Description of the problem | For over a week my 2013 honda sport had difficulty starting. I was thinking this was due to the cold weather and in speaking with my cousin who has same vehicle he said his did the same and it was the new technology with the cvt. So i felt ok until wednesday january 14th i went to leave work and my car would not turn over. I had 2 people try and jump me nothing. I had to have my car towed to brown's honda in charlottesville, va. The next day i got a call saying that my starter had gone and i would have to pay $879 to replace it. The part alone was $430 give or take. I did not have that kinda of money for i had to have my car towed to a local dealership in my town and the guy found used part of a 2013 honda that had been in an accident. Took him all of an hour to put it on. Charged $50 for labor and part was have the price. He showed me that part that he returned to me and said it was defected. He even wrote a letter to honda on my behalf as well. This is just ridiculous my car has yet to even see it's 3rd birthday! Also my backup camera tends to go out as well. Like when a tv messes up and gets static. |
