Our 2006 Honda Civic ex would not start after driven to a park. When trying to start the car, the dashboard lit up and the starter made clicking noise, but would not start. While checking the battery, we discovered that the entire positive side of cable under the plastic cover was corroded out. Police came and tried to help us to jump the car which was not working. We had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealer piassa Honda in drexel hill, PA which quoted us $1,300 for changing the entire battery cable harness. We were in a shock and refused the service, but had them replaced a new battery then driven home. By doing the research, we found this is a common problem with 2006 Honda Civic. Honda purchased a batch of defected batteries which leaking out acid that corroded out the cable. I'm a die hard Honda fan. My last 1996 Honda accord had no issue and let me ride it over 330,000 miles with only minimum regular maintenance. My expectation of Honda car is extremely high. I had my entire die hard us car family converted to Honda. Please do not let me down. Sincerely yours.
