Our 2004 Honda Civic wouldn't start, for no apparent reason. We jumped it and my husband then drove it an hour to work. As soon as he turned the car off, the car again would not start. Any idea what the problem could be with such a new car?

Might be the battery is sulfated not taking the charge or the alternator is not putting out.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It has happened 3 times and the shop couldn't figure out why. A different shop just called and said my ABS computer needs to be replaced. Is something like this normal?
