I had similar issues with my battery. It would only start after I turned the key a few times. When I got home it died completely. I measured the voltage when it wouldn't start and it was down to 10.2 volts. What it turned out to be was a bad cell which was periodically shorting out. The battery has six cells which measure around two volts apiece. Chances are that one of them may be bad and intermittently shorting out. Other possibility is to have them test the charging output of your alternator. It may be putting out low current and not keeping the battery charged. A lot of short trips will drain down the battery as well if it isn't driven enough to replenish what was used in cranking.

I don't know if I described the problem with my new CRV right. While driving on hightway, it made me feel like both front tires vibrating and the road coming up to foot. I sent my car to a dealer again. They checked both tires and the suspension system, also I took a technician for road testing. They concluded that nothing wrong with my car and my feeling is quite normal for CRVs. They argued that CRVs are so designed that it might not as smooth as other cars such as sedans. I am wondering if all CRV owners think this is correct, and have the same feeling while driving as I have. Thanks.

I'm also feeling an intermittent vibration but only on a straight line. I am guessing the w&t may need balancing or maybe something related to the brakes. I only feel the vibration coming from the front driver side but is rare. I will tell my dealershp and let you know.

The CR-V has a short wheel base, 103 inches. That's 3 inches less than the Civic. As a result, yep, it's going to produce a choppy ride compared to most sedans, especially at freeway speeds. The Accord's wheelbase is 110 inches.
There's not much you can do about the issue. Make sure your tires aren't over inflated. You might see if under inflating them by a couple of pounds helps out, but you wouldn't want to go too far with that.
I find the CR-V's virtues more than compensate for this shortcoming.

Thanks for this info. I'll try following up with a different dealer on this battery.

Kenneth - you rotate the left front to the left back and the same for the right side. This will help you not have to get the balance done over again. I only know this because my man does this to my car/suv.

If you have so-called "directional" tires, you moved front-to-back-back-to-front without them changing from one side of the car to the other. Directional tires can't be flipped, which you'd have to do if switching to the other side of the car. I have low-noise tires on one vehicle, for example and can't switch them to another side without having them going in the wrong direction.
If you have non-directional tires -- and most are -- move the back ones not only forward but each to the other side of the vehicle. The front tires goe straight back.

How do I know that if the tire is "directional" or "non-directional"?
