2018 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO FULLY ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR, A WALL, AND INTO THE STEPS NEAR THE MUD ROOM OF THE HOUSE. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY, INCLUDING THE ARMS, HIPS, BACK, AND MINOR BRUISING. MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

CAR ACCELERATES RAPIDLY, SURGES FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION.

NOTICED FUEL ODOR IN CAR AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS OVERFILLED, I THOUGHT, THEN NOTICED IT RAN OFF THE DIPSTICK LIKE WATER. IT SMELLED LIKE PURE GASOLINE AND WAS RED BROWN IN COLOR. CAR HAS 2054 MILES ON IT. REPORTED TO MY HONDA DEALER AND HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED. THEY, ROSEBURG HONDA, TOOK MY PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR OTHER INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING MONDAY, 08/27/18, MY CAR ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH IN TOWN DRIVING, NOT THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ABOUT 4 OR SO CAR LENGTHS. THERE WERE CARS TO MY RIGHT AND THE REAR BUT NONE WERE SO CLOSE THAT I WAS IN DANGER OF HITTING THEM NOR THEY HITTING ME. THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNING ON THE DASH. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME RESISTANCE WITH THE STEERING BUT UNSURE AT THIS TIME. I'VE LOOKED ON-LINE AND NOTICED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AND THERE IS NO FIX. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HONDA CARS OF MCKINNEY AND WENT TO SPEAK TO SERVICE DEPT ON 8/30/18, TO SEE WHAT REMEDY THEY CAN SUGGEST. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

FATAL ACC/LKAS "HONDA SENSING PROBLEM" WITH "AMBER WARNING LIGHT" ON DASH, AND SYSTEM ALL LOCKED UP WHILE ON I75 ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. WHEN I EXITED AT THE LIGHT, I TURNED-THE-CAR OFF AND IT CLEARED THE ERROR MESSAGE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. NEW CAR. ONLY 1-DAY OLD. CALLED AND REPORTED TO DEALER BUT NOT RESPONSE YET. APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY VIOLATION BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. RECOMMEND PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT WITH HONDA.

DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR BLURRY/SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ANY SPEED GOING OVER BUMPS; WHICH CAUSES SOME VISIBILITY CONCERNS- INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN CHANGING LANES. NOTICED IT DAY AFTER PURCHASE OF NEW CAR. DEALER REPLACED JUST THE MIRROR-DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, THEN DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE MIRROR ASSEMBLY-DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, TECHNICIAN AT DEALER ALSO TEST DROVE MULTIPLE NEW 2018 CR-V'S ON THE LOT AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM ON EVERY CAR HE DROVE. AFTER MUCH LOBBYING/BEGGING(TO THE DEALER AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE) FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED/FIXED, HONDA SENT OUT A FIELD ENGINEER TO EVALUATE, WHO TEST DROVE MY CAR AND 2 OTHER NEW LOT 2018 CR-V CARS, FOUND MIRROR VIBRATION AND BLURRINESS IN ALL CARS WITH SOME VARIABILITY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF VIBRATION/BLURRINESS, OR "TOLERANCE" EXPECTED, UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED WITHIN A TOLERABLE RANGE. OFFERED TO REPLACE MY MIRROR ASSEMBLY WITH ANOTHER NEW CAR MIRROR ON THE LOT WHICH APPEARED TO VIBRATE LESS(BUT STILL WITH SOME BLURRINESS AT TIMES) WHICH I DID--SOME IMPROVEMENT BUT STILL SEE SOME MIRROR VIBRATION/BLURRINESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NEVER HAD A NEW CAR WHERE I AM SUPPOSE TO EXPECT AND TOLERATE SOME DEGREE OF DRIVER SIDE MIRROR BLURRINESS. WHILE ITS IRRITATING AND DISTRACTING, I BELIEVE IT MORE IMPORTANTLY REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD; ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT ON MANY CARS IF NOT ALL 2018 HONDA CR-VS. **WILL SEND

AT ABOUT 810 MILES ON ODOMETER, I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER 2 TIMES AND LEFT CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS THE SECOND TIME. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS GAS SMELL IS NORMAL IN THE ENGINE OIL. I ALSO NOTICED OIL IS TURNING BLACK AND THE LEVEL IS RISING (DUE TO GASOLINE ENTERING THE CRANKCASE. DEALER DROVE IT ABOUT 200 MILES AND WHEN I GOT CAR HOME, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL WAS WORSE AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE FULL MARK (DUE TO GASOLINE ENTERING INTO ENGINE OIL. THIS POSES A VERY DANGEROUS THREAT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE OR THE GASOLINE IN OIL COULD START A FIRE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL.

AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. UPON ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION WITH OIL DILUTION (GAS GETTING MIXED IN WITH OIL). WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL, THE LEVEL WAS OVER WHAT IS SHOULD BE AND THE DIPSTICK SMELLED OF GAS.

FOR THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET.

2018 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. *LD *JS

I HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD CRV. SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN FEB 2018, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE BLUETOOTH HANDS-FREE CALLING FUNCTION. I CAN HEAR CALLS FINE, BUT THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END CANNOT HEAR ME DUE TO BACKGROUND/AMBIENT NOISE. THE ISSUE IS SPECIFICALLY EXACERBATED BY SPEED - 40 MPH AND ABOVE, GETTING WORSE AS I DRIVE FASTER. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO FIDDLE WITH MY PHONE TO TAKE THE CALL OFF BLUETOOTH. OBVIOUSLY NOT IDEAL FOR SAFETY. FURTHERMORE, I MADE A 911 CALL ON JULY 4, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 911 OPERATOR COULD NOT HEAR ME!! I HAD TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE THE PHONE OFF BLUETOOTH IN ORDER TO BE HEARD. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA DIRECTLY AND TO MY DEALER/SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE CENTER ALSO CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THE ISSUE, AND WERE ADVISED BY HONDA ENGINEERS TO REPLACE THE MICROPHONE, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. NEVERTHELESS, THE ISSUE PERSISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUTWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LUTHER HOPKINS HONDA, 250 5TH AVE S, HOPKINS, MN 55343), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED INAPPROPRIATELY WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH, ON A CLEAR DAY, STRAIGHT ROAD WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. "BRAKE" DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH NO WARNING ALERTS AT THE TIME THE FULL BRAKE CAME ON. DRIVER AND PASSENGER THROWN FORWARD, LOCKING SEATBELTS.

RISING OIL LEVEL DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF OIL WITH FUEL AND WATER, 2018 HONDA CRV EX. ON JUNE 18, 2018, WHILE MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, EVERY COMPUTER ASSISTED WARNING UNEXPECTEDLY EVENTED ON THE DASH (HILL ASSIST, ACC, COLLISION MITIGATION, BRAKE SYSTEM, CEL, TPMS, ROAD DEPARTURE, TRACTION, POWER STEERING, VSA), THE CRV IMMEDIATELY AND HARSHLY SELF-BRAKED (OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE DRIVER). THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL DETERMINED THAT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL IN THE DIRECT-INJECTED EARTH DREAMS 1.5L REACHING A LEVEL OF 21MM ABOVE THE CURRENT LIMIT (THE RESOLUTION GIVEN BY HONDA TECH-LINE WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER EVERY 500 MILES). HAD MY WIFE BEEN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SHE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED, INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DIRECT-INJECTED 1.5L EARTH DREAMS TURBO ENGINE. HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR IT, AND CAN ONLY RECOMMEND THAT WE CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES. TO DATE, SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE ON 6/18/2018, WE'VE HAD THE CRV BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AN AVERAGE OF EVERY 2 WEEKS (7/5/2018, 7/19/2018, AND 8/3/2018). WE'LL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP BY 8/17/2018 FOR YET ANOTHER OIL AND FILTER CHANGE, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WHEN UNDER CRUISE CONTROL, DUE TO THE OIL CONTAMINATION, THE RISING OIL LEVEL, CAUSING THE UNEXPECTED FIRING OF COMPUTER ASSISTED FEATURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY CAME TO A STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD (4095 CRATER LAKE HWY, MEDFORD, OR 97504, (541) 930-3021) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700.

DRAINING BATTERY SUSPECTED PARASITIC DRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTED TO START YESTERDAY AND THE BATTERY HAS LOW CHARGED (~7 VOLTS FROM MULTI-METER). THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS SINCE LAST USE. JUMPSTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH A JUMPER CABLE AND WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. AFTER DRIVING THE BATTERY HAD ABOUT ~14 VOLTS READING. THE VEHICLE IS ~10500 MILES UNDER NORMAL USAGE. PURCHASED SEPT 2017. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS ~7-8K MILES.

2018 HONDA CRV-EX - STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL - TOTAL MILEAGE 1600. TOOK CRV TO DEALER TODAY TO CHECK GAS SMELL IN OIL. TECH CONFIRMED STRONG GAS SMELL IN OIL AND VERY BLACK AND RUNNY (THIN WATERY LIKE). THE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS FIRST LIKE EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW CRV - HE SAID HE'D EXPERIENCED OTHER ONES. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED A SAMPLE OF MY OLD OIL ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT HE HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ANYWAY, WE WILL CHANGE OUR OIL VERY OFTEN UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS HOPEFULLY, SAFELY RESOLVED. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE "FUEL IN OIL" ISSUE.

PURCHASED CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2018. NOTICED HEAT DIDN'T GET VERY WARM, AND WOULD COOL OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR ON A DOWNHILL. WINTER IN DELAWARE WAS NOT SEVERE IN JANUARY. AROUND 2200 MILES, I CHECKED MY OIL, FOUND IT ABOUT A HALF QUART HIGH, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. OIL IS ALSO VERY DARK, NEARLY BLACK. 1/2 QUART EXTRA GASOLINE IN OIL SUMP OF 3.7 QUARTS, MEANS ABOUT 12% OF THE OIL WAS GASOLINE. THIS PRESENTS 2 MAJOR DANGERS: FIRE HAZARD FROM EXCESS GASOLINE IN OIL, AND ENGINE FAILURE, DUE TO LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HONDA TWICE, AND 2400 & 4000 MILES, BOTH TIMES, THEY CONTACTED HONDA TECHLINE, AND PROVIDED AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE FREE OF CHARGE. I AM MINIMIZING MY USE OF THIS VEHICLE, HOPING HONDA WILL PORT "THE CHINA SOLUTION" TO THE US SOON. AS HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM IN THE US OR CANADA, IT WILL LIKELY BE UP TO THE REGULATORS OR LAWYERS TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. NHTSA - PLEASE STEP UP, REQUIRE A SOLUTION, BEFORE WE START FINDING BURNING HONDAS ON THE ROADSIDE.

VEHICLE IS LOCKED OVERNIGHT. KEY FOB IS ON STORAGE HOOK. IN THE MORNING, THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF ARE OPEN WITHOUT DRIVER INTERVENTION. HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT OTHER TIMES AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE "QUICK COOLDOWN" FEATURE WHICH IS SOMEHOW BEING ACTIVATED RANDOMLY WITHOUT DRIVER INTERVENTION. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN PUBLIC AREAS. HONDA DENIES PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARGURUS.COM, SUGGESTING A CHRONIC PROBLEM. IN MY SPECIFIC CASE, REPLACEMENT OF THE KEY FOB SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD STILL BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO DISENGAGE THIS PARTICULAR FEATURE.

WENT TO START THE CAR, PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BUT THE KEY DID NOT TURN, I THOUGHT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED ON ME BUT THAT WAS MOT THE CASE, THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE AFTER 5 DAYS STILL REMAINS. THEY EXPLAIN THAT THE KEY CYLINDER COMPONENT IS BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. WAITING FOR THE PART AND ALL LOCKS IN THE CAR HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE, TPMS, PARK, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH MILLS HONDA (8465 MN HWY 210, BAXTER, MN 56425, (218) 825-7525) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

OVERFILLED OIL LEVEL WITH GAS.

NEW 2018 CR-V WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY. WITH SOME REPORTED ISSUES WITH OIL DILUTION REPORTED ON 2017 CR-V MODELS I KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE OIL LEVEL. NO ISSUE BEFORE OR AFTER THE 1ST OIL CHANGE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. (6000MILES) THIS WEEK AFTER A RANDOM CHECK ON THE OIL LEVEL I DISCOVERED IT WAS WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVEL OIL LEVEL WITH DEFINITE GASOLINE SMELL. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OVER (10000 MILES) AFTER COMPREHENSIVE TESTING INCLUDING EACH INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER THEY COULD FIND NO ISSUES. (HONDA TECH LINE WAS INVOLVED)THE DEALER SERVICE REP COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A FREE OIL/FILTER CHANGE AND SENT ON MY WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO WORK AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN HOME (40 MILES TOTAL APPROX.) AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK TODAY AND THE LEVEL IS RIGHT WHERE THE ORANGE PLASTIC INDICATOR PIECE MEETS THE METAL DIPSTICK. ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN. OIL WAS VERY SOUPY DRIPPING FROM DIPSTICK (NORMAL 0-20W OIL DOES NOT DO THIS) SO JUST OVERNIGHT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED, NOT IN A COLD CLIMATE. NO EXCESSIVE IDLING SINCE YESTERDAY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. I THINK THE REASON MORE PEOPLE HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS IS MANY HAVE NOT CHECKED THEIR DIPSTICK/ OIL LEVEL. AND WHY WOULD YOU IF YOU ARE DRIVING A NEW CAR. OIL IS BREAKING DOWN THE LUBRICATION OF THE OIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY FOR A CAR WITH A TURBO WHICH DEPENDS ON THAT OIL. TICKING TIME BOMB FOR HONDA AND

I WAS PULLING MY HONDA CRV INTO A SHORT DRIVEWAY TO PARK IN FRONT OF A CLOSED GARAGE DOOR. MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 5 MPH. AS I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHIN 5-6 FEET OF THE CLOSED GARAGE DOOR, THE ENGINE REVVED AND CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I COULD NO LONGER FEEL THE ACCELERATOR DIRECTLY UNDER MY FOOT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE DID NOTHING TO STOP THE CAR. ACCELERATION CONTINUED, CAR WENT THROUGH GARAGE DOOR AND CRASHED INTO CONCRETE WALL AT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING WHEN CRASH OCCURRED. GIVEN THE SHORT DISTANCE, MAYBE 20-30 MPH. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO ISSUE WITH FLOOR MATS OR OTHER OBJECTS NEAR THE ACCELERATOR.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WEST BOUND IN THE MORNING, NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT WAS AN OVERCAST DAY. I HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON. FOR NO REASON AT ALL MY CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, DID A MODERATE NOSE DIVE AND LOCKED MY SEAT BELT. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR FOR AT LEAST A 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE IN FRONT OF ME. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. I QUICKLY DISENGAGED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FLOORED THE GAS, AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT FROM THE REAR. I HAD THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH A 2016 HONDA CIVIC TOURING, AND EVERY TIME I REPORTED IT, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BLAME SUNLIGHT, EVEN IF THERE WAS NONE WHEN IT HAPPENED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

SIDE MIRROR REAR VISIBILITY, PARTICULARLY THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PREPARING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE, ONE CAN NOT SEE THE WHITE LINES TO GUIDE YOU IN. OUR PREVIOUS 3RD GENERATION (2007-2011) CRV HAD SUPERB SIDE MIRROR VISIBILITY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT HONDA'S DANGEROUS AND INCONVENIENT DESIGN FLAW IS TO OFFER "REVERSE TILT DOOR MIRRORS", WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TILT DOWNWARD WHEN REVERSING. IRONICALLY, HONDA, OFFERS THIS FEATURE IN OTHER COUNTRY MARKETS, BUT NOT ON ANY US MARKET CRV TRIM LEVELS. THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR APPEARS TO BE EXCESSIVELY ANGLED BACK, NOT STANDING OUT ADEQUATELY TO ALLOW A CLEAR VIEW ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. AS A RESULT, I CAN ONLY SEE THE CAR'S BULBOUS (OUTWARDLY CURVED) RIGHT SIDE. THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR CAN/MUST BE MANUALLY LOWERED TO SEE WHERE ONE IS BACKING, WHICH MOST PEOPLE WON'T DO, AMOUNTING TO A SAFETY HAZARD. AS FOR THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, ATTACHED AT A SEVERE BACKSWEPT ANGLE, IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TILT IT DOWNWARD AND SEE THE REARWARD PATH. I'M EXTREMELY TROUBLED OVER THIS GLARING SAFETY ISSUE. VISIBILITY IS A KEY ELEMENT TO SAFE DRIVING, AND AM SHOCKED THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED.

REAR MIDDLE AND LEFT SET BELTS ARE CROSSED WHICH PREVENTS LEFT SIDE (BEHIND DRIVER) PASSENGER FROM BUCKLING UP.

PARKED MY CAR AT A EATING ESTABLISHMENT DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM AND HIGH WIND WAS INSIDE ABOUT 10 MINUTES CAME OUT TO FIND ALL MY WINDOWS HALF WAY DOWN AND SUN ROOF OPEN SEATS SOAKED WATER STANDING IN SEATS FLOOR BOARD DASH SPEAKERS SOAKED WHAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN NO PICTURES WAS RAING TO HARD TO GET THEM WAS TRYING TO GET CAR HOME TO DRY OUT INTERIOR

THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECTOR HAS NO INDICATOR ON IT. ADDITIONALLY, DEPENDING ON ANGLE DRIVER IS SITTING, IT APPEARS TO BE IN A DIFFERENT GEAR OR POSITION THAN ACTUAL SELECTION. I HAVE HAD THREE NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS DESIGN. FROM BEING IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLING DOWN HILL BACKWARDS WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD IT IN DRIVE, TO BEING IN NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF PARK. AFTER 30 YEARS OF DRIVING, THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I'VE DRIVEN THAT HAD NO INFICTATOR TO SHOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN.

ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION WHEN THE OIL DIP STICK WAS PULLED, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING OUT OF THE DIP STICK HOLE, AND IT SHOWED THE OIL WAS OVERFILLED WITH FACTORY OIL IN THE ENGINE. IT WAS OVERFILLED BY AT LEAST 1/4 INCH. WHEN THE ENGINE OIL WAS DRAINED DURING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 5827 MILES, THE OIL HAD A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE OIL SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS ALMOST NO VISCOSITY LEFT, AND DRAINED LIKE WATER OUT OF THE CRANKCASE. THE ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE.

2018 HONDA CR-V EX - WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED AND GLASS BITS FELL INTO CAR. SUNROOF WAS NOT HIT BY A ROCK. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR US ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 7 DAYS AGO (580 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT). SUNROOF GLASS WAS BOWING OUTWARD AFTER EXPLOSION.

HONDA 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IS GETTING ABNORMAL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AND WATER IN THE OIL. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WITH MOBIL 1 WAS JET BLACK AFTER 4,300 MILES OF USE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS 10,000 MILES. THE MOBIL 1 ENGINE OIL HAS BROKEN DOWN BEFORE 5,000 MILES.

WHEN I STOP ON LEVEL ROAD AND TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES FROM 700 RPM TO 1000-1100 RPM UP TP 7MPH.THATS WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE CAR.REPORT SAYS "VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE TILL REACHES7PH THEN DROP TO IDLE SPEED.THIS IS VEHICLE NORMAL OPERATION CONDITION.NO REPAIR NEEDED."THEY SAID ALL SYSTEMS ARE AT FACTORY SETTINGS.I'VE OWNED CARS FOR 55 YRS. AND NEVER HAD ONE DO THIS.THEY MIGHT ROLL SLIGHTLY BUT NEVER ACCELERATE.I FEEL IT IS A POSSIBLE DESIGN SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.IF YOU TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE YOU CAN REAR END SOMETHING OR KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE.THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS EVEN UP HILL AND EVERY TIME TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE.IF THIS IS FACTORY SETTING SOMETHING IS NOT RITE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, A CRASH OCCURRED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE, BRAKE SYSTEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN HER AND CAUSED HER TO SLAM INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND HIP INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,076.

THIS VEHICLE HAS "PUSH TO START". IF THE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. I FORGOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AFTER PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, AND I HAD TO GO BACK INTO THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. THE AUTOMAKER NEEDS TO ADD AN OPTION TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. THEY ALREADY OFFER A FEATURE TO LOCK THE CAR WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY, SO MUCH OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND TESTED.

TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD AND THERE WAS NO DEBRIS OR IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS BREAKAGE. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY INFANT SON WHEN THIS OCCURRED. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SHADE CLOSED.

THE ENGINE IS MAKING OIL AS WE DRIVE IT. THERE IS A GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. WE DONT DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES WITH IT LIKE THE DEALER SAID WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN

DOOR ACTUATOR IN RIGHT REAR DOOR KEEPS DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. REPORTED TO HONDA, PURCHASED VEHICLE USED

VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AND STANDING BESIDE THE CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AFTER REFUELING AT GAS STATION. I DID NOT SEE ANY SPILLED GAS OR ANY LEAKS. SMELL GOT WORSE INSIDE THE CAR ON THE 3 MILE DRIVE HOME AND WAS VERY STRONG WHEN I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE. I CHECKED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND THE SMELL HAD DECREASED ABOUT 50%.

PARKED CAR ON LEVEL GROUND AFTER DRIVING, WAITED 1 HOUR THEN CHECKED OIL VIA THE DIPSTICK WITH 1500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE THE FULL MARK AND STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. HAD FOOT ON THE BRAKE IN A PARKING SPOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE ENGINE RACED AND THE CAR PROPELLED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB AND STOPPED WHEN HITTING A TREE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED, AND THE BRAKED DID NOT HOLD IT. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HONDA HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, AND 1800 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO GET THE CAR, SINCE SOMEONE MAY BE KILLED THE NEXT TIME THE CAR DECIDES TO ACT UP. PLEASE HELP

ON DECEMBER 12, 2017 AT ABOUT 4:30 PM, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND PUT MY CAR INTO A PANIC STOP WHEN I WAS NOT ABOUT TO HAVE A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DRIVING EAST ALONG A 4 LANE UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY IN THE RIGHT LANE (SLOW LANE) AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WAS GREEN. THERE WAS A CAR AHEAD OF ME IN THE SLOW LANE AT THE SIGNAL, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS 5 OR 6 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THIS CAR AND IN NO DANGER OF COLLIDING WITH HIM. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A FULL PANIC STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NO COLLISION WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES, BUT MY RIGHT HIP AND LOWER RIGHT BACK WERE SORE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR. ON THE DEALER'S SUGGESTION, I SET THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE TO "SHORT"; IT HAD BEEN SET AT "NORMAL", THE FACTORY SETTING. MOST DAYS I MANUALLY TURN THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM OFF BEFORE I DRIVE, BUT ON THE DAYS I HAVE FORGOTTEN, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE SET TO "SHORT". I BELIEVE THAT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, HE MAY HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE BACK OF MY CAR AND CAUSED ME FURTHER INJURY. I THOUGHT FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, I SHOULD REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU.

AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. I HAVE SINCE READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITES WHERE OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, I CAN SMELL GAS ON THE DIPSTICK. I AM AWARE HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE U.S. AS WELL AND DO IT IMMEDIATELY.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 FULLY LOADED TOURING CR-V 3 DAYS AGO ON MONDAY. FILING THIS REPORT ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 35 MILES ON IT AS I WRITE THIS. WE DROVE ROUGHLY 25 MILES TOTAL SINCE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER HEARING ABOUT OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL TO SEE IF IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE JUST IN CASE. FYI, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT IT ACTUALLY DID SMELL, BUT IT DIDN'T JUST SMELL A LITTLE. IT SMELLED LIKE WHEN YOU GET GASOLINE ON YOUR HANDS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PAPER TOWEL IN HAND. EVERY SALESPERSON AND TECHNICIAN I HANDED THE PAPER TOWEL TO CONFIRMED THE OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK THAT WAS WIPED ON THE TOWEL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. THEY ARE REVIEWING THE PROBLEM,AND HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT IT DUE TO MY CONCERNS. SOUNDS MORE SERIOUS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME. I AM CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS KNOWN IN CHINA AND JAPAN WILL GROW TO BE LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NHSTA. CHINA HAS HALTED SALES OF THE CR-V UNTIL THEY CAN DETERMINE A REASONABLE FIX. APPARENTLY A RECALL TO ADJUST SOFTWARE TIMINGS WAS NOT ENOUGH. ALSO SHOULD MENTION HONDA CANADA IS MONITORING THIS AND SENT A BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS.

THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA CRV, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEPING ASSISTANCE AND LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION THE VEHICLE STARTED BRAKING AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND THEN ALL THE WARNINGS WENT ACROSS THE DASHBOARD FOR EXAMPLE: BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, PARK WARNING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WARNING, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST WARNING TO NAME A FEW. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE TRIED SEVERAL RESETS BUT EVERY TIME WE GET THE CAR BACK IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

LEFT HOUSE TO FIND ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND THE SUN ROOF PARTIALLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS ON THE DRESSER IN THE HOUSE. CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE.

OIL DILUTION IN THE ENGINE! GAS FUMES SMELL IN THE CABIN DUE TO IT!

ENGINE DOES NOT START DASH BOARD SHOWS ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES. AFTER 10-15 MINS IT WORKS FINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND KEPT OVERNIGHT TO FIX. NO SOLUTION PROVIDED. RAISED 2 TICKETS WITH HONDA THEY ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND STOPPED CONTACTING ME FOR SOLUTION. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FACING THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CONCERNING THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM CAME ON WITH MALFUNCTION WARNINGS, PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF, THEN RESTARTED THE MOTOR AND THE WARNINGS WENT OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR CODES, THERE WERE NONE. MY QUESTION, IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN LOOKING AT THE HONDA FORUMS ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV'S. I DON'T LIKE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO GET THE COMPUTER TO REBOOT. MY HONDA SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT WE WOULD MONITOR THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE THAT I'D DUE IN OCTOBER 2018. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA MOTOR IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE THAT IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A FAMILY TO BE PUT IN.

OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS LIKE GAS. THE CAR CABIN SMELLS LIKE GAS AND IT BASICALLY STINKY UNLESS THE CAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN. GARAGE ALSO SMELLS LIKE GAS WHEN CAR IS PARKED.
