TOOK CRV INTO DEALER DUE TO ENGINE OIL SMELLING STRONG OF GASOLINE. WAS TOLD THEY LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND COULD NOT DETERMINED WHY AND THAT THE ODOR WAS NORMAL. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO HAVING A TURBO ENGINE YET TOLD MY VIN # FALLS INTO THE EFFECTED "OIL OVER FULL' ISSUE AND I HAVE AN EXTRA YEAR OF POWER TERRAIN WARRANTY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, OIL LEVEL WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY ELEVATED. NOTHING WAS DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR OIL CHANGE. CRV ONLY HAS 19500 MILES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR RUNNING ISSUES. ENGINE OIL APPEARS DIRTY YET ONBOARD SYSTEM STATES THAT OIL LIFE IS AT 50%.

TWICE NOW THE CAR WHEN IN LANE DEPARTURE HAS SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. YESTERDAY THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME WHO HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA AND THEY BASICALLY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ME. ELECTRONICALY THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AND FLASHES CONSISTENTLY AND ONLY WILL RESOLVE WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SO I AM NOW WITHOUT A CAR.

THE SYSTEM PRODUCES FALSE POSITIVES AND TRIGGERS WARNINGS WHEN NO OBSTRUCTIONS ARE PRESENT, WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON HIGHWAY SPEED FLUCTUATES WITHOUT ANY VEHICLES NEAR BY. THE SYSTEM CAUSES NUMEROUS WARNING MESSAGES RANDOMLY. THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. CAR BRAKES WITHOUT PEOPLE ASSISTANCE. ALL THIS PROBLEMS HAPPEN A RANDOM TIMES AND WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DIVING RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEEDS (60+ MPH) AND WHILE TURNING IN VERY GOOD WEATHER ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIGHT UP (I HAVE A VIDEO) AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES ON THE HIGHWAYS AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD TO PULL OUT OF THE HIGHWAY STOP AND RESTART FOR THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN POWER BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE LIT. AFTER A COUPLE OF START AND STOP IT DISAPPEARS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP THRICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE REPLACED 2 SENSORS AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTS.

2017 HONDA CRV- EX / STALLING ON FREEWAY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ' [XXX] ON MAY 29, 2018, MY CAR WHICH HAS 16,0000 MILES ON IT, STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE ENGINE NOISE, CYLINDERS MISFIRING, LOSS OF POWER AND STALLED WHILE ON THE 405 FREEWAY, I BEGAN TO PANIC DUE TO FACT I WAS IN THE FAST LANE. I STARTED TO SMELL GAS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHILE CARS ARE STREAMING TO HALT TO AVOID A MULTI CAR PILEUP. I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR OR STAY IN, THAT'S WHEN I SAW AN 18 WHEELER BARRELING TOWARDS ME TRYING TO STOP. THIS TRUCK CAME 2 FEET FROM REAR ENDING ME. I WAS TO SHAKEN TO SPEAK FOR 5 MINUTES BECAUSE MY LIFE FLASHES IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD CONDUCT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL TAKE PLACE? HONDA'S MANAGER OF RECALLS, BRAD ORTLOFF, SAID OIL IN THESE ENGINES COULD BE DILUTED BECAUSE OF SOFTWARE SETTINGS OR POTENTIAL HARDWARE FAILURES. SOME VEHICLES COULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER, LEADING TO CYLINDER MISFIRES OR ENGINE NOISE. IN ADDITION TO THOSE SYMPTOMS, CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR ENGINES STALLED OR THAT THE VEHICLES EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, RAISING SAFETY CONCERNS. DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HAVING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE ' OIL DILUTION, RISING OIL LEVELS, STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, LTD HAS RECALLED 350,000 HONDA CRV'S IN CHINA & CANADA BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE DUE TO RISING SAFETY ISSUES. GIVEN THAT THE PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED, HONDA HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT MANNER. [XXX] CC: NHTSA CC: U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL CC: DEPT.

CR-V ROLLED BACKWARDS TWICE, ONCE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS OFF (OCT. 2018) AND ONCE WHEN IT WAS RUNNING (MAY 2019). BOTH TIMES THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I BELIEVE THE GEAR SHIFT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, PERHAPS BY MY BANGING INTO IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR 27 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I MOST RECENTLY DROVE A TOYOTA RAV4 WITH A SIMILAR LAYOUT IN TERMS OF LOCATION OF THE GEAR SHIFT. DROVE IT FOR 9 YEARS WITHOUT A PROBLEM.
Electrical system, May 30, 2019
NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY RANDOMLY CHANGES BRIGHTNESS AND BEGINS FLICKERING AND CYCLING THROUGH SCREENS WHILE BEEPING. THIS OCCURS DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHTTIME DRIVING, AND ON BOTH SHORT AND LONG TRIPS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE OR DO A "HARD RESET" WITH THE BATTERY. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS SIGNIFICANT DEFECT AND HAS NO FIX FOR IT. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING DURING SNOW/RAIN, THE VEHICLE RADAR SYSTEMS STOP FUNCTIONING AND A MESSAGE APPEARS THAT THEY ARE "OBSTRUCTED", WHICH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE INTENT OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE. GIVEN THAT THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CONTROLS A LOT OF THE SAFETY FEATURES, HONDA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES AND A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE OIL WAS CHECKED AND THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF FUEL ON THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA WORLD (LOCATED AT 1 AUTOCENTER DR, LOUISVILLE, KY 40299, (502) 398-6398) AND THE ENGINE OIL WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ENGINE OIL AND FUEL DILUTION IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,452. *BF *JB

Steering, Wheels, Service brakes, May 29, 2019
I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V ON A HIGHWAY USING THE HOV LANE. AT SOME POINT WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEEMED TO HAVE COLLAPSE AND THE CAR STARTED PULLING STRONG IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARDS THE CENTER DIVIDER LINE. WITH TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL THE PULL WAS SO STRONG THAT I WOULD BARELY CONTROL THE CAR AND KEEP IT FROM CRASHING INTO THE DIVIDER. BARELY MISSING THE DIVIDER I MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER LUCKILY WITHOUT ANYONE COLLIDING INTO ME. IF I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE THIS COULD HAVE PROMPTED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T GO OVER ANY POTHOLE OR OBSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD. NO ONE HIT ME NOR DID I HIT ANYONE. NO AIRBAGS INFLATED NOR WARNING INDICATORS APPEAR ON THE CONSOLE. I CALLED THE POLICE AND ONCE ON THE SCENE THE POLICE SWEPT THE HIGHWAY TO DETERMINE IF THERE WERE ANY POTHOLES OR OBSTACLES THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE INCIDENT. THEY CONFIRMED THAT NON EXISTED AND THAT THE ROAD WAS DEEMED SAFE. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT PRODUCED AS THE POLICE DEEMED THE INCIDENT TO BE A NON ACCIDENT AND INSTEAD A BREAKDOWN SINCE THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR ALTERCATION. WHEN LOOKING AT THE CAR DAMAGE THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL, WHEEL WELL, RIM WHICH SPLIT UP VERTICALLY, ROTAR, SUSPENSION, WHEEL CALIPER, BRAKES (WHICH FELL OFF IN PIECES) AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT OPERATIONAL AT THAT POINT. WHEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING REPORTED ON THE COMPUTER. THERE ONLY EXPLANATION WAS THAT THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER DID NOT WANT TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE OR FIND FAULT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS INCIDENT SEEMED TO BE A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION THAT OCCURRED THAT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE AND COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFELY CONCERN FOR OTHER HONDA CR-V DRIVERS IF NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED.

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR HAS HIT THE BRAKES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I DID CALL HONDA AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO ADJUST. THE REP I SPOKE TO GAVE ME A LECTURE ABOUT IT BEING A SAFETY FEATURE THAT WE HAVE TO GET USED TO!!! HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I MAY HAVE THE SETTING SET TO "SHORT." I DID CHECK IT WAS SET TO "NORMAL" I CHANGED IT TO "LONG.". IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THEN. ONCE JUST THE AUDIBLE WARNING AND TWICE IT LITERALLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND STOPPED THE CAR - EVERYTHING THAT WAS LOOSE WAS FLYING AROUND. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT EVERYTIME (5 INSTANCES SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN DEC 2017 - 4 TIMES ON CITY STREETS AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY) IT HAS SLAMMED THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON, THERE WAS NONE BEHIND ME. IF THERE WAS SOMEONE BEHIND ME, THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I KNOW THAT IF I WAS DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE WHO LITERALLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO AM IMMEDIATE STOP, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM GOING TO GET HIT.

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR TWO YEARS AGO, THE OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED AND SMELLS OF GASOLINE, AND THE CABIN HAS ALSO ON OCCASION SMELLED OF GASOLINE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE COMPLAINED EACH TIME I'VE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICING, TO NO AVAIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID HE'D NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, WHEN I HAD THE CAR SERVICED ON 5/14/19 (WHICH INCLUDED AN OIL CHANGE). A WEEK LATER I CHECKED THE OIL 'SURE ENOUGH, THE LEVEL HAS RISEN AND IT SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS: FOR MY HEALTH AND SAFETY DUE TO THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. I PRIMARILY DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES, WHICH I UNDERSTAND INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF OIL DILUTION IN THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, May 28, 2019
THE OIL IN MY ENGINE IS BEING DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. THE DIPSTICK NEVER GOES BELOW FULL AND THE OIL IS THIN AND DIRTY. THIS IS JUST 1 MONTH AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. OCCASIONALLY THE GAS FUMES ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND MAKE DRIVING THE CAR UNPLEASANT. HONDA DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME GAS FUMES WERE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, THE CAR WILL BEEP, FLASH BRAKE, AND THEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SEAT BELTS LOCK UP FROM THE SUDDEN BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THERE IS AN UPDATE, AND THEY INSTALLED IT, SUPPOSEDLY, AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED. I AM STILL HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS, AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT IS COMING OUT NEXT MONTH. LET ME REITERATE THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY BRAKE WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. I ALSO HAD MY GEAR SHIFTER BUTTON POP OUT AND BRAKE WHILE SHIFTING TO DRIVE THE OTHER DAY. I HAD TO DRIVE TO HONDA, AND GET THAT REPLACED, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AT A TIRE SHOP TO GET NEW TIRES PUT ON. UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AGAIN, A WARNING SHOWED UP ON THE SCREEN SAYING "ELECTRONIC BRAKE FAILURE". THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKES THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TURN BACK OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, BUT ON THIS OCCASION THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN BACK OFF. THIS STOPPED THE CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO START AT ALL, MULTIPLE INDICATORS ON THE DASH WERE THROWING ERRORS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, AND IT CONTINUED TO SHOW "ELECTRONIC BRAKE FAILURE". WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED THEY SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO BUT TO TOW IT 2 HOURS AWAY TO LOOK AT IT, THEN THEY SUGGESTED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES TO GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE, WHICH WAS DONE AND DID RELEASE THE BRAKES AND CLEAR THE ERROR. BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS REMOVED, ANY CODES STORED WERE CLEARED SO WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN THE CAR SHOWED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ENOUGH ISSUE NOW ON ALL NEW HONDAS WITH THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FEATURE TO THE POINT THAT GOOGLING IT WILL COME UP WITH MULTIPLE FORUMS TALKING ABOUT IT.
