2018 Honda CR-V complaints

VEHICLE DASHBOARD GAVE MULTIPLE WARNINGS WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY; THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONED AT THIS TIME. TOOK TO NEARBY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO NARROWED MALFUNCTION TO ECM. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED VSA MODULATOR. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START; ENGINE STARTS BUT SHUTS BACK OFF IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER; BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED.

2018 CR-V (~38,200 MILES) UNEXPECTEDLY HALTED (LOSS OF POWER - ENGINE KEPT RUNNING) GOING ~35 MPH ON LAKEVILLE HWY/116 IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND SHOWED ENGINE/EMISSIONS CHECK LIGHT AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSTIC CODES P061B ECM/PCM INTERNAL MALFUNCTION (TORGUE CALCULATION), C1870-00, U0401-68, U3003-S6 WERE SEEN. PER AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS (AHM), DEALER WAS TO CLEAR CODES AND TRY AND REPLICATE MALFUNCTION WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO HAVING DRIVEN IT 60 MILES. AHM WOULD NOT REPLACE ECM/PCM AS DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. I HAD SAFETY CONCERN SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT DEALER PAID $~441 TO HAVE ECM/PCM REPLACED. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH CODES SHOULD MANDATE CAR COMPANY TO ENSURE SAFETY OF OWNER WITH PAID REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PART. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, NOT REPLACED THE PART AND SUBSEQUENTLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.

THIS THE THIRD INCIDENT, WHERE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR LOST POWER, STALLED, SHUT DOWN, AND ALL THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE WENT OFF. THE VACAVILLE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON THE SECOND TIME REFUSE TO DOCUMENT MY ISSUE OR LOOK AT THE BATTERY WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR A SERVICE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I FEEL REALLY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND VACAVILLE HONDA HAS A HISTORY OF NOT DOCUMENTING MY CONCERNS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN WHERE I TURNED RIGHT AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON AND ALL THE SENSORS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR ROLLING BY GOING DOWN HILL GOING ABOUT 2 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 16 MPH. THERE WAS NOT WAY I WAS GOING AT THAT SPEED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED LOCALLY TO ANOTHER HONDA WHERE I LIVED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY ALL THE SENSORS WENT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 58 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY MADE AN ABRUPT STOP WHILE SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU, THE VEHICLE STARTED BUZZING AND THE DISPLAY SCREEN BLACKED OUT AND STARTED BUFFERING. AFTER LEAVING THE DRIVE THRU, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE DEFECTS RELATED TO THE MESSAGES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JIM COLEMAN HONDA (12441 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT EXPLANATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,760. *LN CONSUMER SAYS THAT ON 08/22/2020 VEHICLE BRAKED ON ITS ON WHILE EXITING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH. AFTER THE CAR BRAKED ON ITS OWN, THE CAR STARTED TO WOBBLE AS THOUGH THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT TO UNBUCKLE, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. CONSUMER EXPERIENCED WHIPLASH FROM THE SUDDEN BRAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHER SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UMANSKY HONDA (960 HILTON HEIGHTS RD, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22901, (888) 686-9143) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, THE OIL PAN WAS REPLACED AND RESEALED, AND THE BELL HOUSING WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR WAS THE MANUFACTURER MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY CR-V WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR BY A SUPER DUTY LARGE TRUCK TRAVELING APPROX 55-60MPH. THE FRONT SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYED SAVING MY DAUGHTER. THE IMPACT PUSHED OUR CR-V ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO A METAL POWER POLE SUSTAINING A MORE SIGNIFICANT, SECONDARY IMPACT. NEITHER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED LEAVING MYSELF WITH MULTIPLE SEVERE INJURIES REQUIRING SURGERY AND A WEEK HOSPITALIZATION THERAFTER.

I HAD JUST TURNED ON HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO SPEED - AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE AUTO BRAKING ENGAGED FAIRLY SHARPLY AND SOMETHING FLASHED ON DASH AND BEEPED (TOO FAST FOR ME TO READ) AND THEN IT STOPPED. ACC & LKAS WERE ON BUT NOT ENGAGED AT THE TIME. SUNNY DAY AND NO VEHICLES AROUND ANYWHERE

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE WITH HALF A TANK OF GAS ON SUNDAY. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT TO START MY CAR TO NO AVAIL. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE. THIS WORKED, HOWEVER MY GAS WAS NOW ON EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN LOCKED, NO LIGHTS ON IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS. I HAVE ONLY USED IT FOR SHORT DRIVES SINCE MARCH DUE TO COVID-19.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2018. ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO, THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED BY THE CAR DEALER. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE RETURN HOSE. THE CAR STAY AT DEALER FOR 7 DAYS IN ORDER TO GET THE NEW PART IN. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR AS IT WAS TOO HOT TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE I BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE CAR.

THE SAFETY SYSTEM (HONDA SENSING) THAT DETECTS A CAR OR PEDESTRIAN IN YOUR PATH AND ENGAGES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING MECHANISM WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THERE IS NO OBJECT ANY WHERE NEAR THE CAR. IF THIS ENGAGES THAT COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A COLLISION. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 6 TIMES AND 2 OF THOSE 6 TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND AND BRAKING OCCURRED. THE OTHER 4 TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE INDICATOR CAME ON WHICH WAS DISTRACTING.

TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 65 MPH. NO VEHICLES WERE CLOSE TO ME. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A BOOM. I COULD TELL MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED. GLASS WENT ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY THE INSIDE ROOF WAS CLOSED.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT ANY REASON, BRAKED TO A VIRTUAL STOP, AS THOUGH THERE WERE A VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY ON A ROAD GOING ABOUT 40MPH. HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO CARS ANYWHERE NEAR MY VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, MY CAR WILL ALSO UNEXPECTEDLY BEEP AND SIGNAL TO ME THAT I MUST BRAKE, AGAIN, WITHOUT A CAR BEING IN FRONT OF ME, AGAIN, WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. THE HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINTS, WHICH I SEE AS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING, PARTICULARLY IF THE CAR BRAKES ON A FAST MOVING INTERSTATE, AND THEY ARE "UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY SENSOR ISSUES." THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY IS PATENTLY UNTRUE AND THE OCCURANCES REGARDING THE SENSOR "BRAKE" MESSAGING IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 80 IN NEW JERSEY AT 70 MPH. NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THE CAR APPLIED AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM. CAR CAME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP CAUSING ME NECK AND BACK PAIN. THERE WAS NO WARNING THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASONI WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL. DEALER FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. IT WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY.

OCCASIONALLY, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN ENGINE OIL IS CHANGED, IT EMITS A STRONG GAS SMELL. I TOOK IT TO CRISWELL HONDA IN GERMANTOWN, MD, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL.

ON MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2020, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM TARGET IN COLLEGE POINT. I WAS DRIVING ON 20TH AVENUE, A TWO-WAY LOCAL STREET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BRAKED. THE WHITE VAN BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. STEPPED ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE, THE ENGINE JUST REVVED A LITTLE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED FORWARD A LITTLE, AND THEN BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. I MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN AND PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS STUCK IN THE WHEELS, OR UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKES, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, THAT THEY WERE FINE. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN 9 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 8 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE HAVING BRAKING PROBLEMS EVERY 8-9 MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE.

ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2019, I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION GOING 25 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. WE COLLIDED WITH A CAR COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THAT WAS TURNING LEFT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. WE ENDED UP DRIVING OVER A SIDEWALK, INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN I TURNED IT OFF.

SAFETY BREAKING FEATURE HAS STOPPED MY CAR 3 TIMES WHEN THERE WAS NO HAZARD IN FRONT OF THE CAR. RESULTED IN NEAR COLLISIONS WITH CARS BEHIND ME DUE TO UNEXPECTED AND ABRUPT STOP OF THE CAR. HAD HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROADS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREETS

THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER GOES BLANK OR STARTS TO CHANGE SCREENS ON ITS OWN. ALSO, IT STARTS TO BEEP AS IT IS DOING THIS AND WON'T STOP. IN ADDITION, THE SYSTEM HAS MADE PHONE CALLS ON ITS OWN. HONDA SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT AS OF JULY 6, 2020, THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN RESTART THE CAR TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM. AS OF THIS WRITING, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND WILL NOT STOP EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM IN 2019 AND 2020 TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL STREET AROUND 40 MPH WITH NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME FOR 6+ CAR LENGTHS, A CAR BEHIND ME, AND CARS NEXT TO ME, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM TAPPED MY BREAKS AND ISSUED WARNINGS ON THE DRIVER'S DISPLAY.

A BUNCH OF SENSORS INCLUDING THE RADAR, LANE DEPARTURE, COLLISION DETECTION WAS STOLEN FROM MY 2018 HONDA CRV WITHOUT THE CENTRAL ALARM GETTING TRIGGERED. THE BLACK BOX BELOW THE HONDA LOGO WAS BROKEN, AND THE SENSOR/CONNECTORS WERE PULLED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKING IN MY DRIVEWAY. BRIDGEWATER NJ POLICE COMPLAIN NO: #[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE THE KEY FOB WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WOULD ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELVES. ONE TIME I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR WITH HONDA SERVICE ON THE PHONE AS PROOF BECAUSE EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WOULD GO DOWN. THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE WITNESS DENIED IT. EVENTUALLY THE BCM WAS REPLACED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. TODAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, IT APPEARED THAT THE SOFTWARE RESET ITSELF. THE ODOMETER SCREEN SAID IT WAS 1 AM WHEN IT WAS 8:52 AM. IT TOOK SEVERAL RESTARTS FOR THAT SCREEN TO RESET. HOWEVER, THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WOULD NOT RESET. IT STATES "ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM - THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE TO SYSTEM." THEN IT KEPT GOING DARK. I TRIED WITH THE CAR POWER BUTTON AND THE RADIO POWER BUTTON. NEITHER RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I RESTARTED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO RESTART HOURS LATER BY HOLDING DOWN THE RADIO POWER BUTTON. I AM LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC DATE ON THIS FORM, BUT THE WINDOWS/SUNROOF PROBLEMS BEGAN AROUND APRIL/MAY 2020 AND THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN ISSUE IN JUNE 2020. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MAY/JUNE OF 2019. *TR

I WAS RIDING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, NOT ANOTHER CAR, ANIMAL OR STOPLIGHT IN SIGHT AND THE AUTOMATED BRAKING SYSTEM SLAMMED ON BRAKES SO HARD IT BROUGHT ME TO A STOP - IF I HAD NOT HAD A SEATBELT ON IT WOULD HAVE THROWN ME INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN KILLED. NOTHING WAS IN SIGHT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH BUT WHEN I GOOGLE IT I FIND THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEADLY PROBLEM, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HWY? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY BOULEVARD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WENT BLANK. SECONDS LATER, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED: "ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM." I ASSUMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIRECTING ME TO HOLD THE RADIO POWER BUTTON, SO I DID AND HELD IT FOR TWO SECONDS, BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN PULLED OVER WHEN SAFE, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED FOR 1 MINUTE AND THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS BACK ON TO NORMAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 10, 2020 AND THIS IS A 2018 MODEL. THE BATTERY THAT INITIALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE DIED ON FEBRUARY, 2020 AFTER REQUIRING A JUMP START. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND APPROACHED A GREEN LIGHT. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WERE NO CARS TRAVELING IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A CAR SITTING IN THE TURNING LANE FACING ME WAITING TO TURN. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM WENT OFF IN THE CRV AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD FOR NO REASON. THE CRV ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THROWING ME FORWARD. I QUICKLY EVALUATED THE SITUATION. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME EXCEPT THE CAR FACING ME IN THE TURNING LANE. I AM AFRAID THE CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN FOR NO REASON TO ME OR MY PARTNER. NO DAMAGE OCCURED.05 *TR

I HAVE A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE FRONT END AND STEERING IS NOISY, CLICKS, KNOCKS BANGS WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL. WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, AROUND CURVES THE STEERING AND FRONT END JERKS. IT IS HARD TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED WHEN IT FIRST STARTED DOING THIS AND THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD STEERING BOX/RACK. BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS OUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE FOR ME TO PAY AROUND $3000. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER 2018 MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 16 MILES ON IT; I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT LEAKED OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER MY GARAGE AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD A SIGNIFICANT OIL AND TRANSMISSION LEAK. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO BE REPAIRED. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE IT DUMPED ALL THE OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND THEY HAD TO FIX IT FOR A SECOND TIME. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T ANY OIL LEFT IN MY ENGINE AND THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE.THEY SAID THIS NEVER HAPPENS, BUT IT DID TWICE. MY 36,000-MILE WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP, AND I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. LAST TIME IT LEAKED, IT TOOK THEM THREE MONTHS TO FIX IT. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY WHEN I BOUGHT MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER. IT'S A SHAME I BOUGHT A LEMON, AND I'M PAYING MONTHLY FOR IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE MY CAR START LIGHT ALWAYS BLINKS ON AND OFF ALSO, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO, MY TOUCHSCREEN HAS FROZEN AND LET THE RADIO ON FULL BLAST WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK DEVELOPED ON ITS OWN. DEALER REFUSED TO INSPECT AND REFERRED TO NEARBY GLASS COMPANY FOR REPAIR. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 5:45 PM ON JUNE 2, 2020 WHILE TRAVELING ON ROUTE 30 WESTBOUND NEAR COATESVILLE, PA AFTER THE ROUTE 82 EXIT THE HONDA CR-V LOST POWER. THE CR-V SLOWED TO UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR WHILE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC PASSED. I ESTIMATE THAT SOME PASSING VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH. THE CR-V FINALLY MADE IT TO THE AIRPORT ROAD EXIT - A DISTANCE OF NEARLY THREE MILES. NOTE: IN TWO PLACES RT. 30'S NARROW SHOULDER WAS NOT USABLE AND I WAS BRIEFLY FORCED BACK ONTO THE ROADWAY CONTINUING IN THE SLOW LANE. ONCE ON AIRPORT ROAD I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, TURNED OFF THE CR-V AND INSPECTED THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE TO REEDMAN TOLL HONDA. THE CR-V HAS 35,762 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS. MY WIFE WAS THE SOLE PASSENGER. I WAS THE DRIVER. THE UNSAFE CONDITION PRESENTED BY THE HONDA CR-V ENDED WITH FRAYED NERVES, BUT NO OTHER INJURY. HOWEVER, THIS IS UNSAFE CONDITION COULD HAVE EASILY HAD A TRAGIC ENDING. *TR

WHILE IN MOTION IN A CITY STREET WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED FOR NO REASON. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND TO WARRANT BRAKE SYSTEM TO INITIATE. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD CAUSE ME AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING RURAL CITY ROAD AT APPROX 25MPH WHEN CAR CMBS ENGAGED. NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR OBJECTS. THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME. CMBS APPLIED THE BRAKES AND VEHICLE IN BACK OF ME CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING MY CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL INDEPENDENTLY DRIFTED BACK TO THE LEFT WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V663000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 66,000. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED AT BALISE HONDA. THE BACK RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED. *JS

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON ROUTE 43 APPROACHING ROUTE 60 IN LAKE FORREST, ILLINOIS ON NOVEMBER 5, 2019 MY HONDA CR-V SUDDENLY STOPPED. AND, I MEAN COMPLETELY STOPPED.FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 35 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRENCE WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A FALSE POSITIVE ERROR. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY AT THE TIME. MY ONLY WITNESS IS MY WIFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR PRIMARILY TO DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND NOW HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN IT'S ABILITY FOR SAFETY. THIS PROBLEM HASN'T OCCURRED AGAIN SINCE NOVEMBER 2019 BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST OUR LIVES TO A COMPUTER IN CHARGE OF THIS CAR. THIS IS A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING ERROR THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF LIFE. OTHER COMPUTER ASSISTED DRIVING VEHICLES DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY MUST HAVE TESTED AND OVERCOME THIS SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ISSUE. DOES TESLA OR MOBILEYE HAVE THIS ISSUE? IS IT ONLY HONDA? *TR

WHILE IN MOTION, FRONT END MAKES A NOISE WHEN HE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. STEERING WHEEL AND CAR JERK WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OR CURVE. HONDA SERVICE FOUND THAT THE RACK/STEERING BOX IS DEFECTIVE. OTHER 18 MODELS HAVE RECALLS. MY WARRANTY IS OUT AND HONDA WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR-USED (5-4-20) WITH 18250 MILES ON IT 3 DAYS LATER (5-7-20) TOOK A SHORT ROAD TRIP. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON AND ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER THE SIDEWALL WENT OUT... THANKFULLY I WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN. IT WAS THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. A NICE PERSON STOPPED TO HELP ME CHANGE THE TIRE. WHEN HE REMOVED IT THE ENTIRE INSIDE SIDE WALL LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A KNIFE TO IT ALL THE WAY AROUND. *TR

HONDA CRV-2018 SUDDENLY STOPS WHILE DRIVING; ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHT IS FLASHING; NO CAR IS IN FRONT. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND CASES A 6INCH+ CRACK IN THE PASSENGER'S FIELD OF VIEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT GASOLINE LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE OIL AND CAUSED ENGINE OIL DILUTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA MOTOR WORK (1475 SOUTH BARRINGTON ROAD, BARRINGTON, IL 60010, (847)-381-8900), WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO MONITOR THE OIL LEVEL AND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

WINDSHIELD CRACK FROM DRIVERS SIDE EDGE TOWARD THE MIDDLE. CRACK IS NOW OVER 18 INCHES. NO APPARENT ROCK CHIP AT ORIGIN OF CRACK. NOW A SECOND CRACK HAS FORMED. CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN MORNING AFTER PARKING CAR IN GARAGE OVER NIGHT.

THE ENGINE OR SOMETHING THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL TO THE ENGINE CAUSES FUEL DILUTION OF THE ENGINE OIL. THIS WAS EASILY IDENTIFIED WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL. THE CAR WAS AT HOME ON A LEVEL CONCRETE FLOOR AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE NORMAL FULL LEVEL AND THE OIL STRONGLY SMELLED OF GASOLINE. THIS RESULTS IN DECREASED OIL VISCOSITY CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR OF ENGINE PARTS AND ENGINE FAILURE LEADING TO INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS.

2018 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE TIRES ON VEHICLE. *LD CONSUMER STATES THAT SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE, THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF PRINCETON (PRINCETON, NJ) FOR REPAIRS. ON 2/9/2020 CONSUMER REPLACED THE TIRES. MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. *DL

THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE ENGINE OIL. THE OIL LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK THAN AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE, INDICATING GASOLINE IS SOMEHOW MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE OIL. THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN ON EVERY TRIP. CAR IS OWNED AND OPERATED IN ATLANTA, GA.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN PAST THREE WEEKS. CAR STARTS AND AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON BLINKING ON DASHBOARD INCLUDING BRAKE, BRAKE SYSTEM, AND CONTINUE BLINKING. BLINKING LIGHTS CONTINUE WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING AND ON GRAVEL ROAD AND PAVED ROADS. THE FIRST TRIP TO LOCAL HONDA AND REPORT WAS BAD BATTERY. SECOND TRIP AND I WAS TOLD CONNECTOR BOX. THIS IS THIRD TIME AND ITS WEEKEND AND LOCAL HONDA CLOSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE DATE BELOW IS THIRD TIME DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BRAKING FEATURE ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PLANET HONDA LOCATED AT (2285 US HIGHWAY 22, UNION NJ) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

ON OCCASION IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN GOING EXTREMELY SLOW SPEED AND TURNING THE WHEEL EVER SO SLIGHTLY IT'S MAKING A VERY LOUD HUMMING TYPE NOISE AND THEN GOES AWAY IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED WITH A SLIGHT TURN

I SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE GASOLINE SMELL IS NOT PRESENT ON INITIAL START UP BUT HAPPENS WHEN I RUN ERRANDS WHICH REQUIRES MANY STOPS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES. IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN WINDOWS TO VENTILATE THE CABIN. I HAVE ALSO LOST THE SENSORS THREE TIMES AND MY SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK REQUIRING ME TO REBOOT. I HAVE TALKED TO TECHNICIAN THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE GAS DILUTION FIXED?

STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN STOPPED THE FUEL LEVEL IS HIGH, KNOWN HONDA OIL DILUTION PROBLEM CHECKED BY EAST COAST HONDA MYRTLE BEACH S C THEY REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS PIPES AND OIL AGAIN FOR 3RD TIME. CONTINUALLY OVERFULL CRANKCAS. HONDA HAS AN OPEN CASE ALSO #10008784 AND DEALERSHIP IS WORKING ON THE SOLUTION BUT IT STILL EXISTS! I ALREADY HAVE A NHTSA CASE # 11277446 BUT I CAN NOT LOCATE IT AND TELEPHONE CLERK WAS SNOTTY ABOUT ME GIVING HER THE INFO AND ME ASKING FOR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

I WAS AWAY FOR 17 DAYS AND MY BATTERY DIED. WENT TO DEALER AND HE SAID THIS IS NORMAL. HOW IS THIS NORMAL? IT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! CAR IS 18 MONTHS OLD! THIS IS DANGEROUS TOO. LAST YEAR WE WERE GONE 2 MONTHS AND WIFE'S CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. NEIGHBORS WINTER IN FLORIDA - COME HOME AND CARS START UP. MY LAST CAR SAT 3 MONTHS AND STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! WE TRAVEL AND CAR SITS AT THE AIRPORT / TRAIN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE COME BACK AND IT'S DEAD AND IT'S LATE / SNOW / ICE / BAD AREA. WORSE - I COULD NOT GET INTO THE REAR HATCH (DEALER SAID NOPE - CAN'T - NO BYPASS) TO GET MY JUMPER CABLES! AND CAR WAS IN A GARAGE (50+ DEGREES). GARAGE ALSO MADE IT HARD TO JUMP AS WAS PULLED IN FORWARD! THIS IS ALL SCARY AND MUST BE FIXED BUT DEALER SAYS NORMAL. HE SAID SOME DIE IN A COUPLE / FEW DAYS AND IT'S NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL? AFTER JUMPING IT I HAD TO RESET SO MUCH / DASH WAS LIT UP - RADIO DIDN'T WORK. 17 DAYS IS NOTHING FOR A CAR TO SIT AND DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE DIED THE FIRST WEEK. THEN WHAT - NO ALARM - NOTHING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY HAVE THIS ISSUE. FOR ALL I KNOW MY HONDA BATTERY DIED DAY 2 OR 3 AS MANY ONLINE SAY THEIRS DIES AFTER SITTING JUST A FEW DAYS.

TWICE AT THE SAME 4 STOP INTERSECTION, I HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN CLEAR ATTEMPTED PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) HAS ENGAGED UNEXPECTEDLY. BOTH TIMES I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND WHEN A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED, HALTING ME IN THE INTERSECTION.

FROM THE DATE I PURCHASED (SO HONDA ALREADY KNEW OF PROBLEM) MY VEHICLE OIL IS BEING OVER FILLED (AND DILUTED) WITH GASOLINE. IT DILUTES AND OVERFILLS TO THE POINT OF PCV VALVE BURN OFF. NOW 33000 MILES ON AUTO, HONDA WANTS TO CHANGE INJECTORS TO "SEE" IF THIS SOLVES PROBLEM. ONE: IT'S HAPPENED SINCE NEW. INJECTORS OR DOUBTFULLY THE PROBLEM. TWO: 33000 MILES OF GAS/OIL DILUTION HAS UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED WEAR TO CRANK AND CYLINDERS. HOW IS INJECTORS BEING REPLACED GOING TO "SOLVE" THE WEAR THAT THEY HAVE ALLOWED, SINCE MY CONTINUED CONCERNS AT EVERY SINGLE OIL CHANGE FOR 33000 MILES WERE IGNORED? I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, BUT VERY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE. ONE: WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS FOR 33000 MILES? TWO: WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINING FROM THE START OF DILUTION, WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED THE WEAR TO MY ENGINE? AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT STOP THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY HONDA IGNORING MY COMPLAINTS FOR 33000 MILES TO START A REPAIR. NOTE, I HAVE ADDRESSED OVERFILLING WITH GASOLINE AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (GARAGE VISIT) TO THE POINT OF ARGUMENT JUST TO GET IT DOCUMENTED THAT I RAISED THE ISSUE! IT DILUTES TO PCV VALVE BURNOFF BEFORE 1000 MILES (AS TESTED AND VERIFIED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP!) AND GOES FOR AT LEAST 5000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. EVERY DAY MORE GAS AND OIL ARE BURNT THROUGH EXHAUST AS MORE GAS IS ADDED. I WILL COMPLY WITH THE INJECTOR "FIX" BY THE GARAGE, BUT WANT MY WEAR TO THE ENGINE ADDRESSED. THIS IS GROSS OVERFILLING

ON SATURDAY 2/29/2020 I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 183 HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AT 68 MPH WHEN MY DRIVER DOOR OPENED. IT DIDN'T FLY ALL THE WAY OPEN BUT IT WAS AJAR ABOUT 4 TO 5 INCHES. I HELD THE DOOR AS CLOSE TO CLOSED AS I COULD WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER HAND TO REACH A SAVE STOP IN ORDER TO CLOSE MY DOOR. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND 8 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT IS SCARY NONETHELESS. I WAS ABOUT 19 MILES INTO MY TRIP TO WORK THAT DAY. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THAT WAS NO ALERT THAT MY DOOR WAS OPENED PRIOR TO IT OPENING. THERE WASN'T EVEN A ALERT ONCE IT BECAME OPEN AND I NOTICED BECAUSE I COULD HEAR THE AIR AND THE DOOR WAS MOVING. THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM STILL SHOWED THE DOOR LOCKED BEFORE I UNLOCKED IT AND CLOSED THE DOOR. WHILE IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. I WOULD STILL APPRECIATE THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
