2015 HONDA CR-V Electrical System Problems

Case #16014967 Topic: Recalls/Campaigns VIN: [XXX] Vehicle Mileage: 64,935 Description: Subject: Transmission Recall Concern – 2015 Honda CR-V CVT Dear American Honda Customer Service / NHTSA, I am reporting transmission problems with my 2015 Honda CR-V that appear directly related to the CVT transmission recall and service bulletin for 2015–2016 models. Timeline of Events: • Aug 25, 2025: Vehicle lost battery charge despite a new battery; AAA confirmed battery was good but required a jump. • Oct 29, 2025: Battery failed again; required another jump. • Nov 30, 2025: Battery dead once more; AAA again confirmed battery was good but not charging. After replacement, the car stalled mid-road, “D” light disappeared, and only restarting allowed me to move briefly. • Dec 1, 2025: Mechanic confirmed transmission fluid was fine. Shortly after, vehicle experienced jolts, “D” light disappeared, and car stalled completely near home. It would only move in reverse and had to be rolled back to the mechanic. Diagnostic Results: • P0741 – Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off • P0780 – Shift Malfunction • P0746 – Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance/Stuck Off • P1898 – CVT Drive Pulley Pressure Control Valve Stuck ON/OFF These codes match known CVT transmission issues documented by Honda, including hydraulic pressure regulation failures and belt slippage. My vehicle has never received recall updates or PCM reprogramming, yet it is now showing the exact failures described in Honda’s bulletin. Although my VIN does not currently appear in Honda’s recall database, I request that Honda review my case and extend recall or goodwill coverage, as the defect is clearly present and poses a serious safety risk. I also ask NHTSA to record this complaint since my vehicle is excluded despite being the same year/model with identical failures. Please confirm recall eligibility and advise on next steps for repair. I INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

The contact purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 82,564. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the engine mileage was 224,000.

Mileage: 224,000

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 66,812 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 204,000.

Mileage: 204,000

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that since owning the vehicle, the battery had been replaced four times. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while pressing the START/STOP button. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle occasionally shut off while accelerating, forcing the contact to have the vehicle jump-started. The contact replaced the battery; however, the failure returned approximately a year later. The contact called several dealers and was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system that caused the battery to continuously drain even while the vehicle was off. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000.

Mileage: 137,000

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 81,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 191,000.

Instrument panel lights Check engine light, TPMS, VAS, EPS lights come on. Had the car serviced. Lights comes on after driving for the while they turn off. Occurred 5 times in the last month.

After using the button on the door handle to lock the door, the door unlocks on its own. The handle sensor stays activated until the battery drains.

[XXX] 2015 Honda CRV would not start, called AAA who determined battery needed to be replaced. AAA replaced battery on the spot upon purchase. [XXX] 2015 Honda CRV would not start, called AAA who determined battery was bad, needed to be replaced, AAA replaced with a AAA battery. Battery drain continued, exhausted the AAA road side allotment. 10/2023 Local Service Center checked battery and determined AAA was bad. Purchased and had Interstate Battery installed. Battery drain continued. Purchased AllStart Microburst to jump start the 2015 Honda CRV. 12/15/2023 Went to Balise Honda (see attachments) for diagnostic testing. Balise Honda provided a diagnostic result for the "good" battery, but determined that the Remote Start System that was installed by Boch Honda when I purchase the 2015 Honda CRV on [XXX] was the problem. The remote start was disconnected. 9/17/2024 Went back to Balise Honda requested another diagnostic test. Car needed to be "jump started" almost daily even though the CRV is driven daily to charge the battery. Disconnecting the remote start did not solve the battery drain. Balise determined a $3212.12 Instrument Panel Wire Harness and Keyless Access Unit was needed. No diagnosis report provided. 10/9/2024: To date the electrical cause is uncertain. Found a Consumer Reports article that confirmed there are issues with the 2015 Honda CRV: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Upon pushing start/stop button, CR-V won't start. It's at random times the issue happens. Battery was replaced in the last 6 months. 9/23. Still having issues. Replaced the actual start/stop push button in the cabin. Still having issues. After taking CR-V to Honda dealership, they were able to reproduce the issue and it was determined the starter needs replaced. This SUV has only 77k miles. If you would like more proof as to why this issue for the 2015 needs to have a recall, I would gladly guide you over to the Honda CR-V owner's club and provide numerous posts of people who have replaced their starter specifically in a 2015 with mileage under 80k. A current coworker is experiencing the same issue on his 2015 CR-V EX as well, also in the 70k mileage range. If the reason couldn't be more obvious as to why this is a safety issue, starter failure would leave people stranded.

For the very first time I've noticed that my car won't start in a normal way. It was a couple of months ago. It was driving fine back then. Two weeks ago, not only my car won't start many lights came on including the engine service light. I took my car to Columbia Honda dealership; they only tested my battery and told me the battery was fine. So, they let me go. On [XXX] my car experienced the same symptoms but this time besides all these lights that came on, my car was not accelerating, just started stalling, therefore I had to take it to the closest shop which is Custom complete automotive that is 0.5 miles away from me. At first, they weren't able to identify the issue, but they found a service bulletin issued by Honda on March 18 , 2016,(please find it attached to my email) according to which there were multiple complaints from the Honda customers about the same issues that are connected to each other. Those are: crank sensor malfunction, O-ring, Intake manifold gasket A, Engine Wire Harness. Based on this Bulletin, Custom complete automotive manager Kyle recommended that all those parts needed to be replaced but the repair cost is enormous so I've decided only on the crank sensor to be replaced so that I can proceed with further repairs while be able to drive my car (I've attached the Invoice from Custom automotive for the crankshaft sensor including their labor work and diagnostics). Last night same symptoms appeared (car won't start and was stalling) and I took it to Honda service again. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the vehicle would randomly go into "Accessory Mode". During the failure, the vehicle could not be turned off or shifted into gear. The gear shifter was not functional, and the battery had to be disconnected to turn the vehicle off. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer on several occasions and the computer, battery, remote starter, and starter were replaced; however, the failures persisted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

The starter button must be pressed multiple times to start the vehicle. Have had an attempted repaired twice and problem persists. I understand there is a recall for this problem in other countries.

We’ve noticed over the pass several weeks starting the engine issues. After fully turning the key to start, the vehicle wouldn’t engage. The dashboard lights up but the car do not start. At first it would start in the second attempt but recently it takes up to (3) attempts before it starts

I have a 2015 Honda CRV and approximately 18-24 months ago the battery went dead and I took it to the Honda dealer. They checked the battery and said it was fine. I thought perhaps I left my lights on. A short time later, the battery went dead again. I took it back to the same dealer (February 19, 2022) and they gave me a new battery. A short time later, the battery went dead yet again. I returned to the dealer (August 1, 2022) and they gave me a second battery. A short time later, it went dead again. I returned to the dealer (October 26, 2022), insisting to them it couldn't be the battery - there must be something else wrong. They completed a parasitic draw procedure, charged $939.67 and claimed to have fixed it. A short time later, the battery went dead yet again. I returned to the dealer (November 16, 2022) and the service manager told me there was nothing more they could do, they already spent countless time on this issue and that I just needed to drive the car more. On October 13, 2023, the battery went dead yet again. This time, I contacted Honda Customer Service and was assigned a case manager who proceeded to tell me that I needed to go back to the dealer and obtain a diagnosis before they could help me. On October 31, 2023, I contacted the service manager at the dealer who told me he was going to charge me by the hour and that the diagnosis may take many hours to determine. There is clearly a defect with this car! There is a class action lawsuit pending which includes many, many prior complaints made to NHTSA on this issue. I am not motivated to continue to pay a dealer to fix an issue that apparently should have been solved by a product recall.

Doors lock and unlock by themselves all the time

5/28/2023: Vehicle won’t start, AAA called and towed it to repair facility where they claimed they fixed the issue (battery replacement) 6/01/2023: Vehicle traveling WB SR520, where all dashboard warning lights started illuminating. At the same time, steering wheel locks up and infotainment screen shuts off. Was able to get vehicle off the freeway and onto the shoulder of a nearby exit ramp where it eventually died. Called AAA again and had it towed back to the repair facility once again, where this time, the alternator failed.

My vehicle has had multiple parasitic battery events where the battery has been completely drained overnight. I have replaced the battery six times since May of 2022. I took my vehicle to my auto repair shop and they checked every fuse in the vehicle and could not find the problem. The shop called the Honda Dealer service center to get advice on what the problem might be and the dealer was unable to provide any recommended solution. I suspect the problem has something to do with a faulty automatic door lock/unlock system. When I approach the vehicle with my key fob, the vehicle will unlock the doors without me touching the door handle. When I get out of the car and push the button on the door handle to lock the doors it does lock, however as I walk away from the car, the doors unlock without me touching the door handle or any part of the car.

There is a current active class action lawsuit against Honda motors regarding the battery draining issue in Honda CRV'S. The case is in the United States District Court southern district of Iowa central division. Case # [XXX]. The lawsuit mentions Honda CRV'S dating back to 2017. My wife owns a 2015 Honda CRV that has the same exact battery draining issue. Her CRV was recalled in 2018 for a software update that was supposed to correct the issue but it didn't. Since 2018 my wife and I have had to replace the battery 3 times in 4 years. On November 16th, 2022 we replaced the battery with a new one and just 19 days later that brand new battery was dead. This Honda battery draining defect obviously goes further back than 2017. Honda dealerships along with Honda motors are aware of this problem and doing absolutely nothing about this.

The power steering light intermittently comes on and nearly locks the steering wheel. This occurs without warning while driving. Turning the vehicle off and on sometimes resolves the issue. This occurs without warning and makes steering very difficult. My mechanic confirmed the vehicle is showing a code for the power steering system and said the only solution was to replace the electronic motor. The warning light does not come on until the steering wheel stiffens up. This has occurred many times at various speeds. There seems to be no pattern. Sometimes it does not happen for a week or two, other times it happens multiple times in a day.

Three times the vehicle would not start while at Walmart parking lot since over February 2020. I push the button to start and it wont start. The air condition/heater does not work since winter of 2021/2022. The electrical system has gone haywire twice. The lights on dashboard flash and the numbers roll all over since 2021. The door locks are not wanting to lock now for the past 12 months. while I was inside the car the door would not unlock The engine seems to stall for the past 8 months. It feels like it is not getting gas. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times for the air with no positive results yet.

I noticed the car shook at first in park or at a light. I made Honda aware 1 month in at 25K miles and was told it was a common flaw with my year make and model and there was nothing to be done. It progressed over 1 year into vigarously shaking while in reverse. I was driving on the road and my car completely cut off on me without warning. It would restart, the ac blew hot, then cut back off. I was almost hit from behind while traffic kept going. I got out of the car for safety to have it towed to the Honda dealership. While off the tow, the car started back up again and went into drive. However, the check engine light was still on and the shaking was still ongoing. Honda told me they cleared the codes and could find nothing wrong. I made them keep the car. It has now been two week. After about 5 days they told me a list of the following problems: 1.engine harnes1.engine harness had s had corrosion due to coolant leakage 2.speed sensor and both transmission warmer coolant hoses with clamps needed repair 3. Transmission side mount 4. Evaporator canister vent shut valve stuck closed 5. front engine mount is collapsed My warranty company refused to repair issue #1 and #2 due to the corrosion. Honda charged me $1800 to repair the problem. The service manager mentioned in a phone call that my car was salvage while reading an email from his district manager. I can not find out if this is in fact true and the sold me a certified pre owned care under false pretenses. I want to make others aware.

Starter motor failed at 40000 miles.Unable to start car on road at night. Dealer replaced $900.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would not start. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

In June 2016, my Honda CR-V 2015 broke down, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to a Honda Dealership - Diamond Bar, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2138, did not solve the problem, and sent me home. The vehicle broke down once again, only for them to claim again that they could not recreate the problem. The vehicle had 12,000 miles on it at this time. I filed a complained with the NHTSA at this time. In September 2017, my Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to a Honda Dealership - Alhambra, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2647 and fixed the issue. The vehicle had 35,000 miles on it at this time. Now, in August 2021, my Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was driven to a local mechanic, where he diagnosed the car to have 4 OBII codes and recommended taking it to a Honda. I took it to a Honda Dealership - Buena Park, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2128 only, said they don't take recommendations from other mechanics, and replaced in the APP Sensor and gas pedal. The vehicle had 83,000 miles on it at this time. Only 1 week later, My Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. My ODII code diagnosed the issue as a P2138 - the exact same code diagnosed and not fixed by Honda - Diamond Bar, CA back in 2016. When I called Honda Buena Park about the car breaking down again, they stated they will charge me another $150 diagnosis fee to look at it again. The above codes have the same issues over and over again, and I believe this vehicle should have a recall with no individual/franchise dealership willing to bite the bullet, looking to yank customer's chains to make the most amount of money for simple fixes. Thank you

Car won’t start just clicks. Read that this could be related to an engine recall that I had fixed by Honda.

*Draining new battery *Only 22,000 miles on this vehicle and have replaced Alternator, Fuses, Starter, 3 Batteries in 5 years of having this vehicle. Now its parked again cause electrical is making battery dead. *Manufacturer does not know what it can be. *No check engine code pops up. Please check for recall on my 2015 Honda CR-V. I have read there is a Lawsuit on this issue. Why isn't there a recall so my dealership can fix or replace. Wasting lots of money on this issue they can not find.

Purchased a 2015 CRV EX in 2018. Recently I've started having an issue where on the first or second attempts to start the car with the push button start, the car doesn't crank but clicks and only goes to Accessory mode. Generally the car will finally start after pushing the button 3-6 times. There have been situations where I was almost stranded in inclement weather conditions and unsafe surroundings. There is an existing class action law suit against Honda for CRV's 2017-2019 for: Parasitic Draw Defect. CRV's built PRIOR to 2017 were not recognized and recalled. According to this Honda class action lawsuit, the problem with the starter motor may be a lack of adequate clearance between the two gears where the starter motor connects to the engine. This lack of clearance can cause the starter motor to wear prematurely, preventing the vehicle from starting. I have changed the battery and the issue still persists. I have called my local Honda dealer and asked them to honor the recall but they stated that the 2015 CRV is not included in the recall even though the issues are identical to the those reported with the 2017-2019 CRV's. Other CRV owners have been experiencing the same issues: 2015 Intermittent Starting Issue forum - https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/2015-intermittent-starting-issue.202844/ 2015 CR-V Starting Issue forum - https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/2015-cr-v-starting-issue.212523/

I AM ON MY THIRD CAR BATTERY FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER FIVE YEARS OLD. I AM REPLACING THE BATTERIES EVERY 2-3 YEARS WHICH SEEMS A BIT RIDICULOUS. SO FAR, I AM OUT $330. I HAVE TRIED BOTH OEM AND NON-OEM BATTERIES, AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS STRANDED IN A STORE PARKING LOT. A FAMILY MEMBER CAME AND JUMP STARTED MY CAR, THEN FOLLOWED BEHIND ME AS I DROVE TO THE DEALER TO GET THE BATTERY CHECKED AND THEN LATER TO AN AUTO STORE WHERE I REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE GUY THAT REPLACED MY BATTERY SAID HE HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH HIS CRV. THE SECOND TIME (ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT), WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR AFTER DRIVING TO A STORE, THE CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING AND WHEN IT FINALLY TURNED OVER, MY DASHBOARD WAS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AWD, VSA, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE, AND SEEING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CRVS, I KNEW THAT IT WAS LIKELY THE BATTERY. THE PLACE I WENT TO CHECKED THE BATTERY AND SURE ENOUGH, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I TRIED CALLING HONDA TO ASK ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DENIED THAT IT WAS EVEN AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS RECENTLY FILED FOR 2017-2019 HONDA CRVS. ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE LIKELY GOES BACK MUCH FURTHER, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PREVENTED EARLIER MODELS FROM BEING INCLUDED. THIS IS LIKELY A HONDA ISSUE, WHERE SOMETHING WAS NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WITHOUT A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING BATTERY, IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES MIGHT FAIL. THE DRIVER IS ALSO AT RISK OF GETTING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. MY CAR HAS HAD INTERMITTENT RANDOM TROUBLE STARTING THE WHOLE TIME I'VE HAD IT. (THERE'S NO PATTERN TO IT).

BATTERY HAS DIED EVERY YEAR. I HAVE REPLACED 5 BATTERIES. A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AT ENGINE FUSE #29. REMOVING THE FUSE STOPS THE DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. THE CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO THE DEAD BATTERY AFTER SITTING IDLE FOR ONE DAY.

JUST PURCHASED A 2015 CRV EX. EVERYTHING WAS COPASETIC UNTIL THE FIRST TIME IT WOULDN'T START UP. WHEN I PRESSED THE IGNITION I LET OFF THE BRAKE SEEMINGLY TOO EARLY, BECAUSE AS SOON AS I DID SO, IT PUTTED TO A HALT. TURNED IT OVER ON A JUMP AND CHALKED IT UP TO LEAVING A LIGHT ON OR OLD/WEEK BATTERY. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME, ABOUT TWO AND THREE WEEKS LATER WAS REASON TO BE BECAUSE OF THE SAME CAUSE. THEN THE OCCASIONAL NOT STARTING TURNED INTO NEEDING A JUMP EVERY TIME I USED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO TWO AUTO SUPPLY STORES TO GET CODES ON THE ISSUE. ONR SHOP SAID BAD ALTERNATOR DIODE, THE OTHER A BAD ALTERNATOR AND BAD BATTERY. THEN THE BATTERY BLEW UP. I KILLED THE CAR WHEN I GOT HOME AND TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN TO SEE IF THE BATTERY HELD A CHARGE. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT OVER AGAIN, I PUSHED THE BUTTON IMMEDIATELY AFTER PRESSING IT OFF. I IMAGINE I TRIED TO START IT TOO SOON TO WHEN I KILLED IT BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEEP BOOM, TO FIND OUT THE BATTERY BLEW UP. THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THR SIDE OF IT. SO I PUT IN A NEW/USED/ LARGER BATTERY THAT WAS NEVER ABLE TO START THE CAR ITSELF SO I CONTINUED JUMPING IT EVERY TIME I USED IT SND NEVER TURNING IT OFF WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS. AT ONE POINT I HAD A FRIEND PUT HIS MULTIMETER TO USE TO TEST THE ALTERNSTOR. THOSE NUMBERS WHERE ALL OVER THE PLACE, JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON AN IDLE. AT THIS POINT IVE CHALKED IT UP TO A BAD DIODE, PARASITIC DRAIN, OR BAD WIRING. HELP! I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS THING.

THE STARTER ON THIS CAR COMPLETELY DIED AT ABOUT 56,000 MILES. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. HONDA WAS RESPONSIVE WHEN I REACHED OUT TO ASK IF THE PART WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY GAVE ME A $300 GIFT CARD FOR MY TROUBLE EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN I SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH A 2015 CRV HAVE ISSUES WITH THE STARTER. I BELIEVE THE PART IS FAULTY, AND COULD BE A SAFETY RISK DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY TO GET STUCK ON MY OWN ON A WARM DAY IN A SAFE AREA. I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2018 AND AM JUST SHOCKED THAT A PART WHICH IS SO VITAL TO THE BASIC FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR WOULD DIE WITHIN A FEW YEARS. I WANTED TO MAKE A REPORT SO THAT THIS IS ON RECORD AND WOULD HOPEFULLY LEAD TO A RECALL.

MY BATTERY HAS HAD ISSUES FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I'VE PUT IN 3 BATTERIES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND I'M STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHERE MY CAR WON'T START AFTER ONLY SITTING FOR A DAY. IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND THE PARASITIC BATTERY DRAIN BUT IT'S SINCE GOTTEN WORSE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DEAD 3 TIMES AFTER ONLY SITTING FOR A DAY SINCE THE DEALERSHIP 'FOUND THE PROBLEM.'

THE CAR HAS STARTER ISSUES, I'VE REPLACED BATTERY, KEY BATTERY AND HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT RELAYS, STARTER AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER, COULDN'T FIX IT. ALSO DURING RAIN, THE CAR HAS LEAK PROBLEM ON THE ROOF AREA WHERE THE INDOOR LIGHTS ARE LOCATED. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THE WIPER BLADES DON'T TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS AND STILL DON'T HAVE THE BLADES TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I DRIVE CAR TO WORK 3 DAYS A WEEK AND BEEN PATIENT ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND HAD ONLY 17000 MILES. BOUGHT GAP INSURANCE DUE TO IT BEING USED CAR. WHEN RAINING IT'S PARKED WHEN IT LEAKS DURING HEAVY RAINS. IT'S TAKES 5 TO 10 ATTEMPTS WHEN TRYING TO START. I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BUT NOT REPORTED. I PURCHASED IT IN 2018, IT HAS SOME BODY DAMAGE BUT DIDN'T QUESTION IT. HAD BAD TIRES AND GOT NEW ONES. LATELY I'VE NOTICE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. LOOK AT ALL FUSES. STILL NO STARTER FIXED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHECK THESE ISSUES, EVEN HONDA COULDN'T SOLVE THE STARTER PROBLEMS.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. CAR WON'T START AT TIMES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT I WAS GETTING GAS AT WAWA THEN GOT BACK IN AND CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS STATED FLICKERING AND A BUZZING SOUND WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THEN ON A SIDE STREET IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO START. I TOOK TO MECHANIC WHO CHANGED THE STARTER 2 DIFFERENT TIMES IN 2 DAYS. AND NOW IT WON'T START AGAIN. ALSO MY OIL IS EITHER BURNING OR LEAKING OUT. I HAVE HAD THAT ADDRESSED BY A MECHANIC AS WELL. THAT TOO WAS NEVER FIGURED OUT ON MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BY HALL HONDA WHO REPORTED IT AS NOT EVEN HAPPENING. AND NOW AGAIN THERE IS NO OIL IN THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN DILIGENT ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES. I HAVE BROKEN DOWN IN THIS CAR ON SIDE STREETS, IN PUBLIC PARKING PLACES AND IN UNSAFE AREAS. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTTING A GOOD DEPENDABLE VEHICLE WITH HONDA. BUT I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.

BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD AFTER AFTER NOT BEING USED FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED IN JAN 2019 AND THE NEW BATTERY HAS DIED TWO TIMES ALREADY BOTH TIME HEAVY CORROSION HAS APPEARED AROUND THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. A CHARGE OVERNIGHT HAS ALLOWED ME TO START THE CAR AND GET IT TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMS, EVERY TIME, THAT THE BATTERY IS OK. . A WEB SEARCH CAME UP WITH A POSSIBLE SERVICE BULLETIN 16-011 (WHICH IS CORROSION OF THE HARNESS AND WIRING BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND SENSORS.) I HAVE AN AILING WIFE AND NEVER KNOW WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE HER SOMEWHERE IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD. WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK OF AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE IS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHY ISNT A RECALL BEING MADE?

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WOULD MAKE A CRANKING SOUND BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES OF ME PUSHING THE START BUTTON FOR THE CAR TO START. THAT DAY I BROUGHT IT TO HONDA AND HONDA TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD BATTERY SO THEY REPLACED IT. THREE MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY THREE-SIX MONTHS HOWEVER HONDA IS NO LONGER REPLACING THE BATTERY AS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS BEING LEFT ON IN MY CAR. I DO NOT HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM. THE CAR WILL BE PARKED OVER NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON IT WILL NOT START OR TAKE SEVERAL TRIES OF ME PUSHING THE START BUTTON FOR IT TO START. IT WILL MAKE A CRANKING SOUND WHEN IT TRIES TO START BUT WILL NOT CATCH OR TAKES SEVERAL TRIES. HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR STARTING FOR THE 2015 CRV MODEL BUT STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE THE STARTED REPLACED ON MY HONDA 2015 CR-V. THE VIN NUMBER IS: [XXX]; VA LICENSE [XXX]; MILEAGE 47,332. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A VEHICLE OF THAT YEAR AND SUCH A LOW MILEAGE WITH STARTER PROBLEMS AND HAVING THE STARTED REPLACED. THE FINAL BILL FOR THE WORK CONDUCTED WAS $727.16, INCLUDING PARTS, LABOR AND TAXES. I SUSPECT THAT STARTER PROBLEMS ARE INHERITED FROM A POOR DESIGN WHERE THE STARTER IS EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE MANIFOLD. THEREFORE, ALL CR-VS' DESIGNED IN A SAME MANNER ARE RELEGATED TO THE SAME FLAW. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE FORCED TO INCUR THE UNREASONABLE COST OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTER AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. DONE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

BATTERY DISCHARGES FREQUENTLY (CAR WILL NOT START) BEGINNING WHEN LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD, NEW BATTERY SAME PROBLEM. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM (EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED ONCE IN THEIR SHOP). NOT RELATED TO FREQUENT SHORT TRIPS (DEALER SUGGESTION) AS WE TRACKED OCCURRENCE WITH DIFFERENT TRIP LENGTHS WITH SAME UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS. KEEPING BATTERY ON CHARGER DAILY SEEMS TO HELP, BUT MUST BE DONE DAILY OR ELSE PROBLEM REOCCURS. PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING -- CAN BE AFTER SHORT STOP (SHOPPING) OR OVERNIGHT (IN GARAGE). CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT -- SHORT?; RELAY? HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEARS. HONDA DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP AND NOW VEHICLE IS OFF WARRANTY.

HONDA CR-V NEEDS RANDOM JUMP STARTS DESPITE HAVING A NEW BATTERY. PROBLEM BEGAN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. HEADLIGHTS DIM ON OCCASION AFTER INITIAL START AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED BY BATTERY ALONE INSTEAD OF ALTERNATOR. DEALERSHIP INITIALLY STATED THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEN SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE MECHANICS IF THE CAR'S COMPUTER DID SELF DIAGNOSTICS AFTER STOPPING THE ENGINE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL TOWED AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER SHUTTING DOWN ENGINE. IT'S COMPLETELY RANDOM AND OCCURS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. I CAN TELL THE NIGHT BEFORE IT NEEDS A JUMP WHEN THEY HONDA CR-V HESITATES BEFORE STARTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BATTERY FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. WEST COUNTY HONDA (15532 MANCHESTER RD, ELLISVILLE, MO 63011, (636) 391-6900) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

Mileage: 20,000

MULTIPLE HONDA BATTERIES DIED ON THE SAME CAR. ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED WITHIN MONTHS OF PURCHASING BRAND NEW CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THEN THE REPLACEMENT DID THE SAME THING. THEY REPLACED IT. NOW THE BATTERY IS DYING AGAIN. WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE FOR EVEN 20 MINUTES. WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. DEAD. JUMP IT. DEAD AT THE VERY NEXT STOP. THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY STORIES ON HONDA MESSAGE BOARDS ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT THING. I'M A SINGLE WOMAN WHO HAS TO BE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I COULD BE MURDERED IN A PARKING LOT TRYING TO JUMP START THE CAR WHEN IT DIES AFTER 10 - 20 MINUTES. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT.

THE VEHICLE ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES WHEN IDLING. AFTER 3 YEARS, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD A BAD DIODE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER GETTING STUCK AND THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE ALTERNATOR WAS ONLY CHARGING THE BATTERY 84%. IN ADDITION, IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERIES USED BY HONDA AND SOME OTHER POSSIBLE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS PER ONLINE BLOGS. TO BE HONEST, MY VEHICLE IS 38 MONTHS OLD AND HAS APPROX 51K MILES, MAKING IT OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WOULD ALSO BE FAIR TO SAY THAT AFTER HAVING WORK DONE AT THE DEALER THROUGH OUT THE YEARS THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE SHON UP OR BEEN ADDRESSED SOONER. IT IS ALSO OF MY OPINION THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

IF YOU PUT THE VEHICLE IN ACCESSORY MODE OR ON BATTERY WITHOUT TURNING THE ENGINE ON THE BATTERY WILL DIE.

I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING TWICE WITHIN AN 11 DAY PERIOD DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE ON THE WIRING (HARNESS) OF MY VEHICLE. 1ST TIME WAS ON 10/10/2017 AS I WAS BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY THAT REQUIRES A COUPLE OF SHARP TURNS. ALMOST HIT A WALL. I MISSED 2 APPTS. AND HONDA CHARGED ME $320 FOR THE REPAIR. 2ND TIME I HAD JUST STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE SAME LSAK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND AGAIN NO POWER STEERING. HONDA DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THIS REPAIR. I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD BY HONDA FOLKS THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE RECENT USE OF SOY IN THE WIRING COVERS. HONDA WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND YET THEY SELL A PART NO. HONDA 4019-2317 RODENT TAPE. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND THIS IS MY 4TH HONDA AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAVE THE REPAIR DOCUMENTS BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO COPY AND SEND TO YOU.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL ABOUT A BLOCK FROM MY HOMEWHEN ALL OF THE "TROUBLE" LIGHTS CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TUNED AROUND AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS SO LOW THAT I BARELY MADE IT THE BLOCK HOME. I PARKED AND CALLED HONDA SERVICE. WHE I FOUND OUT THAT SINCE MY CAR HAD 47,000 MILES ON IT AND HONDA TOWING WOULD COST $160, I HAD THE CAR TOWED BY A LOCAL SERVICE FOR $100 TO THE DEALER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY (IT HAPPENED ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY), THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE MECHANICS COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BY STARTING THE CAR. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DRIVE IT. THE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS CORROSION BETWEEN THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE SENSOR CONNECTOR. THE PARTS TO REPLACE WERE THE CRANK SENSOR CONNECTOR, THE O RING, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THIS COST $1002.

RABBITS HAVE EATEN THE POWER STEERING 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. THEY LOVE THE PEPPER TAPE THEY ARE WRAPPING IT WITH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO FORCE A RABBIT OUT OF IT, RABBIT WAS DETERMINED TO TAKE THE WIRES WITH IT. HONDA WON'T GIVE ME A PERMANENT FIX. CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE FOOD PRODUCTS ON VEHICLES. 1ST 2 TIMES VEHICLE WAS FOUND DISABLED, 3RD TIME FOUND THE RABBIT IN IT, STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T COME OUT, HAD TO HIT IT WITH A STICK IT DID GET OUT, BUT THEN IT CAME RIGHT BACK, SO I GOT MY HUSBAND AND HE AND I HAD TO FORCE IT OUT. THE CAR WAS DISABLED AGAIN, I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHILE THIS CRITTER DID THIS AND THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SAFE AT ALL. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE NEW VEHICLES WITH FOOD PRODUCTS USED IN THEM. CAR WAS PARKED IN CARPORT. MY LAST RESORT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO USE COYOTE URINE TO KEEP THEM AWAY. JUST NOT RIGHT.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I LITERALLY CANNOT KEEP IT RUNNING. HONDA NOW USES SOY BASED WIRING WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY PLUS FARM EQUIPMENT. MOWERS, LAWN MOWERS ETC. THE RODENTS TARGET SPECIFICALLY THE HONDA. HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SUB HARNESS REPLACED TWICE LAST FALL AND WINDSHIELD WASHER TANK, AT 3020 MILES, 4434 MILES, 5045 MILES. FIRST TWO REPAIRS WERE SUB HARNESS. IT NOW IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE AT 16660 MILES, LOSS OF POWER STEERING SUB HARNESS. I HAD A HONDA CR-V 04 BEFORE THIS ONE AND IT DID NOT GET RODENT DAMAGE. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO HONDA'S SOY BASED WIRING ..... THEY WILL NOT HONOR ANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT ALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALL BUT LAUGHED IN MY FACE. THE DEALER NOW DOING THE REPAIRS HAS BEEN VERY RESPECTFUL ALTHOUGH HONDA WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ALSO AS SAFETY ISSUE...... THREE TIMES NOW MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. LUCKILY I WAS STILL IN MY YARD AND WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR SAFELY AND HAVE IT TOWED. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DRIVE IT ONCE THE STEERING GOES OUT... VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD THINK VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.... CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND MOTION WHEN POWER STEERING LOSS OCCURRED.....

MAY 23RD, 2016 AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. DEAR SIRS: I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A CHRONIC PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE. ONE THAT IN SPITE OF INNUMERABLE VISITS TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A SERIOUS CONCERN ON THEIR PART, REMAINS UNSOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 HONDA CRV, VIN # [XXX] PURCHASED FROM GILLMAN HONDA IN RICHMOND, TEXAS, BUT SERVICED LOCALLY BY VICTORY HONDA IN VICTORIA, TEXAS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS THAT OF 9,838 MILES. THE PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IS THAT OF A " CHECK TIRE" MESSAGE THAT DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO REALITY. THE SIGNAL HAS TURNED ON, ABOUT ONCE A WEEK SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. VICTORY HONDA HAS EXAMINED THE CAR ON AL LEAST TWELVE OCCASIONS, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY TIRE DEALER AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED. THIS HAS BECOME VERY ANNOYING, ON ONE HAND BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW THE TRUE STATUS OF THE TIRES AND I HAVE EXPENDED A LOT OF TIME AND HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FIND ANOTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT AT THE DEALER. I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, AND I NEED IT NOW! I HAVE DONE SOME INTERNET SEARCH AND I DO NOT SEEM TO BE THE ONLY OWNER WITH SUCH A PROBLEM, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND IT NEED THIS RESOLVED. I WOULD EXPECT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THE 2015 CR-V EX-L AWD ON JANUARY 5 2016 AT STATEN ISLAND HONDA. AFTER ONLY 11 DAYS AND 300 MILES ON VEHICLE AS WE WERE DRIVING FOR A SKI VACATION I NOTICED A CRACKLING NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. I THEN NOTICED THAT NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WORKED OR THE RADIO. IN ADDITION TO THIS MY HORN DIDNT WORK AND MY BLUETOOTH WOULD CONSTANTLY SAY (HTC IS OK ) BOTH MY RADIO INTERFACE SCREENS WOULD ALWAYS FLASH DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE MALFUNCTIONS. MY CELLPHONE WOULD ALSO RANDOMLY CONNECT AND MAKE CALLS. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING TO GET GAS OFF THE NJ TURNPIKE MY HORN STARTED TO GO OFF NON STOP AND I HAD TO PULL THE HORN FUSE OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I ALSO NOTICED A VERY STRONG VIBRATION WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLE AND STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE . OUR VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FROM JANUARY 19-21 AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE FUSES AND THE CABLE REEL AND SAID THE VIBRATION WAS NORMAL. I DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA IN REGARDS TO THE 2015 CR-V VIBRATION ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I WAS SOLD A $30K LEMON . I HAVE OWNED HONDAS IN THE PAST WITH NO ISSUES BUT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE AND HONDA BEING AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL SOLD THESE TRUCKS THE COMPANY HAS LOST MY TRUST. WHEN GOING THROUGH MY DOCUMENTS I NOTICED THAT I WAS MISSING ALOT OF PAPERWORK FROM MY SALES CONTRACT AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE. AT FIRST HE SAID HE GAVE US EVERYTHING AND THEN REALIZED HE DIDNT BUT DIDNT HAVE ACCESS TO THE FILE ROOM TO GIVE US THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. HE STATED HE WOULD GET BACK TO US AND NEVER DID. SO IN ALL I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO STATEN ISLAND HONDA DUE TO THEIR INCOMPETENT SALES STAFF AND I HOPE HONDA RESOLVES ALL OF THESE ISSUES.

WE HAD BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV FROM O DONNEL HONDA IN ELLICOTT CITY (NEAR BALTIMORE). WE HAD ADDED AN ACCESSORY OF A REMOTE STARTER. THE DEALER INSTALLED THE REMOTE STARTER BUT IT IS NOT WORKING (CAR HAS TO BE TWICE STARTED AND RESTARTED). DEALER HAS TOLD US THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH ALL CRVS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHILE BUYING THE CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS AS FRAUDULENT PRACTICE. I AM REQUESTING DOT TO PLEASE HELP US ASK HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. EITHER THE REMOTE STARTER SHOULD BE REINSTALLED OR ANOTHER STARTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED WHICH WORKS CORRECTLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS IS A KNOWN ERROR (AS DEALER SAID) THEN ALL HONDA CRVS SHOULD BE RECALLED. RESTARTING THE CAR TWICE OR MORE DAMAGES THE CAR AND COULD LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES IF CAR STARTER STOPS WORKING SOONER THAN EXPECTED. WE RELY ALL OUR CAR FOR ALL PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS NEEDS. IF A NEW CAR BREAKS DOWN DUE TO SUCH FAULTY PROGRAMMING, IT WILL CAUSE IMMENSE DAMAGE.
