Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE INITIALLY RAN INTO AN ISSUE WHERE IT WOULDN'T START APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO IN 2015. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN ON THE CAR; HOWEVER, STILL NO RECALL FROM HONDA. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR SERVICES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHOPS & HAVE SPENT MONEY REPLACING BATTERIES AS WELL AS OTHER COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRICAL, THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO PERSIST AND THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE IT WON'T START.
