2018 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES LIT UP AND FLASHED. THE VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE. THE CONTACT LET THE VEHICLE ROLL TO A STOP. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER. AIRPORT HONDA (3069 ALCOA HWY, ALCOA, TN 37701, (865) 970-2300) INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO HAVE HONDA ROADSIDE SERVICE TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE FELT UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT WANT IT BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THAT FUEL AND OIL WERE IN THE OIL TANK, LEAKING PAST THE CYLINDERS AND ENTERING THE OIL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA HONDA (4095 CRATER LAKE HWY, MEDFORD, OR 97504, (541) 930-3021) WHERE AN OIL DILUTION FOR THE FUEL ODOR WAS PERFORMED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DIPSTICK SHOWED THAT THE OIL WAS ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,864. *BF *JB

COMPUTER BREAK SYSTEM AND APPLIED BRAKES FAILED TO STOP OUR HONDA CRV 2018 AS WE WERE EXITING THE SANTA FE OPERA IN A SLOW MOVING LINE OF CARS DOWN AN INCLINE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME WE MADE THE DECISION TO "SELECT A PINE TREE" AS A WAY TO STOP THE CRV. THIS WAS DONE TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE CHAIN REACTION OF REAR END COLLISIONS TO A DOZEN OR MORE CARS AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

FLUID LEVEL WAS ABOVE FULL MARK, 8/3.19.

DRIVING ON THE STREET ABOUT 50 MPH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON THEN ENGINE WENT LIMP WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF G 20MPH. HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE TURNED ENGINE OFF AND LET IT REST FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DRIVE FINE. WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD IT CHECK AND THEY SAID CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CR V

ON JUNE 24, 2019, I WAS APPROACHING AN AREA ON A CHICAGO, IL, RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHERE A CREW HAD PLACED METAL PLATES IN THE ROAD TO COVER UP A HOLE OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL SLOPE ON A SUNNY EARLY EVENING, WITH THE SUN BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I WAS PROBABLY TRAVELING ABOUT 20 MPH. AS I APPROACHED THE METAL PLATES, THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC BREAKING KICKED IN AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN ABRUPT, IMMEDIATE STOP. THE BREAKS SQUEALED AND YOU COULD SMELL RUBBER FROM THE TIRES BURNING. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. ONCE WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. THERE WERE NO FURTHER INCIDENTS SINCE THEN. A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAD OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT IN THAT CASE THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKES ACTIVATED BUT DISENGAGED BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. THAT WAS ON A SLIGHT UPHILL SLOPE, HOWEVER., GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED.

WHILE CHANGING OIL AND FILTER AT 30,000 MILES 1) OIL APPEARED HIGHLY DILUTED AND WATERY 2) THERE WAS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM THE USED OIL I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD GAS IN OIL IS NORMAL FOR THESE TYPE ENGINES BUT HONDA HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THESE ENGINES. I ASKED ABOUT THE SOFTWARE 'FIX' I HAD READ ABOUT BEING PERFORMED AND DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE UPDATE TO MY CAR SINCE IT WASNOT SHOWING ANY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES AT THIS POINT.

DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD DOING ABOUT 55MPH ON JULY 28,19 MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO A DEAD STOP FOR NO REASON. CLOSEST VEHICLE IN FRONT WAS 9-10 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD. NOTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. IF A VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. A MALFUNCTION SUCH AS THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME I DID NOT HAVE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND HAD NO CONTROL OF GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING ASSIST SYSTEM ACTIVATED. THIS VEHICLE IS A TIME BOMB FOR ANYONE DRIVING IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD.AND ONE WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

I WAS DRIVING SATURDAY 27, 2019 ABOUT 9:00 AM IN THE PULASKI SKYWAY IN NEW JERSEY THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE DISPLAY WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF UNTIL THE CAR STALL AND THE ENGINE JUST STOP WORKING BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS( EVERY SINGLE ONE) JUST KEPT GOING ON AND OFF. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AS YOU MAY KNOW THE PULASKI SKYWAY HAS NOT PLACE TO PULL OVER, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE TRAFFIC JAM THAT MY BROKE DOWN CAR CAUSE. THE WEEKEND OF THE 07/21/2019 I HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CABIN AND WHEN I CHECK THE OIL DIPSTICK IT WAS OVERFILL AND HAD THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE I CALLED THE DEALER PLANET HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR TO CHECK ON 07/25/2019, THE SAME DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE SMELL OF GASOLINE AND THE OVERFILL ENGINE OIL WAS NORMAL. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE ON DRIVING MY HONDA CRV ANYMORE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON 06/15/2019 WITH 5,300 MILES ON IT.

ACCORDING TO BLACKSTONE LABS.OIL ANALYSIS USING OIL FROM THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 5K MILES ON 1/2019 OIL CONTAMINATED WITH GAS FROM DIRECT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM PROBLEM. DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM DUE TO STICKING ACCELERATION PEDAL. THIS HESITATION HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE IS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS FUEL CONTAMINATION OF CRANKCASE OIL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM REGARDING CITY & HIGHWAY DRIVING THAT ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN TRAFFIC FLOW. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO AVOID HAVING TO NEED TO ACCELERATE CAUSING MAJOR HESITATION (FLAT) & ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK IN DOWN ( TO FLOORBOARD) POSITION.

CENTRAL CONSOLE MALFUNCTIONING (BRIGHTNESS SETTING) AFFECTING SAFETY WHILE DRIVING OR USING GPS, AUDIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

THE AUDIO CONTROL PANEL (RADIO, HEAT, LIGHT BRIGHTNESS, ETC) HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND AT TIMES WILL GET INTO A MODE WHERE IT CYCLES ALL THE CONTROLS ON-OFF-CHANGING VOLUME-BRIGHTNESS-SWITCHING RADIO STATIONS AND OTHER THINGS. IT HAD BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FAULTS FOUND. I FINALL MANAGED TO CAPTURE THIS ON MY CAMERA AND SENT IT TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN REPLACED THE PANEL. NO ISSUES FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME HONDA WOULD NOT TRY TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE SUBCONTRACTOR WHO MADE THESE PANELS WAS AWARE IT HAD PROBLEMS AND "WERE WORKING ON A FIX". IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE TO TRY TO DRIVE WITH IT MAKING ALL THESE CHANGES WHILE IT BLINKS, CHANGES INTENSITY AND VOLUME. THIS IS A VERY SUBSTANDARD SITUATION.I HAVE MOVIES OF THE PANEL DOING THIS BUT NO PICTURES.

THIS IS ABOUT MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH AROUND 14,700 MILES AT PRESENT.MY WHOLE FAMILY AND A FRIEND WENT TO YAKIMA,WA FOR CHERRY PICKING.ON OUR WAY THERE FROM SEATTLE,WA WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LAKAS) SUDDENLY A WARNING FROM THE SCREEN APPEARED THAT SAYS..."POWER REDUCED - POWER GRILLE PROBLEM" AND THEN WE CAN NOT ACCELERATE THE SPEED. LUCKILY WE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY FOR EMERGENCY PARK AND WAIT FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE WARNING GOES OUT FROM THE SCREEN. WHEN IT GOES OUT WE START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING AGAIN AND AFTER 7 TO 10 MINUTES THE WARNING GOES ON AGAIN ,STOP AND GOES AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE ACC AND LKAS AND DRIVE IN A LOWER SPEED 60 TO 65 MPH IN A 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE.THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL FILL COMPARTMENT AND THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL.GASOLINE LEAKS TO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT.WHEN I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK , THE OIL IS DRIPPING LIKE WATER WITH BLACKISH COLOR BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE MIXED TO THE OIL. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR GOING TO THEM INSTEAD THE TOWING COMPANY (AAA) DO THE JOB TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.AND THE DAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GASOLINE I SMELL FROM THE COMPARTMENT IS NORMAL DUE TO COMBUSTION. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK TO PROVE TO THEM THAT IT SMELLS GASOLINE AND DRIPPING LI

DRIVING DOWN THE HWY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON SUDDENLY GET ERRORS LISTED BELOW, HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ERRORS AUTOMATICALLY CLEAR AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. CRUISE CONTROL AND OTHER SENSING FEATURES UNAVAILABLE WHILE ERRORS SHOW ON DASHBOARD. ERRORS: BRAKE SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES.

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5T ENGINE IS "MAKING OIL". I CHANGE MY OWN OIL AND MONITOR THE LEVEL WEEKLY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE THAT I READ ABOUT IN CONSUME REPORTS WOULD NOT AFFECT ME BECAUSE I AM IN A WARM CLIMATE (FLORIDA) BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE OIL LEVEL ON MY DIP STICK ROSE ABOUT 3/8 OF AN INCH IN 5000 MILES. I CHANGED THE OIL AND WE TOOK A TRIP TO TENNESSEE IN THE WINTER AND THE OIL LEVEL ROSE SO MUCH IN THE COLD WEATHER I WAS CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD CAUSE TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE SEALS SO I DRAINED SOME OIL OUT. I WOULD THINK THAT GAS IN THE OIL WOULD SEVERELY EFFECT ENGINE LIFE. THE DEALER DENIES THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM SAYING THE THIS IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE.

DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM, BRAKING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE.

THIS VEHICLE AFTER HAVING 4500 MILES, BEGAN TO SMELL TERRIBLY OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED , DID NOT WANT TO RUN, AND STALLED A FEW TIMES BEFORE I WOUND UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE LITTLE WRENCH CAME ON, FOR A NOTIFICATION OF THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GROWLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WAITING A HOPEFUL REPAIR. HERE I AM WITH NO VEHICLE, AND A $400 PER MONTH PAYMENT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IN TODAY'S WORLD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE PUT UP FOR SALE . A VEHICLE IS DEEMED NOT SAFE, WHEN IT'S STALLS ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING THEN HAD SOFTWARE UPDATE AC CONTROL ALL THAT WAS ON THE BULLETIN , LIGHTS FLASHING AGAIN WARNING LIGHTS SO AT 38,000 HAD TO HAVE FUEL INJECTORS, ONE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SINCE THEN AFTER CUTTING CAR OFF HASN'T COME BACK ON YET BOTH STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL BEEPING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE RADIO LIGHTING AND INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENKINS HONDA OF LEESBURG (8865 US-441, LEESBURG, FL 34788, (352) 815-2482) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOUR MORE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

OIL DILUTION CAUSE ENGINE WEAR IN SHORT TIME

THE NAVIGATION/INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT BECOMES UNUSABLE AND ALSO JUST BLACKS OUT SO IF YOU ARE USING THE NAVIGATION WHILE DRIVING IT BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT WHICH IS DANGEROUS. HONDA HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION YET.

THE BACK SEATBELTS CROSS, MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE MIDDLE SEAT. THE BACK DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER BELT HAS TO CROSS OVER THE MIDDLE BELT IN ORDER TO BUCKLE. THOSE PRESENTS A HUGE HAZARD. HONDA HAS OFFERED NO FIX.

RAW FUEL SMELL INSIDE CABIN AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE . ENGINE OIL DILUTED AND OIL LEVEL INCREASED . FUEL MIXED IN WITH OIL .

IN THE WINTER, I NOTICED A REDUCTION IN POWER FROM THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH AND STALLED A FEW TIMES IN PARKING LOTS. THERE WAS THE SMELL OF GAS AND SULFATES COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL. FOUR MONTHS LATER WITH NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, THE SMELL OF GAS IS AGAIN COMING THROUGH THE VENTS, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN, AND THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGH. I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL STALL IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND THE FUMES IN THE CABIN MAKE ME FEEL SICK.

THE LEFT, REAR (BEHIND DRIVER) SEAT BELT LATCH IS IN THE WRONG POSITION CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THREE (3) PASSENGERS ARE ON THE REAR SEAT, THE BELT FROM THE CENTER CROSSES OVER THE BELT FROM THE LEFT AT THE LATCHING POINTS; THEREBY CREATING A POINT OF DOUBLE LOAD WHERE THE BELTS CROSS. IN AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT I NOTICED ON THE DAY SPECIFIED ON THIS FORM.

CR-V WITH NOW 6000 MILES ON IT GETS OIL IN GAS. OIL CHANGED AT DEALER TWICE. DEALER SAYS HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT MY CAR VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET FIX AUTHORIZED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNDER WARRANTY. GETTING FIX SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM! GAS IN OIL MAY ALSO BE A FIRE HAZARD.

I WAS DRIVING FROM VIRGINIA BEACH, VA TO MIDLOTHIAN, VA ON STATE 288 NORTH (WWII VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH FAR LEFT LANE. I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL. SUDDENLY SMOKE STARTED TO APPEAR FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE HOWEVER, I QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS FROM MY VEHICLE WHAT APPEARED FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND MOVED TO THE FAR-RIGHT SHOULDER JUST SHORT OF MILE MARKER 10. I WAS TRAVELING WITH A COWORKER AND WE BOTH EXISTED THE VEHICLE AND WHITE SMOKE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO FILL THE INTERIOR FROM THE SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. WE CLOSED BOTH DOOR AND STARTED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ALONG THE SHOULDER. WE BOTH KNELT DOWN TO SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE FIRE DRIPPING FROM THE UNDERSIDE TO THE ASPHALT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE STARTED TO SEE FLAMES COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND BEGIN TO ENGULF THE CARE IN LESS THAN 10 MIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 FROM MY COWORKERS' PHONE BECAUSE LEFT MINE IN THE VEHICLE AND DARED NOT TO REENTER IT. A PASSERBY WHO HAPPENED TO BE A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO USE HIS VEHICLES FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FLAME BUT IT WAS TOO LARGE A FIRE. THE STATE TROOPERS ARRIVED IN ABOUT 10 MIN THEN THE FIRE TRUCKS ARRIVED ABOUT 10 MIN AFTER. BY THEN THE ENTIRE CARE WAS IN DARK BLACK SMOKE WITH FLAMES ALL AROUND IT. WE HEARD SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS WHICH THE FIREFIGHTERS SAID WERE MY TIRES AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CANISTERS. THE FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE

THE SUNROOF KEEP LEAKING WATER TO THE TRUNK. I GOT IT REPAIRED 3 TIME. THE ISSUES HAPPEN DURING A RAINSTORM OR GOING TO A CARWASH:

FUEL MIXING IN OIL SYSTEM, LOOSING POWER THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACIDENT.

I PURCHASED THIS 1.5 TURBO AND FOUND OUT LATER THE GASOLINE FLOWS INTO THE OIL PAN MIXING TOGETHER. HONDA SAYS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND I DISAGREE . WHILE PURCHASING THIS HONDA , THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MENTIONED THIS SITUATION. I FEEL THAT I PURCHASED THIS HONDA CR-V , 1.5 TURBO UNDER FRAUDULENT TERMS. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WHEN GASOLINE IS MIXED WITH OIL, THE OIL PROTECTION IS REDUCED PROPORTIONATELY. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, (XXXXX) 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).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 58 TO 45 MPH INDEPENDENTLY. DON AYRES HONDA (4740 LIMA RD, FORT WAYNE, IN 46808, (260) 484-0551) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700.

THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL INCREASES AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN. CHANGED OIL AFTER 7500 MILE INTERVAL, AND THE USED OIL WAS 1.2 QUARTS MORE THAN WHEN FIRST INSTALLED. OIL IS BEING DILUTED

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MP/HR I NOTICED A LARGE METAL PLATE THAT A UTILITY COMPANY HAD USED TO COVER A HOLE IN THE ROAD. AS THE CAR APPROACHED THE PLATE, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY, THROWING ME VIOLENTLY FORWARD IN THE SEAT. THERE WERE 2 CARS BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO AMERICAN HONDA CLIENT SERVICES WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND ASKED THAT THE CMBS FEATURE BE DISABLED BECAUSE I FEAR IT WILL ACTIVATE AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AT SOME POINT, CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND, OR, A REAR END COLLISION. THEY SAID THAT THE FEATURE COULD NOT BE DISABLED. IT COULD ONLY BE SHUT DOWN BY AN ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH. HOWEVER, IT AUTOMATICALLY RESETS WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. BECAUSE OF THIS UNEXPECTED AND VIOLENT EXPERIENCE, I FEEL THAT THE CMBS IS A DANGEROUS FEATURE AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'M ASKING THAT THE NHTSA GET HONDA TO FIX THE CMBS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2017 HONDA CRV TODAY WITH OUR YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER AND A SPRING SUDDENLY POPPED OUT AND FELL ON THE FLOOR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OR REVERSE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND MAKE IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AND THE CRV REQUIRING TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE SERIOUS GAS IN OIL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN AN AREA WITH SEVERE WINTER WEATHER AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. ONCE PULLED OVER, I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BANG OCCURRED WHEN MY SUNROOF HAD SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED.

ENGINE OIL DILUTION. SMELLS GAS. OIL LEVEL HIGHER THAN MAX. SOME LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. ALL HAPPENED BEFORE 5K MILES. LESS THAN 700 MILES ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR THE SAME REASON. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES STILL SAME PROBLEMS.

WHILE CHANGING THE OIL MYSELF AT 14,00 MILES I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL WAS MORE THAN A HALF INCH ABOVE THE FULL LINE AND SMELLED OF STRONGLY OF GASOLINE I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER CRV OWENERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONAS 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. AFTER READING ABOUT THE ISSUE I WAS REMINDED OF TWO INSTANCES THIS PAST WINTER WHEN THE VEHICLE CABIN SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE, BOTH TIMES WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC.

VEHICLE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A LOCAL STREET WHEN THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE BRAKING AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. NOT A SINGLE VEHICLE OR OBJECT WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR.CAR CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. HAD TO VEER OFF ONTO CENTER OF THE ROAD ONTO LEFT TURN ONLY LANE TO AVOID REAR CAR CRASH. DANGEROUS CONDITION. LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE EVENT TILL CAR CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT WEATHER-TIGHT AND ACCUMULATE MOISTURE FROM WASHING THE CAR OR FROM RAIN. AT NIGHT WHEN USING THE HEADLIGHTS, THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS FOGS UP FROM THE COLLECTED MOISTURE AND REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THERE WAS ALREADY A LAYER OF DUST ON THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION OF IT. AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS MORE AND MORE DUST COLLECTS. OBVIOUSLY, THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A DECENT HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM STARTING FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. I HAVE PUT THE DATE OF PURCHASE AS A DATE OF OCCURRENCE.

THE DESIGN OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A SHARP EDGE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. MY ELDERLY MOTHER RECEIVED A MINOR LACERATION ON HER LEG FROM THIS DOOR. THE DOOR TRIED TO GET MY BROTHER'S LEG NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT HE WAS WEARING JEANS SO NO LACERATION. THESE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED IN JAN & FEB OF 2019 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING USED TO CARRY PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE IS NORMALLY JUST USED FOR THE DRIVER WITHOUT HAVING PASSENGERS.

THERE ARE RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY: 1. NUMEROUS TIMES THE DISPLAY HAS GONE FULL FREAK-OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE DISPLAY TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF, ATTEMPTS TO ADJUST ITS OWN BRIGHTNESS AND REPEATEDLY BEEPS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE MADNESS IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNCOOL THING TO HAPPEN WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC AROUND THEM. PLEASE ALSO REFERENCE NHTSA COMPLAINT #11132814 FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. 2. EVEN THOUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN SENSITIVITY IS SET THE HIGHEST LEVEL, SOMETIMES YOU MUST PRESS THE 'CYBER BUTTONS' REPEATEDLY BEFORE THE UNIT REGISTERS THAT YOU HAVE PRESSED A BUTTON. WHILE I AM MOTORING DOWN THE ROAD PRESSING FAUX BUTTONS 10-15 TIMES TO TRY TO GET THE UNIT TO DO SOMETHING GUESS WHERE MY EYES ARE NOT'YEAH, ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME WHERE MY EYES SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY/CONTROL UNIT IS WORKING PER SPEC.

ENGINE STALLED AFTER MORE THAN 2 HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVE; AFTER 20 MINUTES BREAK THE ENGINES RAN AGAIN; THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE OVER LAST 2 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS EXTREMELY DIRTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER BROOKDALE HONDA (LOCATED AT 6800 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN 55429, (612) 424-7830) WHERE FUEL WAS FOUND ON THE OIL DIPSTICK. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUEL AND OIL DILUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09533542. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,495. *BF *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING AT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY FLASHED THE BRAKE WARNING AND THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHED A FULL STOP. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS AS THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLE IN MY PATH. NO CAR WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE EITHER. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN RANDOMLY STARTS FLASHING AND BEEPING. WITH THE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL BAR POPPING UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A BIG SAFTEY ISSUE FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY I BELIVE IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AND THE CAR HAS AN ANDROID PHONE ATTACHED HOWEVER I AM UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. MY VEHICLE HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE REPORT ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS HAPPEND TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. I REPORTED THIS BY TELEPHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA AS WELL 0N 05/30/2019 . I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE THAT ONETIME THIS WINTER I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING OR SNOWING THAT DAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE.

TAILGATE WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACKSEAT AND WITHIN SECONDS HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOKED UP AND OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT WAS STILL ALL IN TACT, JUST SHATTERED. I LOOKED AT THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY IT WOULD HAVE SHATTERED. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR A LARGE CHUNK FROM THE MIDDLE FELL INTO THE CAR.

RADIO SCREEN RANDOMLY STARTS ADJUSTING ITS BRIGHTNESS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 4/32/19, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN ALL WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO TO MAKE IT STOP OTHER THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING BECAUSE IT IS CONSTANTLY BEEPING WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT. I TRIED TURNING THE RADIO OFF, THIS DID NOT HELP. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HIT THE DIM BUTTON ON THE SCREEN, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS IS TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY/ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE ENGINE OF OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5 L TURBO) SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST, THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY PORTLAND, OREGON, STREET ON A DARK AND RAINY OCTOBER EVENING. THANKFULLY, THE DRIVER OF THE CR-V MANAGED TO GET OFF THE STREET AND ROLL INTO A GAS STATION WITHOUT GETTING REAR-ENDED. THE CR-V WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS "OIL LEVEL ABOVE SPEC." RISING OIL LEVEL IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2017-18 HONDA CR-VS, CAUSED BY DILUTION OF CRANKCASE OIL WITH UNBURNED GASOLINE DUE TO AN ENGINE DESIGN FLAW WELL KNOWN TO HONDA. DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME/PLACE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE RECALLED IN THE U.S. THEY ALREADY BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA!

WE PURCHASED THE 2018 CR-V AND JULY OF LAST YEAR. AT THAT TIME WE HAD TWO CHILDREN AND EXPECTING A THIRD. WE KNEW ALL THREE KIDDOS WOULD FIT IN THE CRV'S BACKSEAT. WHAT WE CAME TO FIND OUT AFTER NEEDING ALL THREE SEAT BELTS, WE REALIZED THAT THERE CANNOT BE THREE PEOPLE SAFELY BUCKLED AT THE SAME TIME. MAKING OUR 5 PASSENGER CAR REALLY ONLY A FOUR PASSENGER CAR. THE BUCKLES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE MIDDLE SIDE ARE CRISS-CROSSED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT ALL THREE OF OUR CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA AND OUR DEALERSHIP WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY EXPECT ME TO KEEP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 CRV-EX THE DASHBOARD INFO DISPLAY WILL RANDOMLY ADJUST BRIGHTNESS AND TURN IT ON/OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IT IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. WILL DO IT TWICE IN ONE DAY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
