAT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM W/BATTERY PREMATURE FAILURE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. I TURN THE KEY TO START AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT ACTIVATE THE STARTER. NOW, THE ISSUE HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT IT MAY START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, OR REQUIRE 10 OR MORE ATTEMPTS BEFORE POWER TO THE STARTER IS ACHIEVED. BEING A RETIRED MECHANIC IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS A LOOSE WIRE OR GROUND AT THE STARTER. TALKING WITH HONDA, MY WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED (3 YEAR/36,000 MILE) AND THEY REQUIRE OVER $100 TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. RESEARHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. THEY ALL STATE THAT HONDA CORRECTED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE STARTER. I PURCHASED MY HONDA WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF IT TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. NOW, 56,000 MILES LATER (MAJORITY ARE HIGHWAY MILES) I NEED TO REPLACE THE STARTER? THE FACT IS, I HAVE MAINTAINED FLEETS OF VEHICLES, GAS AND DIESEL, AND I FIND THE NEED TO REPLACE THE STARTER PREMATURE AND LUDICROUS! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, THERE IS NO REASON THAT THERE IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN A HONDA STARTER RECALL/GOOD FAITH WARRANTY FOR WHAT I WOULD CLAIM TO BECOME PREMATURALY DEFECTIVE. FURTHER MORE, IN MY OPINION THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE COULD EVOLVE INTO A FIRE HAZARD.

I PURCHASE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON 10/29/2016 AND SINCE I'VE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE LIGHTING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM!!! 1 WK AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAN ALL THE FONT LIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE CAR AS WELL AS THE PHONE SYSTEM WITH THE CONNECTION TO THE BLUTOOTH HAS A SHORTAGE THE ONLY ISSUE REPAIRED WAS THE LIGHTING ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS THE INSIDE LIGHTS WAS NEVER REPAIRED !!!

PURCHASED MY COUPE IN NOVEMBER 2016 BRAND NEW. I HAVE LESS THAN 8600 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER NIGHT MY CAR WENT INTO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN, COMPLETELY DEAD. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE MAIN FUSE. WHY WOULD THE MAIN FUSE BLOW ON BRAND NEW CAR? THAT VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC.
