CAR IS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND HAD A DEAD BATTERY TWICE WHEN NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I SPENT $30,000 ON THIS CAR AND MY LOAN IS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING FROM HONDA, CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. I'M SCARED TO TAKE IT FAR BECAUSE I WILL GET STRANDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
