Battery Cable Problems of Honda Accord

The ignition switch is a problem, it works on and off. I checked the battery cables and they are clean and firmly secured. I replaced the fob battery to no avail. I have only 35,000 miles on it. I understand this is a problem with Honda. This is constant problem when I attempt to start the car.

The vehicle was unable to start. Jumped the car with another car via battery cable then it started. Droved the car home about 4 mile drive. Checked battery voltage while the car is running and it reads 12. 4 volts which is a low reading. Turned off the car and tried to restart and the car won't start. Charged the battery with a battery charger and restarted the car again this time the car started. Checked the battery voltage again while it running and this time battery voltage reads 14. 5 volts. Some weird is happening with the charging system with this car. This happen 3 times already. It's intermittent problem that it won't start. It's not the battery and it's not the alternator.

My 2015 Accord has approx 62,000 miles, I have owned the vehicle since new and it has been 100% maintained precisely to all maintenance schedules by scott Honda of west chester PA since new. Following a dissatisfactory service visit to scott Honda, I opened hood to perform minor fluids check, and observed alarming corrosion of battery terminals. I have never seen this level of accumulation of corrosion on battery terminals for any vehicle in my life. This is not normal. I disconnected, carefully inspected and cleaned both positive and negative terminals and hardware. The positive cable fitting is disintegrated and nearly the thickness remaining equivalent to a piece of "aluminum foil". Removing the finishing tape of positive harness reveals heavy green/blue corrosion beyond battery fitting and cable swage. Also observed heavily corroded negative battery connection behind driver-side wheel. Negative terminals and connections are also corroded at battery and battery sensor. Battery sensor was serviced immediately upon recall notice by scott Honda. Battery is oem original and exhibits no signs of battery problems or starting. . . Beyond corrosion. Scott Honda never alerted of the battery corrosion matter, nor asserted any service need or preventative maintenance to correct condition. Thus, there very many "safety checklists" and state inspections are largely systematic "window dressing". Scott Honda has ignored my written requests and photos for explanation, root cause, or follow up. I will seek compensation from american Honda to replace all battery cable harnesses and inspection of electrical system at Honda expense. Photos are attached. I urge Accord owners to visually perform their own under-hood inspections. . . . Regardless the amount inspections they perceive to be performed by dealer.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. When the contact attempted to drive the vehicle, it failed to start and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, when checking under the hood, the contact noticed a white substance coming from the battery. The vehicle was taken to hinshaw's Honda (located at 2605 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002) where it was diagnosed that an aftermarket battery cable connection failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 60,789.

While driving the vehicle, the engine will quit completely without any warning or indication of malfunction; it just stops. Sometimes it will start up again immediately, sometimes multiple attempts where it catches for a fraction of a second and stops again have been required over a period of several minutes. Over time, it seemed to become clear that turning the key to the off position instead of attempting a start from acc would almost always result in immediate restart. The issue disappeared over what was a fairly cold winter, but has returned with the warming weather. Total number of occurrences: somewhere around fifty or higher. Sometimes it would happen numerous times the same day, increasingly with increased temperature, and seemed much more prone to occur when the air-conditioning was in use. The repair shop was never able to capture an obd code with its recording device. As a commuter on rural roads, this has been inconvenient but so far not unsafe, but there is a potential for it occurring under adverse traffic conditions that might be unsafe, e. G. , at highway speed with close following traffic on a road with no shoulder. These incidents may or may not be related to two repairs that almost immediately preceded the first occurrence of this problem: 1. The car wouldn't start one day, no electrical output at all was available, though the battery was only a few months old. A local (I. E. , non-dealer) repair shop replace the negative battery cable that grounds the battery to the vehicle. 2. Timing belt replacement was performed a couple of months prior, again by a local repair shop.

Battery went out, and two fuses had to be replaced. Also, the air conditioner is blowing out heat, making the vehicle hot, and the dealer can't found the problem.
