2015 HONDA ACCORD Electrical Systemstarter Assembly Problems

Vehicle does not start 100% of the time. The safety issue is that being stranded, when it doesn't start , with small children in a rural area is dangerous. The dealer as well as Honda has no solution for the problem. Repairs suggested have all been made and the problem still exists. I know nothing will be done because of this letter, but whomever is reading this I would suggest that you not purchase a Honda product if you care for your family.

My 2015 Honda accord has been giving me problems For more than three years already so every time I turn it on there is a beep three times as soon as I turn on the ignition key then now in Often the car does not turn on, so I have to wait like 30 minutes so the car will start again, also about three times all the lights on the windchill had turn off including the radio in the phone chargers everything was pure black and it was in the middle of the night so I couldn’t see nothing on my way home That’s when I had to stop on the right shoulder on the freeway 14 because I couldn’t see to drive with no lights so I turn off the car and wait for a couple of minutes then the car turn on and the lights went back on...
