What owners wrote
T.p.m.s. - light comes on regularly, without tires being at incorrect pressures. Random occurrences sometimes tires are low, sometimes they are perfectly set. This is a "safety issue" and concerns me, as this could cause a wreck. The tire pressue monitoring system is faulty, honda repair facilities have been unable to correct the issue. I have repeatedly taken it to two (2) honda dealerships' service departments - one in brunswick, georgia (nalley honda), and the other was in loves park, illinois (napleton honda).
2016 honda hrv - intermittent problem with the car not starting (push button start); key icon remains illuminated. We took it to a dealer who said it must be the battery in the key fob (replaced repeatedly with problem recurring) until finally at 49,000 miles they said it was showing code b12c5 start/stop switch has failed. Diagnosis $144 and replacement $302 total $446. It took 10 days from diagnosis to completed repair because they had to order the part. This was big dealership/service dept.
