WHEN I PUSH THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER IT MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE AND DOESN'T START. WHEN I PUSH IT THE SECOND TIME IT STARTS. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER F I DRIVE THE CAR, CUT IT OFF AND THEN TRY TO START IT, IT WON'T START. I WAIT A SECOND OR TWO THEN TRY AND IT STARTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2019. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, AT LEAST THREE - FOUR TIMES A WEEK DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN I DRIVE THE CAR. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS APRIL 3, 2020. AS A RESULT OF (COVID-19), I AM NOT DRIVING IT EVERY DAY. THE

THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN I WAS BARELY OVER 42,000 MILES, MAYBE 7 MONTHS AGO IN OCTOBER OF 2019. THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR A LITTLE OVER 5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN, IT STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND A DEFECT ON THE CAR. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT RUN A DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY AFTER TWO DAYS AGO, IT STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. THE DIAGNOSTICS SAID MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. WHAT IS REALLY IRRESPONSIBLE ON HONDA'S PART IS THE FACT THAT I TAKE IT EVERY TIME AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO RUN THIS DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO.

LAST NIGHT MY DASHBOARD LOST ELECTRICITY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL. AFTER 2 SECONDS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL, AS DID THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MORNING, I DROVE ON A STREET & SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN AREA OF THE CAR & I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. OPENED THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY (POSITIVE TERMINAL) WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A GENTLEMAN PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER FROM THE GAS STATION. MY BATTERY IS 1/4 MELTED, DUE TO THE FIRE. OTHER PLASTIC PARTS OF THE ENGINE ARE ALSO SLIGHTLY MELTED. I CALLED GARDENA HONDA (IN LOS ANGELES CA) AND THEY TOLD ME MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT PART OF THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL BUT THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD SEEN MY EMAIL AND FORWARDED IT TO HER SUPERVISOR, AND THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK TO HIM TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER SUPERVISOR SAID TO IMMEDIATELY BRING IT INTO THE GARDENA, CA HONDA DEALERSHIP. UPON ARRIVAL THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DEFINITELY BE CHARGING ME AT LEAST $160 FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I THEN EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS MISLED, AS WHEN I INITIALLY CALLED I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD CHECK TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. AT NO TIME DID SHE SAY I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING. INSTEAD, SHE MISLEAD ME BY SAYING SHE HAD SPOKEN TO HER SUPERVISOR AND THAT HE SAID TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY MISLEAD ME, WASTED MY TIME, AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER AS ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE (2016 HONDA ACCORD WITH VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT PART OF THE RECALL, MY CAR'S BATTERY CAUGHT FIRE AND I AM SURE OTHER PEOPLE'S CAR'S WILL ALSO CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED BEYOND THE CURRENT LIST. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED A METAL PIECE INTENDED TO HOLD THE BATTERY IN PLACE LOOSENED AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY CAUSING THE FAILURE.*JS

I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF ME OWNING THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE MY BATTERY WAS DYING. IN ADDITION TO THAT MY.CAR STARTED MAKING A FUNNY NOISE. TURNS OUT I NEEDED MY TENSIONER/ALTERNATOR PULLEY REPLACED AND THAT IS WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING CORRECTLY. IT WAS MEASURING AT 11 VOLTS INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 14V. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED ALONG WITH MY BELT TENSIONER. I SPENT 600 AND THEN I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST. I DON'T SEE WHY NOT WHEN IT WAS ALMOST THE IDENTICAL ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT AND I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE OF ITS REPUTATION FOR DEPENDABILITY. THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN OUT WITHIN THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE.
