The Electric, Keyless STARTER is trying to go out since before the Warranty went out and I was told it would cost MORE than I had to pay for it at the time. I thoroughly researched this car before I bought it and for the Money I have in it, I am somewhat disappointed because problems started before the warranty ran out. Not sure if I would buy it again."
Diana P., GA (2015 Honda Accord Touring 3.5-L V6)"Phone pairing is hit-and-miss. The manual is over 600 pages with numerous errors. Even the oil change volume with filter is wrong (much understated). And Honda doesn't seem to care, even a little."
