FOWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE - WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITION, THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY APPLY BRAKE BY ITSELF ACTIVATING THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE "BRAKE" WARNING COMES-UP IN THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD TO PROVIDE A VISUAL WARNING. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN-FRONT AND ANTICIPATED FRONTAL COLLISION. THIS ABRUPT AND RANDOM BRAKING CAN CAUSE A REAR-END COLLISION.
Electrical system, Aug 4, 2018
THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. AUDIO CONTINUES TO PLAY WITHOUT DISPLAY. PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON SOMETIMES RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT SOMETIME IT REQUIRES TO HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED-OFF TO GET THE DISPLAY BACK.

FOR THE THIRD TIME, SINCE BUYING THE CAR NEW, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. THIS TIME POWER STEERING WAS ALSO LOST WHICH COULD'VE CAUSED A CRASH. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE AGAIN. HONDA SELLS RODENT TAPE AND I'VE USED IT BUT CAN'T TELL WHERE THE RODENTS WILL EAT. I BELIVE THIS IS DUE TO THE SOY-BASED INSULATION AND OTHER PARTS IN THE CAR AS NONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EVER HAD THIS ISSUE AND I LIVE IN A RURAL ENVIRONMENT. VEHICLE WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN'WAS TEMPORARILY PARKED OUTSIDE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE DISPLAY IN THE MIDDLE GOES BLANK WHILE I AM DRIVING A LOT. LAST TIME I WAS BACKING OUT WHEN IT DID WHICH CAUSE MY CAR TO HAVE SERIOUS SCRATCHES ON IT. AT THE SAME TIME THE BACK UP SEEMED NOT TO BE WORKING EITHER. MY SON MADE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING ONE TIME WHEN HE IS IN THE CAR. ALSO THE RADIO IS LOCK AND DOES NOT DISPLAY WHAT IS PLAYING LIKE IT USE TOO. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I AM SWITCHING LANE WITH MY BLINKER ON THE CAR WILL NOT LET ME DO IT AND ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN EVEN IF THERE IS NOT OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD. I HAD A 2012 HONDA CRV THAT MY SON DRIVE AND NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEM. MY 2017 CRV TOURING IS BY FAR NOT AS WELL MADE SINCE I HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

FIVE TIMES THE BATTERY DRAINED COMPLETELY WITH NOTHING ON, AFTER SITTING UNUSED, GARAGED, OVER NIGHT OR AFTER ONE DAY UNUSED. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE FOURTH INCIDENT, THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE FIFTH INCIDENT, ONE WEEK LATER, THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CLAIMED ONLY A .002 MILIAMP DRAW.
Electrical system, Apr 20, 2018
PURCHASED CAR 1/18. TOOK 10 DAY VACATION CAR WAS PARKED DURING THAT PERIOD. CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD WHEN WE RETURNED. HAD AAA JUMP CAR AND TOOK TO DEALER. BATTERY CHECKED AND TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS FINE 6 DAYS LATER BATTERY DEAD HAD HONDA SERVICE TOW CAR TO DEALER. HAD FOUND HONDA TSB 17-032 ONLINE DESCRIBING A BATTERY DRAIN FROM VSA MODULATOR. MADE COPY FOR DEALER BECAUSE THEY WERE 'UNAWARE OF PROBLEM' ASKED THEM TO FOLLOW THE TSB SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE WHICH THEY DID BUT WHEN THEY TESTED BATTERY THERE WAS STILL A DRAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND INFORMED ME I NEED TO DRIVE CAR EVERDAY TO KEEP IT CHARGED, THIS IS OUR SECOND CAR AND IS NOT DRIVEN EVERYDAY AND WE TRAVEL WHICH MEANS THE CAR MAY NOT BE DRIVEN FOR 10 DAYS OR MORE THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT WE NEED TO ACQUIRE A BATTERY CHARGER BECAUSE MOST LIKELY THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. IT SEEMS THAT THE 2017 CRV HAS AN ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. IT PULLS ON THE BATTERY EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF. IS HONDA GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I GET IN THE CAR I WONDER IF THE CAR WILL START AND THIS AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 540 MILES ON IT.
Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Apr 18, 2018
DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED. SUDDENLY VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY HESITATE AND THEN SLOWS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE (MORE THAN 10 MPH). INDICATORS READ THAT ALL SYSTEMS HAVE FAILED. PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE DOWN. WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR TOWING TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT HONDA STATED IT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN COLD WEATHER (I LIVE AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NORTHERN WI - LAME EXCUSE. WHEY SELL THEM HERE IF THEY DON'T WORK IN THE COLD). THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND VARIOUS OTHER ENGINE PARTS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE SATELLITE RADIO RECEIVER REPLACED (IT BURNT OUT). THERE WAS FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. ALL THIS WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON THE 2017 HONDA CR-V. NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE. IT RUNS NOW, BUT THE ENGINE IS MUCH LOUDER WITH A NOTICABLE CLICKING NOISE THAT WASN'T THERE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS PLANNING A MAIDEN VOYAGE FROM WI TO SEATTLE, WA (TO VISIT ELDERLY MOTHER WHO LIVES THERE) BUT LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE'S RELIABILITY. WHAT IS MY FIX FOR THIS? DEALERSHIP BALKED AT THE SUGGESTION OF REPLACING THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER ONE. OVERALL, I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE AN AUTOMOBILE COMPLETELY FAIL IN TRAFFIC. LIMPING OFF THE ROADWAY AT A MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SPEED OF 10 MPH IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER AND THE MAKINGS FOR POSSIBLE FATAL CONSEQUENCES. HONDA SHOULD BE LOOKING SERIOUSLY INTO THIS ISSUE AND NOT MAKING LAME EXCUSES LIKE THIS HAPPENS TO THE CR-V IN COLD WEATHER ([XXX]). THEY SHOULD ALSO BE PROVIDING COMPENSATION TO OWNERS WHO PURCHASED THESE LEMONS IN GOOD FAITH EXPECTING THE DEPENDABILITY OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, PAYING (IN MY CASE) AT LEAST $29,000.00 FOR THAT EXPECTATION AND NOT ENDING UP WITH SOMETHING THAT DUMPS FUEL INTO THE ENGINE OIL AND THREATENS THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY (3) PASSENGERS AT THE TIME 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).

MARCH 14,2018 DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD,APPROACHING A RAILROAD TRACK, VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. BRAKE COLLISION MITIGATION FLASHED ON DASH. SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK. I TURNED ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS FOR SAFETY. ONCE IN PARK AND RETURNED TO DRIVE, ABLE TO CONTINUE. MY RIGHT ANKLE SPRAINED DUE TO FORCE OF STOP WHILE PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR. MY TEEN IN THE BACK SEAT SUFFERED WHIPLASH. THANKFULLY NO CAR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US.

MY CAR IS A 2017 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE AND 3200 MILES. ON 3/18/2018 I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 180 IN PENNSYLVANIA WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED, LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS REPORTED MALFUNCTIONS IN THE DASH DISPLAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH EXCESS GAS (APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART) IN THE OIL. THE OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, AND A TECH LINE CASE (REF # 4089104) WAS OPENED WITH HONDA. I WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO PERMANENT RECALL OR FIX. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN COLD CLIMATES WHERE THE CAR IS USED FOR SHORT DRIVES AND DOES NOT WARM UP COMPLETELY. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT ALL CRVS WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES DID NOT WORK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE IRVINE IN IRVINE, CA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,980.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HEAT UP WHEN IDLING WHICH MEAN REMOTE START TO CLEAR THE ICE FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND WARM THE CABIN DOES NOT WORK. HONDA TOLD ME IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN TO PRODUCE HEAT. THEY'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK DOWN A DECLINE FOR 8 MILES. AFTER 4 MILES THE ENGINE GAUGE BEGINS TO RISE AND THEN BY THE TIME I REACH 8 MILES (BOTTOM OF THE HILL) THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BOTTOMS OUT BACK DOWN TO THE COLD. THE HEAT THAT MAY HAVE STARTED HOW EVER FEEBLE IS NOW ONCE AGAIN COLD. ANY ICE ON THE WINDOWS IS STILL THERE BECAUSE THE WHOLE CAR INSIDE IS STILL COLD. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE HEATED SEATS I'D FREEZE TO DEATH. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME TO TAKE MY CAR ONE MORNING AND SAW THIS HAPPEN. HE WAS TOLD BY HONDA THE ENGINE DOESN'T PRODUCE HEAT WITH OUT A LOAD ON IT. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD NORTH OF OHIO. IT IS UNSAFE. I ALSO HAVE A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN MY OIL THAT WILL SOON BE TAKEN IN FOR. ALSO, THE SAFETY FEATURES ALL BECOME INACTIVE BECAUSE OF A LITTLE RAIN OR SNOW. THE HONDA DEALER RECALIBRATED THEM BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. THE LACK OF HEAT ON IDLE IS UNACCEPTABLE THOUGH.

JUST AS WE WERE APPROACHING THE 4000FT DESCENT TO THE VALLEY FLOOR, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP WITH MULTIPLE WARNINGS, THE FIRST BEING MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE WHICH WAS FIRST SOFT, THEN IMMEDIATELY BECAME HARD TO PRESS DOWN TO STOP THE CAR. A SMALL TURNOFF ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED. MULTIPLE WARNINGS CONTINUED ACROSS THE SCREEN. SHUT OFF THE CAR TO RESTART THE COMPUTER, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. SAME MESSAGES. CHECKED EXTERIOR OF CAR, TIRES, OIL. ALL WELL. TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TESTED FOR EBB AND ESB FAILURE, ECU FAILURE. ELECTRONIC BOOSTER WAS REPLACED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM BLED. HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR 7 DAYS. YESTERDAY WE PICKED UP THE CR-V, HAVING BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS REPAIRED AND READY TO GO. WE DROVE AWAY, BUT LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALER/SERVICE LOCATION, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED - INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP MULTIPLE WARNINGS WITH BRAKE THE MOST EMPHATIC. I WAS NOT BRAKING WHEN THE WARNING CAME, BUT IMMEDIATELY BRAKED TO GET OFF THE ROAD. AGAIN THE GRINDING SOUNDS AND DIFFICULTY PRESSING HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR. CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND WE DO NOT TRUST ANY REPAIR AT THIS POINT. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON THE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND ARE NOT WILLING TO RISK OUR LIVES AGAIN.
