Let me start off by saying that this "issue" had been going on for about 8 months or so. Back when it was cold, the car was very difficult to start. It would however always start (sometimes after a few attempts). Once it warmed up, subsequent starts that same day were not an issue. I had the battery tested and it was completely fine. This went on for several months. Once the weather became nicer, the issue went away so I kind of forgot about it. About a month ago out of no where the car would not start and left me stranded in a parking lot. I was able to jump start it after a few minutes of charging. I took the car to my local dealership to have them run diagnostics on it since the battery was not the issue. The dealership said that they could not find anything wrong with the car (said they would start testing all the electrical wiring in the vehicle starting around $1000 which I declined). You would think that they would have been able to check the starter or suggest that but they did not. A month goes by with no issues but I always felt like the car was going to leave me stranded again which sucks. And sure enough it did. This time it would not even take a jump. I had to have it towed to a mechanic friend of mines shop. He replaced the starter and the car is completely back to normal. All said and done it ended up costing me about $425 with the tow charge, which is still way cheaper than what the dealership wanted ($850).

battery was less than 2 years old and it seemed to go bad over night.

this was just the beginning. over the next year, and including this week we've had four incidents where the car would not start after not being driven for two or three days. Each time, the car was jumped and taken to a Honda Dealer (more than one) for examination. Twice the battery was replaced due to a "bad cell". The other times they simply charged the battery. The Shop Manager says that all cars made today need to be driven frequently and at least for 7 miles on each use for the battery to recharge. The cars brain and security system eat up the battery. On two of the incidents, the car had not been driven in 3 to 6 days.

I'm sorry, but a healthy and charged battery should not drain in 3 to 6 days of non-used if there are no aftermarket devices on the vehicle. I've owned dozens of cars over the years, four of them being 2003 or greater and NONE of them have had cranking problems like this vehicle. I am certain that I will never buy another Honda Accord.
