Battery drains out completely and car won't start.. Just 18000 miles. 4 times in 3 days. First time I thought maybe I had not switched off something when I parked so it may have drained. Had to call aaa. After it happened 3 more times in 3 days realized that there is some major issue. Honda has a service bulletin 17-032 but to sure this applies. This being sunday will take it to dealership tomorrow. Too many complaints regarding this issue on the internet.
