2017 Honda CR-V complaints

BRAND NEW 2017 CR-V TOURING, SECOND NIGHT HOME. BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAD TO CHARGE BATTERY TO START. TOOK TO DEALER, WHO DID A BATTERY TEST AND FOUND NO ISSUE. THERE IS A HONDA TSB CAMPAIGN, BUT HONDA TELLS ME MY VIN IS OUT OF RANGE AND IS NOT COVERED -- EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL. THEY WILL NOT OFFER SERVICE UNTIL THE VIN IS WITHIN RANGE. REFERENCE HONDA TSB-032 "PARASITIC BATTERY DRAW FROM VSA MODULATOR" HONDA AMERICA SUPPORT SUGGESTED I REPORT THIS TO NHTSA, FOR SOME REASON. STATED THAT IF THEY RECEIVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR A VIN RANGE IT COULD BE EXPANDED. (THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME SINCE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM.)

FAULTY HONDA SENSING WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 35MPH WHEN CRV SLAMMED ON IT'S ON BRAKES BY ITSELF FOR THE 2ND TIME THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND US, HIGH BEAMS COME ON WHEN CLOSE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC BLINDING ON COMING TRAFFIC, BLIND SPOT INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN NO ONE AROUND, BLIND SPOT INDICATOR DOESN'T COME ON, WHEN CARS IN BLIND SPOT,DIDN'T SEE CAR IN MY BLIND SPOT AND CUT CAR OFF BECAUSE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR WASN'T WORKING. BURNING WIRE SMELL INSIDE CAB. MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE APPROX JAN 2017 LESS THAN 1 MONTH OF OWNING CAR. I CAN'T LIST JUST 1 DAY ITS HAPPENED BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER AND OVER. CRV HAS BEEN IN SHOP 5-6 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH NO LUCK OF FIXING THEM.

DRIVER SIDE CUSHION ON UPPER SEAT HAS COLLAPSED. THIS AFFECTS THE OPERATION OF THE SIDE AIR BAG. THE COLLAPSED SUPPORT ALSO MAKES DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE AND POTENTIALLY A DRIVER SAFETY RISK AS WELL.

WAS NOTIFIED BY NEIGHBOR THAT MY PASSENGER WINDOW BEHIND DRIVER SIDE WAS BROKEN. CONTACTED POLICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A ROCK ON THE ROAD THAT FLUNG AND HIT THE WINDOW AND SHATTERED IT. NO SCRATCHES ON THE CAR, NO ITEMS WERE STOLEN. DID NOT FIND ANY ROCKS OR STONES IN THE CAR WHERE IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE VANDALISM. SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS MAYBE A WINDOW DEFECT SIMILAR TO THE OTHER POST REGARDING HIS SUN-ROOF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAD STARTED TO DETERIORATE FROM THE LEFT CUSHION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHECKERED FLAG HONDA DEALER, WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 08/31/17 *BF *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (ROBERTSON HONDA 5841 LANKERSHIM BLVD, NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA 91601), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,200.

THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ('AIR BAG OFF') DOES NOT OPERATE CONSISTENTLY. A 112 POUND PASSENGER REGULARLY RIDES IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THIS VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS PASSENGER IS PRESENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ('AIRBAG OFF') ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ILLUMINATED DURING TRAVEL. AT OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL DURING TRIPS WHEN THE PASSENGER IS PRESENT. THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS MORE LIKELY TO REMAIN ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED BEFORE THE PASSENGER ENTERS THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED FOR 4 MONTHS.

BOUGHT A 2017 HONDA CRV THIS MARCH. DROVE FINE FOR 3 MONTHS & 3K MILES. ON 6/7/17 THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT MY WORK PLACE. IT WAS A HOT 92 DEGREE DAY. A COWORKER DROVE BY & HEARD A LOUD POP & SHE NOTICE MY DAMAGED WINDOW & CANE TO NOTIFY ME ASAP. THE GLASS CLEARLY EXPLODED BECAUSE ALL INDICATIONS OF THE BULGING OF GLASS HAS PUFFED OUTWARD FROM MY CAR. THERE'S A HUGE 1 FOOT WIDE HOLE IN THE CENTER LEFT, IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN A CHICK IS HATCHING FROM ITS EGG. THERE'S ONLY 2 CHUNKS OF GLASS BROKEN FROM THE HOLE, ONE INTO CAR, THE OTHER RESTED OUTSIDE THE HOLE ON THE WIPER. IF ANYTHING HITS IT, THE GLASS WOULD OF SHATTERED IN THE CENTER & THE WOULD SHOWS WHITE BIG STRESS-MARKS EXPANDING FROM THE HOLE. YET NONE. MY WHOLE WINDOW SHATTERED STARTING FROM BOTH ENDS OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD, DISCONNECTING THE WHOLE GLASS FROM THE CAR. I WORK AS A QA MEMBER & WE SUPPLY PARTS FOR HONDA. I MEASURE MANY OF THE PARTS WE SUPPLIED. SO I'M NOT STUPID TO MENTION TO HONDA MY GLASS EXPLODED. I DID MY RESEARCH & CAME ACROSS MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS, EVEN SOME WERE REPORTED HERE IN THIS FORUM. I TOOK GREAT PIC & VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT & SHOWED BOTH MY DEALERSHIP & HONDA CORPORATE & EXPRESSED GREATLY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. PERHAPS A BAD DEFECT LIKE A BAD DEFROSTING UNIT WHERE IT FAILS TO SHUT OFF AFTER ENGINE SHUTS OFF OR BASICALLY DEFECT WITHIN THE GLASS DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS WITH NICKEL SULFIDE IN GLASS. HONDA DOES NOT COVER GLASS UNDER THEIR WARRANTIES SO AS

THE REAR LEFT AND MIDDLE SEAT BELTS OVERLAP. THE VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED AS A 5 SEATER VEHICLE BUT CANNOT SAFELY BE USED FOR 5 PASSENGERS, OR WITH A CAR SEAT IN EITHER OF THOSE SEATS WITH A PASSENGER IN THE OTHER ONE.

FREQUENT NOXIOUS GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IDLE, OR STARTING, THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN. THIS ISSUE BEGAN A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (FEBRUARY 3) AND HAS HAPPENED MOST RECENTLY ON MAY 28. THE INCIDENT ON MAY 28 WAS SO TOXIC THAT I DEVELOPED A HEADACHE AND HAD TO OPEN ALL WINDOWS TO TRY TO RELIEVE THE ISSUE.

WHERE LEFT REAR PASSENGER ATTACHES SEAT BELT & WHERE CENTER REAR PASSENGER ATTACHES SEATBELT FROM HEADLINER, THE FASTENERS IN THE SEAT ARE SWITCHED. IF CENTER PASSENGER BUCKLES UP FIRST OR IF CARSEAT IS IN CENTER POSITION IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR LEFT REAR PASSENGER TO BUCKLE UP OR UNBUCKLE. THIS IS DUE TO THE ATTACHMENT POINTS BEING SWITCHED WHEN DESIGNED & OR MANUFACTURED. HONDA DEALER SAYS THE CONNECTIONS ARE IN PROPER LOCATION & BELT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE ONE OF FIVE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE TO NOT BE ABLE TO BUCKLE UP OR UNBUCKLE IN AN EMERGENCY

I DROVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR COMPUTER GOT STUCK AND THEN STARTED AGAIN GIVING DIFFERENT ERRORS. DEACTIVATED BRAKE SYSTEM, FRAME MISSING GASOLINE, FRAME ROAD STABILIZATION SYSTEM DEACTIVATED AND FINALLY SPEED CONTROL FRAME SPEED A FAULT.

CAR PARKED AT STORE. PLACED 6 YR OLD CHILD INTO CAR TO UNLOAD CART WITHOUT FEAR OF PARKING LOT DRIVERS. TRUNK OPEN AT THAT POINT. CHILD ASKED FOR A/C (94F OUTSIDE - HOTTER IN CAR). WITH THE REMOTE, I PERFORMED "REMOTE START" SEQUENCE. THIS DID NOT WORK WITH TRUNK OPEN. I CLOSED TRUNK, PERFORMED START SEQUENCE, RE-OPENED TRUNK TO LOAD GROCERIES. AFTER DONE, I CLOSED TRUNK, MOVED CART TO FRONT OF CAR. MEANWHILE, INSIDE CAR, MY CHILD HIT THE START BUTTON. THIS PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO AUXILIARY POWER MODE (THINK RADIO ON WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING). HAZARD TO LIFE: ONCE CAR IS IN AUXILIARY MODE, IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, THE CAR CANNOT BE OPENED IN ANY WAY FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE KEY REMOTE WILL NOT WORK OPEN CAR (CAR WILL BEEP ONLY ONCE EACH TIME). TOUCHING HANDLE TO UNLOCK DOES NOT WORK (AGAIN ONE BEEP). THE TRUNK CANNOT BE OPENED WITH REMOTE, WITH THE HANDS-FREE FEATURE, OR WITH THE NORMAL "OPEN BUTTONS" ON TRUNK. CHILD WAS LOCKED IN A HOT CAR WITH NO WAY TO GET TO HER!! CHILD COULD NOT OPEN WINDOWS BY HERSELF (DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULDN'T WORK DUE TO AUXILIARY MODE OR IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW). ULTIMATELY I WAS ABLE TO TALK HER THROUGH MANUALLY UNLOCKING DOOR, BUT IF SHE WAS EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR DID NOT HAVE THE INTELLECT, THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY BAD ENDING. I HAVE THE TOP OF THE LINE MODEL, WITH ALL THE OPTIONAL SAFETY FEATURES (MIRRORS, SENSORS, EVERYTHING), YET SOMETHING LIKE THIS STILL HAPPENED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FAIL SAFE! HOW MANY CHILDREN COULD CLIMB INTO THE C

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING WHEN DRIVING OVER METAL PLATES: DURING CONSTRUCTION, METAL PLATES WERE PUT ON THE ROAD WHERE I WORK. THEY DO NOT STICK OUT, AREA FLUSH WITH THE STREET, AND ARE ABOUT 4 FEET WIDE. EVERY TIME I GET CLOSE TO DRIVE STRAIGHT OVER THEM (AT PROBABLY 20-25 MPH), MY CAR SLAMS ONTO THE BRAKES AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF ANYBODY WERE BEHIND ME, THEY WOULD REAR-END ME. A COLLEAGUE OF MINE BOUGHT THE SAME CAR AND HAS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR CHECKED OUT AT A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY. THE SYSTEM CANNOT BE TURNED OFF PERMANENTLY, SO I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF MANUALLY EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS SOMEBODY WILL GET HURT SOON IF SOMEBODY IS BEHIND ME AND THERE IS NO REASON I WOULD COME TO SUCH AN ABRUPT STOP.

REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT ATTACHMENT POINTS SAFETY HAZARD FOR LEFT REAR PASSENGER: THE CONNECTION POINTS FOR THE CENTER REAR PASSENGER AND LEFT REAR PASSENGER CROSS CAUSING THE LEFT PASSENGER TO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE RELEASE BUTTON OR ABILITY TO PROPERLY CONNECT THEIR SEAT BELT IF THE CENTER PASSENGER SECURES THEIR SEAT BELT FIRST. SHOULD THE LEFT PASSENGER WANT TO DISCONNECT THEIR SEAT BELT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT UNLESS THE CENTER PASSENGER DISCONNECTS THEIR SEAT BELT FIRST. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE LINE AT 1-800-999-1009 AND WAS INFORMED NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE, BUT THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, FUEL GAUGE, GEAR SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR, TACHOMETER, ODOMETER, AND LIGHTING FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 05988063. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 06/07/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 10/11/2017*JS

WHEN USING THE NAVIGATION THE NAVIGATION VOICE VOLUME IS TOO LOW. CAUSING YOU TO BRAKE WHEN MISSING A TURN. I ALMOST HAD SOMEONE RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR!

REAR PASSENGER SEAT BEHIND DRIVER AND MIDDLE PASSENGER SEAT BELT FASTENERS ARE FLIPPED. NO ONE CAN SIT BEHIND THE DRIVER AND USE A SEAT BELT.

THE VEHICLE IS PROVIDED WITH A BLUETOOTH CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE SAFE HANDS FREE USE OF A CELL PHONE. HOWEVER, WITHIN A MINUTE OF INITIATION OF THE BLUETOOTH WITH A STANDARD ANDROID PHONE (SAMSUNG) THE SYSTEM SELF DISCONNECTS THERE-BY RENDERING THE HANDS FREE CAPABILITY NON OPERATIONAL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER MOVING OR STATIONARY. BOTH THE DEALER AND HONDA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CHECKING ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS EXACT UNSAFE CONDITION HAS BEEN KNOW TO HONDA FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS. THIS ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAULT IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE AS FAULTY BRAKES, ETC.

WHILE DRIVING @ 35 MPH ON THE PARKWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE ROOF AREA OF THE CAR. I THEN OPEN TO SUNROOF SCREEN TO FIND THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED BUT DID NOT SEE ANY TREE BRANCH IN SITE. THE ROOF HAVE NO DENT OR SCRATCH ON IT WITH WAS WEIRD. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT IT COULD BE "EXPLODING SUNROOF" ISSUE.

WEATHER TECK DRIVER FLOOR MAT. WHEN PASSING DOES NOT ALLOW ACELL. PEDAL TO FULLY BOTTOM. THUS FULL POWER IS NOT AVAILABLE. BUMP IN MAT STOPS FULL ACELL. PEDAL TRAVEL.

MY MOTHER AND I TRAVELED TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER THAT LIVES 3 1/2 HOURS AWAY. MY MOTHER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR THE 7 HOUR TRIP UP AND BACK. THE AMBER OR YELLOW LIGHT ON THE DASH "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" WAS LIGHTED THE ENTIRE TIME THAT MY MOTHER WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ADMITTED SHE ONLY WEIGHS 100 LBS AND IS 86 YEARS OLD, BUT SHE IS CLEARLY AN ADULT AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY AN AIRBAG DEPLOYING IN CASE OF A SERIOUS CRASH. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING IN A CRASH COULD LITERALLY MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR DOES NOT TURN OFF, THEREFORE THE AIRBAG DOES NOT ACTIVATE, WHEN A PERSON WEIGHING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE (100LBS) THAN THE STATED THRESHOLD OF 65LBS AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE PASSENGER IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG. HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THE WEIGHT SENSOR IS CORRECTLY CALIBRATED AND WORKING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO HONDA. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS TOLERANCE OF MORE THAN 35LBS IS WAY TOO HIGH AND THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO ACTIVATE MUCH CLOSER TO THE STATED THRESHOLD OF 65LBS.

MY BRAND NEW 2017 CRV TOURING APPEARS TO HAVE THE DETACHABLE ANCHOR FOR THE 2ND ROW CENTER SEAT BELT CROSSED WITH THE 2ND ROW LEFT SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THIS CONFIGURATION CAUSES THE CENTER BELT AND THE LEFT SEAT BELT TO CROSS ONE ANOTHER AND ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THE LEFT SEAT PASSENGER TO CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THEIR SEAT BELT WITH THE CENTER PASSENGER BUCKLED IN. THIS CONFIGURATION DOES NOT ALLOW THE PERSON SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER TO WEAR THEIR SEAT BELT WHEN MY CHILD'S INFANT SEAT IS BUCKLED INTO THE CENTER AS THE BUCKLE CANNOT BE ACCESSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER, SON, AND SON'S FRIEND IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHICH CAN BE GOOGLED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MESSAGE SAID EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE HEADLIGHTS GOT HIGH AND THEN LOW AND THEN HIGH AND THEN LOW. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT RODENTS CHEWED THE ENGINE MAIN WIRING HARNESS AND WOULD COST $1,000 TO REPLACE. IF THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE ENGINE IS NOT PROTECTED THAT COULD EASILY START A FIRE AFTER IT HAS BEEN CHEWED BY RODENTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HARNESS IS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST RODENTS. I LIVE IN A CONDO WITH A PRIVATE PARKING SPOT. I HAVE BEEN HERE 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THE CAR A MONTH AGO. IT IS POSSIBLE IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT NO WAY OF KNOWING. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE WIRING HARNESS COVERED WITH A PROTECTION OF SOME SORT. I AM RETIRED SO I HARDLY USE THE CAR. IT IS PARKED MOST OF THE TIME IN MY PARKING SPOT.

TEST DROVE THE CAR AND DIDN'T SMELL DUE TO USING A/C. ON DAY OF PURCHASE, I CHANGED THE AIR TO RECIRCULATE IN CABIN. THAT IS WHEN THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS WITH RECIRCULATING AIR ON. IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I DID NOT NOTICE THE SMELL AND ASSUMED IT WAS THE "BRAND NEW" CAR SMELL BUT LATER AFTER GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SMELL BECAME VERY NOTICEABLE AND CAUSED ME TO FEEL DIZZY AND ALMOST VOMIT. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE CAR TO SEE WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM AND NOTICED THE SMELL WAS MAINLY IN THE SECOND ROW PASSENGER AREA, WHERE MY 3 MONTH OLD CHILD AND WIFE WERE SITTING! I OPENED ALL THE DOORS AND FOR SOME REASON CHANGED AIR VENT FROM RECIRCULATING TO FRESH AIR MODE. WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND CALLED SALESMAN BUT HE COULD NOT HELP ME WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELLING ME TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT MORNING. I HAD WORK IN THE MORNING SO I DECIDED TO JUST BEAR WITH IT AND OPEN THE WINDOWS IF THE SMELL BECAME TOO UNBEARABLE. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, THE SMELL STARTED TO SLOWLY FADE AWAY. I HAVE YET TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND WILL SEE IF THE GAS SMELL COMES BACK WITH THE RECIRCULATING MODE ON. ALSO, THE SMELL WAS NOT NOTICEABLE WITH ENGINE OFF, SINCE THE AIR VENTS WERE ALSO OFF.

DRIVING MY 2017 CRV EX HOME FROM WORK. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE". THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT WAS FROZEN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN 'PARK', AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED THE VEHICLE. THE SALES REP SUGGESTED I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT. I DID THAT AND ALL SYSTEMS SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I LATER TOOK MY CRV BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK BUT FOUND NO DEFINITIVE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD ONLY SAY THE COMPUTER INDICATED SOMETHING HAD OCCURRED BUT COULD SAY WHAT, OR WHY, OR WHETHER IT MIGHT OCCUR AGAIN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OK, AND "HAVE A NICE DAY!" NOW I AM ANXIOUS WHEN I DRIVE WONDERING IF, OR WHEN, THE BRAKE SYSTEM MIGHT FAIL AGAIN. IS IT JUST MY CRV, OR HAS THIS ISSUE BEEN REPORTED BY ANYONE ELSE? THIS ISSUE, SHOULD IT OCCUR AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS CRASH SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECORDED THE ABNORMAL NOISE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER AUTHORIZED THAT THE FUEL TANK BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE NOISE RECURRED DAYS LATER. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN UNABLE TO RECEIVE A SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER AND WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8.

RODENTS KEEP CHEWING THROUGH AIR HOSES FOR THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A WEEK DESPITE TRAPS, RODENT DETERRENT, ETC.
