2011 tsx wouldnt start?
My mom called me up panicking, i think she activated the alarm sitting in the car and the alarm went off when she started it. She later disabled it, came out of the car locked it, unlocked it, went in the car then:::
She states that when turning the ignition the car wouldnt start or crank, describing the sound of relays clicking rapidly. She tried twice, once while talking to me on the phone, she called me two minutes later and told me the car finally started after she waited couple minutes..
I cannot duplicate the problem at all... You think its a bad key communication? No matter what you should be able to start the engine with the original key even with the alarm armd and going off..
I can arm the car and start it with the alarm going off

17 days in the shop, they changed the pcm, gauge cluster blah lah
FU$&@&$ Lemon if you ask me, 30 days im filing lemon law, brand new tsx less then 1500 miles
Im disgusted, we did get a loaner though
If the car dont start with key one, you start it with key two, take key two back out and key one will work.
Last i talked to them when i picked up the loaner they said its been starting all day, how do you diagnos troubleshoot a car when its not acting up.. They said the manufacturer is involved

Got the car back today, they claim it was the main relay, they changed the pcm, gauge cluster and two relays.
He said codes are through the nav menu system, i have not tried to access it yet.
