2016 Honda CR-V complaints

STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN CABIN UPON ENTERING VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING, OR WHILE IDLING. HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON CITY STREET, OR HIGHWAY. CAN BE DISSIPATED BY TURNING ON THE A/C OR OPENING WINDOWS BUT WILL RETURN AFTER CAR IS PARKED OR VENT FAN IS USED.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA CRV SE ON FEB 16, 2017 THAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON 07/16. THREE DAYS LATER I FOUND BOTH FRONT STEERING KNUCKLES COVERED WITH RUST. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA CONTINENTAL HONDA WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND TOLD MY WIFE IT WAS A COATING. SOONER OR LATER THE BOLTS ON THESE KNUCKLES WILL CORRODE AMD CAN BRAKE.

STRONG FUEL ODORS INSIDE THE CAR WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. HAPPENED FEW TIMES NOW. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING OUT OF ORDINARY. TOLD US THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS A STRONG NOXIOUS GASOLINE SMELL FILLING THE CABIN WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY HONDA HAS KNOW OF THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE LAST YEAR. DESPITE THIS, THEY KNOWING SOLD US THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DISCLOSING THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM (HOPKINS HONDA IN MINNESOTA) AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CONFIRMED PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND THAT HONDA IS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. IN THE MEANTIME MY FAMILY AND I ARE FORCED TO INHALE THIS FUMES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF MY FAMILY.

ON START-UP AND WHEN BACKING UP INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECENTLY FUELED (CURRENTLY HAS 1/4 TANK). DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. ONLINE POSTINGS, AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS, SHOW OTHER 2016 CR-V OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL DOES MY HONDA HAVE A TAKATA AIR BAG.

SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE WE HAVE SMELLED FUEL WITHIN THE PASSENGER AREA COMING FROM THE FRESH AIR VENTS. WE MUST ACTUALLY AIR OUT OUR GARAGE (WHICH HAS NO OTHER SOURCES OF GASOLINE WITHIN) IN ORDER TO GET THE SMELL OUT OF THE GARAGE. THIS PROCESS BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT DURING OUR WISCONSIN WINTER. THE DEALERSHIP IMPLIED THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM BUT AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. IN CALIFORNIA BELIEVES THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AT NO TIME IS THE ODOR OF FUEL OR EXHAUST IN THE PASSENGER CABIN ACCEPTABLE OR SAFE.

THE VEHICLE CABIN SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE, THIS IS PERSISTENT. I LOOKED ON A HONDA CR-V FORUM AND SAW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX IT, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TPM LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TRAVELING 2 1/2 HOURS ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH. CHECKED TIRES AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS PRESSURE HIGH. TIRES CHECKED DAY BEFORE TRIP AT 32 PSIA WITH TPM LIGHT COMING ON DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHECKED TIRES AFTER TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND TIRE PRESSURE WAS 35 PSIA. HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON TRIPS OVER 21/2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. DEALER SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ANNOYING SINCE I WILL HAVE TO BRING A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND CHECK ALL FOUR TIRES TO SEE WHEN THE TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND SEE IF WARNING IS DUE TO TIRES HEATING UP DURING LONG PERIODS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING RESULTING IN HIGHER TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

A SNOWSTORM ON DECEMBER 5, 2016 LEFT ME UNABLE TO NAVIGATE THE ROAD SAFELY BECAUSE THE ALL SEASON TIRES BOUGHT WITH THE CAR BECAME STIFF WITH COLD AND HAZARDOUS IN SNOW. BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P SPORT AS P265/65R17 ARE CLEARLY NOT ALL SEASON TIRES AND DO NOT BELONG ON CR-VS SOLD IN COLD CLIMATE STATES. I ATTACH MY RECEIPT FOR OTHER TIRES I PURCHASED TO REPLACE THESE AND MY LETTER TO HONDA.

AT THE END OF A PRIVATE ROADWAY, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO SWITCH TO REVERSE AND BACK UP INTO A PARKING AREA. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT HIT A GARAGE DOOR, AND THE REAR OF TWO VEHICLES BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP. THE ENTIRE TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN IT FINALLY STOPPED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO EVALUATE THE CAUSE OF BRAKE FAILURE. SEALER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT OK....UPDATED 02/22/17 *BF

2016 HONDA CR-V VIBRATION ISSUE - MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AGO, I STARTED TO NOTICE A SLIGHT VIBRATION UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN AT IDLE, E.G. SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM AHMC REGARDING A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE ASAP ON MY VEHICLE. THE NOTICE MENTIONED THAT, "THE SOFTWARE IN THE PCM CAUSES A LOW PRESSURE PROBLEM IN THE CVT. THIS MAY ALLOW THE BELT IN THE CVT TO SLIP. IF THE BELT SLIPS, YOU MAY SEE A SURGE IN RPM WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THE BELT SLIPS THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE DAMAGED AND DTC P1890 (THE CVT SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM) WILL SET." THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A MORE PRONOUNCED VIBRATION UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND EVEN INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE INTENSITY OF THE VIBRATION VARIES, BUT IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY. NOW THAT I HAVE HIT THE 5K MILE MARK AND HAD MY FIRST SERVICE DONE, I AM AFRAID THAT THE OLDER THE TRANSMISSION GETS, THE WORSE THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BECOME. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIBRATION ISSUE, BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. BEFORE BUYING THIS VEHICLE, MY RESEARCH INDICATED THAT MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE 2015 MODEL STARTED TO REPORT THE VIBRATION ISSUE RIGHT AROUND THIS TIME (5K MILES + OR AROUND THE FIRST SCHEDULED SERVICE) AND FOR MOST, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. I AM CONVINCED THAT THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED TO THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO THE HONDA BRAND AND I RE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE REVERSING AT 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHOUT WARNING. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT IN THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE KNEE THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INADVERTENTLY AND CRASHED INTO A LANDSCAPE TIMBER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT IN THE PARKING LOT AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

I AM HEARING A VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HEATSHIELD WAS KINKED WRONG AND REPLACED REAR BODY HEAT SHIELDS. STILL HEARING AND FEELING VIBRATION!

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH THE BACKSEAT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW (WHICH WAS CLOSED COMPLETELY) SHATTERED AND IMPLODED INTO THE ENTIRE BACKSEAT AND FLOOR OF VEHICLE. DRIVING STRAIGHT, 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, NO OBJECT COLLISION. VEHICLE IS APPROX. 6 MONTHS OLD (PURCHASED NEW) WITH JUST UNDER 10K MILES ON IT. VEHICLE ONLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND OTHERWISE IN MINT CONDITION. AFFECTED WINDOW WAS UNDAMAGED PRIOR TO THE EVENT; NO CRACKS, STAR MARKINGS, OR CHIPS NOTED ON WINDOW PRIOR TO EVENT. BACK OF CAR FILLED WITH SHATTERED GLASS AND TINY SHARDS OF GLASS. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN THE BACKSEAT AT THE TIME.

VEHICLE "STALLS" WHEN: BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT OCCURS REGULARLY. ONE ONE OCCATION STALL OCCURED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN RESULTING CONFUSION BETWEEN DRIVER IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MYSELF AS I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE STALL DURATION IS BETWEEN 1 TO 3 SECONDS AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING LONGER AS THE PARTS OR SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE WEARING. STALLS OCCUR MOSTLY IN CITY DRIVING I SUSPECT THAT THE TROUBLE IS WITHIN THE "DRIVE BY WIRE" OR THE CVT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED HEAVILY WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,900.

ENGINE SUDDENLY OVERHEATED AND STOPPED RUNNING. CAR IS 4 MONTHS OLD WITH 1,600 MILES ON ODOMETER. NO ADVANCE WARNING. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. OURISMAN HONDA BETHESDA MD DIAGNOSED AS PINHOLE IN RADIATOR HOSE. NO CAUSE PROVIDED. ON DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON DC STREET BUT COULD HAVE BEEN ON HIGH-SPEED HIGHWAY.

I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 2 OR 3 MPH. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE TO PARK, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE PEDAL DIDN'T SEEM TO MOVE. IT FELT SOLID AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. MY CAR JUMPED THE SMALL CURB AND HIT A VEHICLE IN THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT. MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP AND THE BODY SHOP OWNER SAID THE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON. HONDA AGREED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A HONDA CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHECK OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM. A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND SAID THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID I SHOULD DRIVE IT AND MONITOR THE BRAKES. WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE BRAKES FAILING AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THAT VEHICLE AGAIN.

UPON INITIAL START THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF RAW GAS, COMING IN THROUGH VENTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY WORSE WHEN IN REVERSE SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, ALSO THIS IS PRESENT WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR DRIVE, SUCH AS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG YOU ARE FORCED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION - THE ENGINE IS AT 600 RPM WHEN IDLING. THIS CREATES A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR AT IDLE. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS VIBRATION IS CAUSING ME DIZZINESS AND SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING (AND I NEEDED TO BE PICKED UP). I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT ALL 2016 HONDA CR-V IDLE AT 600 RPM. THEY OFFERED NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

ON 8/10/2016, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ON A STREET WITH A DOWNWARD SLOPE TOWARDS A CROSSROAD. MY DAUGHTER (A KID) WAS SITTING AT THE BACK SEAT. WHEN SHE SAW THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS RED, SHE TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PRESSING THE BRAKE. BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. SHE FELT THAT SHE WAS PRESSING A ROCK. SHE WAS PLANNING TO GO STRAIGHT ACROSS THE JUNCTURE, BUT IN ORDER TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE RED LIGHT AND A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT, SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE RIGHT TOWARDS THE STREET ON HER RIGHT SIDE. THEN SHE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR MY WIFE. CLEARLY THE BRAKE FAILED. SO THE NEXT MORNING (8/11) WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKE. AFTER CHECKING, THEY TOLD US THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT, AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEREFORE I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. AND REQUESTED THAT THEY SEND SOMEBODY TO CHECK THE VEHICLE. AFTER A LONG DELAY, THEIR DISTRICT SERVICES MANAGER VISITED THE LOCAL DEALER, AND INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIP TO BLEED THE BRAKE FLUID. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IF THERE IS AIR IN THE BRAKE FLUID, YOU NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKE FLUID. BUT THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM MY WIFE EXPERIENCED WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE, SHE FELT SHE WAS PRESSING A ROCK. THE BRAKE FAILED AT THAT TIME. SO WE REQUESTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT THEY DECLINED ON THE BASIS THAT THEY COULD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT 3 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,552. UPDATED 11/07/16*LJ THE CONSUMER SOLD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AS A TRADE IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD DEFLATED. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

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

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY, MOTOR RUNNING, IN PARK. DRIVER WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR WITH DRIVER DOOR OPEN ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST DRIVER SEAT POSITION. PASSENGER REACHED OVER AND PUSHED START/STOP BUTTON (DID NOT CONTACT THE SHIFT LEVER). VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD,ACROSS STREET INTO NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY AND THEN CAME TO REST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. DRIVER DROPPED AND ROLLED AND SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES(SCRAPES AND BRUISING) NO POLICE REPORT FILED.

2016 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, FAIL TO ACCELERATE AND CUT OFF. DEALERSHIP STATED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE/ *SMD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BUZZING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT 20-25 MPH, GOING DOWN SMALL HILL, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 40 MPH. APPLIED BRAKES, WITH NO RESULT. CONTINUED UP GRADUAL INCLINE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, DETERMINED THAT BRAKES WERE AGAIN RESPONDING, CONTINUED SLOWLY TO DESTINATION (TWO OR THREE BLOCKS). HONDA ARRANGED TOW TO DEALER. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO "DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN," AND STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS READY FOR US TO PICK UP. DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS BRAND NEW CAR AGAIN.

I BOUGHT A 2016 CRV TOURING TWO MONTH AGO, THE NEXT DAY I REALIZED THE ENTIRE CAR HAS A STRONG VIBRATION, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ISSUE IT WAS FOR THE 2015 CRVS , I HAVE THE SAME VIBRATION. I'M SO FRUSTRATED THEY SAID ITS NORMAL BUT IS NOT! I SEARCHED ON YOUTUBE AND OTHER OWNERS ARE GOING THROUGH THIS TOO. WHEN I. TURN OFF THE A/C THE REVS GOES TO 500 AND THE VIBRATION INCREASE, THE AC IS NOT GOOD IT DOESN'T BLOW COOL AIR ( I HAVE A 2010 GRAND VITARA AND THE AC WORKS BETTER)

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CABIN AT IDLE. ALSO FILLS GARAGE WITH THE ODOR WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MOVED HANDS AND FEET TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT CAUSING IT, THEN PRESSED CANCEL BUTTON ON CRUISE TO STOP IT. BY THIS TIME I WAS GOING 80 MPH. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME OR COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE OR REPLICATE PROBLEM. GOING ON VACATION FOR A WEEK AND WILL BE USING CRUISE AGAIN. WILL PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHILE ON HIGHWAY. HAVE COPY OF DEALER WORK ORDER, BUT IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR UPLOAD. WILL RETAIN IN CASE YOU NEED TO CONTACT AT A LATER DATE.

THERE IS NOT SCIENTIFIC DATA TO SUPPORT THE NEED OF HAVING TPMS. PLUS, THE TPMS DESIGN IS BAD SINCE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERIES REQUIRE ALL TPMS UNIT TO BE CHANGED. THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE DONE FROM THE OUTSIDE NOT REQUIRING TO DEFLATE THE TIRES. ALSO THE TPMS SHOULD BE EASY TO INSTALL DIRECTLY ON THE VALVE REQUIRING THE VALVE TO BE REDESIGN TO ACCOMODATE SUCH NEW TPMS.

THE CABIN OF MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE FILLS WITH GAS FUMES RANDOMLY WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE FUMES FILL THE CABIN WHILE IDLING, STARTING, AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR ANY DISTANCE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE HONDA TECH CENTER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY.

NTSB: 2016 HONDA CRV: CONSUMER STATED THE CAR WILL STOP WHILE IN DRIVE, AND IT WILL ALSO KEEP MOVING WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT SOMEONE DRIVING. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STANDSTILL ON A SLOP., WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE, HE WAS ABLE TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER STATED IN DOING SO, THE VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLY ROLL AWAY. *JB

2016 HONDA CRV VIBRATION AT 50 AND 70 MPH SPEEDS AND SHAKES EVEN ON A SMOOTH ROADWAY.

THE CAR OPERATES ON A KEYLESS IGNITION, AND USES PUSH BUTTON START. THE ISSUE IS, ONCE THE CAR IS RUNNING, IT WILL STAY RUNNING WITHOUT THE COMPUTER FAB KEY IN THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I CAN LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AND WALK OUT OF THE CAR WITH THE KEY IN HAND AND IT STAYS RUNNING, A CHILD OR SOMEONE CAN GET IN THE CAR AND SHIFT THE GEAR LEVER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. ALSO THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN I LEFT THE CAR WITH THE COMPUTER KEY IN MY POCKET AND NO FLASHING OF LIGHTS OR BLINKING OR HORN NOISE. THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE NHTSA LAWS THAT NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE RUNNING ONCE THE KEY HAS LEFT THE CAR. WELL THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE CAR, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE SHOULD SHUT OFF AFTER THE KEY HAS LEFT THE CAR. THIS PUSH BUTTON START IS CHEAP AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. THE CAR SHOULD SHUTOFF WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE CAR. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THE DOOR OPEN AND KEY IN MY POCKET, THE CAR FAILED TO SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE PUSH BUTTON HAS TO BE PRESSED TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE CAR PER NHTSA RULES AND REGULATIONS

UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE 30 - 40 MILES I GET LEG CRAMPS AND MY TOES GET NUMB. I ENCOUNTERED THIS WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER. I DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM ON THE TEST DRIVE AS IT WAS RELATIVELY SHORT. I TRIED SEVERAL SEAT POSITIONS TO RE-LEAVE THE PAIN TO NO AVAIL(NOTE THIS IS A LEATHER POWER SEAT WITH SEVERAL ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS). I RESEARCHED THE WEB FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT TO BE PERVASIVE. I HATE THE VEHICLE AND WANT TO RETURN IT. IT IS CAUSING SEVER LEG AND BACK PROBLEMS. HONDA SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM. NOTE I TALKED WITH MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR HONDA AND HE AGREED THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT / DESIGN PROBLEM THAT IS NOT ON OTHER SIMILAR SUV VEHICLES (I.E. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED SLOPING DOWNWARD TO RELIEVE BLOOD CIRCULATION PROBLEMS IN THE LEGS ABOVE THE KNEES).

SEATS ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I CANNOT DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 15 MIN AND MY RIGHT LEG IS NUMB AND I HAVE PAIN IN THE RIGHT BUTTOCKS. IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MOVE AROUND TO RELIEVE THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT.

I BOUGHT A 2016 TOURING CRV IN DECEMBER. THE VIBRATION ISSUE THAT PLAGUED THE 2015 CRV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE 2016 MODELS. WELL, IT'S NOT. I DIDN'T FEEL IT WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR, BUT THE ONE I GOT CLEARLY VIBRATES WHEN AT IDLE. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL. WELL, I'VE DRIVEN LOTS OF CARS IN MY LIFE, AND IT IS NOT NORMAL.

VIBRATION AT IDLE IN GEAR. I FOUND THE VIBRATION ON THE SECOND DAY I GOT THE CAR WITH ONLY ABOUT 100 MILES ON IT. IT VIBRATES AT IDLE IN GEAR. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS AT 600-700 RPM. WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER TO MAX SO IT GOES TO 800 RPM, THE VIBRATION STOPS. BUT ONCE THE HEATER IS OFF AND IT DROPS BACK TO 600-700 RPM, THE VIBRATION COMES BACK. VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE HONDA JUST CLAIMED THAT THEY FIXED THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY NOT TRUE.
