Multiple times per week recently, the car will not turn over when starting the car, while all dash lights light up like a Christmas tree. There is no pattern when it just decides to act up-€¦recently 2-3 times a week, in the past 2-3 times a month, it seems random. Sometimes, after it will not start and I leave it alone for some time I.e.: 30-60 minutes, and try to start it again, the car starts right up with no issue. This has left this female driver of this 2018 HR-V stranded numerous times. Several times it happened while driving, the car shuts off at low speed, and won-€™t start again. It has become a major concern that it can become a death trap. This car has just over 10k miles on it-€¦ it-€™s barely broken in-€¦.And with brand new battery just replaced !!!!!!
The stere will turn on and off and makes loud sharp noises then shuts off. Other things in the vehicle sometimes don't work- control stereo with steering wheel bottons
About a month and a half after purchasing this vehicle I took my family (wife and kids) on a weekend trip. It was about an 8-hour drive there and 8 hours back. About 3 hours into the trip my left leg started aching where it meets the seat cushion. I made mention of it to my wife and decided to push on with our journey. About 20 minutes later the pain had radiated into my left hip, and lower back. Luckily I had a pillow in the car that was brought for the kids to lean on as they usually nap on these long trips. I have spoken with the dealer and Honda corporate. Corporate wants a repair estimate to move forward, and the dealer will not provide me with one because after a lengthy test with another Hr-V it was concluded that the issue exists in all Hr-V models and therefore is a manufacturer defect/issue. This puts me between a rock and a hard place. I wish I could do what others have and just trade this thing in leaving Honda and looking at it as the worst decision I ever made and move on with my life, but I do not have that option at the moment.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Hr-V. the contact stated that there were several failures with the vehicle. The driver's side door window kept going up and down, the electric power steering (eps) failed, the eps warning indicator flashed, and the steering wheel seized while reversing the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off, restarted, and taken to grappone imports Inc (519 route 3A, bow, nh 03304, 800-528-8993), but the dealer was unable to duplicate and diagnose the failures. There was no diagnostic trouble code present at the time. The contact was provided with a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 5. the VIN was not available.

I had the car for 9 months now, only had 20000 miles on it, whenever I make short trips like 3 miles, then turn off the engine, rest for like 6 mins or less, then try to start the car again; it will not go through.. I went to autozone to test the battery, and they said that its working fine. The battery has power, but for some reason it cant make the car start. All of the lights on the dashboard is working, even headlights, and all controls. But it cant make the car start, I know there's no problem with the alternator and battery. Im hoping that there's no problem with the starter..
Got the car on October 2017, drove it off the lot brand new is a 2018 car driving to my house the lights on my dashboard lights up breaks, motor, oil, air on tires, all of them light up like a christmas tree, I took to the Honda dealer and the assistant manager reset the car because the service department was closed. A week later the lights came up again. I call them and they told me to bring in the car they don't know what's going on since this is a new car with no recalls. I guess the reset the car again and gave it back to me. December 2017 again the lights came on I called the dealership now I'm worried because I don't want to drive a car where I don't know if my breaks are working or any other part of the car since I'm driving this car every day to work. They told me it was the oil pump they order one and changed it. Here we are on March 26, 2018, and the lights are all backlighting my dashboard there must be something wrong with this car. I am scared to drive this car.
