Went to start my car after 8 hours of work and the battery is dead. Car is only 4 years old and has chalky corrosion. I don't live near a beach for it to have this much corrosion nor do I know if that's why the battery is actually dying. Car has done this to me 4 times since purchasing it brand new.
I've had my car for less than a year and on three separate occasions it has failed to start. The first time it happened, I did a google search and saw that this was a common problem with the car. I found a youtube video that gave instructions on a possible remedy -- which included going under the hood of the car and finagling with the battery, etc. My husband tried this remedy and once my car started, I immediately took it to the dealership. At the dealership I was told that my battery was dead; they replaced the battery. Months later, with my new battery, this happened again. My husband tried the remedy again but when I took it to the dealership I told him that they should look further into this issue because it is not just the battery. To me, it was some kind of electrical glitch. The dealership informed me that because they could not replicate the problem of the 'no-start', there was nothing they could do. At 6 months pregnant I told them that I was being left in a vulnerable position with a very unreliable vehicle. I told them that a google search would show that this was happening with many Honda Civics and that this must be a known issue. They said they would have a Honda representative contact me and that never happened. I told myself that if this happened again, I would do nothing myself. I would get my car towed to the dealership. Well, of course, it has happened again at 9 months pregnant. I had my car towed to the dealership because it again has not started. The car remains in accessory mode and the brakes and shift gear is locked. I truly think I have a lemon vehicle because this company is refusing to look further into this issue. To note, each time the car hasn't started, it has been after I've turned the car off and returned to it a short time later, either at home on the street or at work in the parking lot.
I purchased a brand new 2016 Honda Civic in March 2016. Within the first 6-8 months I began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. I had to call Honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. Then came the electrical issues. I would lock the car and all windows would be up when leaving the car but I'd return to all windows down and the sunroof open! this happened twice within the first two years of owning the car! last but certainly not least is the battery issue. The battery won't last 10 months without issues! if you try to charge your car in accessory mode, the car battery will die and you will need a jump. I had aaa and used up all but one of my calls up on the battery issues this car has. My car insurance has roadside assistance and I had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that I was told in June that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!.
Battery died in normal weather condition in austin TX on 2/20/17. Evey electrical operation was disabled. By jump starting the car, the battery was tested at auto parts shop autozone. The austzone technician reported that the battery was not holding the charge.
