2015 Honda CR-V Electrical System

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

DEAD BATTERY CONTINUES EVEN AFTER DEALER REPLACED. DIES SUDDENLY WHILE IN DRIVE AND ALSO AFTER JUST STARTING. (PARKING GARAGE AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING AND DRIVEWAY LEAVING TO WORK). DEALER HAS NO CLUE/RECOMMENDATION TO FIX

BATTERY DIES OFTEN HAVE HAD JUMPS MULTIPLE TIMES BY AAA OR JUMPER CABLES. STARTED BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2017. BRIGHTS WILL COME ON AUTOMATICALLY, VOLUME ON RADIO WENT OUT ON SIRIUS BUT NOT ON FM OR AM WITH SCREEN DISPLAY INTACT

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 HAVE HAD A DEAD BATTERY FOR TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW. CAR SAT OVERNIGHT ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. CAR STARTED AFTER CHARGING IT. IT ALSO STARTED AFTER IT SITTING FOR 10 HOURS AT WORK.

DEAD BATTERY TWICE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS.

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.

RODENTS CHEWED THRU THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE PLASTIC HOUSING, WHICH CAUSED LIGHTS AND SIGNALS TO LOSE FUNCTIONALITY. DISCOVERED IT WHILE DRIVING WHEN TURN SIGNAL CLICKING STARTED GOING VERY FAST, AND I THOUGHT THE BULB WAS BAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, SMOKE AND FLAMES APPEARED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

CAR HESITATES/STALLS WHEN MAKING TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE VIBRATE SO HARD THAT YOU CAN HEAR IT AND FEEL IT. RPM TACHOMETER IS BELOW 0.5. TOOK IT TO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATE HONDA KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND I CANNOT EXCHANGE VEHICLE UNLESS IT A TRADE-IN AND IT WILL COST ME MORE. HONDA DEALERSHIPS KNEW OF THIS FACT, BUT YET THEY ARE ALLOW TO SELL THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMERS WITHOUT LET THE CONSUMERS KNOW BEFORE BUYING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. I WOULD TO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT IT COSTING ME. *TR
