2017 Honda CR-V complaints

SHIFT GEAR PUSH KNOB BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITION. THE VEHICLE IS ~11500 MILES.

SHIFT GEAR PUSH KNOB BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITION.

BROKEN SHIFT LEVER BUTTON. SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS HE IS SEEING SIMILAR OCCURRENCES 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK AND IN SOME INSTANCES CARS HAVE TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING HOME 20 MILE PER HOUR .. I PUT MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON CUZ I WAS GONNA TURN LEFT ALL HE WARRING SIGN POP UP AND I PUSH MY CAR BREAK AND MY CAR DIDN'T STOP AND THEN I PUT GEAR ON PARK AND MY CAR STILL MOVING ... AND THEN I PUSH POWER OFF AND MY CAR STOP ON THE SIDE ROAD ... I SO SCARE ... AND I WAITING ABOUT 2 MINUTE AND PUSH POWER ON AND DRIVE SAFE HOME ... (WHEN I HOME I RESEARCH ON GOOGLE AND I FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE ME PLZ WATCH THOSE VIDEO ' HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/6AMQZDQNMGM ' AND ' HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/JHTWXJXCOTA ' ) WHAT IF I HAPPEN LIKE THAT IN HIGHWAYOR TRAFFIC ... I COULD DIE PLZ HELP I BUY NEW CAR CUZ I WANT TO DRIVE SAFE FOR VERY LONG TIME AND NOW MY VEHICLES IS STILL NEW BUT NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ...

ALL LIGHTS IN DASH ARE FLASHING CRUZE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK CAR HAS BRAKED HARD BY ITSELF FOR NO REASON I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 MONTHS AND IT HAS DONE THIS OFF ON ON COMPUTOR HAS BEEN RESET TWICE ALLLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING FOR 4000 MILES NOW WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL

BOUGHT THE CAR APRIL OF 2017, AFTER A FEW MONTHS CAR WENT DEAD JUMP START IT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC. DEALER REPLACES THE BATTERY, NOT MUCH EXPLANATION WHY. THE PROBLEM HAPPEN 2 MORE TIMES, HAD TO JUMP START CAR AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THIS TIME DEALER TELLING ME THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN REGULARLY AND ALSO ON A CERTAIN DISTANCE SO THAT BATTERY WILL BE CHARGED UP COMPLETELY. AND WAS TOLD TO BUY A PORTABLE CHARGER, THE PROBLEM IS I BOUGHT THIS CAR SUPPOSEDLY FOR WEEKEND USE ONLY, NOW I AM REQUIRED TO DRIVE IT AROUND JUST TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.

WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE FRONT WINDOW WENT DOWN AND THE CLOCK ROLLED BACK 30MINUTES

TIME OF INCIDENT: MONDAY, AUGUST 14TH; 7:30 A.M. WHEN DEPRESSING THE SHIFT KNOB TO SHIFT TO REVERSE, THE BUTTON AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE ATTACHED DISINTEGRATED INTO 3 PIECES. ONCE THIS OCCURRED, I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS SO HAD TO ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WHILE I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE SHIFT KNOB. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT AND PARK THE VEHICLE BY INSERTING MY INDEX FINGER INTO THE SHAFT PORTION WHILE DEPRESSING THE BUTTON INSIDE THE BROKEN PORTION. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALER AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH PARAGON HONDA AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP OR HAVE IT TOWED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AFTER WORK IN THE EVENING, AND THE REPAIR SHOP DID NOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE TIME OF REPAIR WHEN REQUEST NEITHER DID THEY PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE AS STIPULATED IN THE CONTRACT SIGNED WITH THE DEALER WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2018. THIS ISSUE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION SINCE IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS IN UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS.

BATTERY WENT TOTALLY DEAD. DROVE 1.5 HR .AWAY FROM HOME VEHICLE SAT FOR 7 HR. RETURNED TO THE CAR AND DEAD. HAD TO BE JUMPED BY SECUIRTY. DROVE HOME STARTED IT A FEW TIMES AND THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS FINE. I READ WHERE THERE IS A TSB 17-032. SOFTWARE BUG. DROVE TO WORK, WE'LL SEE IF IT STARTS TO GET HOME. GOING TO DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. NO DOCUMENTATION, SECURITY GUARD HAD ME FILL OUT A PAPER FOR THEIR RECORDS

MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED WHEN I APPROACHED A METAL PLATE IN THE ROAD. I WAS NOT DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED AND WOULD HAVE EASILY GONE OVER THE PLATE. I WAS ON A TOWN STREET, GOING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 20 MPH. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME, THEY WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO ME. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE BRAKING.

ENGINE OIL OVERFILL CONDITION EXISTS AS EARLY AS 700 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ENGINE OIL IS ABOVE THE 'FULL' MARK ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE ENGINE OIL HAS THE DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE PRESENT. THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS HONDA CR-V OWNERS FORUMS AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. IT IS OUR FEAR THAT IF THIS OVERFILL CONDITION IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE CRANKCASE ENGINE OIL THAT THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, EXPLOSION, SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, ETC.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL OVER THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. AC BLOWS HOT AIR IN WINTER

THE TIRES SOLD ON THE HONDA CRV IN 2017 ARE SUBSTANDARD. AT 17,000 THEY ARE WORN TO THE POINT OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT. AS SOMEONE THAT IS MORE ACCUSTOMED TO TIRES LASTING 45,000 TO 80,000, THIS QUICK WEAR OUT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE. AT 17,000, I SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE TIRES TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN -- NO SO. THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED FOR NO REASON. I WAS A GOOD 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND CAR AHEAD OF ME. THERE WAS SLIGHT (LESS THAN 1/4 INCH) LIP IN ROAD- NOT EVEN A METAL PLATE

THE APPLE CARPLAY CONSTANTLY DISCONNECTS MAKING MY PHONE AND NAVIGATION USELESS. THE IPHONE WILL RANDOMLY DISCONNECT AND SOMETIMES NOT REGISTER AS CONNECTED.

AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY - WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PEDAL JERKS MOMENTARILY BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE WITH DEAD BATTERY AFTER 2 DAYS OF NOT BEING USED.

THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. AUDIO CONTINUES TO PLAY WITHOUT DISPLAY. PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON SOMETIMES RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT SOMETIME IT REQUIRES TO HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED-OFF TO GET THE DISPLAY BACK.

FOWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE - WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITION, THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY APPLY BRAKE BY ITSELF ACTIVATING THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE "BRAKE" WARNING COMES-UP IN THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD TO PROVIDE A VISUAL WARNING. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN-FRONT AND ANTICIPATED FRONTAL COLLISION. THIS ABRUPT AND RANDOM BRAKING CAN CAUSE A REAR-END COLLISION.

HONDA SENSING ISSUE - WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD APPLY BRAKE BY ITSELF AS IF A FRONTAL COLLISION IS EXPECTED EVEN IF THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLE IN-FRONT.

AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT BUTTON BROKE WHILE I WAS SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND COULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE.

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL . OIL LEVEL RISES OVER FULL MARK ON OIL DIPSTICK SOMETIMES STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN AND AROUND CAR WHEN PARKED .

GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE OIL. DIPSTICK READ IN BETWEEN "THE LINES" ON LEVEL GROUND. DROVE 1500 MILES (APPROX.) DURING A VACATION. CHECKED OIL AT OUR DESTINATION, ON LEVEL GROUND, AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1/4" TO 3/8" ABOVE THE FULL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK AND SMELLED OF GASOLINE. I CALLED HONDA AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER 08740888. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. ALSO THERE IS A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE DEALER DID CHANGE THE OIL.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY. BUTTON TO SHIFT TRANMISSION/GEARS DISINTEGRATED. KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT CAR INTO PARK, ETC. FELT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I WAS GOING 50+ MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. BASED ON LEVEL OF COMPLAINTS - SEE LINK - BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL. ALSO COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HTTPS://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/137-2017-PRESENT-OFFICIAL-SPECS-FEATURES-ETC-GEN-5/168802-GEAR-SHIFT-BUTTON.HTML

VIN: (XXXXX) VEHICLE MILEAGE: 28,903 DESCRIPTION: I AM LEARNING THAT THE RADAR THAT CONTROLS THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, COLLISION MITIGATION ETC. IS ONLY PROTECTED BY A "POP OFF COVER". I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED OVER THE LACK OF PROTECTION WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF MY 2017 HONDA CRV. I AM BEING FACED WITH A MINIMUM $1,100 (PART ONLY) BILL TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO MY CARS RADAR SENSOR MOUNTED IN THE FRONT GRILL. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH RANDOM "DETECTION" COMPUTER MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOW FOR THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC TO BE POPPED OFF BY A SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS ON THE ROAD THAT WAS KICKED UP FROM THE ROAD BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN FRONT OF ME IS RIDICULOUS. WHY WOULD SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT BE MOUNTED DEAD FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED? I'M LOOKING FOR A BETTER OPTION TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED. I AM PRACTICALLY A "LIFE TIME" OWNER OF HONDA PRODUCTS. AND OVER THE YEARS I HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE AND MORE UNIMPRESSED WITH WHAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH AT THE BEGINNING OF MY HONDA JOURNEY. RESPECTFULLY (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

HONDA'S 1.5L TURBO ENGINE OIL LEVEL INCREASES IN THE ENGINE OIL OVER TIME AS UNBURNT EXCESS FUEL COLLECTS ON THE ENGINE CYLINDER WALLS. THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL GROWS QUICKER DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS - SOMETIMES COLDER WEATHER, SOMETIMES FREEWAY SPEEDS, THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY VARIABLES. TO COMBAT THE ISSUE I AM FORCED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL MORE OFTEN FOR FEAR OF ENGINE MISFIRES, ENGINE DAMAGE, AND PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR. WHEN I CHANGE THE OIL, I FILL THE OIL TO THE MID ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK MARK BUT WITHIN 1500 MILES OR SO THE OIL IS AT MAX DIPSTICK LEVEL AGAIN WITH STRONG FUEL SMELLS. TO DATE HONDA USA HAS NO PLAN FOR CORRECTION LET ALONE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE.

AUTO SHOWED TOO MUCH OIL ON DIPSTICK READING AND OIL HAD STRONG SMELL OF GAS. DEALER ONLY DRAINED EXCESS OIL AND SAID LIGHTS WILL COME ON IF REAL ISSUE. I SUSPECTED FUEL IN OIL SO HAD OIL TESTED AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. TEST SHOWED OIL IN CRITICAL STATE WITH OVER 5% FUEL IN OIL. DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE. WORRIES INCLUDE ENGINE FIRE, PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR AND DAMAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT PROBLEM AND PRODUCE FIX. OIL ANALYSIS ATTACHED.

ALL SYSTEM SAFETY LIGHTS AND WARNINGS ARE SHOWING

COVER, ENGINE (LOWER) UNCLIPPED FROM THE FRONT AND BENT BACK DRAGGING UNDER MY CAR DRIVING 70MPH ON INTERSTATE. I WAS 1/3 OF THE WAY OF A 120 MILE TRIP. I PULLED OVER AFTER FEELING SOMETHING DRAGGING UNDER MY CAR. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE A BLOWN TIRE. AFTER PULLING OVER I COULD SEE THE SHEET METAL DETACHED FROM THE FRONT (REAR BOLTS STILL HOLDING). I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GOOD SAMARITAN STOP AND PULL THE BOLTS HOLDING THE PART TO MY CAR WHICH ENABLED ME TO CONTINUE ON MY TRIP. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT MUST HAVE BEEN RELATED TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE THREE MONTHS AGO. HONDA AMERICA HASN'T OPENED A CASE AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS. A PART OF A CAR SHOULDN'T FALL OFF. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND I AM UNSURE HOW I SAFELY CHANGED LANES AT SUCH A HIGH SPEED. I HAVEN'T REPLACED THE PART SINCE I DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN. I TRAVEL ON THIS INTERSTATE TRIP TWICE A WEEK FOR LAST THE 3 MONTHS. MY FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME CAR BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME JUST HAD THE PART DETACH FROM THE FRONT BUT IT DIDN'T PEEL BACK AND DRAG AS MINE DID. THIS OCCURRED ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. I WILL ENCOURAGE MY FRIEND TO REPORT HERE. I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER'S SAFETY. I EXPECT BETTER FROM HONDA ENGINEERS.

FOR THE THIRD TIME, SINCE BUYING THE CAR NEW, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. THIS TIME POWER STEERING WAS ALSO LOST WHICH COULD'VE CAUSED A CRASH. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE AGAIN. HONDA SELLS RODENT TAPE AND I'VE USED IT BUT CAN'T TELL WHERE THE RODENTS WILL EAT. I BELIVE THIS IS DUE TO THE SOY-BASED INSULATION AND OTHER PARTS IN THE CAR AS NONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EVER HAD THIS ISSUE AND I LIVE IN A RURAL ENVIRONMENT. VEHICLE WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN'WAS TEMPORARILY PARKED OUTSIDE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

GASOLINE DILLUTION OF ENGINE OIL

HONDA SENSING ACTIVATED AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES DURING REGULAR SUBURBAN DRIVING WITHOUT ANYTHING TO PROMPT IT. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR DOWN A LOCAL ROAD WITHOUT HAVING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SENT A WARNING AS IF SOMETHING WAS IMPEDING THE FRONT PATHWAY WHILE MOVING. THERE WERE NOT ANY CARS IN FRONT AND THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES CAUSING MY BELT TO LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY AND VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN DRAMATICALLY LEADING TO ME ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION: NEW HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 4,420 MILES. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. NO CARS OR TRUCKS WERE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND NO ROCKS OR DEBRIS WERE FOUND BY THE SERVICE REPAIR IN REMAINING SHATTERED GLASS. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN SO THE GLASS PARTICLES DID NOT FLY INTO THE PASSENGER AREA, BUT CARS BEHIND ME SLOWED AS SOME GLASS PARTICLES FLEW FROM THE ROOF. HONDA REPLACED THE SUNROOF UNDER WARRANTEE BUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS ARE DISORIENTING TO THE DRIVER AND NOT SAFE TO PASSENGERS OR OTHER CAR DRIVERS WHO CATCH THE FLYING GLASS PARTICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER (O'NEILL HONDA, 7979 METCALF AVENUE, OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS 66204) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 08822895 WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN WE SUDDENLY HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION. WE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HIT US. BY GOD'S GRACE, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR US. AFTER WE RECOVERED FROM THE SHOCK WE REALIZED THAT A LARGE NOISE WAS COMING FROM ABOVE. IN FACT, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. WHEN WE GOT OFF THE ROAD WE FOUND THAT 70% OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEAR US, AND CERTAINLY NOTHING ABOVE US.

IT WAS A RECORD HOT DAY, 100 DEGREES, AND MY CR-V WAS PARKED IN MY PAVED DRIVEWAY, IN THE SUN. I WAS WATERING MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (NOT WASHING MY CAR, OUR WELL WATER WOULD ONLY LEAVE WHITE SPOTS ON IT) AND WAVED THE HOSE OVER MY CAR AND "POP!"- THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES, BOTH ARE LARGE CRACKS, 10 AND 18 INCHES. THIS WAS DUE, I BELIEVE, TO THE COOL WATER ON THE HOT WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE CRACKS ARE SO PROMINENT AND I QUESTION THE WINDSHIELD'S INTEGRITY.

THE CHROME/PLASTIC SELECTOR PART THAT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED TO AND FROM PARK AND THE OTHER AUTOMATIC GEARS IS A KNOWN FLAWED HONDA DESIGN. THE SHIFT SELECTOR BUTTON FAILED YESTERDAY ON OUR 2017 CRV. DUE TO THE DESIGN BEING SPRING LOADED, THE BROKEN PART FLEW OUT OF THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND WAS LOST TEMPORARILY. LACKING THIS BROKEN PART AND BEING UNABLE TO REINSERT IT PROPERLY INTO THE SELECTOR, THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE MOVED INTO PARK AND THUS BY HONDA DESIGN CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. THIS IS BOTH A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS WELL KNOWN TO HONDA (THEY USED THE POOR DESIGN ON EARLIER ACCORD AND OTHER MODELS). WHEN SPEAKING WITH HONDA SERVICE AND PART DEPARTMENT AGENTS, THEY READILY ACKNOWLEDGE THE DESIGN FLAW, ARE DISAPPOINTED HONDA CONTINUED TO USE THE HAZARDOUS DESIGN (IT WAS A SAME PROBLEM IN EARLIER MODELS). HONDA'S RESPONSE SEEMS TO BE TO LET THE SELECTOR BUTTONS FAIL, KEEP A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF REPLACEMENTS ON HAND IN THEIR PARTS DEPARTMENTS AND LET THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABSORB THE RISKS. THIS PATTERN AND PRACTICE IS BOTH UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA NEEDS TO DESIGN A MORE ROBUST SELECTOR BUTTON AND REPLACE ALL CURRENT ONES VIA A RECALL.

HONDA CRV BRAKING SYSTEM FAILUREJUNE 2018 MODEL: CR-V YEAR: 2017 MILEAGE: 5,900 VIN: [XXX] ON JUNE 23RD, 2018, WHILE EXITING A FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED NORMAL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT NO BRAKING OCCURRED. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I THEN USED GREATLY INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT WITH NO DISCERNIBLE EFFECT. AFTER ABOUT EIGHT SECONDS OF CONTINUED EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE, A YELLOW "BRAKING SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY A RED "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE APPEARANCE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD, COMING FROM THE WHEELS, ACCOMPANIED BY A VIBRATION WHICH I INTERPRETED AS MODULATED BRAKING THAT COULD BE FELT THROUGH MECHANICAL FEEDBACK IN THE PEDAL. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP JUST IN TIME, BEHIND TRAFFIC THAT HAD BEEN WAITING AT A SIGNAL LIGHT. TEN SECONDS AFTER STANDING AT THE LIGHT, ALL WARNING LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED, AND THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY THEREAFTER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM, HAD RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AN IDENTICAL CASE OF BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE, BUT THAT HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE FAULT OR ENACT REPAIRS. HE DECLINED TO EXAMINE MY VEHICLE ON THAT BASIS. SINCE THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER PROVIDED NO RESOLUTION, I UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN MY

COMPLETE VEHICLE SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGES. VEHICLE STABILITY, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, BRAKE HOLD, POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM. EVERY ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS IS DISPLAYING A 'PROBLEM' MESSAGE AS WELL AS BRAKE LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON STEERING WHEEL LIGHT IS ON VEHICLE STABILITY LIGHT IS ON BATTERY LIGHT IS ON AND OIL LAMP IS ON. THIS IS ABOUT THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DISPLAY ALL THESE ERROR MESSAGES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES THE ERROR MESSAGES WILL POP UP AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE CAR ON OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY STRAIGHT AWAY OR TURNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A SUDDEN LOUD BOOMING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (RICK CASE HONDA, 15700 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

REMOVED DIPSTICK AND SMELLED GAS IN OIL. OIL WAS ALSO SO THIN I COULD NOT TAKE A READING. SAW ON VARIOUS WEBSITES OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING SIMILAR. CHECKED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 15 MINUTES.

FUEL IN OIL DILUTION EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN OIL CAUSING OVER FILL AND ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY BREAKDOWN.

I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF TO GO INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT I FOUND THAT MY CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER CAR. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER CAR, AS I ASSUME IT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW SPEED. WHEN I RENETERED THE VEHICLE IT WAS STILL IN THE DRIVE GEAR, WHICH WAS MY ERROR. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND LOCKED WHILE NOT EVEN IN PARK OR EVEN NEUTRAL. MOREOVER THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR, WHICH I WOULD PRESUME WOULD MEAN IT WOULD GO FORWARD, BUT IT WAS STILL ABLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS TO INFORM THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM FOR FUTURE MODELS. I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION UNLESS THE CAR WAS IN PARK. HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO IMPLEMENT THIS AS WELL AS I CANNOT THINK OF ANY REASON TO KEEP YOUR CAR IN DRIVE WHILE THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY OFF.

OUR 2017 HONDA CRV EXL HAS A CLIMATE CONTROL ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES GET BELOW FREEZING AND THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURE LOWERS. THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL NOT WARM UP AND OF COURSE THE CLIMATE CONTROL WILL NOT WARM UP THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET ANY HEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE IS BY CIRCULATING INSIDE AIR BUT WHEN YOU DO THAT,THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO USE A RAG TO KEEP FOG OFF WINDOWS. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERES A PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DRIVING IS TOWN DRIVING AND WINDOWS FOGGING OVER IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WHEN CIRCULATING INSIDE AIR.

AS I OPENED MY DRIVER'S DOOR OF VEHICLE, WHICH WAS BACKED IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE YESTERDAY, IT STARTED TO RAIN AND MY REAR HATCH-BACK WINDOW EXPLODED.THE ENTIRE WINDOW WAS BLOWN OUT.

DURING MORNING COMMUTE 0655 HOURS DURING HEAVY DOWNPOUR ALL INSTRUMENT DASH LIGHTS STOPPED ILLUMINATION, I TURNED OFF DEFROSTER, RADIO AND WIPERS. I PULLED OFF EXPRESSWAY CAREFULLY AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS RE ILLUMINATED. AT WORK I NOTIFIED HONDA DEALER OF INCIDENT. A SERVICE APPT. WAS MADE. SAFETY HAZARD

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - BUTTON ON GEAR SHIFT BROKE AND SINCE IT HAS A SPRING - THE BUTTON CAN COME OUT OF THE GEAR SHIFT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE GEAR SHIFT CAN NO LONGER BE USED UNTIL THE BUTTON IS FOUND ARE REINSERTED. THIS COULD RESULT IN NUMEROUS DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK RELEASE BUTTON BROKE (HONDA PART NO. 54132-TLA-A62ZB) THEREBY MAKING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INOPERABLE INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK POSITION. ALL I DID WAS TO TRY TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND, WHEN I DEPRESSED THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE STALK, IT FELL ABART. I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT.

THE REAR CENTER PASSENGER'S LEFT SEAT BELT BUCKLE ANCHOR IS REVERSED MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PROPERLY BUCKLE 3 PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY CENTER PASSENGERS, FINDING IT A HERCULEAN FEAT WHEN SEATED, OFTEN DECLINE TO BUCKLE UP. I'VE INCLUDED TWO PHOTOS OF THIS BUCKLE SHOWING THIS CONDITION. AS SEEN WHEN BUCKLED W/O A PASSENGER, THE BELTS OVERLAP. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CENTER PASSENGER'S BODY PREVENTS ACCESS TO THE BUCKLE AS IT IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE STRAP OF THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA DESIGNED IT THIS WAY TO PROVIDE WIDER SEATING FOR THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER. HOWEVER, THIS DESIGN IS DANGEROUS AND IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FATALITIES. ALSO I'M TOLD THAT THE HONDA ACCURA'S DESIGN IS CORRECT.

THE APPLE CARPLAY WILL DISENGAGE ENROUTE. ALSO, WILL NOT RESYNC AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN. HONDA SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF IT, BUT NO FIX. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IF PERSON TRY'S TO UNHOOK AND REBOOK CARPLAY WHILE DRIVING.
