When our 2018 decided to do the same thing you're talking about (a year and a half ago or so) and the brake pedal did weird stuff (sorta "vibrated" etc) when I went to start it, and it wouldn't start, I hooked up my "battery jumper" and started it. It started and ran OK but did that the next time. I read up on it and saw that it was the battery, which the car came with brand new, that caused it to do this crazy crap. I replaced the battery myself and have not had a problem since then. You'd think that a warning about the battery/charging system would've come up on the dash. I've since heard of this happening to other CR-Vs. As a result, I have two of those jumpers (I got a refund on the first one and was told to keep it, because the cheapie clamps were all plastic except for the "jaw" on one of the sides of the clamp, the wire going to that metal "jaw" and the spring/axle that held the two halves together - the plastic clamps crumbled and were useless, hence the refund and being told to keep it, but I digress). I bought a new jumper and put all metal clamps on the "old" one. So, that's why I have two... OH, and I recharge them whenever they get below about 50%..

Our 2017 CRV will not start. The battery in it is the original factory battery. About a month ago, we had the dash lights light up and all the system errors. Wife brought it to a shop that was doing her wheel alignment and he diagnosed that it was because the battery was dying. I didn’t believe it at first because the CRV didn’t sound like it had signs of a dying battery by listening to the motor crank over at startup. So we ignored it. Now we are unable to start it. It does the vibrating brake pedal thing like you described as well as random electrical issues and key fob problems. Did you get a new battery yet? Or are you still jump boosting it?

If you are still on your original battery you are way past due. The average time they last seems to be around 3 years. Time to get a new battery.

OP UPDATE!!! I took it to our local mechanic, and it was the "Wheel Speed Sensor- Right Front" that caused all the warning lights to go crazy. The sensor itself didn't fail, but the wire was broken. Looking at the wire it didn't appear that it was a clean cut but maybe a critter (squirrel?) bit it. There were no other gnaw marks on it, so I don't know. There were no issues the day before when my wife was driving it but the next morning, when she started it, all the warning lights came on. All I know is it cost $170.20 (parts, labor and tax) to have it repaired. I did replace the four-year-old battery ($110.00) first, but that probably would have been needed in the near future. Life is good. Thanks for all your input.

Thanks for coming back and updating.

All things considered, least it wasnt a major repair bill

My wife went out to start her car and it started fine. But... all the dash lights and warning signs are going off. To turn off the motor she had to press the start button 2x or hold it in for a few seconds. Any idea what caused this? 2018 CR-V Touring w/ AWD 38,000 miles and bought new. This has never happened before (no issues ever).

First, I guess I should have talked with my son earlier to find out about these online forums and YouTube videos...I could have potentially saved myself over $800. I own a 2017 CRV, and in December of 2022 I replaced my original battery. Shortly after the replacement I started experiencing the same issues. I took it to my dealer and was told the ABS sensor and wheel bearing needed to be replaced. I am not a mechanic, but I know what a bad wheel bearing sounds and feels like. My service writer stated that the wheel bearing is fine, but needs to be replaced along with the ABS sensor because they are integrated. I trust this guy, been going to him for 5 years, so let's do the work. Basically $400 for labor and $400 for parts and I'm all set. Now I'm wondering if I wasn't rolled like a cheap cigar.

If, to you, your wheel bearing sounded OK, all that needed to be replaced was the sensor unit. Yeah, sounds like the service writer needed the busine$$ to keep the mechanics going.

Wheel speed sensors on CRVs & Accords are integrated with the hub in the sense that the sensor is inserted into the hub to read the spine rotation. It is held in by an 8 / 10 mm bolt. Both the bolt & the sensor can come out, albeit in older vehicles you may have to use a little more lubricating spray & gentle twisting to get it out. Depending on the DIY skills of you & your son, along with parts availability & your tool crib, you could have done the sensor replacement in your driveway for under $50.

Not bashing the guy, and he may have not known, but, most service advisors have no idea the technical aspects of a vehicle.

They are more sales oriented and don't read TSBs like techs. Most of their verbiage comes from the tech.

You stated your not a mechanic, well, you may know more than him.

Best to start a new thread of your own @Mets Fan since the OP to this thread has concluded their issue
