CR-Z

  • 19,000 miles
Back in November of 2016 I had an accident, which I believe was caused by a malfunction in the car. Right before loosing control of the vehicle my traction control light flashed rapidly on the dash causing my car to jolt and loose traction. I had spun and hit head on to the side of the mountain. A few more feet to the left and I would've flew off the mountain. I then had my car towed to the dealership and they read all the codes on my car to see if it really was a car malfunction. The 2 codes that brought concern to me where the ( 61-1 battery voltage low & 25-1 yaw rate sensor malfunction) but Honda was unsure if these codes where caused by the accident, but I knew it was what had caused my accident. Just as a reminder I bought this car brand new for the very reason being I wanted to know it was taken care of I didn't want a used car with problems. So my car ended up being fixed by my insurance and it took a total of 3 months before I was able to get it back! because Honda was waiting on a wire harness to be delivered. Then once I get my car back in February of 2017 it runs smoothly as if it was a brand new car I was so excited to finally have my car back! little to know that 2 months later at the end of March beginning of April I would have the same problem. The traction control light doesn't just flash rapidly and make my cars front tires skid and my car jolt while I'm driving but also when I start from a complete stop. I've also noticed that I only have this problem while doing a left turn or maneuver left. On April 3rd 2017 I take my car back in to the Honda dealership 20 minutes after my car does it again! I had them read the codes one more time and what do you know the same 2 codes pop up again! 61-1 battery voltage low & 25-1 yaw rate sensor. All Honda did was clear the code and relearn the sensor. I fear for my life!
