Took the car to the dealership just got it 3 months ago and had issues all last week starting it. It was raining outside pretty good too but not a complete downpour. Anyone have or heard of any issues? They couldn't find anything or replicate it. I figured they wouldn't be able to. They said they checked everything... It's a 06' has 388xx on it right now.

H20 on the ECM of 06 accord for no start? I have never heard of this but who knows. I'm assuming you mean engine cranks, but doesn't start. Not engine does nothing when attempting to crank?

It wouldn't even turn over during the time. I was leaving work it was raining decent and it would not start had to get a jump. It's an 06' has about 38k on it.. Thought it was odd. Honda couldn't replicate it obviously, so they couldn't do anything for me. But they just said to keep an eye on it and if it starts again well.. call them lol.

Nothing done to the car either, it is completely stock.

If it would not turn over then the ECM is out of the question. I am assuming the dealer tested the battery while your car was there. DId they give you a copy of the battery test results? Did you buy your car from that dealer? When you jumped it off did you have to reset the radio code? Does the battery appear original or not? Did any electrical accesories work when the car would not start? There are several possible scenarios that could have happened to make your car not start then and work fine now. Telling me that it happened only in the rain makes me suspicios of a poorly connected battery terminal, but that is just one of those possible scenarios. If that was the case then good the dealer probably corrected it and just did not tell you especially if you bought the car there.

lol. what does a poor battery terminal have to do with rain? unless it was raining 10mm sockets then i dont know how the battery connection would be a problem. and if u took it to a dealer. they suck. cuz they were supposed to check all that basic crap. do a charging sys diag startin sys diag and overall test of the battery. maybe they had the porter check it. LOL

Yes they did test the battery right when I pulled in. I did not get a little receipt but I can always ask for a copy. Did not have to reset battery code when I got a jump. I did buy the car from the dealer I go to. The car I bought was a leased car from NJ. Only 1 owner prior to me.
