Description of the problem | Starting about 9 months ago i have had several occasions of electrical issues on my 2017 honda civic that is less than a year and a half old and only has 18k miles on it. It first started around the fall last year with my car repeatedly popping the trunk when i would not be near it and would come out to it in the parking lot at work and find my trunk wide open. Later on i found out the trunk popping open would force the car alarm to go off for several hours and occasionally would lead to a dead battery. When i took it in to have the issue investigated the technicians told me the couldn't diagnose the problem and that it shouldn't continue (it has continued and in fact is happening as i type this in my apartment). The next issue occurred about 2 months ago while i was driving down the interstate in the pouring rain and my windshield wipers stopped working completely. Upon having this problem inspected the technicians determined it was "faulty" windshield wiper motors and had both replaced. The latest issue that occurred was as i was driving to pensacola from washington and stopped off at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere oregon for some sleep. Upon waking up (3hrs after i shut the car off) i discovered my car was doing some glitchy thing with all the lights and dashboard where it was acting like i was turning it off and on. I had nothing turned on or plugged in when i went to sleep and when i woke up the car was completely dead and the electrical system had totally disabled the car. |
