Description of the problem | Started car, drove on highway 20 miles. Parked car to run an errand. Tried to start car 5 mins later; lights lit up on dash but car would not start. Tried several times, finally was successful starting car and continued drive to work. Drove to madison honda, rt 24, madison, nj. Advised them of issue while car was running. They examined car and came back 45 mins later saying all systems (battery, starter and alternator) were in good working order. No issues found. They could not repeat my problem so disregarded it. Drove last 10 mins to my office. Several hours later, tried to start car, would not crank. Tried several more times, still nothing. I felt stranded at this location with no means of getting home. Waited a few minutes and tried again and it started with no problem. Every morning since this began it's the same thing. The car is unreliable. Yesterday had to try a handful of times before it started. Today i tried to start the car for 25 minutes before i was successful. Drove to my meeting and later began having problems starting the car again. Problem is quickly and progressively getting worse. This car has less than 80,000 miles on it. I have owned this vehicle since early 2015. The dealership has taken care of regular maintenance. This vehicle is unsafe. I never know if and when it will start again! I'm worried about when it will stop starting at all! And where i'll be when it completely fails! This is a huge safety issue! What about tsb 16-002? A design issue that is going unnoticed and unaddressed? Why is honda not responding to these complaints? Because of honda's lack of consideration and the car's unreliability, i won't be buying another honda!!! Please help! |
