2008 HONDA PILOT dead in 15 hours Sign In

We bought this 08 Pilot SE last night at 7:00 p.m. This morning at 10:00 a.m. it was dead.

The battery appears to have juice because the radio, lights, dash, dvd player all fire up when I turn the key.

However, the engine won't turn over at all. When I turn the key, I get a fast repeated clicking sound and everything on the dash flashes quickly.

Starter?

That fast clicking sound is the battery not having enough power to crank start your vehicle.

You need a "jump" but I would demand the dealer, regardless of HOW you get the car started this time, that you get a brand new battery. Put a mark on this one to see if they replace it (or say they do) and hope the mark in not on "the new one".

Hope that helped.
