Car battery gets drained out over night and it's not the battery or the alternator. I've seen online multiple people complaining about this.
Battery runs down. Put new battery. . . Same problem. Need a jump to start for me to drive. Battery runs down if it sits for a day problem steering after it is jumped. All alerts are on then disappears after battery resets components on its own. Alerts for stabilization, breaking stabilization and more turns on when driving. Went over problems with a friend who is a mechanic. Trouble shooting everything and concluding something in electrical that doesn't turn off and runs new battery down when engine is off. Oil cap smells like gas fuel. Honda mechanic told me on the spot it could be this or that even when I said there are problems with that noted on websites. Car at Honda dealership getting "fixed". . . . Told me it is the alternator, but car engine doesn't stop or shuts off when it is jumped and driven. We also have had problems where the alert warning alarm turning on while driving on the highway indicating there is an object in front or side when there is nothing there. Those issues began happening before I had these recent battery problems (6 months before issues with the battery). I also recall that in the fall of 2018 that the object alert turned on a couple of times driving on the highway. My daughter also has experience this while driving both highway and town street. Mechanic from Honda is not addressing the smell of gas in oil cap even with information I told him about this problem noted with previous customers. Hasn't looked into it since my car has been there for a day and half.
My wife and I have, on numerous incidents, had to jumpstart the Cr-v due to a dead battery. I have jumpstarted the vehicle the night before (may 17th) to wake up to a battery with a 5 volt charge (may 18th). After I jumped the car on the 17th, I attached my voltmeter to the battery and witnessed a discharge of 0. 01 volts every 2 to 3 seconds. In 20 seconds, the battery drained from 12. 56v to 12. 39v. I have previously taken the car to o'reilly's auto part store twice to test the battery and alternator. Both passed. Yesterday, may 18th, I hooked up a scanner and found no faulty codes in the vehicle. There is an obvious parasitic drain on the battery with no solution. I've also reviewed many complaints regarding dead batteries on the 2017 Honda Cr-v with no real cause. I will take the vehicle into Honda this week to see if the situation can be fixed, but this vehicle appears to be a lemon.

Car left in parking lot for four days. Car would not crank or start. Battery serviced by aaa, jump started successfully. No obvious clamps, wire, alternator problem. Car evaluated at Honda burlington dealer. No problems found. No cause for battery failure given. Service clerk at dealership and aaa battery service person independently suggested that car should not be left unproven for more than a few days as battery failure has been found, without an obvious cause. Evidently Honda service bulletin # 17-032 addresses this issue but neither the general Honda customer hotline nor the burlington mass dealership acknowledge this with my vehicle.
During a regular driving, dashboard light up with several systems malfunction and warnings lights. Car is 2year old with 30000 miles but issue is been around since it was 4000 miles several visits to the dealer got replaced battery on 1st and alternator on last visit. And now it is happening again.
