I purchased my Honda new in 2012. From the minute I bought the car, I started having battery problems. Honda initially tried to blame it on me (saying I must have been running the accessories too long, etc). Luckily, AAA of SoCal ran a diagnostics and proved that the brand new battery in my car was bad. Eventually, in 2013, Honda accepted the AAA report and replaced the battery.
All was good for a time, and in 2014 I started having problems again. I was notified about a recall or some kind of fix for battery draining when I went to the local dealership for an oil changed. I was informed that the life on that battery may have been shorted by the issue but that Honda would NOT give me another battery. Jerks.
Within a few months, the battery died. I replaced it with a battery from AAA of SoCal. This battery was supposed to have a 5 year life. It's been less than 2 years, and I'm having problems again.
To summarize..... my Honda CRV EX-L is only 4-1/2 years old and I'll be on my 4th battery. This is extremely frustrating!!! Honda needs to figure out why this car is killing batteries and causing them to fail well before they should. I can't believe 3 batteries with expected lives of 3-5 years should all fail within such a short period of time.
