1 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2019

Since I got the car in 2016 the radio has been freezing then going completely black while driving. My battery has died multiple times without leaving anything on or open. I'm currently sitting in the parking lot after just starting my car and moving it to another parking spot, came back to start my car and go home and the battery was faintly trying to start and then completely died. My car won't start and the radio screen is white. Now is making a clicking sound without touching anything.

2 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2019

When I get in my car sometimes to start it the battery is dead I have taking it to autozone so they can run test with there computer and everything comes out perfect if I'm not mistaken I think the battery negative voltage sensor is damaged.

3 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2016

I am unable to start my car after it sits for ten days to two weeks or more. The battery goes dead and my family and I are left potentially stranded. My wife and I travel frequently and return to a car that won't start due to a parasitic draw on the battery. This is a safety issue as you can imagine flying home, taking the bus to the parking lot at the airport at 11:00 pm, going to your car and finding a dead battery which puts our safety in peril. I took my car to oneil Honda in overland park, kansas. They charged the battery and checked it out and told me that everything is fine. I asked about why the battery went dead and they said that this is now normal with the new Honda Accords due to the parasitic draw on the battery when the car isn't running which ultimately drains the battery to a point where it won't start. Having been an auto mechanic in my younger days I couldn't believe my ears. I called another Honda dealer's service department in the kansas city area and received the same comment. Then I phoned the Honda dealership in san antonio where I purchased the vehicle and again, was provided the same information. . . . "this is now what I can expect on my new Accord, if it sits for ten days or two weeks then the battery will die". The parasitic draw on the battery is putting my family and I in an unsafe situation and I asked that you intervene. I tried to address this with Honda America but was not successful with the agent on the phone. I even asked her to pick a dealer in san antonio, any dealer, get their service manager on the phone with us and lets see if he / she gives us a similar response regarding the parasitic draw. She refused. Now I feel that I need your help. I have had this problem since last fall and it has occurred on several occasions. I will indicate an approximate date of my initial visit / discussion with the first Honda dealer.
