Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues even after replacing the battery. These problems can stem from alternator failure, which prevents the battery from charging properly, leading to difficulties in starting the vehicle. Additionally, issues with the starter can contribute to these intermittent problems, as can failures within the electrical system. Some owners also find that corroded battery cables hinder the flow of electricity, further impacting the starting process. To address these concerns, it is recommended that owners have a mechanic inspect the alternator, starter, and electrical system for underlying issues. Cleaning corroded battery terminals and resetting the system after a battery change are also advised. Regular maintenance, including battery replacement every 3-5 years, can help prevent these starting problems from arising.
