7 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2017

Second time on the last four days that my car will not start. I took it in for service at eh Honda autonation in costa mesa CA and they told me that everything checked out fine. I was working in los angeles four days later and once again the car wouldn't start. This is after driving a few short distances and then the car just wont turn over. I have had to have the car jumped twice in the last four days. This is a problem because of where I work and I cannot let my wife drive the car due to not having the confidence that the car will start, especially if she has the kids with her. I will be taking it in again on Monday and see what they have to say. I have read that there are parts dealing with the battery that can not only cause starting issues, but shorts in the electrical system. I understand that problems occur, but the fact that this is the second time in four days I starting to wonder if Honda is now selling vehicles off their name and not their quality. Not willing to give up on them just yet, but it will depend on what they do to fix this issue.

9 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2017

Purchased 2016 Accord touring in may 2016. In April 2017 the car would not start - appeared to be a battery issue. Had the Honda roadside service come to the house, they jump started it, told to let it run/drive it for 1/2 hour. Did that. Went shopping and when I tried to start it again electronics went crazy, wipers went on their own and the stop button would not turn off the car. Had it jumped again by Honda roadside. Took it to the dealer, they replaced the battery - said it had a bad cell in it, said there were no tech svc bulletins on the car and said there were 100's of ground wires in this car that may cause a problem w/battery premature failure.
