Noises problem
2005 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic

I have my transmission changed last year even though it's been less than 5 years since I've had my car. Lately, when I start the car, sometimes, it won't start. It noise sounds like when people usually start old cars and how you have to try over and over to restart your car. I didn't know whether it's a problem in the transmission again or if there's something wrong with the car battery.

The body shop worker said it'll cost about $300 because of the service fee and something about the star mode and how they have to fix something in the transmission, I just wanted to make sure they were right.

Thank you.

Hi xlolx,

Do you mean the starter is cranking and the engine is not firing up or the starter does not crank at all?
