2010 HONDA CR-V Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

VEHICLE STARTER MAKES A NOISE LIKE THE STARTER IS STAYING ENGAGED AFTER ENGINE HAS STARTED. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AS IT HAPPENS IN WINTER AND SUMMER. STARTER GOT WORSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND FOR THE DEALER TO DO SOMETHING. VEHICLE HAS SURPASSED 36000 MILE WARRANTY SO HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STARTER. WENT TO PERSONAL MECHANIC TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED. *TR ## VIN PASSED ## HONDA CRV 2010 ##

ACCELERATION IS STILL SLUGGISH AFTER UPDATES. PROBLEM WITH ENGINE IS NOT FIXED AS IT IS PROBABLY A POOR DESIGN. UPDATES MADE THE SITUATION BETTER. IT RAN BEST AFTER THE UPDATES. FIRST HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD. *TR
