Is it true that Honda made a bad batch of car batteries?

Question

As I have been trying to find information of my car troubles I read that many people have seemed to have problems with Dealership batteries. I bought my car used but took it to replace battery thinking it was covered under the extended warranty. It wasn't. I got a new battery from the dealership anyway as I was stranded out there. Did they put a faulty battery in my car?

Answer 1

Honda don't make batteries, they buy them in. Like all car makers and garages in fact.

Answer 2

Honda makes cars, not batteries.

Since you bought a new one, your better off cos now it's covered under the maker's wrty.

Answer 3

I had a new "dealer" battery (honda labeled) installed in my certified used Honda several years ago.  It actually EXPLODED!  It must have been overfilled and stranded my wife. She thought a gun had been fired nearby.  Upon opening the hood, there was plastic and battery acid everywhere.  I mentioned this to Honda via e-mail and they seemed totally appathic to the risk this presented.  I replaced it with a costco battery and it has been fine since.

Answer 4

Probably not who cares it just a batttery which is very minor.

Answer 5

honda doesnt make batteries, dont blame them , they get them from santa

Answer 6

"honda" is very renowned brand in industry.

  i not think that what u r saying that is correct.

Answer 7

Honda does not make any batteries. Any battery will fail in time, on average they last 3-5 years, seen some fail in less than 2 years others last 7+ years. Heat and severe vibration shortens the battery life, as does overcharging, such as in a faulty charging system. Or letting a battery discharge completely.
