It's possible the battery is bad, won't hold a charge, and needs replacing. It was likely a 3-year battery to begin with. There's a good chance the car will start, if you replace the battery.

It's best to never jump a modern-day car--it's too easy to seriously damage the ECM and other electrical components.

. Honda starter motors are very reliable--it's hard to believe there would be anything wrong with yours, especially since it's so new.

. Most auto part stores will test batteries for free--there might be something funky going on with yours.

. Test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:
