1 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2021

All of the warning lights are lighting up in the instrument panel. The car was parked and turned on (idle) in driveway when all the instrument panel lights turned on. 2 days later, they all turned off. Then 2 days later they all turned on again when the car was idle in driveway. Multiple warning lights are on, including power steering problem, however, the power steering is fine. Car runs normally. I read online this is an issue with multiple Honda 2017-2018 Cr-v's. Most people have spent a lot of money at dealerships and never fixed the problem. I replaced the battery 1 yr ago because the factory battery died. Not sure if the 2 are related.

2 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2021

Our 2018 Honda crv has a dead battery at 21,000 miles. On the internet, I see many other examples of this battery losing charge. Is this a common problem? we were lucky, as the crv battery died in our garage. But, it could have died in a less friendly location. From what I read, this battery is prone to parasitic current loss at any time. Thank you. Jim bromwell carolina shores, nc.

3 Battery Dead problem

2018 Honda crv touring purchase September 8, 2018. Currently has 16,400 miles. On Thursday, December 10, I went out to start my Honda crv touring in the garage. It would not start. I called the helpline to have a towing company come to take the car to bob brady Honda dealership in decatur illinois. I called bob brady Honda service center they told me to just have the towing company jumpstart my car and drive it into the dealership service department. Note, the towing company driver informed me that this is about the 13th Honda 2018 2020 that he has had to jumpstart. Some of the vehicles he's had to revisit to jumpstart. I didn't drive the car after coming home the rest of the day on Thursday. The car started on Friday, December 18, at 11:30 am. The Honda started on Friday, December 18 at 3:30 pm. Saturday, December 19, the car started at 10:00 am. That same day the car started at 1:00 pm. On Sunday, December 13, I went out to try to start my car at 7:00 am. My car would not start! it is my understanding at the Honda dealership in the service department they will not just flip out the battery until they first try to charge it again to see if that helps the problem. It is now December 14, 2020 and I am going to call the Honda dealership to have my car towed in today for the exact same problem of the battery being dead! both times that the car battery died as well it was sitting in my heated garage. I'm not able to take any photographs on a dead battery. But, I have made a video of exactly how the procedure takes place when I have tried to start my car in the garage.

4 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

I was away for 17 days and my battery died. Went to dealer and he said this is normal. How is this normal? it's dangerous and should not happen! car is 18 months old! this is dangerous too. Last year we were gone 2 months and wife's car started right up. Neighbors winter in florida - come home and cars start up. My last car sat 3 months and started right up. This needs to be fixed! we travel and car sits at the airport / train. What happens when we come back and it's dead and it's late / snow / ice / bad area. Worse - I could not get into the rear hatch (dealer said nope - can't - no bypass) to get my jumper cables! and car was in a garage (50+ degrees). Garage also made it hard to jump as was pulled in forward! this is all scary and must be fixed but dealer says normal. He said some die in a couple / few days and it's normal. This is normal? after jumping it I had to reset so much / dash was lit up - radio didn't work. 17 days is nothing for a car to sit and dealer said it may have died the first week. Then what - no alarm - nothing. I looked online and many have this issue. For all I know my Honda battery died day 2 or 3 as many online say theirs dies after sitting just a few days.
