Every dozen starts or so, the starter doesn't engage and I get
a buzzing sound when I turn the key. I try it again and it works fine.
What could be going on here?

These have been recalled. Contact your dealer.

DavidB,

You didn't mention your mileage, or what country you're in, but if your
CRV has an immobilizer, (ignition key with a chip in it), you may have
problems if you've got a huge metalic keyfob or lots of keyrings
attached. I don't have a manual for a 2002, but I expect your manual
mentions this in the chapter about the 'lamp test', which is performed
every time you turn your key to the ON II position.

If the manual doesn't help explain the phenomenon, try reposting your
question in a different way....
