Description of the problem | I have a 2013 honda accord sport that is only 2. 5 years old with 40,318 miles. The vehicle kept hesitating to start for about a week. I would play with key and then it would start. On sunday, i stopped vehicle to put gas. Then it didn't start. I brought battery to auto zone and it was fine. I called honda road hazard to have towed to honda dealership. They put on diagnostic and it was a bad starter. The 36,000 mile warranty ended. The repair was not covered. The parts and labor were $896. 34 to fix. I still haven't received bill for tow that wasn't covered. This should be a recall with multiple other complaints for this same repair. This is practically a new car with thirty more car payments. Honda used to be reliable. At least it killed in a gas station with people. I could have been stranded in dark parking lot. It was late in afternoon and the tow took over 45 minutes to arrive. A new car should start. |
