Maybe next time I'm at the dealership, I'll ask to replace the battery while under warranty, just in case and just to show documentation of issues ,in case that helps any future lemon law problems (which I doubt will happen anyway). That's if the darn dealership returns my calls, I'm so not...
I've only had the car for maybe 8 months and really don't like the idea of replacing the battery already, especially still being under warranty, but group 35 agm - got it, thanks. Too bad warrant can't cover an outside purchase like this.
I appreciate all your diligence and testing! I already figured I'd get a lithium batter car starter thing, and for my kids when the prices come down (black friday?), but just for those rare situations. It sucks that modern cars do draw so much power! I'll have to test out my accessory mode, for...
Ha now accessories is going to get stuck in my head! Anyway, ACC is Automatic Cruise Control. A nice feature when it works as advertised, which basically allows the car to decelerate itself when getting behind a slow-poke and accelerate itself back to the cruise control setting when it's safe. I...
@SCOPESYS - good ideas, thanks! I've been looking into those rechargeable battery jumpers so I don't need another vehicle to get started, just in case no matter the situation. Plus I've heard they're a little easier on the battery than jumping from another car. And yes, they do grow up too fast...
@SCOPESYS - thanks for letting the curiosity get to you! So it does stand to reason that my daughter killed the battery by charging her phone with the car in low power (not off, not fully on) mode. Sigh. I agree and when it's time to change the battery, I'll research capacities, name brands, all...
That sucks about your battery issues too. I guess at least it tells me it's a Honda thing, not the dealership trying to avoid putting time/money/effort into figuring things out. (The dealership has told me "oh it's normal for Civics..." when it came to other random issues, which they finally...
I bought a 2018 Honda Civic Touring in March of '18. I have a few odd things happening that I'm either being told are 'normal', or I'm just not sure I should invest in upgrades. So I'm hoping that others with the SAME year, model and trim as my car can see if these things happen for them, too...
So I hope you guys are still checking this thread!
In March, I bought a new 2018 Honda Civic Touring. In July, my daughter sat in the car to charge her phone in accessory mode - the first button push where climate controls are not on, etc., and visually just the radio. Doors closed, lights off...
