Forward collision avoidance, Aug 26, 2021
Was driving over railroad tracks when BRAKE warning suddenly came on screen causing automatic braking. This lead to a sudden and complete stop causing vehicle to almost be rear ended. Nothing was in the road that should have caused the collision mitigation system to trip and apply the brakes. Nothing appears wrong otherwise or since the sudden braking

While driving on the NJ turnpike dashboard lights came on indicating system issue with adaptive cruise control, road hazard mitigation system and brake system. Went to the dealer and they said the radar needed to be replaced at a cost of $1300. Research on the internet indicates this is a problem with many 2017 Honda CRV's and class action lawsuits have been launched across the country. i believe there should be a recall on the 2017 Honda CRV since it is affecting so many vehicles. Thank You.

On a number of occasions the AEB has activated out of nowhere. Most often this has occurred when approaching an underpass, maybe the AEB is detecting the shadow of the bridge? It very scary as it beeps loudly and the breaks come on suddenly, causing me to jerk forward unexpectedly. This is potentially very dangerous when at high speeds. This has happened to me again today while on a straight highway road at 70 mph with no car in front of me and thankfully no car behind. In total this has happened about 15-20 times in the past three years.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 HONDA CRV LAST NIGHT AND OUT OF NOWHERE, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACROSS THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING DISABLING TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND EMISSIONS SAFETY, AMONG MANY OTHER ERRORS. THESE SYSTEMS PROVIDE SAFE DRIVING SO THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR USE, AND ALSO FRIGHTENING TO HAVE DEACTIVATED WHEN CRUISING DOWN THE STREET IN DOWNTOWN DENVER, SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE CAR HAS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT ON, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT FIX IT AND SO IT WILL NEED DEALER REPAIR. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH 2017-2018 HONDA CRVS AND IS AFFECTING A LOT OF OTHER DRIVERS. THIS CAR FEELS VERY UNSAFE IF ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS KICK ON AND OFF AS THEY PLEASE, SEEMINGLY AT RANDOM.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER ORDINARY CONDITIONS, WARNING SYSTEMS BEGIN. THE FIRST WARNING IS TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE AWD SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING. FROM THAT POINT, MANY DIFFERENT WARNING MESSAGES BEGIN SCROLLING WITH REPEATED WARNINGS OF ALL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR FAILING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS APART. ALSO, ON ONE OCCASSION, WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH TO CAUTION A SLOW DOWN, AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES ON ANY SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO "RESET" ITSELF, AND NORMAL OPERATION IS RETURNED. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED DURING NORMAL CITY DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35 MILES PER HOUR.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THEY WILL GO OFF AT TIMES, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART MY CAR. IN ADDITION, MY DISPLAY WILL GO DIM OR GET VERY BRIGHT ON IT'S OWN. ON FEBRUARY 27, 2021 MY ALARM STARTED TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON. THEY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NO ONE WAS NEAR THE REMOTE. I COULD NOT GET THE ALARM TO GO OFF, NO MATTER WHAT I DID. ON MONDAY, MARCH 1ST I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START OR RESPOND TO ANYTHING WITH THE REMOTE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, VALLEY HONDA IN MONROEVILLE, PA. THEY STATED THAT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY HAVING LOW VOLTAGE. THE DEALERSHIP IS OVER 45 MINUTES AWAY AND I NEEDED A VEHICLE TO HELP CARE FOR MY ILL FATHER SO I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND INSTALLED IT LATE MONDAY NIGHT. AS SOON AS I STARTED THE VEHICLE ALL OF THE DASHBOARDS LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON WEDS NIGHT. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BODY CONTROL MODULE. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 50K MILEAGE BUT THE HONDA WARRANTY IS OUT. I EVEN CALLED HONDA WHO ONLY OFFERED A COURTESY PARTIAL PAYMENT, AS LONG AS I DID NOT PICK UP MY VEHICLE UNTIL THEY FINISHED THEIR INVESTIGATION. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR MY DISPLAY TO HAVE BEEN ACTING UP OR A NEED TO REPLACE A BCM WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD!

MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME. MECHANIC CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT HE RESETS THE COMPUTER AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF....TEMPORARILY! THE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL I GO BACK TO THE MECHANIC. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...IF I GO THERE, IT'LL COST A FORTUNE FOR THEM JUST TO LOOK AT IT, AND THEN ANOTHER FORTUNE FOR CHARGING TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM. CAR IS STATIONARY...HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. I LIVE IN TUCSON, AZ, SO I DOUBT IT'S THE WEATHER!

MY HONDA CR-V THREW UP WARNINGS ABOUT ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION PROBLEM, ELECTRIC BRAKE PROBLEM, TPMS ETC. AND MY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW IT ALMOST ALWAYS THERE. VEHICLE HAS SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC THRICE SINCE THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED IN OCTOBER 2020.

RECENTLY REPLACED BATTERY IN SUMMER OF 2020. GAVE THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION A JUMP AND UPON STARTING, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SOME OF THE SMART VEHICLE CONTROL. ONCE BATTERY WAS INSTALLED LIGHTS WENT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUOUSLY APPEARED ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING. THESE LIGHTS HAVE TO DO WITH CRUISE CONTROL, HILL START ASSIST, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE AT FIRST, IT WAS THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE GIVING A FALSE POSITIVE, BUT NOW, IT IS CONFIRMED THAT THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT THE LIGHTS ARE INDICATING ARE NOT WORKING POSING NUMEROUS SAFETY CONCERNS. HONDA CORPORATION AND HONDA DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT DEALT WITH OR PROPOSED ANY SOLUTIONS ON THE MATTER. LIVING IN A WINTER CLIMATE, ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS VITAL AND AFTER A RECENT SNOW EVENT, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL POSING GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AT ALL TIMES AS LONG AS THE IGNITION IS ON, REGARDLESS OF STOPPED OR ACTIVELY MOVING.

CAR BRAKES SUDDENLY WITHOUT CAUSE. BRAKES ARE APPLIED ABRUPTLY SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH VISUAL WARNING. NO OBSTACLE PRESENT. THIS OCCURS AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 30 MPH) ON CITY STREETS. SEEMS TO BE TRIGGERED BY BRIGHT LINES ON ROAD SURFACE (RAILROAD TRACKS, RUMBLE STRIPS) PERPENDICULAR TO TRAVEL DIRECTION.WHEN USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL CAR MISINTERPRETS VEHICLE IN DECELERATION LANE ON INTERSTATE AS BEING PRESENT AND SLOWING IN TRAVEL LANE IN FRONT OF IT. THIS RESULTS IN RAPID DECELERATION IN THE TRAVEL LANE. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY VEHICLES FOLLOWING CLOSE WHEN THESE EVENTS OCCUR. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM.

THE SAFETY FEATURE REACTS TO SHADOWS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES WHERE IF I'M DRIVING UNDER A BRIDGE THE CAR WILL BEEP AND SHOW A MESSAGE ASKING ME TO HIT THE BRAKES. I THINK THE CAR SEES THE SHADOW OF THE BRIDGE ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AS AN OBJECT AND IS ASKING ME TO STOP/ HIT THE BRAKES. IF THE CAR EVER APPLIES AUTOMATIC BRAKING, THEN THE CAR BEHIND ME CAN SLAM INTO ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

COMPUTER FAILURE RESULTING IN MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGE'S AND WARNING LIGHTS. LOSS OF ANTILOCK BRAKES, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKES, AUTOMATIC COLLISION BRAKES, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION, HILL ASSIST, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, POWER STEERING PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER, THEY CLAIMED SOFTWARE ISSUE AND DID AN UPGRADE. PROBLEM IS BACK. I RESET THE COMPUTER BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. A FEW DAYS LATER PROBLEM RETURNS. DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE DRIVING OR PARKED. IT HAS FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED WITH ENGINE RUNNING. ERROR REQUIRES A COMPUTER RESET TO CLEAR IT. PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED OVER A YEAR AGO AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY..

1. VEHICLE INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKED TO A FULL STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE MOVING AT SLOW SPEED BOTH TIMES. OCCURRED IN JULY 2019 AND JAN 2021 INFORMED DEALER BOTH TIMES. VEHICLE INSPECTED AFTER THE FIRST TIME AND INDICATED SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT ALARMING THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IF THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND US. 2. NO LONGER USING CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE CAR INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKES. THE CAR HAS SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH WHERE WE HAD TO PRESS THE GAS TO AVOID A COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKING OCCURRED WHEN THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. WE DID NOT NOTIFY THE DEALER OR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE AND COULD NOT BE FIXED BY A TECHNICIAN. 3. ON THE HIGHWAY, PASSING CERTAIN EXITS TRIGGERS THE LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, FORCING THE CAR TO BRAKE. WE HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY THROUGH THE TROUBLE SPOTS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW CERTAIN EXITS BECAUSE THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AS WE DRIVE NEW ROADS. WE VERBALLY COMMUNICATED THIS TO HONDA CORPORATE AND THE DEALER IN JAN 2021, AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR AND TO SEE THE MANUAL FOR LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM. I DID RECEIVE CONFIRMATION THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS CONCERN AS WELL. THE SAFETY FEATURES HAVE TRIGGERED ENOUGH FALSE POSITIVES FOR US THAT WE NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THE FAMILY AND ONLY WHEN NEEDED. SINCE WE HAVE OBSERVED OTHER REPORTS NOTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, WE ARE ASSUMING THAT THERE IS A TREND AND OTHERS SHARE THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS.

THE CAR INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKED, FULL STOP, TWO TIMES. THE LAST EVENT OCCURRED ON JAN 9, 2021. WE REPORTED BOTH INCIDENTS TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IN JULY 2019, AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPLICATE. WE WERE INFORMED THE CAR IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE SECOND DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALER (JAN 11, 2021) RESULTED IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF ADJUSTING THE SENSOR LENGTH UNDER CUSTOMIZE FEATURES. IT WAS DESCRIBED AS A POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT BUT NOT A GUARANTEE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE WILL MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT TONIGHT. BOTH OCCASIONS, THE STOP OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LUCKILY NO ONE BEHIND. IT WAS ALARMING THAT A SAFETY FEATURE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA CORPORATE'S RESPONSE WAS THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND SEE THE MANUAL FOR THE LIMITATIONS. WE NO LONGER USE THE CAR FOR THE FAMILY.
