2015 Honda CR-V complaints

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 was driving on an expressway on July 25, 2022 and my car stopped accelerating at a speed of 70mph. The RPMs would move but there was no acceleration and the speedometer wouldn’t go above zero. After pulling over I had to have the car towed. The dealer indicated that the transmission was damaged due to lack of transmission fluid. My safety and the safety of my son were compromised as I was driving on a busy expressway and the transmission just stopped working with no warning. There were no warnings that transmission fluid was low (yet I get warnings for things like tire pressure and oil?). I regularly have this vehicle serviced so I feel like this is some defect and do not understand how this could happen with no warning. The car is still being repaired so I do not know if the parts are still available.

June 2,2021 was rear ended by full speed car (30-40mph) that put me into an on coming car at a traffic light. Crunched my Honda 2015 CRV where I couldn't even open the front doors and my head hit the steering wheel, my arms and my spine cracked. Thankfully did not brake anything however still in pain and need continuing chiropractic care. If the Honda I was driving didn't have the function of in brake assist the turning vehicle from the on coming street wouldn't have survived. There were no warnings or failure lights, messages or notices from the dealership where we regularly took for service. Honda CRV 2015 totaled ownership no longer in my name

Around February of 2022 I noticed air started leaking from my driver's side front tire. When I took it to be looked at, I was told the rim was cracked and that's why the tire leaked air and began running flat. I bought a new rim and had no further issue with that wheel. Now as of the beginning of June, I noticed it happening again but on the front passenger side wheel. I took it to a tire repair shop who submerged the tire in water but found no leak. They replaced a valve, filled the tire with air and a week later it was completely flat again. I was told by a local mechanic that cracked rims are a common occurrence on this model year vehicle but I have seen no recalls for this issue. I have contacted several salvage yards and independent repair shops to get another replacement rim for the passenger side wheel but rims are either unavailable or extremely expensive. I am forced to use the donut tire on my vehicle which is not as safe as having a full size tire and proper rim on my vehicle. Honda needs to investigate this issue and fix it.

Windshield wipers randomly do not turn on. There is no warning of malfunction I turned them on in rain and they would not start. This could potentially cause an accident in heavy rain. After a few minutes they worked. This has happened 3 times. I looked on internet and there are other Honda CRV owners experiencing similar issue.

Check CMBS,brake System Light& brake assist lights are on when going through construction area.Happens in construction area a number of times. Dealers have to reset at no cost. The last time on July 6,2022 I was charged $94.56 to reset! Walser Honda invoice 387637.

I was driving on busy street at 35 mph suddenly car start stopping and giving jerk . It was not safe as I was driving my new born girl and 6 years old girl suddenly car loss power in motion took to honda dealer nearby they just told me my car high pressure fuel pump failed and it need to be replaced. The car is well maintained with regular oil changes I don't know why such critical part of car failed I don't feel safe anymore in this car

Our well maintained crv suddenly began to make loud noises and stall while driving. No engine/warning lights illuminated. The low mileage CRV (60k) was immediately taken to a Honda dealership. It needed a complete engine replacement. The cause was not identified. Honda failed to make it right and acknowledge the problem. The car has also stalled while in reverse and vibrates when stopped.

The contact owned a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that after she made a right turn into a parking lot, the vehicle shut off while driving up an incline(speed unknown) without warning. The contact placed that vehicle into neutral and attempted to restart the vehicle but each attempt failed. White smoke began to emit from the hood of the vehicle and an off-duty firefighter came to her assistance with a fire extinguisher; however, the smoke turned black as flames began to emit from the engine. The fire department was called to the scene and the fire was eventually extinguished. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. Upon investigation, the contact linked her failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was either idle or while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel, seats, and dashboard all would sporadically start to vibrate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who advised him that they did not recognize the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that while conducting his own research, he found there were many complaints about what he was experiencing with his vehicle. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and advised that he contact the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 30,100.

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 o

For the past 4 months, we have had intermittent starting issues with our 2015 Honda CRV. It takes numerous times to start the car. I have researched this issue online and it appears to be a widespread problem amongst thousands of Honda owners. It usually requires significant costs to repair the issue ($600-1,000). I have called Honda directly and they are of no use and will not help. This appears to be a huge issue and It appears Honda would rather sweep this under the rug and not recognize this as a widespread issue. We need someone to begin a formal inquiry into this intolerable situation because it is a safety issue when you can’t start your car in the winter or at night miles from home or in a different state. Thank you for your interest.

While driving during clear weather and around no highway overpasses, the sunroof on our Honda CRV spontaneously shattered. No evidence of an object or projectile were found.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH downhill, the RPM increased while depressing the brake pedal. The failure occurred consistently while driving downhill. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

No engine light, honda dealer misdiagnosed the issue and told me the car was safe to drive. I broke down and then was told I needed a new transmission, there is only 87k miles on it

On August 1, 2021 and again on February 26, 2022 I had major issues with transmission slipping gears and my 2015 Honda CR-V stalling out on an incline while driving home. This was very dangerous and nearly caused an accident. I had my 8 year old son in the back as well and many cars almost rear-ended me both times. Additionally, i experience VERY rough idling and extremely rough gear changes which lead me to believe there is an issue with my car's transmission, specifically with the CVT system on this car. It continues to feel VERY unsafe and unreliable as i drive it and i am very worried about my safety and the longevity of my cars ability to continue running.

This vehicle shakes pretty badly at idle. We took it to Honda for repairs, there is no recall for this but they did have a service bulletin for the issue. They replaced the headrest and two mounts, one was for the transmission and the other I think was for the condenser unit and recalibrated the idle. The car did improve although the shaking was still there at idle. This was done in October and in the last two weeks the problem has gotten worse then when we first took it to Honda. The car shakes very badly and doesn't feel safe for my kids. I have resorted to putting the vehicle in Neutral at stop lights which helps.

Purchased used at 64,000 miles. Second day of ownership/operation vehicle began stalling while in operation on the road. This happened when coming to a stop, when accelerating from a stop and while at high speeds on the highway. I am not sure if th problem is caused by drivetrain, fuel delivery, engine, or electrical issues.

When I went in for maintenance, I was told that the front airbags would not deploy. In the event of a car accident, the airbags cannot be popped. I know some cars were recalled in 2016 for airbag issues, should I be treated reasonably as well since my car has the same issue.

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

Vehicle collided with a deer at 65 mph. The passenger side front air bag deployed but the driver airbag did not deploy.

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 Bu

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

The car going uphill started stuttering then started losing speed. When hitting the gas its wouldn't do anything til car came to a complete stop, the gas wouldn't do anything. So we powered the car off and on again and then it worked. Until later that day while trying to accelerate the car again started stuttering losing speed and wouldn't respond to anything to make it go. Until we turned the car back off then on again. The car has also been thru 5 batteries in 5 years.

*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.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle abruptly switched to limp mode and the vehicle was unable to exceed 20 MPH. The contact was able to move onto the road shoulder and had the vehicle towed to the mechanic. The mechanic performed a diagnostic test that located the failure code at the fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V215000 (Fuel System Gasoline). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage is 75,065.

I was driving home and my car went into limp mode in the middle of the freeway. Not sure why my car downshifted and wouldn’t accelerate over 20mph or over 2500rpm. I thought my transmission went out, I was lucky to find a pull off, I shut my car off and then back on to see if I could get to an off ramp and the problem persisted. I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, the problem was diagnosed and my mechanic said specifically that he has only seen this problem with cars that had faulty fuel pumps that were recalled, my year was not part of the recall, but my make and model was, but only different years. He advised me to report it because of how specific the problem was to the recall of newer models.

The engine wiring harness melted and frayed. Two different garages (including Honda dealer) could not determine cause. As part of the fact-finding, multiple fuses blew every time they were replaced - at minimum in fuse box under hood harness and also under dash. For months the car could be sluggish when first leaving garage (like something wasn't catching) but I don't think that was related (although that problem has disappeared it seems.) I drove the car one day. Parked it. Got in it the next day and it was dead. Battery (3 yrs old) was at 50%. Starter was fine. Assumed it was starter button on dash. When car got to Honda, battery was dead. First garage found blown fuses, replaced, blew/melted. Did get it to start after many trials, but then brake lights wouldn't turn off. Then next morning dead again. That's when discovered harness. Never started again (until harness replaced at dealer06.)

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/

Heated seats are ALWAYS ON

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost motive power but did not shut-off. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal were depressed but failed to respond. The contact veered to the side of the road where she attempted to drive the vehicle again but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.

SUV stalls when starting after overnight or day stay and driving slowly in reverse for about 3 yards. The engine can be restarted with starter button. This is dangerous, because I am parking for work in an underground garage with minimal lighting and other drivers do not expect a vehicle stalled half way pulling out from a parking space.

I have had this car for 3 years and have needed to replace the alternator twice. This is a safety concern, as I am ansi for parent and this could leave anyone stranded with the inability to start the vehicle under any conditions. This is a know problem with this specific year CRV, and is frequently discussed in the CRV community as well as at the dealership, by repair staff. There should be a required recall to fix whatever is causing alternators needing to be replaced every 18 months.

According to the dealership looking at the vehicle, the air bag had a critical failure. The vehicle is only 5 years old. While the dealership stated this was the failure of a critical component and that the vehicle should not even be driven off the lot until the air bag was fully repaired, American Honda is stating it was simply an issue with the indicator light and that the air bag was fully functional. Either the local Honda dealer or American Honda is not being honest about what happened here, but if the air bags on 5 year old Honda vehicles are failing, this seems like something that likely should be more aggressively address, particularly in light of the many air bag failures that have been in the news over the past few years.

I purchased this vehicle on 10-9-20, and in late January or early February, I pushed the start button, and it clicked. Then, on the second try, it started. It has gotten progressively worse. It took about 10 minutes of trying at one point yesterday before it started. When this happens, it can start on the first try the next several times before it starts having trouble again. A friend has a Honda Fit, and had the same issues. The dealer replaced the starter, and that worked for a bit, then she had the starter button replaced, and hasn't had issues since. Some time after this, she received a recall notice for the button, and is now waiting on reimbursement. I'm wondering if there will be a recall on the CR-V as well, but currently, I see that there are no unrepaired recalls on this vehicle.

So I went to my Honda dealership (Doylestown, PA) today with issues of my oil lamp going on (for a few days). The oil was low (it seemed to burn real quick) and adding additional oil was the item that was performed on my vehicle. However the service representative told me to come back after I have driven for 1000 additional miles for them to check and see if the issue is the Piston Rings. Which he stated may run at least $3000. So I did some research and noticed that a recall (recall number KF6) was created for engines issues for Honda CRV 2015 (mgr Feb. 8 2015 - July 28, 2016). My SUV was mgr on April 2015. I wanted to see if it's possible that there is an issue with my vehicle and this recall.

NO ENGINE RESPONSE FROM STOP. 2 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE ENGINE RESPONDS TO ACCELERATOR. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN ENGINE AT TEMPERATURE. DEALER INSISTED IT WAS TRANSMISSION. CHECKED AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT IT COULD BE THE ENGINE. HAVE SEEN SAME COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET BUT NOT SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM. HAPPENS MOST TRIPS BUT NOT ALWAYS. MAY HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL STOPS OR MAY NOT. STARTED WHEN CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CONTINUES TODAY. STARTED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND CAR HAS 90,000 MILES NOW. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

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 SOME

LOUD RATTLING NOISES WITH ASSOCIATED STRONG UNSETTLING VIBRATIONS COME INTO THE CABIN. THESE VIBRATIONS AND RATTLING NOISES HAVE BEEN VERY DISTRACTING. THE RATTLING NOISES BEGIN AT A LOW VOLUME AND BECOME QUITE LOUD. THE ASSOCIATED VIBRATIONS MAKE ME FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THESE DISTRACTIONS CERTAINLY DISTRACT ME FROM DRIVING SAFELY AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE MY CAR VIBRATES AND IDLES LOW TO WHERE IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE IN GEAR. THE SHOP CHANGED OUT THE VALVE GASKET AND DID AN OIL CHANGE PAID $260.00 THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOW IDLE AND VIBRATE AT THE STOP LIGHTS AND AND STOP SIGNS FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. A WEEK LATER I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS ALSO CLEANED THE BODY THROTTLE WHICH COST ME $820 LEFT THERE AND STILL MY CAR AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WHILE IN GEAR VIBRATES AND IDLES LOW AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THAT SHOP 3 MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEAL SHIP WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND STILL MY CAR VIBRATES AND IDLE LOWS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT WHEN IN GEAR AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. HONDA DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 HONDA CR-V AWD TOURING EDITION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS INTO A LOWER GEAR WHEN I START DRIVING DOWN A HILL. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REV HIGH AND WHINE LOUDLY UNTIL I REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WHEN IT FINALLY UPSHIFTS AND WORKS CORRECTLY. THE ENGINE IS WORKING TOO HARD TO MAINTAIN A SLOW SPEED DURING THE DESCENT. CAN THE TRANSMISSION BE ADJUSTED SO IT DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT AND HOLD THE VEHICLE BACK? OR IS THIS A DEFECT WITH THIS TRANSMISSION THAT WILL BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY? IF SO, HOW CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED?

RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE ON COLD CRANK. THIS STARTED SUBTLE BUT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.

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.

CAR HAD LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT COME ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND SUGGESTED PISTON RINGS REPLACEMENT, ESTIMATED COST $3000. THE MILEAGE ON CAR WAS 84,155 AND ALWAYS HAD TIMELY OIL CHANGE DONE AT SAME DEALERSHIP. SIMILAR ISSUE WAS APPARENTLY FOR CRV 08-11 MODELS (HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2018/MC-10152429-0001.PDF).

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.

IN EVERY STATEMENT/COMPLAINT AT THE SERVICE CENTER, I ALWAYS STATED THAT THE FRONT SEATS VIBRATE WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON AND IN GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING SB 15-046, THE INITIAL REPAIR IN 2016 WAS FOR DRIVING MODE 1. ON THE SECOND REPAIR IN 2017, THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED DRIVING MODE 2 REPAIR WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME VIA PHONE OR IN PERSON ABOUT THE REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SB 15-046. SB 15-046 STATES, FOR DRIVING MODE 2 UPDATE NOTES: -YOU MUST MAKE SURE THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS REVIEWED THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR DRIVING MODE 2 WITH THE CUSTOMER BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS PERFORMED. -VERIFY THAT THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS NOTED ON THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT THAT HE OR SHE HAS REVIEWED THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR DRIVING MODE 2 WITH THE CUSTOMER. -THE NOTED CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT MUST BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE RECORDS AND ATTACHED TO THE REPAIR ORDER BEFORE DOING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, AS THIS SOFTWARE MAY HAVE A SMALL IMPACT ON FUEL ECONOMY. ALL OF THE NOTES ON THE SB 15-046 WERE SKIPPED WHEN HONDA OF SERRAMONTE WAS REPAIRING MY CAR. IN THE DIAGNOSIS SECTION ON PAGE 6 OF SB 15-046. 'YOU MUST ONLY PERFORM THE REPAIR BASED ON CUSTOMER CONCERNS.' EVERYTHING PERFORMED ON THE CAR OR COMMENTS FROM THE TECHNICIAN IS RECORD IN THE SERVICE INVOICE. TO THIS DAY, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE DRIVING MODE 2 UPDATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SB 15-046. NOR, DID I SIGN THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT BECAUSE THE SERVICE INVOICE FROM JUL. 1, 2017 DOES NOT MENTION ANY C

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND I'M WAITING AT A LIGHT MY CAR STARS TO VIBRATE AND SOMETIMES IT'S STRONGER THAN OTHERS.

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.'
