Description of the problem | It so far has happened to me twice that i need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it. The first time it was more than a year ago that when i came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, i turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that i had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me. I thought at that time it was due to the cd player took too much power so i did not complain about it. But the second time it was a few weeks ago on sunday, which give me the concerns that there must be some electrical leakage on my car. After parking for the church meeting and turned off the car, both my wife and i decided to open the window a little bit to let the air flows in the hot weather since we parked under a covered parking and would not worry about possible rainfall. So before we open the doors, we opened both front windows a very little bit and left for the meetings. Then about 3. 5-4 hours later when it was time to go home, we found out the car would not start, and we had to ask for help to jump-start it again. This time it gave a definite guess that there must be some electrical leakage in the car. I also complained in early june of this year about the steering wheel lock issue. I received a mail from honda to fix it, but when i call the dealers, none of them even offer loaner cars for such recall and manufacture failure repairs. Honda is bad for things like this. I don't know whether i should purchase honda again in the future. I never complained once for my toyota for years. Even they schedule for manufacture recalls, which i never encounter myself, i did not have to worry about the loaner car. |
