2017 Honda Accord: won't start

Filed Dec 13, 2023 · Electrical · CA

I had noticed a couple of weeks ago that I would try and start the car and it was struggling to start. Two weeks ago I tried to turn on my car and it would not start. I had to jump start it. I went out to run errands. I tried turning the car on again and it would not start. Once again I had to jump start it. Thinking it was the battery, I took it to O'Reilly's since it was still under warranty. The battery was good. They told me to take the car to run a scan. The scan showed no issues with the car. I googled what was happening to my car and I saw it's a common issue with these cars. Since the time I bought the car, I have already had to replace the battery 4 times which is odd because batteries last about 3 years and they are only lasting 1.5 years. As of today, it has been turning on but I can still hear it struggling to turn on.

After owning the car for 2.5 years, the car would not start and required a jump. After several instances of this occurring, the original oem battery was replaced. Within 2 months of installing the new battery, the car wouldn't start and required a jump. The car will start fine for a few weeks and then requires another jump (this repeats every several weeks). The car has been inspected by a honda dealership and they found no charging or draw issues. The car is driven enough, according to the dealer, so that's not an issue either. It appears based on other complaints to the federal safety agency that this issue is happening to other 2017-2018 honda accord owners. Please investigate this issue with honda and have them perform a recall if necessary.

1/10/2020 car wouldn't start. No previous problems. Called honda roadside assistance they provide a jump start in which the car started. Drove the car right to david hobbs honda. They performed test which said everything. 6/4/2020 my car did the exact same thing expect this time I did drive to the dealership after getting a jump start. Later that evening I went to start the car and it wouldn't start. 6/5/2020 morning the car wouldn't start. In all incidents the car would try to turn on but wouldn't, the keyless entry worked, all lights works. The steering wheel locked on all incidents. All incidents the car was stationary. 6/5/2020 my car was towed to david hobbs honda and they notified me the was completely dead when it arrived nothing was working. They called back later in the day after doing testing and once again said all testing was fine. However, they would like to keep my vehicle overnight to see if my car would work in the morning and to do testing again. My vehicle is still at the dealership.

This morning on my way to work I stopped for gas, turned off my car, went to restart when my dash started going crazy and flicking on and off. It wouldn't start again so my husband had to leave work and come jump me, we drove it home, it sat for 3 mins then tried to start it again when the same thing happened. We decided to let the car stay plugged into a trickle battery charger all day while I went to work. After we got home, we decided to test it, and it started right up. We were able to turn it on and off several times without hesitation all until we let 5 mins pass in between starts when the flickering of the dark began again and the car refused to start. My car has less than 50k miles on it, this issue needs to be addressed when so many users are having the same problem. When we got home we checked the battery and it was reading 12voltz. We have found multiple complaints about the same issue from several other owners and would like to know what is being done to resolve the issue. Sources: carcomplaints.com, hondaproblems.com,

Last night I had just gotten home from worked and gone in the house to change for church. Less than 5 minutes later, I returned to my car and when trying to start it, it would start up. Lights flickered on dash, but it wouldn't turn over. Had roadside assistance come to jump start car. Less than 24 hours later, the same thing happened. Car won't start after driving this morning and this afternoon already. This is the third time this his happened this year, with in a few months. Car has less that 50k miles. This needs to be looked into because if I'm in the middle of nowhere, this could be very dangerous.

Car suddenly wont start. Break petal is stuck, dash lights click and wont start. Acts like its the battery but doesn't allow jump. Car has less that 46,000 miles and is 2 yrs old. Current recall out for fuel issues, but the dealer is sure thats not the cause. Contact at the dealer was not helpful at all and kinda rude. Rushed me off the phone when I was asking questions. Very upset
