- replace the battery (3 reports)
Early in having this car the battery randomly died and wouldn't restart (this happened often and will be reporting separate times) and had to be replaced by AAA. I didn't leave the lights on or leave my car undriven for too long or any typical human error that would kill the battery, it just died randomly. Even before the next time it died and the time after that I needed to jumpstart my car OFTEN.
This was the final time it died before someone crashed into my car and it was totaled, but after this time I actually didn't need to jumpstart my car every other week like before. I think the AAA battery that was put in might have been newer/a little more powerful than the standard Honda one or size/voltage that's supposed to be in it.
Again, no typical neglect happened to warrant this, the battery on this car just died often and needed to be fully replaced almost annually.

2nd or 3rd time I needed to fully replace the battery and since getting the car to this point and beyond I had to jumpstart it often. Not from not being driven or a light being left on overnight or anything like that, it would just randomly die and die often. All you could do if it wouldn't jumpstart is replace the battery, which wasn't too expensive with AAA but would make me miss work or appointments enough to be a hassle, and my hunch is that the battery put in this year's model wasn't appropriately powerful for the CPU of the car.
