2019 Honda CR-V complaints

Incident happened on 7/2/2022 at approximately 9:45 pm. I was driving on a 3 lane street with light traffic. Speed approximately 40mph and no vehicles in front of me when my car suddenly had the automatic braking system stop the car. All 4 passengers jolted forward and fortunately no injuries as well as no car behind to cause a collision. I feel this is extremely dangerous and could have caused a major accident or injuries. Planning to bring car in to dealership for further evaluation as well

I was driving at approx 20 miles per hour and the automatic braking system activated and the car came to an immediate stop. Luckily the car behind me was at a sufficient distance - or this would have been a rear end collision. This was extremely frightening and I found it difficult to drive the rest of the way home. I took side roads instead of the highway. This is a very terrifying incident that could potentially have resulted in a serious accident to myself, my passengers and others. My lease ends in December 2022 but I don't feel I can ever safely drive this car again.

While driving felt sticking of the steering wheel when only turning left on curves or at a red light or stop sign. This occurred sporadically over a three month period but became more pronounced the last month prior to taking the vehicle to the dealership. Dealership discovered the issue was the electric power steering (EPS) had failed. This occurred 3 months after 36 month warranty had expired and 3,000 miles over the mileage limit. No warning light was displayed when issues occurred. Diagnostics was performed by dealer and fault code 32xx thru 34xx confirmed the problem was the EPS control unit. Had the unit replaced due to safety concerns when driving with family. Because of the electric system there was no way to conduct preventative maintenance. Called Honda corporation and a "Good Will Case" was opened (#13019826).

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Emergency Automatic Braking erroneously activated and applied the brake, causing the vehicle to abruptly decelerate. During the failure, there were no vehicles or objects nearby to cause the system to become activated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,630.

The Automatic Emergency Braking System failed. I was driving and the car automatically braked to a complete stop on its own. No "bRAKE" light came on before, the car just braked on its own, no warning. Luckily there was no car behind me this is a street people usually drive 60 on!!! Everything flew off my seats and it hurt my entire body

We were driving on the interstate in Las Vegas with no cars in front of us for at least 300 ft when the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged fully. Scared us to death but luckily we did not get rear ended.

While driving the emergency brake system activates and brings my car to a complete stop. It happens intermittently. The most recent was during a trip the week of June 6,2022-it occurred approximately three times on our way home. Fortunately I saw the brake light flash and tapped the brake to avoid it from coming to a complete halt. We were traveling about 60mph! I even pulled off the road and turned the car off and back on again to see if that would help! Additionally I had to turn the lane keep assist off because it malfunctioned a few weeks ago-it kept trying to pull my car outside of the lane I was in-it acted as though I was drifting out of my lane. I almost lost control of the car.

On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center. But they don’t seem to be interested in anything but body work.

Car applied brakes without warning in 2020 while driving on the freeway

The automatic braking system came on for no reason while I was driving on the highway T 65MPH.

I was driving slowly (25 mph) through an intersection when the car suddenly beeped and flashed "BRAKE" and slammed on my brakes. Another car almost hit me as he was not expecting me to stop in the middle of the intersection. All of my things inside the car flew around and the abrupt stop hurt me and my daughter in the back seat.

Out of nowhere all the warning lights on dash board came on and the parking break was automatically applied. Fortunately I was not driving at the time.

Automatic emergency braking engaged when there was nothing in front to brake for. This has happened 8 - 10 times in the last two years. The car is available. Sudden braking with nothing to brake for startles me but no injuries. I contacted the dealership but they have not checked the vehicle. No one has inspected the vehicle. When the automatic braking engaged the "braking" light came on as brakes engaged but no warnings prior to it engaging for no reason.

ON June 14, 2022 my 2019 Honda CRV slammed on the brakes without me touching the brake pedal. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed My safety was at risk because I was thrown forward violently. My safety and the safety of others were at risk because if there had been a car behind me, they would have hit me. I have not taken it to a service center yet. I have not had time. There were no warnings. I was going about 30 mph, I do not believe the BRAKE warning sign alighted but I can't say for sure because I was being jolted forward. There was no one around me on the road and luckily no one behind me. I read the Feb 24, 2022 CNN Business article “Random braking in Honda Accord and CR-V under investigation” and found this is exactly what happened to me. Please let me know if there are any updates you can share or if Honda is doing anything to alleviate the problem.

ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON DASH, BRAKES, POWERS STEERING , CRUISE CONTROL ANTI LOCK BRAKES ,LANE DEPARTURE ECT. THIS HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO WORK SHUT OFF CAR TWO DAYS REMAINED ON. ON THE WAY HOME LIGHTS WENT OUT. WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. MADE APP AND AWAY IT WENT, APON ARRIVING TO DEALER , I EXPLANIED THATTHE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 150 DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTICS. TOLD THEM I WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH FULL COVERAGE, DIDNT MATTER. THEY ASKED IF CAR WAS RUNNING OK AND I REPLY YES. BUT ALITTLE CONCERNING TO HAVE ALL LIGHTS FLASHING AT SAME TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY ONCE AGAIN LIGHTS CAME ON A MONTH LATER SAME THING WITH DEALER MAKE APPOINTMENT. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR HONDA IT WAS HAPPENING TO THERE 2017. PLEASE CHECK INTO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WARNING LIGHTS.

My tire pressure light has gone on 10 plus times in the last year and I think only 3 times my tire was actually low on air. This is a safety feature because you need your tires to drive. The dealer has advised they can’t find an issue with the sensor etc and keeps telling me it’s the tread etc and wants to show me how to recalibrate the system. I worry every time I get into the car that the light is going to go on and hear a binging sound. It’s very nerve wracking because I only have just shy of 34k miles on the car and it continues to happen. If I ignored it and turned out there was a flat then I cause more damage to the vehicle. I would never consider taking it on a long ride just because of this issue. I don’t want to know how to recalibrate I want it fixed.

In two instances, while driving in the city street (cloudy day, daytime) around 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly went into emergency breaking with no obvious reason. The breaking light flashing in the dashboard. No car in front at all. The car almost went to total stop. The system went back to normal less than a sec later. Everything was normal before it happened. I was lucky because no car was behind me when this happened. Did not take to dealer.

Automatic emergency braking glitch. Car suddenly stopped with nothing in front and without driver's control. The car behind us narrowly avoided a rear ending collision.

While driving on the highway at approximately 50MPH my 2019 Honda CR-V suddenly braked hard on its own, with no vehicle in front of me. Luckily there was no one behind me either or it would have likely caused me to be rear ended. It was a frightening experience, also causing neck pain for a few days afterwards. I reported the issue to Honda.

I was driving at 35 mph on a city road. All of a sudden, I heard several beeps and saw a brake signal on the car incident panel come up. My CRV braked automatically and slowed to 25 mph. There was no car behind me, thank goodness. The brakes released and then the CRV drove as normal. There was no indication before the braking system engaged that this incidence would occur except for the beeps. There was no reason for my CRV to engage the emergency braking system. There was not a car in front of me or any other obstruction that would cause the automatic braking system to engage. It was a scary experience.

Driving on road and all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking. We have don't automatic breaking. The dash lights came on. Engine, steering wheel !, traction control, brake system, and blinking brake light. The last few days it was taking more cranks, this started happening after a new fuel pump was installed last month. This was because of a fuel pump recall.

Car has stopped twice with no cars or objects in view. Would have been hit from the rear if other cars were close.

Automatic Emergency Braking system engaging without warning when no obstacle is in front of car. Very sudden, aggressive automatic braking puts my safety and that of other vehicles/drivers at risk of collision (rear-ending me). This has happened three times in the past week. I called dealer and they professed to have no knowledge of the problem. I am hesitant to bring the vehicle in for a “fishing expedition” if a repair shop doesn’t know what the problem is and definitely how to fix it.

The audio head unit software or hardware is defective. The unit resets repeatedly like someone is pressing the brightness button over and over again (beeping wildly). The problem is well described online as extremely common in newer Hondas. Honda has a TSB on it https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10163184-0001.pdf However, the dealers often won't replace these unless they can see the problem themselves, which only happens intermittently (in my case, I have many videos of the problem). But when it does it is an extreme safety hazard disabling the navigation system, climate controls, and other controls controlled by the head unit. Many people in online forums have had their units replaced multiple times to no avail. Honda should be forced to recall these defective audio head units. At the very least dealers should be instructed to fix the problem when videos of it are shown to the dealer.

Couldn't hardly BREATHE AS SEVERE FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR VENTS. AND OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS . I had been smelling it off and on but thought it was coming from cars around me! This smell has been going on a few days. But car was parked all day, moved it a couple of feet and the fumes about made me throw up and couldn't breath. Call Honda they said it was drill under warranty and it would get fixed.

While operating vehicle at roughly 35-40 mph automatic braking system engaged for no reason. There was no one in front of me and thankfully no one behind me or I could have been struck from behind. My car also will not start now due to a message saying brake system problem. Will start if jumped but then will not start again.

Without any warning or apparent cause the sunroof just shattered.

Oil dilution issue in my 2019 Honda CRV. Gas getting into the oil and stalling the vehicle. Honda dealership changed oil, spark plugs and differential fluid. I was told to drive the vehicle more. The issue was not fixed and gas is still getting into the oil and continuing to damage the engine. The dealership hasn’t taken responsibility of this issue or the Honda Corporation. I contacted them and get no response back.

Touchscreen flashes and beeps. Brought it in to the Honda dealer twice and they said they did a hard reset of the screen. The vehicle was 6 months old with less than 4,000 miles when the issue started in January 2020. It happens intermittently and Honda has not been able to fix it. Today 5/11/22 the screen has gone completely blank. Now there is no rear back up camera, no climate control, no vehicle information or settings, no maps or radio information.

While driving on expressway at posted speed of 70 mph, while there was no vehicle in front of me, my car went into emergency brake mode. This has happened several times but most commonly on expressways.

I was driving at about 10:30 PM in downtown Chicago (the bridge over the river on Madison St) on May 4th when my automatic emergency braking system engaged. There were no cars or people in front of me on the street, nor was there any other object that I was in danger of hitting. I was driving at approximately the speed limit. There was a car behind me but luckily they were far enough back that when I pressed the foot brake and turned on my hazards, they were able to go around .

I am an able to open the back trunk and there’s no secondary way to open it if I would need to get in or out. Also the doors randomly lock.

The Automatic Emergency Braking engaged for no reason .

I was driving down the street when the brake warning light flashed and the car suddenly slammed on the brakes. There was nothing in front of the car that would have caused the brake warning to flash or the car to brake. Luckily there were no other cars around, however, if I was traveling faster or on a busy street it could have been a very different outcome.

Automatic emergency braking system activating without a clear and present danger.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Afternoon of 4/21/22, I was stopped at light and brake hold activated without being touched. 20 minutes later I was again stopped at a light and parking brake engaged and vehicle would not move until I disengaged brake. This is the 1st time this has happened and vehicle has not been inspected since incident. Brake warning light has flashed to BRAKE Several times when approaching an overpass ( this has occurred many times over the last year ).

I was driving into a parking lot behind my store, as I approached my parking space going roughly around 5-7mph the brakes engaged by itself for a brief second (as if i had slammed on the brake pedal and let go) leading me to lose control and hit the wall/back door of my store. All warning lights are now on, damaged the front bumper and I'm guessing the radar sensor in the front. Called my insurance to try to file a claim, if not covered will try to contact the dealership.

Single internal 4" long windshield crack developed starting at the Honda Sensing safety suite sensor block built into the top of the windshield. This crack is growing in length on the passenger side of the windshield and is currently about 9" long. There were no windshield overheating or freezing issues (the crack originally appeared on 04/14/2022), no car incidents, or road hazards (like something hitting the windshield). My car is still under warranty but local Honda dealer refused to even take a look at the windshield condition stating that Honda's warranty does not cover windshield.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his spouse was driving approximately 5 MPH in the driveway, the power steering and brakes became inoperable. The service brakes and several other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was related to the wiring harness in the rearview mirror. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

While driving on the interstate highway at about 70 mph, with the adaptive cruise control activated, the "BRAKE" warning flashed and the brakes were applied, causing the car to slow about 10-15 mph. I manually applied gas to resume speed, and then re-activated the adaptive cruise control. The weather was sunny, about 80 degrees. There were no cars, or anything, in front or behind me for at least a half mile. There was nothing next to me on the berms. I don't recall if any cars were approaching in the opposite direction. This has occurred at least twice since, once on the interstate and once at about 35 mph on a non-interstate highway. The conditions were similar in each case. This could certainly cause a disastrous accident if there were more traffic. Since this happened somewhat rarely, I have not brought it to the attention of the dealer. I still own and drive this car.

I was driving on a city street at around 30 mpr with no cars in front or behind me when my CRV came to sudden jerking stop and then continued forward. It was so abrupt that my head snapped forward and I slid toward the steering wheel. Luckily, no one was behind me otherwise, I would have been rear ended. This has created a great fear in driving my CRV. I still intend to contact the dealership and report directly to Honda.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while in a building he heard a loud explosion. Upon going outside, he noticed the vehicle seat was on fire. The fire was extinguished by the owner. The fire department was contacted and stated the fire may have been started in the passenger seat due to the coils. There were no reported injuries or police reports filed. The contact stated the heater in the seat was previously used. The contact had some items on the seat. The contact mentioned that he had his dog in the vehicle and could have died due to the safety failure. The vehicle was towed by the insurance company. The contact called the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42, 800.

There is a recall on some "NOT" all 2019 Honda CRV -( Recall consequence: Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.) While driving my car started to stall and act up like it had bad gas, the dashboard then lit up with every warning possible. I was able to get my car to the dealership I purchased it from. They did the recall search and Zero open recalls for my 2019 honda were found however the mechanic stated it was the fuel pump which is the same problem listed above for the other 2019 CRV. Please investigate and Please help!.

Multiple times, while driving, the automatic braking system engaged when there were no cars or obstacles ahead of me. Most recently I was accelerating, and the brakes slammed on throwing me rapidly forward. The car behind me was driving the same speed nearly rear ended me.

Auto Braking System - Yesterday at night while driving at 45mph the Auto Braking System activated by itself inspite of no obstacles anywhere near me and the vehicle came to a complete standstill in the middle of the highway. I was lucky there was no vehicle behind me else I was for sure going to be rear ended. Lane Keeping Assistance System - The Lane keeping assistance activates itself even though it has been turned off. The vehicle forces me to stay in lane many times when there is a change in traffic pattern and also when you cross over a line just to stay safe from a vehicle that is crossing over a line on one of your sides. This is dangerous.
