WHILE DRIVING ON 45 MPH ROAD ON 2020 FEB 18 MORNING, THE VEHICLE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP AFTER I CROSSED A SIGNAL INTERSECTION. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE FRONT OR BACK LUCKILY AND I DID NOT GET DAMAGED. I TOOK THE CR-V TO PERFECTION HONDA IN RIO RANCHO, AFTER HOLDING THE VEHICLE FOR CHECK UP FOR 24 HRS, THEY DID NOT GIVE A MEANINGFUL REASON AND ONLY GIVEN IRRELEVANT ANSWER.

12:00 NOON 02/19/2020. WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON HILLTOP ROAD IN GREENSBORO, NC WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW FOR A ROUGH RAILROAD CROSSING. THE BRAKES WERE ABRUPTLY APPLIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SLIDING THE TIRES. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN REAR-ENDED. WILL REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL VANN YORK SERVICE DEALER IN HIGH POINT, NC.

ENGINE OIL DILUTION CONTINUES AFTER HONDA FIX WITH REPROGRAMMING ENGINE COMPUTER AND AC CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS UNLIMITED MILEAGE FROM THE ORIGINAL SALE DATE. CURRENT MILEAGE 14,000. ENGINE OIL AND FILTER HAS BEEN CHANGED 8 TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILED TO DEPLOY RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH. ACCIDENT RESULTED IN MINOR INJURIES TO THE DRIVER- BROKEN FINGER.

THERE IS A HESITATION PROBLEM DUE TO THE TURBOCHARGER THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT IT CAN BE DANGEROUS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THIS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING

INTERMITTENTLY THE "SAFETY SYSTEM" ITEMS STOP WORKING- ADAPTIVE CRUISE, LANE ASSIST, ETC. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO RAIN/ FOG/ PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTION, ETC. AFTER FEW HOURS IT STARTS WORKING. HAPPENS EVERY FEW WEEKS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55MPH ON RT.28 SOUTH EPSOM, NH THE CAR JUST STOPPED NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. IT STOPPED FOR NO REASON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 60-65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND THE BRAKES ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE SPEED DECREASED. THE ADAPTED CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTON HONDA 3249 WILMINGTON RD, NEW CASTLE, PA 16105 (724) 498-4944 WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RADAR OBSTRUCTION AND SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THE IGNITION IS KEYLESS. I PRESSED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND IT SHUT OFF. BUT I FORGOT TO SHIFT INTO PARK. I EXITED THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. I RAN BACK TO IT, JUMPED IN AND SHIFTED TO PARK, STOPPING THE CAR. IF I HADN'T NOTICED AND STOPPED THE CAR, SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HURT. WHEN YOU STOP THE ENGINE, THERE SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT TO PARK OR AN AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

WHILE IN MOTION THE CR-V CONTINUES TO BRIGHT LIGHT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY WHILE THE VOLUME OF THE STEREO GOES CONSTANTLY FROM LOUD TO MUTE, AND THE DOOR LOCK/ UNLOCKS BEING CONTINUAL. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, USAGE OF FUEL DRASTICALLY INCREASED, NOTICED OUR THROATS HURTING/ VOICE HOARSENESS/ COUGHING/ PASSENGER PASS OUT UNTIL WINDOWS ARE CRACKED OPEN (CARBON MONOXIDE?). CONSTANT SPUTTERING, NO HORSEPOWER, CAN'T STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES SAYING ROAD DEPARTURE (CLEARLY WE ARE NOT DEPARTING THE ROADWAY). DOORS TO THE BACK HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO OPEN THEM, CAUSING THE CHILDREN TO PANIC IN FEAR OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START HAS ONLY WORKED (2) TIMES IN A YEARS TIME. THERE HAS BEEN A BUZZING/ HUMMING MOTOR SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR OVER (5) HOURS. GASOLINE HAS NOW BEEN NOTICED IN THE OIL. THE DASH PERIODICALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS (DIMMING/ BRIGHT LIGHTS) DOES NOT WORK, AND HAS ONLY WORKED (1) TIME. A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT HAS SMOKED, LIKE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ANYTIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. FEARFUL OF TRAVELING IN THE CR-V, WE DO NOT USE AFTER DARK, THE AMOUNT SPENT O

09/2019- TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE IN FAST LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC APPROX. 79MPH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF & NUMEROUS VEHICLES BEHIND ME. A VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE SWITCHED LANES IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING MINE TO HIT THE BRAKES, LOCKING UP, SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS IN THE MEDIAN THE 2ND VEHICLE WAS INCHES FROM ME. MY PASSENGER (CHILD IN BACK) SAFELY STRAPPED, HAD A WHELP & BURN ON RIGHT SIDE OF NECK/CHEST FROM SEATBELT. SOLUTION DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL. 11/2019 ON VACATION THE VEHICLE SHOWED LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH, PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE PRESSURE, ALL TIRES WERE OKAY. TRAVELING ON A 3 LANE BUSY HIGHWAY,IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BRAKE WOULD ENGAGE ALONG WITH THE STEERING, JERK TO THE LEFT, "LANE DEPARTURE" ON THE DASH. IT TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PULL AGAINST THE VEHICLE KEEPING IT ON THE ROAD. NO GUARD RAIL ON THE ROAD. PULLING AGAINST THE STEERING PREVENTED MY CRV FROM GOING OVER THE MOUNTAIN. I COULD NOT HAVE THE ECON ON, IF ON, THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD REACH IN THE CRV WAS 35MPH. WITH THE ECON OFF 45 MPH WAS THE HIGHEST SPEED THE TRAVEL SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS BETWEEN 65-70MPH. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. I TOOK THE CRV TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ONCE I WAS HOME IT WAS KEPT FOR A WEEK. THEY FEEL LIKE A SOFTWARE UPDATE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I LATER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM BE AWARE THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SAID THEY MADE HONDA AWARE, BUT DID NOT. I HAD A CASE WITH HONDA, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MY

ISSUES WITH CHARGER UNDER RADIO. I'VE BROUGHT IT IN. THE FUZE BLEW. ISSUES WITH PANDORA NOT SYNCING AND BROUGHT IT IN MORE THAN ONCE. MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY SCREEN BUGGING OUT WITH LEVELS OF THE SCREEN BRIGHTENS BUT IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE THE SCREEN IS BEING TAPPED AND IT'S NOT. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TURN CAR ON AND OFF. HAD TO STOP ON PARKWAY YO FIX, NOT SAFE. BROUGHT IT IN FOR THAT MORE THAN ONCE TOO AND STILL NOT FIXED. ISSUES WITH PIC UPLOADS TOO

THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK ON ITS OWN WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A COVERED PARKING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT/DAMAGE. THE CRACK SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY POOL DESIGN/WORKMANSHIP

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH NO VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED HARD. IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH RESULTED IN ME GETTING REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO HONDA TO TRY TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THE BLACK BOX BUT THEY REFUSED TO TRY TO PULL ANYTHING.

YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING AT 68MPH, WITH NO VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME OR BESIDE ME, AND NO OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY AT ALL, THE VEHICLE SELF-APPLIED THE BRAKES FIRMLY. THIS WASN'T A GRADUAL SLOW DOWN, IT WAS IMMEDIATE AND THANKFULLY THE LARGE BOBTAIL TRUCK BEHIND HAD AN ATTENTIVE DRIVER, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND THE RESULTS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OTHER TIMES, BUT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. AGAIN, THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CR-V...EXCEPT AIR AND CONCRETE. THIS EVENT GOT MY ATTENTION AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA OF TOMBALL AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE. THE CR-V IS THERE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND NOTHING AGAINST HONDA OF TOMBALL, AS THEY ARE GREAT, BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION. APPARENTLY, HONDA HASN'T EVEN SENT THIS DOWN TO THE DEALERS? WE PURCHASED 2 HONDA VEHICLES A MONTH APART, DUE TO THEIR ADVERTISED RELIABILITY AND SAFETY RATINGS. WE ABSOLUTELY WANT THE ADDED ELECTRONIC SAFETY FEATURES, AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE ACCIDENTS AND INJURY. THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE HONDA SENSING IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF ADMISSION TO THE ISSUE ISN'T STATED AND A REAL RESOLUTION ISN'T PRESENTED BY HONDA. IT WAS ALMOST ME YESTERDAY. THIS IS IN NO WAY AN EXAGGERATION. HONDA, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

MY ENGINES CRANKCASE IS FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE. I'AM AFRAID OF A FIRE.

GAS WAS FOUND IN THE OIL. NOTICED AT 7,000 MILES AND AT 10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CRV, MOST RECENTLY A COMPLETE MALFUNCTION WHERE CAR DID NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL FLASHING ON ALERT. HONDA MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT FOR OVERFILLING MY OIL TANK. WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2500 FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER MUCH NEGOTIATING THEY LOWERED COST. HOWEVER I HAVE SINCE SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. *TR

FROM 3,500 TO NOW 9,500MI 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS SENSOR SUITE HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING FOR FROM 10MI TO A 100MI TILL COME BACK ON. IN ALL BUT 1 TIME (WHICH RECURRED GOING TO DEALER) BY COMING TO STOP OR RESTARTING ENGINE HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL. STILL HAVE THROTTLE, BRAKE, GAS GUAGE, LIGHTS ETC BUT NO FUNCTIONS THAT REQUIRE PUSHBUTTON OR SENSING FUNCTIONS. ALL HAPPENED WHILE AT HYW SPEEDS. 1 TIME CAR TOTALLY QUIT (LIKE SHUT OFF WITH SWITCH) FOR A SEC FREE ROLLING AT 65MPH THEN CAME ON WHERE LEFT OFF.

WHENEVER I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER BEING PARKED FOR HOURS, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE PAST 10-15MPH EVEN WHEN I STEP HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES AS WELL AS DRIVE AROUND SLOWLY BEFORE THE ACCELERATOR WILL RESPOND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR*V. WHILE CHANGING THE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED THERE WAS FUEL IN THE OIL. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL OF ODOR OF FUEL DETECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED CAPITAL HONDA: 2651 JOLLY RD, OKEMOS, MI 48864 517) 337-8383, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN UNOBSTRUCTED CITY STREET, AT NIGHT, I DROVE UNDER PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE THAT WAS CASTING A SHADOW ON THE ROAD. THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM BEEPED AND ALERTED TO BRAKE. THE CAR THEN BEGAN BRAKING VERY HARD TO A NEAR FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC.

WHILE EITHER DRIVING VEHICLE OR THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WHILE USING NAVIGATION, MUSIC, ETCETERA FROM INFOTAINMENT SCREEN, WILL EITHER REBOOT OR GO BLANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE WE HAVE TAKEN POSSESSION OF THE CAR IN APRIL 2018.

2018 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WHIRLING NOISE FROM ENGINE. *LD *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT VEHICLE MISFIRED AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. LOST SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PARKED CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CAR STARTED TO REV ITSELF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT PUSHING THE PEDAL. ALL SYSTEM ALERT INDICATORS CAME ON INDICATING ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL & ENGINE COMPONENTS. TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED. CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY NOTICED MISFIRES AS WELL WHEN TESTING AND CAR WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE FOLLOWING IN DIAGNOSTIC REPORT: "FOUND ENGINE OIL TO BE OVER FILLED. CODE P0300 RANDAM MISFIRE. THERE WAS GAS IN THE FUEL - PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND UPDATED THE PGM - FI SYSTEM" AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CRV 2018 MODELS, BUT THERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THAT GAS GETS IN TO THE OIL PANEL AND DILUTES THE OIL WITH GAS. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAD OUR CAR MISFIRED AT HIGHER SPEED THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL ALSO ASSUREDLY EFFECT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES ENGINE AS OIL IS DILUTED BY GAS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL TANK AND CAUSING STALLING AND MISFIRES ISSUES JUST

ON DECEMBER 22, 2019 I WAS HEADED TO CHURCH ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY AND HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, A LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD CAR HAULED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WHERE I HAD IT MAINTAINED. I HAD THE VEHICLE HAULED OVER TO DEALERSHIP ON A TRAILER TO AVOID DRIVING IT. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED, THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL TO THE ENGINE WAS BLOCKED BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT BLOCKED THE OIL. HEARING METAL TO METAL IT COULD HAVE BEEN SHAVINGS FROM THE METAL RUBBING TOGETHER. IT IS JANUARY 9, 2020 AND I AM STILL WITHOUT A MY CAR. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT READY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020. HOWEVER, WHEN I DROVE OFF IN IT, THE ENGINE WAS ROARING. SO, I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK AND LEFT IT ONCE AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY ONCE AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I WORK IN 53 MILE AWAY. I TEST DROVE IT AND THE ROARING SOUND WAS STILL THERE. THEY (THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT) THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES SO THEY ROTATED THE TIRES AND STILL HEARD THE ROARING SOUND. THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A 2018 VEHICLE. I FELT THE ROARING WAS STILL IN THE ENGINE. I WILL HOPEFULLY PICK MY CAR UP ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 IN HOPES THE ROARING SOUND IS GONE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE THE 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE OIL. NEVERTHELESS,

HONDA 2018 CR V TOURING AWD HAS STEERING ISSUES ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASION. SEPT 2019, OCT 2019, DEC 2019 WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE POWER STEERING PULLED TO THE LEFT INTO THE WRONG LANE & THE 3RD TIME ALMOST INTO A DITCH IT TOOK TWO OR US TO OVER RIDE THAT. DURING THAT 3RD TIME WE ALSO HAD 4 WARNINGS: ACC, LKAS, CMBS AND RDM. I HAD AMBER AND RED WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING THE BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE, ACC & FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF FOR 30 MINS. EACH PROBLEM TAKEN INTO THE DEALER WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE, AND YOUR VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ALSO NOTIFIED HONDA STILL NO ANSWER.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL "ON". TWO INCIDENTS IN THE PAST YEAR THE CAR'S BRAKING SYTEM ACTIVATED AS IF I WERE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO CARS WERE WITHIN 500 TO 1000 FEET AND NO OTHER OBJECTS WERE OBSERVED. THEN TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH THE FLASHING "BRAKE" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH PANEL INDICATING I SHOULD SLOW DOWN AS I MAY HIT SOMETHING. AGAIN, THIS OCCURRED ON THE NTERSTATE AND NO CARS OR OBJECTS WERE ANYWHERE NEAR ME. THIS LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 01/01/2020.

HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND COMMONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IF YOU USE A USB STICK TO PLAY AUDIO THROUGH THE CAR STEREO WILL TEMPORARILY FREEZE AND REQUIRES YOU TO PRESS THE SCREEN AGAIN TO RESUME THE MUSIC PLAYING. THIS ISN'T MUCH OF A SAFETY CONCERN EXCEPT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE USING THE REAR CAMERA TO BACK UP. THE SCREEN WILL STOP SHOWING A LIVE FEED AND JUST SHOW WHAT IS SHOWING WHEN IT FROZE. PEOPLE MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THE PICTURE ISN'T LIVE AND CONTINUE THINKING THAT EVERYTHING IS CLEAR BEHIND THEM. THANKS TO GOV'T REAR CAMERAS ARE BEING REQUIRED. THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING SADLY LESSENS THE SAFETY OF A CAR RATED AS A TOP SAFETY PICK BY YOUR ORGANIZATION (NOT BLAMING YOU FOR NOT NOTICING IT) 7/26/19 I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA OF PRINCETON WHO WASN'T ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE NOR DID THEY INSTILL CONFIDENCE THAT THEY'D BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS EXPLAINS THE DELAY IN REPORTING TO YOU. I SPOKE WITH HONDA 12/26/19 (CASE 10111741) AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DIDN'T HAVE A FIX AT THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT USB DRIVES WITHOUT SUCCESS. I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP IN APPLYING PRESSURE FOR A FIX TO BE ISSUED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

PURCHASED HONDA 2018 CRV TOURING IN OCTOBER OF 2018. IN DECEMBER RECEIVED LETTER FROM HONDA REGARDING A FIX FOR THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE. OIL CHANGE 12/27/18 AND AGAIN 5/30/19 AT 3544 MILES AS OIL ABOVE FULL ON DIPSTICK. OIL CHANGE AGAIN 8/21/19 AT 7,386 MILES FOR SAME ISSUE. NOW AT 10,971 NEEDING OIL CHANGE AGAIN BECAUSE OF EXCESS OIL/FUEL MIXTURE. ALSO, STILL GETTING GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. ## VIN PASSED ## ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE PUMPING ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

THE TURN SIGNALS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE TURN SIGNALS FLASHING LIGHTS WORK, BUT THERE IS NO CLICKING SOUND. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN CHANGING LANES ON A HIGHWAY. I AM OFTEN UNAWARE THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ARE STILL ENGAGED.

CONSTANT FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS IS NOTICED WHENEVER, THE CLIMATE CONTROL IS SET TO HAVE EXTERIOR AIR CIRCULATION.

NOTICED A LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR LAST WEEK. GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND SAW A THIN LINE RUNNING THE LENGTH OF BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CRACK WAS IN THE BLACK PART OF THE WINDSHIELD AT THE DEFROST LINE. THE CRACK SEEMED TO SPREAD AFTER COLD NIGHTS. I HAVE INFORMED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.

WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE AND AS SOON AS I STARTED THE ENGINE I RECEIVED 4 WARNINGS: ACC, LKAS, CMBS AND RDM. I HAD AMBER WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING THE BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE, ACC & FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A SECOND THEN RESTARTED IT. ALL 4 WARNINGS AND WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP AUTOMATICALLY. WAS A CLEAR DRY DAY SO I KNEW NOTHING WAS BLOCKING SENSORS SO I STARTED MY HOUR DRIVE HOME THINKING THEY WOULD GO AWAY WHILE DRIVING. THEY NEVER DID. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED AGAIN A FEW SECONDS THEN RESTARTED IT TO NO AVAIL AS ALL LIGHTS AND WARNING RETURNED INSTANTLY.

I OWN A 2018 CRV PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2018. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A SLIGHTLY DRIZZLY, APPROXIMATELY 45-ISH DEGREE MORNING THIS WEEK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG/EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHT CRACKLING NOISE RIGHT OVER MY HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY SUNROOF SHADE SHUT AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK (ABOUT A 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD), I DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BECAUSE I PULLED THE SHADE CLOSED, THE GLASS DID NOT FALL IN TO THE VEHICLE SO THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. MY ROUTE IS ONE I DO DAILY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE AN OVERPASS OR OVERHANGS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING HAD BEEN THROWN/FALLEN ON MY ROOF. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE BODY/ROOF. I BELIEVE THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO AN OUTSIDE BODY SHOP TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALER'S FINANCE OFFICE ABOUT MY WARRANTY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO GLASS REPAIR IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SUBMIT UNDER MY COMPREHENSIVE CAR INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE DID ULTIMATELY COVER THE DAMAGE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RELUCTANT AS THEY FELT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAGS. NEITHER VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE SUSTAINED SOME SCRATCHES TO THE LEFT ARM, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

MY WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE OPEN AND UNLOCKED, INCLUDING HATCHBACK. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4X'S IN LAST TWO WEEKS IN CHICAGO DURING HOLIDAY SEASON! *MP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO COMPLETELY OPEN AFTER THE CRASH. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS MORE DAMAGED THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED CHEST BONE, A HEMATOMA IN THE CHEST, AND WAS IN ICU FOR TWO DAYS. THE PASSENGER WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEN TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL THAT COULD TREAT MAJOR CHEST INJURIES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST BRUISES AND WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT 1 OR MORE AIR BAGS OF THE PASSENGER FRONT FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

I EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE ON 11/29/2019 AROUND 1PM. I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP A A STOP SIGN WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO ABOVE 3000RPM. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH MORE FORCE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000RPM. WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKES FIRMLY, I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN CONFIRMED THAT MY FOOT WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE PEDALS AND NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THERE HAPPENS TO BE A POLICE OFFICER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME AND HE CAME UP TO MY VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND HE SUGGESTED I START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I DID SO AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN ABOVE 3000 RPMS. THE POLICE OFFICER CONCURRED THAT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL AND I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN. BY THIS TIME A SECOND OFFICER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. AFTER CONSULTING BRIEFLY, THEY WERE ABOUT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK FOR ME WHEN THE SECOND OFFICER SUGGESTED THAT I TRY STARTING THE VEHICLE ONE MORE TIME. WHEN I DID, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY UPON RETURNING HOME. HOWEVER, AFTER INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO VEHICLES AROUND, THE EMRGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED THE BRAKE SIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THEN SLOWED DOWN TO A MUCH SLOWER SPEED. THE ENTIRE FAILURE LASTED APPROXIMATELY TEN SECONDS AND THEN RESUMED NORMAL SPEED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME HER TRIP. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURED. VENICE HONDA (985 US-41 BYP, VENICE, FL 34285, (941) 486-8888) SCHEDULED AN APPOINMENT TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300.

LIGHTS, WINDOWS AND SUNROOF ALL OPENED SPONTANEOUSLY OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE DOWNSTAIRS GARAGE OF MY HOME. REMOTE NOT TOUCHED. READ ONLINE OF MANY CASES NOT SO LUCKY THAT OPENED DURING RAIN STORM RESULTING IN A SOAKING WET CAR. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO OPTION TO TURN OFF CONTROL THAT MIGHT TRIGGER THIS. WILL TAKE PHOTO FOR DOCUMENTATION IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN

OUR SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR EXPRESSWAY. WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 4 HRS, AND THE SUNROOF GLASS BUBBLED OUTWARDS AND EXPLODED IN MANY MANY SMALL FRAGMENTS. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WITH AN OUTSIDE OBJECT AND THE GLASS WAS CLEARLY BLOWN OUTWARD. WE SUSPECT THE HEAT BUILDUP BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE MOON PRESSURIZED THE AIR AND THE GLASS FAILED, EXPLODING.

WHILE DRIVING LEISURELY ON A WINDING ROAD CALLED SULLIVAN TRAIL, SCOTRUN PA WE RECEIVED AN ALERT ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD: "BRAKE SYSTEM ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" (RDMS). THE RDMS BUTTON WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. WE WERE ABOUT 2 MINUTES FROM HOME SO THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND PARKED. AT HOME, WE PRESSED THE RDMS BUTTON AND IT DID NOT LIGHT TO ENGAGE. THROUGH GOOGLE SEARCH, WE FOUND OUT OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AT THE APPROXIMATE 5000 MILE MARK. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT RAY PRICE HONDA IN STROUDSBURG PA IN NOVEMBER 2018. IT HAS HAD ONE OIL SERVICE CHANGE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AT THE 5000 MILE MARK. CURRENTLY, IT HAS 5570 MILES. WE UNDERSTAND FROM AN ARTICLE ONLINE THAT HONDA DOES NOT GIVE WARRANT ON THIS ISSUE WHICH COULD COST 3000 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN MAINLY FOR SHORT AND CAREFUL DRIVES AROUND STROUDSBURG -- FOOD SHOPPING AND THE LIKE FOR OUR HOME. WITH SUCH LIMITED DRIVES, IT SHOULD SURELY BE MORE RELIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE APPROACHING A RAILROAD TRACK AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED FORCEFULLY ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO HER DESTINATION.

REPORTED TWICE TO HONDA TECHNICIAN WHO SAID IT HAPPENS WITH OTHER 18 CRV. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM' (CMBS')*

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, TRAVELLING STRAIGHT EAST WITH NO TURNS. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE, TIME WAS 5:40 PM. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY MOONROOF EXPLODED, I WAS VERY STARTLED AND SWERVED BARELY MISSING THE CAR BESIDE ME. THE SUNSCREEN WAS CLOSED, AND I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT SHATTERED GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED ON THE CAR BEHIND ME. INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 11/01/2019

DRIVING IN TOWN GOING TO STORE SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE DEAD ANIMAL OR SOME HAIR BURNING HORRIBLE SMELL ALMOST GOT SICK AND OR PASSED OUT. NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES I DROVE IT THE SMELL GOT BETTER BUT I TOLD MY SON. I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE CAUSE I WAS GETTING SICK. THEN THE SMELL WENT AWAY AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON SAYING I HAD 15% OIL LIFE LEFT. ME AND MY SON SMELLED OIL STICK AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. TIRES WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE ON ALL FOUR AT 11,940. MILES. I HAD TO PAY MY OWN MONEY TO BALANCE THEM AGAIN

PROBLEMS FIRST PRESENTED: AUTO DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTION, AUTO- RAIN SENSING WIPER MALFUNCTION WOULD COME ON WHEN DRY, NOT COME ON WHEN WET; NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT CRAZY ON THE HIGHWAY FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN USING IT; TWICE THE AUTO BREAKING SYSTEM CAME ON WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME....GOING 50 MPH! I VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. I SAW NO OBSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TWICE TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AND THEY HAVE NO BULLETINS REGARDING THESE ISSUES.
