Honda Cr-v Electrical System Safety Report | Apr 14, 2012
Reported on Apr 14, 2012
| I HAVE HAD 3 BATTERIES IN MY CR-V SINCE PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A BAD CELL (CAR WOULD REQUIRE A JUMP AFTER SITTING 3-5 DAYS WITHOUT BEING STARTED). JUST HAD IT IN THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA THAT CERTAIN CR-V'S WITH CERTAIN VIN'S NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE (PGM-F1) THAT REGULATES BATTERY CHARGING/DISCHARGE. I REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IS A DEFINITE HASSLE AND WONDER WHY HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A GENERAL RECALL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I AM ALSO UNSURE IF THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR | |
