Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2012 Honda CR-V

There is a battery drain issue. The electrical system will not keep it charged. The alternator has also been replaced early. Battery light comes on because it just can't keep charged. This is a safety issue. My wife called me from a parking lot miles away from my location with a dead battery. I don't like her driving with a vehicle that has electrical issues. Multiple batteries have been replaced on this vehicle. There is supposedly a "fix" from the dealership, but some online report that it does not work. I realize Honda doesn't want to do a recall unless this is a safety issue; however, if my wife is stranded somewhere by herself in this vehicle that is a safety issue.

This chronic issue started with a slow crank and then a no start and aaa replaced the battery on 3/6/16. Two weeks ago on August 23rd the car would not start in the parking lot after sitting for 10 minutes with the engine turned off. I jumped the battery and then had aaa test the battery and charging system. They diagnosed the issue as the charging system, likely the alternator as it was charging the battery intermittently. They jumped the vehicle and it was taken in for service at bill page Honda. They replaced the alternator in warranty and said the problem was fixed. On September 6th the car had a slow crank and then on September 7th the car would not start. I jumped the vehicle and took it directly to Honda and they are presently insisting that the issue is a dead battery. However, if the battery was fine two weeks ago and the issue is known to be with the charging system, it is fair to say that the concern is not the battery, but the system that regulates the alternator's charging of the battery itself. The vehicle is in warranty, however, my concern is that the vehicle will no longer be in warranty when this issue occurs again if the battery is just replaced (I average about 2 years on a battery). Additionally, this is a diagnosis of exclusion and all other things must be ruled out before you can determine the actual cause.

My 7 months pregnant wife got stranded 200 miles from home when her alternator decided to die on her resulting in a dead battery. We only have 50,000 miles on this vehicle and an alternator shouldn't die on a vehicle this young in its life span. Luckily a good seminarian decided to give her car a jump start which got her to her destination safely. So since we are out of warranty and needed to have this fixed quickly, we took it to a local trusted shop in the area and the alternator had a faulty part which ended up costing us over $600 dollars to get fixed. We also have had a loud engine rattle noise that occurs on cold startups for the past year and Honda has been aware of this issue since 2008 and has not issued a recall and has not come up with a permanent fix. I believe the quality of Honda cars has been drastically declining over the past couple of years and I have lost faith in the Honda brand and will never buy another Honda again.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the alternator was defective. The engine failed to start numerous times and the battery was replaced several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who performed diagnostic testing that located a failure code at the alternator. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 40,400.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Honda crv. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start and stalled intermittently on multiple occasions. The steering wheel was difficult to turn left or right and the contact had to apply force to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who replaced the battery four times, replaced the alternator and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,400. Dyd.

I paid cash for a new 2012 Cr-v ex l with nav. Within a few months of purchase, the car broke down. I stopped for gas and it would not start. I am a single female and had to walk in the dark to walmart, buy jumper cables and flash someone down for a boost. Took the car to the dealer and they stated nothing was wrong with the car. It keeps happening over and over again. It has broken down several times and each time I take it to the dealer, they say nothing is wrong with it. I've had to pay out of pocket for a tow truck and repairs that still did not fix the problem. I took it to another Honda dealership and it broke down while at the dealer. It would not start. Was completely dead. They ran several test and like the other dealer stated they can not find anything wrong with it. Less than three weeks later, it broke down again. It is still in the shop. Been there for 2 weeks and they still have no clue whats wrong with the car. Honda tried to start the car yesterday and it would not start, completely dead. They have checked everything (battery, alternator, recalls, electoral, etc. ) several times and it comes back saying good condition. Something is wrong with this car and Honda won't admit it or take responsibility. It is obviously something wrong with this vehicle.
