| Description of the problem | Non-driving failure: at night, when opening car the door, meter needles keep shaking regardless if key is in or out. In-driving failure: for each day first driving, all meter needles suddenly point at 0-position, and brake & maintenance light on and display keeps flashing, regardless if car is moving or at a stop, or fuel tank is full. Such problem keeps several minutes and automatically goes away. The failure is repeated for the first driving of each driving day. Dealer said they do not know the root cause but saw one similar case a few months ago and after replacing the entire meter panel the customer never came back. Dealer mentioned that early build of 2006 honda cr-vs have such problem and american honda already knew the problem. But american honda claimed to the customer that it does not know such failure. Though not knowing the root cause, american honda instructed dealer to replace entire meter panel, the car is still in repair as of 6/22/2006. We found odi id #10156440 has similarity. *jb |
