problem #3

Oct 252014

Accord SE 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 133,000 miles

I bought the car from previous owner at 106K miles. Records and proper vehicle maintenance as required since mile #1. However while the vehicle was with me, problems started right about 120K. CV Joints need replacement, Alignment needed every 4 months or so. Oil leak from engine, need to change oil every 2500 miles instead of every 3K. Starter died at 133K. Maybe more to come.

Accord

  • 208,000 miles

Car will not start whenever temperature drops to 30 degrees and will immediatly start when it warms up to over 34 degrees. This has gone on for five years and was towed into dealer twice where it starts when they pull it into a heated garage - DUH. Thousands of dollars have been spent with no solution.

Took it to Sear to test Battery, Battery tested good. Still doesn't start, just clicks. After a few clicks it fires up. Took to Honda they tested as bad battery. Installed new battery same problem. Honda tested starter & alternator. Same problem.
