2006 Honda Civic lx overly acidic battery that caused a small fire and damage to the positive cable resulting in a $500 replacement. . I think that Honda shoudl have to pay for the replacement cable due to an inferior design.
2006 Honda Civic had 35,000 checkup on Aug 23,2010 - on sept 30 the car refused to start after grocery shopping - oct 1 local dealer told me that the battery need replacing at a cost of $1040, including towing. I was told that no the battery problem should not have been found on 8/23 and that it could happen overnight - that there is no way to determine when your car will die! the battery is not connected to the electrical system so nothing shows up on the dashboard display until the system has failed! the outrageous price for replacing a battery costing $79 - $135 is related to the cost of replacing the necessary harness which is burned through by the battery acid. I think this "design flaw" - so identified, as above information was, by the local service consultant - needs to be corrected and owners warned. If there is no way to identify the potential then how am I to trust the car even when the harness and battery are replaced?.
