HR-V

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,600 miles

This a brand new car and my 5th new Honda to date. I am now very leery of owning this particular model. I have never heard of a brand new car just quit working with little warning. The only warning that I had was the battery light was on with "check charging system" message. Ran the car on the highway and both warnings went away. Then next day the car started with no warnings or messages, 5 minutes later same warning lights came on, 5 minutes after that every warning light came on and lost all power, but car still was running and almost made it home. Everyone tried telling me it was the battery or alternator. In my opinion neither one of those should be faulty in a car so new. Got the car towed for free through my Honda roadside assistance. The dealership wasn't very helpful or nice about this at first until after they tested the computer 5 times and it failed. (Battery & alternator are just fine) Car is being fixed for free (of course) and they have gotten me a rental car. I am hoping this is just a fluke.
