Car frequently won't start. Dash light comes on and engine cranks, but doesn't fully turn over. After driving 60 miles, was left parked for 3 hours and this occurred. Has also happened after shorter trips. No lights or accessories were left on.
The ac system has suddenly stopped working. Going into the hot summer months the ac system occasionally blows cold air but quickly switches to hot air when driving for extended periods (over 10 minutes). This is not only a huge inconvenience in 80+ degree weather, but also a safety concern with excessive heat circulating in the car in the hot summer months. I have tried to remedy the problem by checking freon compressor and condenser but nothing gives. This seems to be a major issue on 2016 manufacturing for civics and CRV's.
Dashboard low tire pressure lights up for no reason, service dept..writer at barber Honda in bakersfield, ca told me that's it's a major problem with many other Honda models and have told the Honda headquarters but they ignore it and don't do anything about this problem.

The ambient temperature has an effect on the switch that opens the rear hatch on the car. If the temperature is in the 30's it will not open until the cars heater warms the interior of the car sufficiently.this is an electric switch that may be depressed on either side. Pressure on the switch is not a factor. I have held the switch for 30 to 60 seconds on a cold morning with no results. This happens when the car has been parked for several hours even in a garage. Temperature seems to be the only factor. There is no other way to release the hatch latch other than the pressure switch on the rear gate. This has been a constant problem since the car was new and continues to date.I have seen similar complaints on blogs from CRV owners with no solution from dealers.
Tire pressure sensor keeps going/staying on even though tires are properly inflated. Dealership won't cover cost to find problem and repair it. It is a known defect reported by many users.
On multiple occasions for the past year, this car has stalled when you press the gas pedal. You press the gas, the car "chugs, " and either slows down and has to catch up to itself, or it completely shuts off. It happens pulling out of the driveway, at stop signs, and intersections. We've brought the car to the dealership multiple times, and they can't find the problem. It even stalled on their tech once, but they still couldn't fix it. They suggested replacing the battery, so we did, and nothing changed. This is incredibly dangerous, and nobody at the dealership or the corporate office did anything to address the issue. I believe this car should be recalled and off the road immediately.
For the 3rd time in a year my car battery was drained after parked in the garage for the weekend. Very frustrating when you have a new vehicle that is not dependable. I took it to the Honda dealership and they tested the battery and said it was fine. After a little research I see that Honda has been aware of this problem for years, I guess more people need to file a complaint before they are forced to offer a recall and fix the problem. I will not buy another Honda!
Upon entering and attempting to start the SUV, after closing the door and buckling the entire system will not start intermittently. Stranding the passengers and requiring a boost from another vehicle or tow truck. The lights come on when you attempt to start the vehicle but the engine only clicks and failes to start. A certified mechanic has investigate the alternator, and battery, both were functioning correctly. There have been numerous complaints about this same issue.
In less than 3 years of my 2016 Honda CRV ownership, I have gone through three batteries. As such the car is very well maintained, driven about 25K miles and mostly on highways. CRV would not start and required jump start, to say needed twice in the last week itself. Luckily since I was still under Honda warranty, I did not pay for the batteries but thinking about getting less than a year on Honda 's original battery is insane. Something must be seriously wrong with this make/model of the vehicle.
After sitting in vehicle with radio playing on accessory for 20 minutes the vehicle would not start requiring a boost from aaa. After returning home and in my driveway I checked the voltage on the battery with the engine off and it read $12.31. I started the vehicle and the voltage read $13.22 after a few seconds it went down to $12.25 indicating it wasn't charging. I turned on the headlights and the reading jumped to $14.11 and remained there about until I turned the lights off whereupon it returned to the lower part of 12 volts.
The car will not start. It blinks 'accessory mode' when you try to start it and you cannot get the car out of it without having someone jump the car battery. This has now left my wife stranded two times and both times we had to find someone to jump her.
Ignition started making a zapping noise upon starting. I would then have to try to start again. One day it finally didn't start at all. They stated my battery was no good after approximately 28K miles. Fast forward 7 months later and the ignition is making the same zapping noise yet again. After looking online, there are several other people having the same issue with this make and model
The headlights turn on randomly and off while driving in full sunlight. The lights have come on without input while the car is parked and the ignition is off. American Honda has authorized and replaced both the wiring harness and the fuse box in an attempt to fix this issue. They have refused to do further work on this vehicle and the problem still exists. Once the battery was completely dead in the morning when I tried to use it. It was driven the night before. The lights have turned themselves on with no input from the key fob or the driver when the car is parked. Multiple people have witnessed the car doing this. I have many MP4 files documenting the headlights coming on and going off at random while driving. Under the description of "when did this happen" I put the reported date to the dealership. It happens most every time that I drive the car for any extended period over a few miles.
Electronic trunk system/hatch back door switch does not operate in cold conditions. Honda dealer is required to open hatch back to gain entry. There is no way for a consumer to manually open hatch back door. Expensive repair of $300+. part number 74810-T0A-A02.

The instrument panel flashed, then went dark, though the vehicle was still running with no other issues immediately noted. Driver pulled into a parking lot about 300' away, put the vehicle into park, and upon exiting saw fire coming from the front of the engine compartment. The fire department responded, but the vehicle was fully involved by the time they arrived on scene 7 minutes later.
