To you question: no idea. But I know my aunt has a Honda CR-V that needs to go back to the shop every 1-4 months to get a cable harness serviced and they have to take apart a huge part of the car to do it. I think it’s more a matter of unintended consequences. In the case of the Honda, the dealership tells her their understanding is Honda thought it was nestled away deeply enough it’d be protected. Big oops on their part the integrity measure failed and results in hours of maintenance to repair it

  The person with a honda in the shop every few months? Sorry to say, some cars are just a lemon.

  Lookup 2018 Honda CR-V electrical issues. It’s not that uncommon.

    Did you actually read any of the issues reported in the link you supplied? Those are all run-of-the-mill electrical issues, and none of them seem to indicate that they are repeatedly taking their vehicles in for service for the SAME problem in the SAME component that requires dismantling a large portion of the vehicle.

      The idea that this guy's aunt is getting the same wiring harness serviced 4-12 times a year is completely absurd, but this website will eat that right up if we're in a Tesla thread.

  How could you possibly know this when there are tens of thousands of this car sold every month? This anecdote doesn't even have to be part of any broader problem.

    People going full “galaxy brain I know everything without researching or asking questions” annoys me like nothing else. So I took a whopping 2 minutes to Google it and there’s hundreds of reports of the 2018 Honda CR-V having a FUBAR’d electrical system https://www.aboutautomobile.com/Consumer-Complaint/2018/Honda/CR-V/Electrical-System https://www.aboutautomobile.com/Consumer-Complaint/2018/Hond...

  I would also like to know how you could possibly know for certain if the parent was lying? And why the visceral reaction to boot?

    The older I’ve gotten and longer I’ve worked in technical fields, the more I’ve realized there’s a true dichotomy of folks: -The infinitely curious and willing to acknowledge the limit of their experiential knowledge -People who’s self confidence is derived from their “expertise”/ ability to diagnose “anything” based on past experience My first brush with this was working on the Xbox 360 OS. We hit an “out of memory” error out of nowhere, even when reverting all the code back. Assets were in their own branch and no one thought to look there. We were getting ready for the E3 “floor demos” so things like box art for the game library etc were just hard coded in. Stack traces commenced, etc. The OS was supposed to prevent loading too many static assets that would cause that. One engineer suggested something like “…wait what if is actually just too many textures loaded”. Everyone said it was impossible and dismissed him. He left the room. About 40 minutes later he’d converted all the box art to white PNGs and had it back working fine. Turned out PNGcrusher modified the header of some assets in a way that interfered with the load limiter. We did eventually have to convert/ manually redraw a ton of OS assets from PNG to “SVG” (we used some in-house XML format to define ‘SVG’). I tend to think people in tech overuse Occam’s razor (particularly with systems involving humans), but many times, an over reliance on “domain knowledge” or past experience really serves no purpose and is just ego driven.

  I owned a Honda CR-V. This is very consistent with my experience with them.

    You get a wiring harness serviced 3-12 times a year without a proper resolution? I don't believe you.
