In owners' own words
Intermittent starting issues - have replaced battery 3 times. Took to Honda dealer on 9/8/17 & 12/29/20. Honda stated no issues. Had alternator and starter tested several times at parts store and they tested fine. Issues have increased to leaving me stranded 3 times in 2 weeks. New battery 12/29/20 is not dead and tests fine but car needs jump to start. Car does have remote start and will not start with key or fob. Electrical system
I am unable to start vehicle when pressing push start button. The vehicle will start after approximately 10-15 times of trying. It started happening two weeks ago but vehicle would ignite with no more than two tries. Vehicle will now start after multiple times getting worst every day. Battery life was checked and no issues were found with battery. It happens every time I turn off vehicle and try to restart. Electrical system · reported at 38,000 miles
