Description of the problem | Starter problems: changed battery twice within 40k mileage (odometer reading) the last time they changed battery it was by honda said my battery is not good and reason because something in the electrical withdrawing power and killing the battery and after 4 days at honda dealer and charged me over $600 they could not identify the problem (they said)... In fact they said we think in the radio maybe! Well after 6 months i found out the problem was not what they say but in the starter! The starter cause this issue until it finally the starter went dead! I open the starter myself and its definitely the starter causing this and i thought to bring it to your attention. Honda must known about this for sure! These condition it caused when its stationary. But so much pain. You drive the car and then you park and then when start nothing, painful experiences. It happened in may occasions, since i bought the car from dealer and until december 8 that is when i open the starter and saw this to for sure its the starter problem that cause battery to die early and honda could not identify the problem at all until finally the starter wen dead. I am an engineer and confident its from the starter. I leave the matter to you to check and decided. Thanks |
