2014 Honda CR-V Electrical System

CAR IS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND HAD A DEAD BATTERY TWICE WHEN NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I SPENT $30,000 ON THIS CAR AND MY LOAN IS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING FROM HONDA, CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. I'M SCARED TO TAKE IT FAR BECAUSE I WILL GET STRANDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

ON THE INITIAL STARTUP, ON COOL TO COLD MORNINGS, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE IN THE STARTER FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW CAR. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS HONDA KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. THEY SAY IT IS NOT HURTING THE CAR. IT SOUNDS AWFUL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. BEGAN JAN. 2014-NOW.

MY CRV STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES WITH IGNITION IN SEPT 2014, APPROX. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM KINGS HONDA IN CINCINNATI, OH. DURING ROUTINE SERVICE AT KINGS HONDA I INQUIRED ABOUT THE GRINDING AND WAS TOLD THAT " IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE CRVS AND THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO HONDA." THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HONDA WAS ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM SOON. I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL YET AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED WHILE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT FURTHER ACTION I NEED TO TAKE. THANK YOU *TR

THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE NOT LONG AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE ARE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPGRADE HAS BEEN INSTALLED. ANNOYING, USELESS LIGHT. CONSTANTLY RE-SETTING. *TR

VEHICLE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE TO STAR UP PROCEDURE W/O PRIOR INDICATION OR WARNING. HAS HAPPENED APPROX., ON 12 INSTANCES. HAVE CALLED FOR ROAD CALLED & TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP WITHOUT FINAL RESOLUTION. CONTACTED HONDA OF CARSON CA. FINAL RESOLVE AFTER TWO MONTHS WAS TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER FOR APPRAISAL OF SITUATION.

AFTER BEING IN THE OFF MODE, THE IGNITION BATTERY POWER DOES NOT START ENGINE WITH OUT A POWERFUL BATTERY BOOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED1T LEAST 13 TIMES WITH NO WARNING SIGN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DECLARED NOTHING HAS BEEN. HONDA OF CA SAID THAT THEY INVESTIGATED AND DECLARED THAT NO ISSUE HAD BEEN FOUND. I HAVE PURCHASED A HIGH POWER BOOSTER AS AN INTERMEDIARY FIX.

TPMS WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. STOPPED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. TIRES WERE AT CORRECT PRESSURE. WE WERE SHOWN WHERE THE BUTTON WAS ON THE DASHBOARD TO CLEAR THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT TIME AND WE WERE TOLD THE TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL 4 TIRES WAS FINE AND THEY CANCELED THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. ALL OF THIS AT NO COST TO US. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I CANCELED THE WARNING LIGHT. THE ISSUE MUST BE A ENGINEERING OR DESIGN FAILURE/PROBLEM OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY HAVE A BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE DRIVER COULD CANCEL THE WARNING LIGHT? WE FEEL WE CAN'T TRUST THE WARNING LIGHT ANYMORE AND QUITE FRANKLY WONDER HOW SAFE THE TIRES AND VEHICLE IS TO DRIVE.

I STARTED MY CAR WITH THE REMOTE START AND A LITTLE OVER TEN MINUTES LATER WENT OUT TO CLEAN OFF MY CAR AND I DIDN'T WANT MY CAR TO TURN OFF WHEN THE REMOTE START TIMED OUT SO I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT SO THE CAR WOULD STAY TURNED ON WHILE I CLEANED OFF MY CAR. AS I WAS CLEANING OFF MY CAR I HEARD THE DOORS LOCK WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. *TR

REF COMPLAINT 10574247... TPMS LIGHT... HONDA MOTOR HAS PUT OUT A FIX FOR THIS IN THE 2014 CR-V... THE FIX WAS PUT IN MY CAR ON 3/24/2014 AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2013. SINCE DECEMBER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE LOW PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE TIRES KEEPS COMING ON (THE SENSOR HAS COME ON OVER TEN TIMES). THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON THREE DIFFERENT TRIPS BETWEEN SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IT SEEMS TO COME ON ABOUT EVERY 200 MILES. I HAVE GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD THE TIRES CHECKED AND THEY ARE ALL OK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A HONDA FOR ITS SAFETY RATING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO "IGNORE THE SENSOR LIGHT" UNTIL THEY GET THIS FIXED. WHAT IF THE TIRE PRESSURE REALLY IS LOW? HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THE FIX FOR THIS SITUATION A PRIORITY!!! *TR
