NHTSA Complaint #10955656 — 2014 HONDA CR-V

SAFECAR.GOV 2-20-17 I KEEP HEARING A SOUND WHEN I START MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER WORK WHEN I START THE CAR TO GO HOME. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN DECEMBER 2016 AFTER MY VEHICLE REACHED APPROX 12,000 MILES. IT'S LIKE A GRINDING SOUND AND IS ONLY ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. MY LOCAL DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL WITH HONDA. THAT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO ME. IN ADDITION, AFTER MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON WHEN I'M DRIVING APPROX 25 MILES ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MY VEHICLE HI CHECK UP, 12,170 MILES. THEN MY BATTERY DIED AT 13,129 MILES A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER MY MY MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, TIRE ROTATION, AND OIL CHANGE. THE AAA ROAD SIDE REPRESENTATIVE SAID I HAD BAD CELLS. TODAY, I READ ONLINE CONSUMER REPORTS OF GRINDING NOISE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO DRIVE A 2014 HONDA CR-V. I CALLED THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE WHO DENIED HEARING THE GRINDING NOISE COMPLAINTS. THEY DID GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER REGARDING MY PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE. THE CORPORATE REP DID REFER ME TO YOUR SITE STATING THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUES AS I THINK IT IS STRANGE THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN AT AROUND 12,000 I'VE SUDDENLY HAD THESE WEIRD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. COULD THESE ISSUES BE CONNECTED BY AN ELECTRICAL SHORT? IS THE LIGHT GOING ON FROM A SHORT? IS THE BATTERY GOING DEAD FROM A SHORT? IS THE GRINDING CONNECTED TO A SHORT? I'M FRUSTRATED BECAUSE, I CAN'T KEEP TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK TO DEAL WITH VEHICLE PROBLEMS. I'VE ATTACHED 2 RECEIPT DOCUMENTS AND I CAN EMAIL A RECORDING OF ME STARTING MY VEHICLE. ALSO, HERE IS A LINK TO A 2014 CRV OWNER'S PUBLIC POSTED VIDEO ABOUT THE SAME NOISE: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/0O_P8BJPWEQ ALSO HERE IS A LINK TO OTHER ONLINE PUBLIC POSTS: HTTP://HONDA-TECH.COM/FORUMS/HONDA-ELEMENT-CR-V-156/2014-CR-V-GRINDING-NOISE-START-UP-3228595/ I HOME YOU CAN HELP GET SOME ANSWERS TO MY PROBLEM.
