Hi guys, my wife’s 2010 Accord started having starting problems last month. I brought it to the dealer; they say they tested everything, and that they can’t find anything wrong. Told me next time it won’t start, have it towed to them so they can check a code. Well her and my wife went 48 miles yesterday to look at a college. I didn’t have it towed, called and had it jumped. Started right up as usual with a jump. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.

Loose battery terminal.

Loose battery terminal.

Or corrosion on the negative battery post

Is it a manual transmission?
Does the green immobilizer key light stay on when it shuts off?

There's a small chance you may be under factory warranty still.

Got it tested yesterday by an auto electric shop. Tech said battery tested at 440. Had him replace the battery, we’ll see if that works. Thanks guys.

440 should be enough to start - unless it's really cold in MA. CRVs come with a 410 battery. Anyway, hopefully when they installed the battery they fixed any bad connections with the cables, which would also solve your problem.
