| My 2010 crv sometimes doesn't start the first time. this happened more frequently over the last 6 months. what happens is when starting the car there will be a click sound but not the sound of the starter.....turn the key to the off position and try again and the car starts normally. always starts normally on the second try. what i heard was a clear buzzing sound coming right from the steering column, near the ignition switch when the key was turned to the start position. no sounds from the engine at all. the sound was like an electrical buzz. after turning the key on and off three times, then the car started normally with no buzzing coming from the steering column. in searching the web, there are other crvs that report the same thing--abnormal sound at first start and then perfectly normal starts on the second try. this is the third time i took my crv to honda dealer for the same problem. first time, battery was replaces. second time, relay was replaced. no problem fixed. | |||

| Gears began to crunch and the car began to shake. slowed down at a light and lost the power steering. pulled over and the engine stalled. could not re-start for 10 minutes. engine then re-started, traveled approx. 10 meters and stalled. re-started again - no further problems. 2 similar occurrences, 2 months apart. for the first event, the car went off the road. on each occasion the dealership stated they had checked everything and there was nothing wrong with the car. took it for a second opinion. dealership had not checked recall 11-001 (january, 2011). they checked it, but again found no issue. | |||
