2014 Honda CR-V: won't start

Filed Jan 4, 2021 · Electrical · 48,000 miles · IL

A few months after buying this used vehicle in 2018, my first honda, I started having battery issues. I would drive the car to work, and when leaving, 9ish hours later, the car wouldn't start. I had to call for a jump start at least 6 times in one month. I thought because it was a such a cold winter, this may be affecting the vehicle's electrical system, so I bought a portable jump starter, which I had to use a few other times. Winter passed and I just when I thought the problem was resolved, I began to have the issue when I'd drive the vehicle for short distances too, even in spring/summertime. I now always have to carry my portable jump starter because I never know if the car is going to start on it's own. Sometimes, I can go weeks without having to jumpstart it, other times I have to jumpstart it every morning. It's such an inconvenience and shouldn't be necessary. I've had the battery checked multiple times, and each time tests good, my mechanic has inspected the vehicle and found no other issue with the alternator, battery, or any other vehicle part. I've done research and found that this happens a lot with many other hondas, not just cr-v, but the company has refused to order a recall or admit that it's even a problem. This is wrong. Homda needs to dig deep and find their issue. So many drivers around the country cannot be making the same mistake and this is not a coincidence. It needs to be a recall, and honda needs to fix it.

Battery dies randomly and car will not start without a jump. Dealerships could not find problem with battery or car. After a year or so of this honda replaced battery. It's happening again within about a year. Stopped on the shoulder of busy hwy...no way to escape! There are too many people with the same issue. This needs to be adressed.

It started about 1yr after getting this crv, upon cranking making a grinding noise I took to shop several times they did they couldn't find anything wrong, now here lately I've had to boost of my crv several times, do I took to shop to check battery which is fine, I don't have time nor money to keep going to shop to not have anything done. I desperatly am afraid to go anywhere other than work in fear it wont crank. It acts like it wanrs to turn over but doesn't then sometimes it cranks right up. I feel as though this is a lemon & honda should have to do something for the ones that are going through this crap. I thought honda was a reliable vehicle. I traded in nissian for this ughh

My 2014 cr-v ex-l began to give me starting problems since late 2016. It occurs randomly, and can occur either in morning or daytime. The first time it occurred and I took it to honda dealership they blamed it on some charging software issue and said they fixed it by installing a software update. It worked fine for a few weeks after but the problem reoccurred later. It can happen in summer or winter, and totally randomly. Honda dealer service assured me multiple times they can't find any problem with battery or electrical system. At this point I am totally at loss about what to do. I can get a new battery, but what am I going to do if the same problem occurs again. I can never predict when or how it will show up. It can start without any problems even on a really cold day, or it would not start after I make a 20 minute stop at the grocery store. Never expected this when I bought a honda.

This present day my car makes a sreaming noise like belt is bad they changed the belt the alternator and something else and they can not find the problem. I asked for a 2017 when I came in to buy a vehicle the dealer insisted on me getting this 2014 when I asked multipul times for a 2017 he said this is a good deal. The first day I got it 6/16/2017 the vibartion was bad I had to bring it back 6/17/2107 they had it 4 days. I picked it up and on the same day the lights were dimming. Sat moorning I reported the issue. 3pm I got in the vehicle to change my shift at work it would not start. The man who came to tow it could not start it on arivial. Mon 6/22/2017 I came in and demanded a new car like I requested when I came in because this vehicle was having to many problems for me to be paying $25,643. The dealer wanted to give me 1,000 less than I paid for it and charge me $32,300 for a honda crv lx 4wd thats marked 27,285 online. I refused to pay that and felt like I am being cheated. He said the problem could be minor let them fix it. I am paying $25,643 for this car and its been in the shop 3xs within 2 months. They want me to keep this car and I keep requesting a 2017 because thats what I came in for and the dealer sat back in his chair and keap telling me the 2014 honda exl is a good deal and did not show me the 2017 he wanted me to get the 2014 honda crv exl when I wanted a 2017 lx special adition 4wd. I admit it is a nice vehicle but it has too many problems and I want my money back and get the 2017 lx crv I requested and I want a different deal thats not going to cheat me out of my money. South hills was honest they was giving me 2017 for 400 amonth at $27,285 when my credit came up and at the time it did it was fair

Out of the blue, my honda cr-v 2014 won't start, I have to jump it, and went to the auto parts store, got my battery check out and everything level of the battery came back normal. Lucky me, it was happened on the weekend and I had someone who happened to be around and help me. I was so afraid that it could happened to me any time, so I decided to buy a new battery. Maybe the cashier thinking I had enough money to waste and not worry about burning my money for unnecessary things. I paid: $144.93 (tax included) I don't think this is acceptable for a 2 years old car and battery test came out normal, not weak. Hope this is not a major thing, but who knows.

Every 14-15 days, I am having to get a jump because the car would not start. I had the battery checked and was told that there is not problem with the battery. When driving the car, the car "shudders" when approaching 20 MPH and 40mph.
