Description of the problem | For the past few months the push button start has been intermittent. Sometimes it will start right away, sometimes all i get is a click, and sometimes nothing. Often have to push it several times before the car will finally start. The battery in the key fob is new, the car battery has been checked. I assume it's the starter from the sound of it. All the lights and power windows work. I researched the cost and it's anywhere from 600-800 to replace starter, that's more than the car payment! The car is only 4 years old! Consumers should be protected against manufactures trying to make more money off of parts. After much research i see a lot of complaints on this very issue and even after replacing the starter the same problem occurs. Now it could be an electrical issue along with the starter. Today was final straw, after getting ice cream with my 2 little kids in 92 degree weather, the car would not start at all! So i had to call a friend to pick me and the kids up, we had to wait in 92 degree weather! No one should have to experience this event with a new car! Honda needs to recall this starter defect and fix starters issues immediately. Thank you. |
