36 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2012 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 04/01/2012

Shortly after purchasing vehicle brand-new the car would not start. No lights had been on. Had vehicle towed to the dealership for a "fix. " now this has happened again- battery completely dead without warning leaving me and my young children stranded for hours. I just had the vehicle serviced at the end of may (about 5 weeks ago) and everything passed inspection then. Also like other reports I see, my engine sometimes makes a loud grinding sound when starting. My dealership said that "this just sometimes happens. " I'm not convinced- I've driven some very old cars that don't even do this! this was my first brand new car and I'm not pleased.

38 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/06/2011

Car would not start:no engine turning, no lights, etc. Thought I had a dead battery, locked car to get help (via key fob) and lights went on acknowleding it locked. Tried to start car again and it started fine. Radio was blinking and had to enter radio security code like the battery had been disconnected. Drove car home with no further problems. This morning car would not start again, followed the same process of locking and unlocking, lights come on and car would start (no blinking radio though). Drove into work, stopped at intersection. When light turned green, started to drive (moved about 50 feet) and dashboard lit up and then car stalled and turned off. Car would not start again. Would not shift out of park. Good samaritan messed with it and managed to get it into neutral so it could be pushed to side of road. Said the emergency brake had been engaged which is why it would not shift from park? from side of road car started fine. I drove it home where now sits in the garage.

39 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2003 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/20/2011

Vehicle would not start at all, then left it for 2 hours and came back and it started. Then 2 months later it is starting fine, but stalling quite often while driving. It will sometimes cut out and then recover and keep going (the check engine light comes on when it cuts out, but goes out again when it keeps going) other times it stalls. The check engine light comes on when it stalls but everything else still works (radio, lights). It has stalled on the highway at 65-70 mph, in the city at 40 mph, also slowing to take a turn. This started out only stalling once in a few days. It is now stalling several times in a day. I don't drive it that far anymore, but I still have to drive it because the garage does not find anything wrong. There were no codes, and they could find nothing. I don't know for sure what is happening with it, but reading the forums it sounds like it might be the ignition switch.
