Parasitic battery drain, vehicle battery drains after 2 days of non use

Filed Oct 25, 2018 · Electrical, Engine · 22,500 miles · CA

Alarm will go off randomly. Clicking lock/unlock on the key fob does not turn the alarm off. Inserting the key into the door was the only way to turn the alarm off. The message "keyless start system problem" was displayed on the dash when I entered the car. I turned my car on, but when trying to turn the car off, there were clicking noises, the dash flickered repeatedly, and the car would not turn off. It took about 15 minutes of clicking the push start/stop button to get the car to turn off. It was towed to honda (tow truck driver had trouble getting the car onto the bed because all of the safety braking features were randomly activating) and honda replaced some wiring and said I was good to. Two days later the car wouldn't start. Had it towed to honda again and they said it was a bad battery. They replaced the battery and sent me on my way. The next day the alarm went off again, same issue with not being able to turn it off, and the same keyless start system problem was on the dash. I started the car, then turned the car off, went into the house, and the alarm went off again 15 minutes later. I disconnected the battery and will take it back to honda tomorrow. Note, when I popped the hood to disconnect the battery, the electricity turned back on in the car by itself. I now suspect the electricity is turning on by itself and after sitting idle for a while the alarm activates.

I was driving at about 45mph, and had to stopped in median of road to turn right. All of a sudden my honda crv 2017 stopped and all dashboard lights started flashing, it started showing all the following problems. 1) brake system problem 2) brake hold system problem 3) airbag system (SRS) problem 4) power steering system (eps) problem 5) anti-lock brake system problem 6) vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem 7) hill start assist problem 8) adaptive cruise control problem 9) collision mitigation system problem 10) road departure mitigation system problem 11) auto high-beam problem 12) tire pressure monitor problem 13) all wheel drive system problem 14) lane keeping assist cannot operate 15) seat belt warning on and beeping even though seat belt was being worn. I tried to turn off, and turn on, nothing happened. Exited the vehicle, checked the car. No physical damage. Tried to start 2-3 times more, still no luck. I called the roadside assistance, and towed the car to dealer. Dealer kept the car for 4 hours, and called me that it was low gas issue, and charged me $88. I am sure it was not low gas, and even if it was low gas, car warning should tell its not starting due to low gas. It should not be that all 15 errors start showing on dashboard.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the display screen message appeared indicating a security system failure and that the tailgate door was open. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the tailgate door was secured. Next, the sensor erroneously indicated that the front driver side door was ajar. Moments later, while driving, the collision avoidance system erroneously activated and the vehicle abruptly came to a complete stop although no other vehicles were in the vicinity. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (dnc honda, 28 county rd, tenafly, nj 07670), but the failures could not be duplicated. According to the dealer, the manufacturer indicated that the failures were due to the cell phone being used inside the vehicle. As a result, the bluetooth was deactivated. The failure mileage was 2,600.

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.

I parked the car in the garage on 8/18/2018. I turned off engine and all electronic equipment. We went on vacation for 2 weeks. On 9/3/18 we returned and we could not start the car. The battery was dead as it was completely drained. I researched on crv forum and there seems to be a knowing problem with battery slow drainage due to software and/or electrical components

Purchased new in march of 2017. Instument cluster has malunctioned x 4 since then. Twice just totally going black while driving. Twice certain alarms are indicated (lkas,acc, cmbs, etc.) these last two required vehicle camera replacment. Entire instument cluster replaced in october of 2017. Braking: this vehicle has applied it's brakes at sudden and the most inapproriate times. July 2017 on a four lane hwy by myself, no other vehicle, brake alarms lit up on instument cluster and car rapidly declerated from 50 to 20 MPH before brake alarm and brakes disengaged. When slowing for a traffic light with vehicle in front of me, at approximately 1 1/2 car lengths from vehicle and going approximately 10 - 5 MPH, crv brake alarm lit up with subsequent panic stop braking applied. Crv's acc system brakes the vehicle when approaching another parked or disabled vehicle in the right emergency stop lane or is turning right and is perhaps 20-30 feet down the right hand road. This occurs aw well when acc is engaged and I am in the left lane on the interstate and overtaking a vehicle to my right. The dealer tells me they can find no error codes nor do they have any data of these symptoms from honda america. Braking does not occur all the time. But when it does it's surprising and scary. It seems to me with all the reports I have read on the federal safety agency web site concerning this same problem, perhaps american honda should take a serious look before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

Foward collision avoidance - when driving in normal condition, the vehicle will abruptly apply brake by itself activating the forward collision avoidance system. The "brake" warning comes-up in the driver's dashboard to provide a visual warning. This happens even if there were no vehicle in-front and anticipated frontal collision. This abrupt and random braking can cause a rear-end collision.

For the third time, since buying the car new, all the warning lights came on, and all safety systems shut down. This time power steering was also lost which could've caused a crash. I believe this is due to rodent damage again. Honda sells rodent tape and I've used it but can't tell where the rodents will eat. I belive this is due to the soy-based insulation and other parts in the car as none of my other vehicles have ever had this issue and I live in a rural environment. Vehicle was not being driven'was temporarily parked outside when this happened.

The display in the middle goes blank while I am driving a lot. Last time I was backing out when it did which cause my car to have serious scratches on it. At the same time the back up seemed not to be working either. My son made a video of it happening one time when he is in the car. Also the radio is lock and does not display what is playing like it use too. Also sometimes when I am switching lane with my blinker on the car will not let me do it and abruptly slow down even if there is not other car on the road. I had a 2012 honda crv that my son drive and never had these problem. My 2017 crv touring is by far not as well made since I have all these problems already.

Purchased car 1/18. Took 10 day vacation car was parked during that period. Car battery was dead when we returned. Had aaa jump car and took to dealer. Battery checked and told by dealer it was fine 6 days later battery dead had honda service tow car to dealer. Had found honda tsb 17-032 online describing a battery drain from vsa modulator. Made copy for dealer because they were 'unaware of problem' asked them to follow the tsb software upgrade procedure which they did but when they tested battery there was still a drain so they replaced the battery and informed me I need to drive car everday to keep it charged, this is our second car and is not driven everyday and we travel which means the car may not be driven for 10 days or more the service advisor indicated that we need to acquire a battery charger because most likely the battery would be dead. It seems that the 2017 crv has an electric brake system problem. It pulls on the battery even when the ignition is off. Is honda going to issue a recall on this problem. Everytime I get in the car I wonder if the car will start and this an uncomfortable feeling for a brand new car with only 540 miles on it.

Driving highway speed. Suddenly vehicle begins to violently hesitate and then slows and will not accelerate (more than 10 MPH). Indicators read that all systems have failed. Pulled over and shut vehicle down. Would not restart. Called emergency roadside assistance for towing to dealership. Was told by dealer that honda stated it is a common issue in cold weather (I live and purchased the vehicle in northern wi - lame excuse. Whey sell them here if they don't work in the cold). The dealership replaced the fuel injectors and various other engine parts. I also had to have the satellite radio receiver replaced (it burnt out). There was fuel in the engine oil. All this with less than 4,000 miles on the 2017 honda cr-v. No longer have confidence in the vehicle. It runs now, but the engine is much louder with a noticable clicking noise that wasn't there when I first purchased the vehicle. I was planning a maiden voyage from wi to seattle, wa (to visit elderly mother who lives there) but lost confidence in the vehicle's reliability. What is my fix for this? Dealership balked at the suggestion of replacing the vehicle with another one. Overall, I think this is a dangerous issue to have an automobile completely fail in traffic. Limping off the roadway at a maximum possible speed of 10 MPH in highway traffic conditions is a recipe for disaster and the makings for possible fatal consequences. Honda should be looking seriously into this issue and not making lame excuses like this happens to the cr-v in cold weather ([xxx]). They should also be providing compensation to owners who purchased these lemons in good faith expecting the dependability of a brand new vehicle, paying (in my case) at least $29,000.00 for that expectation and not ending up with something that dumps fuel into the engine oil and threatens the safety of me and my (3) passengers at the time parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 5
