Two days ago the sunroof opened on its own while car was parked and off. It opened overnight during a rainstorm. I closed the sunroof. I was puzzled but the car seemed fine and drove fine. Today the car is completely dead. It jump-started but there numerous symbols lit on the dashboard so my mechanic advised me to have it towed, it is not safe to drive.

It wouldn't start again so my husband had to leave work and come jump me, we drove it home, it sat for 3 mins then tried to start it again when the same thing happened. We decided to let the car stay plugged into a trickle battery charger all day while i went to work. After…

Electrical system failure. Had to replace the battery and that didn't work. The safety features on the car are no longer operating (abs, lkas, acc). These features all stopped working while driving on the highway. This was terrifying and could be an issue if someone is used to having these features available and all of a sudden they don't work. If a driver is dependent on these safety features after driving for…

For the second time in less than two months, the emissions/electrical/check engine on the 2017 honda accord is an issue.

The last time i had this problem the converter had to be replaced. The system error comes on when driving when raining, which makes me believe…

Car suddenly wont start. Break petal is stuck, dash lights click and wont start. Acts like its the battery but doesn't allow jump. Car has less that 46,000 miles and is 2 yrs old. Current recall out for fuel issues, but the dealer is sure thats not the cause. Contact at the dealer was not helpful at all and kinda rude. Rushed me off the phone when i was asking questions. Very upset
