I am having problems with my car starting… even after replacing the starter 3 times. I am having the exact issue referenced in TSB No.16-002. I can hear the grinding noise but due to the incorrect positioning of the torque converter ring gear, the starter isn’t spinning the engine at startup even after replacing the starter. I can’t afford to keep replacing the starter and have my car not start everyday. Is Honda able to help with this issue?

"system starter" light appears on the dash. Car will not start. Sounds of grinding and almost like a hissing sound coming out. It has to do with the push button start. Something is wrong. Honda is well aware of this issue. I have been reading about it via online for a while, there are quite a few cases of this in all models honda manufactures. It is a very costly repair, one that honda should make a recall or pay us customers back.
