Description of the problem | There has been numerous complaints in regards to the starter having a "grinding", "static-like", or "whining" sound and it has seemingly affected my car as well. For example, when i am preparing to leave for my destination, do a basic press of the starter button, and i will hear that grinding and whining sound... On occasion, it will take a number of tries to get the car started. This has been happening on the regular. There is a honda technical bulletin (dated february 5, 2016) number 16-002 in regards to the starter and also a pending class action lawsuit (merkin v. Honda north american inc., american honda motor co., honda motor company ltd.) i cannot pinpoint an exact date on when this started (i gave you my best answer), but it has been going on for several months and i fear if it continues, it could hurt my car in the long run or i could possibly be stranded if i go on a long journey somewhere |
