I took it to the honda dealership and they tested the battery and said it was fine. After a little research i see that honda has been aware of this problem for years, i guess more people need to file a complaint before they are forced to offer a recall…

The car will not start. It blinks 'accessory mode' when you try to start it and you cannot get the car out of it without having someone jump the car battery. This has now left my wife stranded two times and both times we had to find someone to jump her.

On multiple occasions for the past year, this car has stalled when you press the gas pedal. You press the gas, the car "chugs," and either slows down and has to catch up to itself, or it completely shuts off. It happens pulling out of the driveway, at stop signs, and intersections. We've brought the car to the dealership multiple times, and they can't find the problem. It even stalled on their tech once, but they…

Ignition started making a zapping noise upon starting. I would then have to try to start again. One day it finally didn't start at all. They stated my battery was no good after approximately 28k miles. Fast forward 7 months later and the ignition is making the same zapping noise yet again. After looking online, there are several other people having the same issue with this make and model
