Four problems related to ignition have been reported for the 1997 Honda CR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Several times the car has stalled with no warning. Most of the time it has been while stopped but yesterday it happened on the highway at normal speed.
Dealer charge for reconnection of the original alarm system, after disconnecting for recall repair. Dealer and manufacturer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ph.
While traveling on the highway without prior warning the vehicle will shut down, the dealership is aware of the problem. Nlm the engine shut off 13 times due to ignition failure. The ignition was replaced.
The vehicle stalls suddenly for no apparent reason. Sometimes when I first start the engine and in idle, the car will suddenly shut off by itself. Other times I will be driving on the street and the engine will suddenly stop. Sometimes there is an indication that it will stall because moments before it does the rpm guage will drop to zero and go back to where it was before but then the car will stall. Other times the engine will just shut off in the middle of the road. We have taken the car to have a diganostic done at the Honda dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have also replaced the computer module and the coils from a private auto mechanic. The car restarts after stalling but it takes up to 5 trys to restart the engine. This is very dangerous because it has stalled on the freeway and in traffic.
