Description of the problem | My family and i were stranded due to our 2013 honda accord not starting. We just came out of the movies and the car was stationary in the parking lot. I turned the key and it would just click. I had to pay for towing and over $800 to have the starter replaced at the honda dealer. It would have been more, but i called another dealer and they price matched the starter. I drive a lot of mile to work so i have over 60k miles in 2 years. After doing a little research i found that this problem is happening to a lot of people. The problem can be seen on forums and youtube videos. This problem seems to affects new cars, base models, push buttons, v6's etc. I think the starter should be recalled because many people are being forced to replace starters that the dealer seemed to know was bad. |
