Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Ok so I got my car the end 0f 2007 and within a month it would not start on some occasions. I have to get it jumped off and sometimes it still won't start! I've had the battery checked lots of time, but they say it's a good battery and nothings wrong. It's now Aug 2009 and my car had had this problem at least 7 times to this date. Honda has to do something about this problem or I am considering trading because its a problem!

Out of the blue, the car would not start. Was running, fine just had it in to repair brakes, no problems.. Then wham! The car would not start. We live in the middle of nowhere (Wiley, CO) and had to have the car towed. An expense that Honda would not pay for if it was not a warranty item. They got the car there and it started. They waited until the next morning and it would not start for them. However, they put it on their computer and could not get a reading. They will NOT do anything except charge us for the towing and hooking it up to the diagnostics because their COMPUTER could not find anything wrong. They will NOT try and replace parts unless the computer tells them to.. Honda America will do nothing and their attitude to me was "too bad". They actually said to me.. when your car breaks down again, call us and we'll have it towed for you... I've never had worst service in all my life. Honda is the WORST....Feel like taking out a full page add in the major newspapers...

This is the 4th time my car has been in for the same problem. I've had it towed to the dealership 3 times in the past week and a half! This time it won't start at all! In the past it has started and stalled out. I'm livid and absolutely will NOT take that car back until something MAJOR is done with it!!!!

Accord LX-P 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles

Starting at 6,000 miles my Honda Accord began having problems starting. After about three tries it finally starts but it is odd that it does this every 4,000-6,000 miles. The car currently has 22,600 miles and it has had this problem about 5 times. I have taken it to the dealership three times and they tell me that they don't know what is causing the problem. Until it does this when I take it in, they can't do anything about it. Of course, we all know that when the car's warranty is expired the car will finally not start and then I will have to have it towed and repaired at my own expense.
