| Description of the problem | I have owned the car since august 3, 2007. Only superior honda and jeff wyler honda has serviced my car. July, 1, 2014 the starter made a clicking noise especially when first starting the car in the morning. Jeff wyler just gave me a statement from honda corporation office stating that if a customer complains about a clicking noise do not bother to fix it. There is nothing you can do it is a quirk with the starter relay system. Just tell them to turn the key faster. I have turned my key the same way for the past 7 years and have never heard this sound. If this is a "known" quirk since 2001 then why don't they get an engineer to design a new starter. I am sure the starter is going bad in the car. It never did this before, but the service manager at performance honda which i took it to at the advice of the case manager at honda corporation told me he could make all the hondas on his lot make the same sound. God forbid if you had a disability and could not turn your key fast enough you would never get your car started. This is ridiculous. If they replace my starter they tell me it will have the same problem, but why did this only start happening now? I am afraid to drive my car more than 15 miles from home. I want to visit my daughter in florida who is in the navy, but i am afraid to drive the car that far. *js |
