DISPLAY CONSOLE BECOMES ERRATIC SHOWING DIFFERENT SCREENS, USUALLY STARTING FIRST WITH BRIGHTNESS LEVEL INDICATOR, AND THEN MOVING INTO DIFFERENT SCREENS. THE RATE THE SCREEN CHANGES INCREASES WITH TIME. DEALER STATED PREVIOUSLY THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ISSUE AND THAT IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH WAS IN BETA TESTING. THE INCIDENT RATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IS INCREASING. MY SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (I THINK A YEAR LATER) AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE A FIX. TO STOP THE CASCADE, YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AND IS UNPREDICTABLE. HAVE ALSO NOTED LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE AT ODD TIMES (NO ACTUAL LANE DEPARTURE OR IDENTIFIABLE ROAD ISSUES). THE MAIN DASH DISPLAY FAILED TO BOOT ON START UP RECENTLY. THE GEAR KNOB HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.

BROKEN SHIFT BUTTON: I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE SHIFT BUTTON POP OUT AND FELL UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. IT CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION SINCE I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR TO PARK OR SHIFT ANY GEAR. MANY DRIVERS ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING. THE BUTTON IS CONNECTED TO THE SHIFT GEAR AND IT IS MADE FROM A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. IT COSTS $85 TO REPLACE AT THE DEALER. HONDA REFUSES TO REIMBURSE SINCE THE CAR HAS PAST ITS WARRANTY. THE CAR IS AT 50000 MILES. I HAD TO PICK IT UP UNDER THE SEAT AND USE A HAIR BAND TO KEEP IT IN PLACE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER.

WHEN BACKING THE HONDA CR-V IN REVERSE DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, I TOUCHED THE SHIFT GEAR AND PROCEEDED TO PLACE THE CR-V INTO DRIVE. THE HONDA CR-V WENT INTO THE D POSITION, AND I SAW A SMALL PIECE OF THE KNOB FALL OFF. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TRIED THE PUT THE CR- V INTO PARK, HOWEVER I COULD NOT. I HAD TO PLACE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK ON. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE!

Electrical system, Service brakes, May 7, 2019
THE AUTOMATIC BREAKING FUNCTION IS RANDOMLY APPLYING THE BRAKES, OR WARNING TO BRAKE, AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEOPLE AROUND THE CAR. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS APPLIED ITSELF 3 TIMES, WITH VERY HARD BRAKING TO THE POINT THAT THE SEATBELTS LOCKED UP, WHILE MERGING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, GOING ANYWHERE FROM 25-45 MPH'ISH. ONE TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME (BECAUSE THEY WERE ALSO TAILGATING), ANOTHER TIME WAS WHILE EXITING A BRIDGE, AND THE MOST RECENT WAS THIS MORNING WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY IN FRONT OF A BIG RIG AND THE BRAKES RANDOMLY SLAMMED THEMSELVES ON FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS IT HAS AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED THE BRAKES LIGHTLY AT LEAST TWICE, AND GIVEN COUNTLESS FALSE BRAKING WARNINGS WHEN DRIVING AROUND CITY STREETS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!

RAN PREMIUM GAS ONLY AND CHANGED OIL TWICE AS OFTEN AS RECOMMENDED BUT RECENTLY (4/2019) CHECKED OIL AND IT READ WAY ABOVE FULL, LOOKED ALMOST CLEAR AFTER 1500 MILES, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS AGAIN. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING SLOWER AND SLOWER THAN WHEN NEW. READ UP ON GAS IN OIL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND SAW THAT HONDA OFFERED NO FIX FOR CARS IN THE STATE WHERE I LIVE AND DEALERSHIPS APPARENTLY DENY THERE IS GAS IN THE OIL. I WAS CONCERNED AFTER READING ABOUT ENGINES STALLING, WHICH OF COURSE THEY WILL DO WITH GAS IN THE CRANKCASE, HONDA DID RECALL WORK ON THIS CAR THAT INVOLVED CHANGING THE OIL BUT NOT THE FILTER WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND WHICH DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO ADDRESS THIS HUGE ENGINE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF THE CAR POTENTIALLY LOSING POWER AND/OR STALLING IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. HONDA HAS NOT ONLY NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THESE CARS WITH ENGINE DEFECTS EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT SINCE 2017.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED. I TURNED IT OFF, WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT DIDN'T. I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. SO I JUST LEFT IT ALONE. ONLY THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE RADIO TURNED ON, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE WINDOWS. THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME UP WERE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING, CHARGING SYSTEM, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.

THE MAIN DASH DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT "BOOT UP" OR WILL STAY BLACK (BLANK) WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON WHEN SET ON AUTOMATIC EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO WATER PRESENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM (RDM) SYSTEM IS ACTIVE, IT TURNS OFF WHEN LEAST EXPECTED SOMETIMES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CROSS THE MIDDLE (LEFT) OR OUTSIDE (RIGHT) LANES WITHOUT WARNING EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE WELL DEFINED SOLID AND/OR DASHED ROAD LANE LINES. HONDA NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF THE MAIN DISPLAY ISSUE AND HAS ADVISED DEALERSHIPS NOT TO REPLACE THE DISPLAY SINCE IT WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ADDRESS THE RDM ISSUE SINCE THE MAIN DISPLAY IS THE CENTRAL PROCESSOR FOR ALL THE SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE CABIN INCLUDING THE ROAD MITIGATION DEPARTURE SYSTEM (RDM) AND THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) CAMERA. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INFORMED US THAT HONDA NORTH AMERICA IS "WORKING ON A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME". MEAN WHILE, WE ARE MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN USING THE ALL THE "SAFETY" FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS VEHICLE. OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE INCLUDE: ENGINE OIL DILUTION, A LOOSE STABILIZER SWAY BAR THAT HAD TO BE TIGHTENED, DRIVER SEAT THAT WILL NOT RETURN TO THE NUMBER ONE DRIVER POSITION INTERMITTINGLY, THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB BUTTON CAME OFF AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE DISPLAY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMITTINGLY DOES NOT WORK.

I HAD JUST COME OFF THE HIGHWAY EXIT ON TO THE CITY STREET. I WAS INCREASING MY SPEED AND MOVING OVER TO THE LEFT. JUST AS I GOT INTO THE LEFT LANE THE CR-V SUDDENLY STARTED TO FLASH BREAK ON THE DASH IN FRONT OF ME AND I COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE BREAK HARD ON IT'S OWN. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NO PERSON/VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRAKE FOR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY TO THE HONDA GARAGE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO FAULT CODE IN THE SYSTEM NOR COULD THE TECHNICIAN DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPEN AT NIGHT WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN GOING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER CR-V OWNERS REPORT THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON FORUMS. I AM VERY WEARY NOW TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH THIS ISSUE. I USED TO LOVE MY CR-V NOW I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT BUT HAVE NO CHOOSE AS IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK.

ELECTRIC CONSOLE WILL TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, CHANGE BRIGHTNESS, AND KEEPS CHANGING SCREENS WHILE BEEPING. NO WAY TO STOP IT EXCEPT TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SIMPLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES OUT OF NO WHERE. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR ON AN EXIT RAMP WHEN THE CAR BEEPED, FLASHED BRAKE, AND IT BRAKED EVEN THOUGHT MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS. THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENED UP AND THE CAR STOPPED. ONCE IT REALIZED THERE WAS NOTHING THERE, IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE LIKE A ROCKET SHIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE ON SUNNY DAYS WHEN IT MUST HAVE MISREAD SHADOWS ON THE ROAD AS OBJECTS AND AGAIN, SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME THIS MORNING, I HAVE NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS? I HAD BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER BEFORE AND I WAS INSULTED THAT THEY SAID MY CAR WAS DIRTY. I WOULD HAVE DIED! IF THEIR SENSORS CANNOT FUNCTION IN A MICHIGAN SPRING, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING!

DURING OIL CHANGES, MORE OIL WAS COMING OUT THAN WAS BEING PUT IN. OIL CLEARLY SMELLS LIKE FUEL. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO HONDA'S ATTENTION IN EARLY APRIL, I WAS TOLD TO GO TO A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS. DURING THE DIAGNOSIS DONE ON 4/17/2019, THEY PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE AT 80% OIL LIFE WHICH INDICATED THAT OIL LEVELS WERE ELEVATED BY APPROXIMATELY 1/4TH OF A QUART. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DILUTED THE OIL WOULD BE AT 10 OR 15% OIL LIFE. ACCORDING TO MY CASE MANAGER AND AS STATED IN THIS PAPERWORK, THIS IS "NORMAL". PAPERWORK PROVIDED BELOW WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED.

RECEIVED 'IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL' (NHTSA RECALL 17V-442) DATED 'JANUARY 2018' FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION (ATTACHED). RECALL RELATED TO VARIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WHICH COULD RESULT FROM MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT(S) RELATING TO (GASOLINE) FUEL SYSTEM. ACCORDINGLY, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR ON 01/24/18 PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT TIME OF 10:15 A.M. HONDA SERVICE CONSULTANT WAS ADVISED AT THE TIME THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE THAT LESSEE OR HER REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NEED TO WAIT FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED BECAUSE OF THE LONG COMMUTE INVOLVED. PER HONDA RECALL NOTICE, THE REPAIR WAS TO "... TAKE APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES." IN FACT, IT TOOK 3 HOURS 27 MINUTES. (SEE ATTACHED.) DURING THE COURSE OF THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE CONSULTANT ADVISED LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE TECHNICIAN "HASN'T DONE ONE OF THESE BEFORE", AND THAT "I'VE GOT THE SHOP FOREMAN ON IT NOW." HAVING OBVIOUSLY INCOMPETENT PERSONNEL HANDLE SUCH A REPAIR IS PATENTLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND SUBJECTS CONSUMERS TO UNNECESSARY DANGERS, NOT TO MENTION WASTING CONSUMERS' TIME. HONDA OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT TAKE ITS RESPONSIBILITIES TO ITS CUSTOMERS SERIOUSLY.

FUEL IS MAKING IT'S WAY INTO THE OIL SYSTEM. EVERYTIME I CHECK THE OIL I CAN CLEARLY SMELL GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. I KNOW THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED 350,000 CRVS IN CHINA FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME 1.5 TURBO ENGINES HOWEVER, WHEN I TELL THE DEALERSHIP OR HONDA REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT IT THEY ACT AS IF IT IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON THE ENGINE AND POTENTIALLY BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE ENGINE WERE TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS.
