Description of the problem | My 2014 accord ex sedan is on recall notice and i am having a final repair on the battery management senor next week. For several weeks i am experiencing an electrical problem intermittently trying to start my car. When i push the start button with my foot on the brake pedal sometimes the care does not start. I have had the car since nov. 2013 and have only had this problem for the past few weeks. All symbols on the instrument panel light up and quickly go off and i get a notice on the instrument panel "power is on": when i push the button again 1-3 times, the car starts. I have not experienced problems with stalling or cutting off while in motion. My battery is only 2 yr. Old. And it was just checked last month and the charge was ok. Clearly there is a short affecting ignition of the ignition of the engine. The problem i have described has so far only occurred when the car is stationary. I only have 42,000 miles on the car and so this should not be happening and is quite disturbing; it can become a major safety problem. I know that nhtsa has issued honda electrical system campaigns f/ recall notices for other honda vehicles with the same problem, but yet for my 2014 sedan. It needs to be included. From reviewing the nhtsa complaint database it is clear this is a known problem by nhtsa and honda and needs to be dealt with. I am requesting that this complaint be expeditiously investigated and the problem for my car and is recognized as a systemic problem for multiple honda products for many years and honda figure out a permanent solution. I am requesting that honda covers the cost of parts/labor to fix even though i am past the regular warranty period (except i am still within the power train warranty ) this week (november 13 to 11/17) problem occurred 4 times. |
