NHTSA Complaint #11375023 — 2015 HONDA CR-V

THE STARTER ON THIS CAR COMPLETELY DIED AT ABOUT 56,000 MILES. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. HONDA WAS RESPONSIVE WHEN I REACHED OUT TO ASK IF THE PART WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY GAVE ME A $300 GIFT CARD FOR MY TROUBLE EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN I SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH A 2015 CRV HAVE ISSUES WITH THE STARTER. I BELIEVE THE PART IS FAULTY, AND COULD BE A SAFETY RISK DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY TO GET STUCK ON MY OWN ON A WARM DAY IN A SAFE AREA. I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2018 AND AM JUST SHOCKED THAT A PART WHICH IS SO VITAL TO THE BASIC FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR WOULD DIE WITHIN A FEW YEARS. I WANTED TO MAKE A REPORT SO THAT THIS IS ON RECORD AND WOULD HOPEFULLY LEAD TO A RECALL.
