Example complaints
Electrical system: “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.”
