    The battery dies intermittently for no reason. I had them temporary fix done in july of 2017. I didn't have any problems with the battery until this week. I have had the battery die twice this week. The car starts fine some days and others it won't. I called honda and they told me the recall had nothing to do with the battery staying charged.

    Initial problem with push button start - would not start on first push. Started at about 55k mileage. Problem has worsened - may start on first push, but sometimes takes many pushes in combination with brake release and depressing or just pushing without touching the brake - then braking and pushing. Very intermittent in terms of how many pushes - sometimes just a couple, sometime 10 or more! Now at just under 60k…
