During the pandemic, I let the vehicle sit too long without driving it. After that, I had trouble getting the battery to hold a charge so I replaced it. I choose to put in a fancy AGM battery vs. a traditional lead-acid battery as it was more powerful, lighter, and came with a much better warranty. I also paid almost double the price. An experiment.

2900 mi Every time the car was turned off, the clock reset itself to 12AM. Honda spent 5 hrs diagnosing it and determined the entire $895(Parts) + $150(Labor) 'Infotainment' system needed replacement which was covered under warranty. 
1000 mi Backup camera not focused and grainy video 
53400 mi After driving car for 60 days, it suddenly had no electricity throughout vehicle. Battery was checked as were fuses and all came back in good order. My mechanic eliminated the starter and alternator and doubted that it was the neutral safety switch. I went back to the dealer where I purchased the car (used lot) and they took TOTAL control of the situation. The salesman who sold me the car sent a tow truck and just took care of it as if it were his personal car. Toyota of Newnan's service is fantastic, but service after the sale is even better! The problem turned out to be the ground wire leading from the engine bay to the cabin had "gone bad" is what I was told and it was replaced at no charge. My car runs just as it should once again. Thanks Toyota of Newnan!

US $250
Had issues starting for several months. Would hear a single click, then nothing. Often took a few tries before starter would engage, but it would immediately fire up once it did (i.e., it was not straining once it engaged). Battery tested fine and lights did not indicate an electrical problem. Seems to be a common problem with the 9th gen. Dealers usually quote several hundred to replace the starter, so I did it myself with aftermarket part. No issues since. Still need to tear down the old starter and see if I can figure out what was wrong with it.

Car would not start after sitting a few days...or less... took to dealer to figure what was draining battery... put on tester... charged me $125 and said could find nothing...when they attempted to move car it would not start... they then determined it had a bad battery and for the price of a new Honda battery.. about 125 it would be ok... I declined since they already stuck me for about that amount and told the rep I'd get one at Walmart.. I travel a good deal and there is more likely to be a Walmart than a Honda store around me.. plus I wasn't too happy about a charge with no resulting decision of problem... car has been fine since...this was actually the third time I'd taken it to a dealer but the only one that charged me to test the car. The others made wrong diagnosis but did not charge.

19000 mi Seatbelt/power "ON"/headlight warning chime sounded like it might fail. Again, techs checked with Honda TechLine, and found that cold weather could cause the behavior. 
10000 mi Clockspring/cable reel noisy when turning wheel. Tested new Accord V6, and it too made the noise, to a lesser degree. May be covered under TSB, dealer has documented it, and I'll watch the Netz for remedies to suggest. 
15000 mi

US $100
Dealer double-checked SRS clockspring noise per TSB, but did nothing to re-route cable, but may have lubricated things a little--whatever the case, the noise is somewhat quieter. Wanted dealer to perform infotainment update per TSB--they would not, unless I show a specific problem. (This is the only area where my dealer's given me consistent pushback.) 
18000 mi Clockspring replaced per TSB for spontaneous horn activation (which my car's VIN matched, and not the TSB for noisy cable reel itself), but still noisy. Will mention it @ next oil change, but likely will just live with it. :-( Occasionally, the Adaptive Cruise Control will not engage after a vehicle start followed by immediate shift into "Drive." Techs found code related to debris blocking millimeter-wave radar sensor. Could not duplicate. 
25000 mi Infotainment system needed reflashing to current version to correct occasional Bluetooth issues and loss of "Favorites" per TSB.rnrnDealer had been reluctant to do this until problems surfaced. 
28700 mi Horn started sounding intermittently, per TSB previously mentioned. Dealer ordered new wiring harness for steering wheel controls.

I replaced the alternator with a new part and the part was substandard (could not handle AC and head lights at the same time, even though rated for 140 Amps). I returned it and bought another one (also 140A), this time it was re-manufactured. This next one was better, but worse than the factory part. I researched the market and found that only junk Chinese parts were available (Napa, O’Reilly, etc). Decided to get my original alternator (90A) rebuilt. This cost more, but now it works better than it did when it new (~100-110A). I reported this to two different Govt agencies (about the misrepresented current ratings, and replacement part not safe/ working). Nether to date, have contacted me or acknowledged my reports...
