Description of the problem | So, yesterday i found myself faced with a dead battery after parking in a parking lot and going into a store for 10 minutes, and called aaa of southern california. They dispatched roy's towing who arrived withing about 20 minutes of the initial call. Ian, the service tech, checked the battery and found it only had 18 cold cranking amps, (it is supposed to be around 500) i was taken aback, as the car is not that old and very low mileage. He went one step further and checked the electrical system and it's charging capacity, which turned out to be just fine. The car is just over 3 years old and had only 27,414 miles on it. I recently was in to have a battery sensor replaced due to a possible short, but the dealer just spread some sealer on it. Could this be the problem? We have already had to replace the starter motor assembly and the alternator, this at 16, 212 miles.. Now that we are out of warranty,the battery, installation, etc. Cost $123. 00 total. I have checked the internet and have found many complaints of this nature with starter, alternator and failing batteries at low mileage for the 2014 honda accord. A wide spread problem? |
