THE ENGINE OIL CONSTANTLY FILLS WITH GASOLINE, RAISING THE FLUID LEVEL MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED LEVELS ON THE DIPSTICK. THE OIL VISCOSITY IS ALSO CHANGED, WHICH WILL CAUSE UNDUE ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR. THERE IS ALSO A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE OF THE CABIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEFROSTER IS ON. *TR

CAR BATTERY WILL DIE IF THE CAR IS NOT USED FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE DAYS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED MANY TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL ONLY FOR THE CAR TO DIE A FEW DAYS LATER. WE PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2017. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS INTO OWNING THE CAR. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE, ON NUMEROUS INCIDENTS, HAD TO JUMPSTART THE CR-V DUE TO A DEAD BATTERY. I HAVE JUMPSTARTED THE VEHICLE THE NIGHT BEFORE (MAY 17TH) TO WAKE UP TO A BATTERY WITH A 5 VOLT CHARGE (MAY 18TH). AFTER I JUMPED THE CAR ON THE 17TH, I ATTACHED MY VOLTMETER TO THE BATTERY AND WITNESSED A DISCHARGE OF 0.01 VOLTS EVERY 2 TO 3 SECONDS. IN 20 SECONDS, THE BATTERY DRAINED FROM 12.56V TO 12.39V. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN THE CAR TO O'REILLY'S AUTO PART STORE TWICE TO TEST THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. BOTH PASSED. YESTERDAY, MAY 18TH, I HOOKED UP A SCANNER AND FOUND NO FAULTY CODES IN THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY WITH NO SOLUTION. I'VE ALSO REVIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING DEAD BATTERIES ON THE 2017 HONDA CR-V WITH NO REAL CAUSE. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO HONDA THIS WEEK TO SEE IF THE SITUATION CAN BE FIXED, BUT THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE A LEMON. *TR

AS OF MAY 13, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN MY LEASED 2017 CR-V TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR (4) TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON - THE BATTERY WOULD NOT WORK , HENCE THE ENGINE DID NOT START. THESE BREAKDOWNS OCCURRED AT : 9573 MILES, 9993 MILES, 17315 MILES AND MOST RECENTLY 21,703 MILES. EACH EVENT OCCURRED WHILE THE AUTO WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS COST UNDUE HARDSHIP. WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT, I WAS VERBALLY TOLD THE PROBLEM IS MY FAULT - SINCE I DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ENOUGH !!! I SHOULD INVEST IN SOMETHING CALLED A " TRICKLE CHARGER " AND PLUG THE VEHICLE IN DURING THE EVENING HOURS !!! QUITE INCREDIBLE! I MORE THEN ONCE LOUDLY VOICED MY CONCERNS. THE BASIC ATTITUDE HAS BEEN " YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN BUDDY "!!! HOPEFULLY, THE DEALERSHIP WILL BE CAUTIONED TO AVOID FALSEHOODS AND TO LEVEL WITH ITS CUSTOMER. MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH SENIOR CITIZENS . WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO NAVIGATE THE VIRUS EPIDEMIC AS BEST WE CAN! WE HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP OUR " TAINTED " LEASED PRODUCT WITHOUT SO MUCH AS AN APOLOGY. QUITE INCREDIBLE ! MY COMPUTER IS QUITE ELDERLY - HENCE I CANNOT FORWARD DOCUMENTATION BUT I CAN CERTAINLY MAIL SUCH. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR MUCH MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. *TR

THE MAIN SCREEN INSIDE THE CAB STARTED BEEPING, THEN THE SCREEN WENT DARK AND THEN TO FULL BRIGHTNESS AND STARTED SCROLLING THROUGH THE MENU OPTIONS WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE SCREEN. THIS WAS A BAD DISTRACTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE SCREEN CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND WHEN IT DID THIS I HAD NO CONTROL AND LOST EVERYTHING. IT CONTINUED DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

WE HAVE A 2017 HONDA CR-V. ON APRIL 29, 2020, I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF MY CAR. WITHOUT WARNING, AND ON ITS OWN, THE CAR'S ORANGE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A HARD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ITEMS ON THE BACK SEAT WERE THROWN TO THE FLOOR AND WE WERE THROWN FORWARD IN OUR SEATS IN THE FRONT ENOUGH THAT THE SEAT BELTS ENGAGED. THIS WAS INSTANT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THE CAR RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEAD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE AND THAT HONDA DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL FOR THIS YET. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE - FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS BEHIND US, BUT SUPPOSE THERE HAD BEEN OR WE HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MORE TRAFFIC AND LARGE TRUCKS.

1. NUMEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS CAR DRAINING A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED AND NEEDING A JUMPSTART. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT, LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, NOW THEY CAN'T GIVE ME THAT SAME REASON SINCE MY BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. 2. MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULDN'T DIM MAKING IT EXTREMELY BRIGHT AT NIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. HONDA HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. 3. MY CAR RANDOMLY FLASHES A COLLISION WARNING "BRAKE" WHILE BEEPING SO LOUDLY WHEN THERE'S ACTUALLY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHETHER I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR SIDE STREETS AND THIS I BELIEVE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PROBLEM OF ALL SINCE MY CAR HAS THE ABILITY TO BRAKE FOR ME IF IT SENSES A COLLISION, AND MY CAR BRAKING ABRUPTLY FOR NO REASON COULD BE WHAT GETS ME INTO AN ACCIDENT!

WE WERE TRAVELING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, TUESDAY, 4/28/2020, . OUR SPEED WAS 35 MPH. OUR HONDA CRV SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES OF ANY TYPE IN OUR PATH TO CAUSE THIS. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FAULTY SENSOR CAUSING THIS AND IT NEEDS TO REPAIRED/REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CRV'S, 2017 & 2018 MODELS..

2017 HONDA CRV PARKED IN GARAGE, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE DASH LIGHTS UP WARNINGS ON BRAKING SYSTEM, CRUISE CONTROL, LANE ASSIST, BATTERY AND MANY OTHER AREAS. CAR WOULD NOT START AND GOES DEAD WITH 3RD ATTEMPT TO START. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I MUST HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP; CAR HAS 4,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THIS INTERMITTENT CRITICAL FAILURE AND I SHOULD BUY A NEW CAR. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND A HAZARD. EVEN THOUGH I PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW, FOR EXTRA EXTENDED WARRANTY, REPAIR & MAINTENANCE PLANS, DEALERSHIP TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR.

I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO CHANGE FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THI INITIALLY HAPPENED IN A DRIVEWAY WHERE I WAS PARKED. SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC WERE FALLING OUT. I HAD TO USE A PEN TO ENGAGE THE SHIFTER AND THEN IT WOULD MOVE. AS I PULLED INTO MY STREET I HAD MAJOR DIFFICULTY USING REVERSE EVEN WITH THE PEN. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF OR LOCK THE DOORS UNTIL I DUG ALL THE PLASTIC OUT OF THE SHIFT DEVICE. I READ ALL DEALERS DIDN'T FIX FOR FREE SO WE ORDERED THE PART AND FIXED OURSELVES

BATTERY KEEPS DYING AFTER SITTING MORE THAN A SEVERAL DAYS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SINCE OWNING THE CAR; THE LAST TWO TIMES HAPPENED WITHIN A MONTH APART. HAD TO CALL AAA TO JUMP CAR EACH TIME.THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 23 MARCH 2020. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START CAR ON 24 APRIL, 2020, THE BATTERY APPEARED DRAINED AGAIN. NOTED THE MESSAGE ON DASH "BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM". MY CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND HAS SAT FOR LONG PERIODS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC QUARANTINE. ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE INDICATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE CAR RECEIVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN FEBRUARY/IMARCH 2020. I DECIDED TO CALL DEALER TO HAVE CAR PICKED UP AND REPAIRED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NOT A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 13,000 AND WAS PURCHASED NEW.

MY CAR RADIO/MAP CONSOLE WAS GOING CRAZY FOR A MONTH. HARD TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND BACK ON PROBLEM WENT AWAY. UNTIL 9/21/2018, THAT PROBLEM TRANSFERRED TO ON STEERING WHEEL MASTER CONSOLE WHERE EVERY ALERT WENT OFF FROM ENGINE, TIRE, ..., BRAKE--REALLY SCARED. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO MY NEAREST HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR AND FOUND THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY VTC. IN DOING SO, PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NOW IT MARCH 2020, SOME DAYS MY AUDIO/MAP CONSOLE GOES CRAZY. NOT SURE WHEN MY STEERING CONSOLE WILL GO CRAZY AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OR VIDOA BUT IF YOU GOOGLE IT OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM.

WE REPEATABLY HAVE THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAR (TUBO-CHARGED CRV) AND IN MY GARAGE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I'VE SEEN NO LEAKAGE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR BUT THE SMELL OF GAS IS OVERWHELMING. LIKEWISE IT IS A SICKENING SMELL IN THE CAR. I THINK THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I HAVE A GAS FIRED FURNACE AND HOT WATER HEATER IN THE GARAGE - I OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR TO AIR IT OUT FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THE GAS SMELL ISSUE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. FOR SAFETY SAKE WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE?

I HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY REALLY RECOMMENDED A EARLY OIL CHANGE. TWO WEEKS LATER I HAVE MORE GAS IN THE OIL. I NEVER DRIVE THE CAR LESS THAN 20 MILES AT A TIME. THE OIL IS ABOVE THE PLASTIC ON THE DIPSTICK AND ONTO THE METAL PORTION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA'S TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SIX YEARS UNLIMITED MILEAGE. I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT RUINS MY ENGINE. IF THERE'S TOO MUCH OIL IN THE ENGINE THIS COULD TRIGGER A ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THAT COULD BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. IF THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD BECOME A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 ABOUT 70 MPH, SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND SPEED DROPPED IMMEDIATELY TO 10-12 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A MINUTE OR SO THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL. I CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE NEXT DEALER AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE CAR. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND GAVE ME BACK MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED. ONCE AGAIN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY THEN CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED A FOULED SPARK PLUG, ADJUSTED THE FUEL INJECTOR SETTINGS AND REPLACED THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT. HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM LONG TERM.

MY 2017 HONDA CR-V ALLOWED ME TO TURN OFF MY CAR IGNITION, WHILE IN DRIVE MODE, WHEN I FAILED TO PUT IT IN PARK, WITHOUT ANY SAFETY WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. THERE IS A WARNING/ ALERT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE ON A VEHICLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A BELL, WARNING ALERT, IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE IN DRIVE MODE AND EXIT YOUR VEHICLE. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY WITH NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES IN FRONT, ALL HONDA SENSING SUITE FEATURES RANDOMLY FAIL AND TRIGGER A SERIES OF WARNING MESSAGES FLASHING SEQUENTIALLY ON THE HUD INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE FOLLOWING: LKAS, COLLISION MITIGATION, BRAKING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEMS. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND BRAKES FEEL UNRESPONSIVE BUT SOMETIMES ENGAGE TO STOP THE CAR EVEN IF STOPPING IS UNSAFE, SUCH AS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS IN FRONT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. RAIN, SUN, HILLS, TRAFFIC, NO TRAFFIC, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE SENSORS TRIGGER A FALSE POSITIVE THINKING THERE IS AN IMMINENT COLLISION EVEN IF DRIVING 35 MPH ON AN EMPTY ROAD. IT ALSO TRIGGERS WHEN FOLLOWING A CAR WITH WARNING TONES AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS REBOOTING ITSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF A FALSE BUT SELF-INDUCED CRISIS. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLISIONS BECAUSE THE CAR TOOK OVER CONTROL WHEN NOT NEEDED, ONLY TO TURN OFF ALL SAFETY FEATURES AND WARN THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED IT WAS A LOW BATTERY, BUT REPLACING WITH A NEW BATTERY DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEN TRIED TO CLAIM DRIVER ERROR AFTER DELETING TROUBLE CODES, WITH NO EXPLANATION HOW "DRIVER ERROR" CAN CAUSE THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES TO DISPLAY ON THE HUD AS ALL OF THE PLAINTIFFS OF A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SAY THE SAME THING.
