Car died 10 miles from home after parking it on a cold, rainy night. Had to be towed. Insurance paid for all but $20 of the tow. Dealer said battery was dead. At the time, the car had under 36,000 miles on it. Dealer said battery life depends partly on age, and it's a 2013 car so that battery was at least 4 years old. (And it never had had any problems starting before this.) He insisted on putting in a 100-month Honda battery. That's all he had in stock, he claimed. I think I was ripped off, but I needed my car back so I paid.

Electric would cut out briefly, especially if running the a/c. Found to be the alternator dropping voltage. This had been happening for a couple years at least.
Update: There is a fuse at the battery terminal held in place by a couple of nuts. I discovered one of these to be missing and the other loose shortly after this repair. I secured it in place better than it had been. The car has not dropped its voltage since then, but there is no way to tell if it was the alternator or my small repair. I do strongly suspect it was my repair and I unnecessarily spent a couple hundred dollars, though.
