ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2013 HONDA ACCORD PUSH BUTTON ENGINE START BUTTON IS NOT WORKING RELIABLY. WE DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE BUTTON, LIGHTS COME ON BUT NO STARTER NOISE. WE RECENTLY HAD THE HONDA RECALL FOR THE BATTERY BOOT COMPLETED. WITHIN 2 MONTHS WE BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE PUSH BUTTON ENGINE START. THE CAR BATTERY WAS REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO SO WE WERE SURE IT WASN'T THAT. NEXT STEP, REPLACED BOTH FOB BATTERIES. STILL HAVING THE SAME DIFFICULTY. IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT HONDA DEALER HAS BEEN IN THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECENTLY OR IS THIS A BAD SIGN OF HONDA'S POOR WORKMANSHIP?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
60,000 MILES CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED OK. AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER TRIED TO START AND WOULD NOT. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND WORKED OK FOR A COUPLE DAYS. GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND NOW INSTEAD OF ONCE A WEEK IT'S 4-5 TIMES A WEEK. TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LEESBERG FLA AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS PUTTING "CELL PHONE" TO CLOSE TO KEY FOB THEREFORE BLOCKING SIGNAL TO IGNITION. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED KEY FOB AND DID NOT HAVE CELL PHONE ANYWHERE CLOSE. CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER NOW KNOWING IF CAR WOULD START OR NOT AND DEALER TELLING ME UNLESS IT HAPPENED "ALL" THE TIME THEY COULD NOT FIX. GOT ON THE INTERNET AND IT SAID THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS A DEFECTIVE STARTER. I TOOK CAR TO HAVE NEW STARTER INSTALLED AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE HONDA "DEALER" WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS AND I HAD TO RESEARCH INFO THRU THE INTERNET TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW WHY HONDA DOES NOT REPAY THE CUSTOMER AND OR HAVE A RECALL ON THE STARTER. MY PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW STARTER!

I PRESS THE START BUTTON AND THE POWER TURNS ON BUT DOES NOT START THE ENGINE. IT DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE ENGINE BUT LATELY, IT HAS TURNED MORE INTO A GAMBLE ON WHEN IT WILL ACTUALLY START THE ENGINE.
