What is your question?
I have a 2016 Honda Accord Coupe and woke up one morning without being able to start it. I've had no problems with this before, except when the battery died last year. I noticed a few days before this incident, there was a burning smell while I was driving, but I didn't think too much of it. Everything else was normal. I'm going to explain the exact situation below. I have push start, so when I press the brake down to start the car, it's very stiff almost to where it can barely move. I press the start engine button and it just lights up green and rings 6 times. That's it. It doesn't start or even crank. However, the headlights, emergency lights, and other lights still work in the car. The car remote still locks and unlocks the door, opens the trunk, etc. We tried to jump the car, but it didn't help. I called the dealership and they can't see me until September 19th, so I really need advice.
How long has your 2016 Honda Accord had this problem?
Almost 2 weeks

Hi - Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Sounds like a likely starter motor issue. If the starter motor has an internal failure, it will not engage to start the vehicle. As long as the battery has sufficient charge and is able to sustain a load, then it would lead to the starter motor as the most likely cause of your concern. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link to find some shops near you who can help out!
