Engine, Aug 10, 2018
ENGINE OIL OVERFILL CONDITION EXISTS AS EARLY AS 700 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ENGINE OIL IS ABOVE THE 'FULL' MARK ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE ENGINE OIL HAS THE DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE PRESENT. THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS HONDA CR-V OWNERS FORUMS AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. IT IS OUR FEAR THAT IF THIS OVERFILL CONDITION IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE CRANKCASE ENGINE OIL THAT THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, EXPLOSION, SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, ETC.
Other or unspecified, Aug 7, 2018
THE TIRES SOLD ON THE HONDA CRV IN 2017 ARE SUBSTANDARD. AT 17,000 THEY ARE WORN TO THE POINT OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT. AS SOMEONE THAT IS MORE ACCUSTOMED TO TIRES LASTING 45,000 TO 80,000, THIS QUICK WEAR OUT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE. AT 17,000, I SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE TIRES TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN -- NO SO. THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS.

THE APPLE CARPLAY CONSTANTLY DISCONNECTS MAKING MY PHONE AND NAVIGATION USELESS. THE IPHONE WILL RANDOMLY DISCONNECT AND SOMETIMES NOT REGISTER AS CONNECTED.

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.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Aug 4, 2018
AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY - WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PEDAL JERKS MOMENTARILY BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE WITH DEAD BATTERY AFTER 2 DAYS OF NOT BEING USED.

VIN: (XXXXX) VEHICLE MILEAGE: 28,903 DESCRIPTION: I AM LEARNING THAT THE RADAR THAT CONTROLS THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, COLLISION MITIGATION ETC. IS ONLY PROTECTED BY A "POP OFF COVER". I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED OVER THE LACK OF PROTECTION WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF MY 2017 HONDA CRV. I AM BEING FACED WITH A MINIMUM $1,100 (PART ONLY) BILL TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO MY CARS RADAR SENSOR MOUNTED IN THE FRONT GRILL. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH RANDOM "DETECTION" COMPUTER MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOW FOR THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC TO BE POPPED OFF BY A SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS ON THE ROAD THAT WAS KICKED UP FROM THE ROAD BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN FRONT OF ME IS RIDICULOUS. WHY WOULD SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT BE MOUNTED DEAD FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED? I'M LOOKING FOR A BETTER OPTION TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED. I AM PRACTICALLY A "LIFE TIME" OWNER OF HONDA PRODUCTS. AND OVER THE YEARS I HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE AND MORE UNIMPRESSED WITH WHAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH AT THE BEGINNING OF MY HONDA JOURNEY. RESPECTFULLY (XXXX) 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).

DRIVING ON FREEWAY. BUTTON TO SHIFT TRANMISSION/GEARS DISINTEGRATED. KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT CAR INTO PARK, ETC. FELT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I WAS GOING 50+ MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. BASED ON LEVEL OF COMPLAINTS - SEE LINK - BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL. ALSO COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HTTPS://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/137-2017-PRESENT-OFFICIAL-SPECS-FEATURES-ETC-GEN-5/168802-GEAR-SHIFT-BUTTON.HTML

GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE OIL. DIPSTICK READ IN BETWEEN "THE LINES" ON LEVEL GROUND. DROVE 1500 MILES (APPROX.) DURING A VACATION. CHECKED OIL AT OUR DESTINATION, ON LEVEL GROUND, AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1/4" TO 3/8" ABOVE THE FULL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK AND SMELLED OF GASOLINE. I CALLED HONDA AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER 08740888. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. ALSO THERE IS A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE DEALER DID CHANGE THE OIL.
Engine, Jul 31, 2018
AUTO SHOWED TOO MUCH OIL ON DIPSTICK READING AND OIL HAD STRONG SMELL OF GAS. DEALER ONLY DRAINED EXCESS OIL AND SAID LIGHTS WILL COME ON IF REAL ISSUE. I SUSPECTED FUEL IN OIL SO HAD OIL TESTED AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. TEST SHOWED OIL IN CRITICAL STATE WITH OVER 5% FUEL IN OIL. DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE. WORRIES INCLUDE ENGINE FIRE, PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR AND DAMAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT PROBLEM AND PRODUCE FIX. OIL ANALYSIS ATTACHED.
Engine, Jul 31, 2018
HONDA'S 1.5L TURBO ENGINE OIL LEVEL INCREASES IN THE ENGINE OIL OVER TIME AS UNBURNT EXCESS FUEL COLLECTS ON THE ENGINE CYLINDER WALLS. THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL GROWS QUICKER DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS - SOMETIMES COLDER WEATHER, SOMETIMES FREEWAY SPEEDS, THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY VARIABLES. TO COMBAT THE ISSUE I AM FORCED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL MORE OFTEN FOR FEAR OF ENGINE MISFIRES, ENGINE DAMAGE, AND PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR. WHEN I CHANGE THE OIL, I FILL THE OIL TO THE MID ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK MARK BUT WITHIN 1500 MILES OR SO THE OIL IS AT MAX DIPSTICK LEVEL AGAIN WITH STRONG FUEL SMELLS. TO DATE HONDA USA HAS NO PLAN FOR CORRECTION LET ALONE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE.

COVER, ENGINE (LOWER) UNCLIPPED FROM THE FRONT AND BENT BACK DRAGGING UNDER MY CAR DRIVING 70MPH ON INTERSTATE. I WAS 1/3 OF THE WAY OF A 120 MILE TRIP. I PULLED OVER AFTER FEELING SOMETHING DRAGGING UNDER MY CAR. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE A BLOWN TIRE. AFTER PULLING OVER I COULD SEE THE SHEET METAL DETACHED FROM THE FRONT (REAR BOLTS STILL HOLDING). I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GOOD SAMARITAN STOP AND PULL THE BOLTS HOLDING THE PART TO MY CAR WHICH ENABLED ME TO CONTINUE ON MY TRIP. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT MUST HAVE BEEN RELATED TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE THREE MONTHS AGO. HONDA AMERICA HASN'T OPENED A CASE AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS. A PART OF A CAR SHOULDN'T FALL OFF. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND I AM UNSURE HOW I SAFELY CHANGED LANES AT SUCH A HIGH SPEED. I HAVEN'T REPLACED THE PART SINCE I DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN. I TRAVEL ON THIS INTERSTATE TRIP TWICE A WEEK FOR LAST THE 3 MONTHS. MY FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME CAR BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME JUST HAD THE PART DETACH FROM THE FRONT BUT IT DIDN'T PEEL BACK AND DRAG AS MINE DID. THIS OCCURRED ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. I WILL ENCOURAGE MY FRIEND TO REPORT HERE. I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER'S SAFETY. I EXPECT BETTER FROM HONDA ENGINEERS.

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.

GASOLINE DILLUTION OF ENGINE OIL
Visibility/wiper, Jul 16, 2018
SUNROOF EXPLOSION: NEW HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 4,420 MILES. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. NO CARS OR TRUCKS WERE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND NO ROCKS OR DEBRIS WERE FOUND BY THE SERVICE REPAIR IN REMAINING SHATTERED GLASS. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN SO THE GLASS PARTICLES DID NOT FLY INTO THE PASSENGER AREA, BUT CARS BEHIND ME SLOWED AS SOME GLASS PARTICLES FLEW FROM THE ROOF. HONDA REPLACED THE SUNROOF UNDER WARRANTEE BUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS ARE DISORIENTING TO THE DRIVER AND NOT SAFE TO PASSENGERS OR OTHER CAR DRIVERS WHO CATCH THE FLYING GLASS PARTICLES.

HONDA SENSING ACTIVATED AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES DURING REGULAR SUBURBAN DRIVING WITHOUT ANYTHING TO PROMPT IT. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR DOWN A LOCAL ROAD WITHOUT HAVING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SENT A WARNING AS IF SOMETHING WAS IMPEDING THE FRONT PATHWAY WHILE MOVING. THERE WERE NOT ANY CARS IN FRONT AND THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES CAUSING MY BELT TO LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY AND VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN DRAMATICALLY LEADING TO ME ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER (O'NEILL HONDA, 7979 METCALF AVENUE, OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS 66204) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 08822895 WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

IT WAS A RECORD HOT DAY, 100 DEGREES, AND MY CR-V WAS PARKED IN MY PAVED DRIVEWAY, IN THE SUN. I WAS WATERING MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (NOT WASHING MY CAR, OUR WELL WATER WOULD ONLY LEAVE WHITE SPOTS ON IT) AND WAVED THE HOSE OVER MY CAR AND "POP!"- THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES, BOTH ARE LARGE CRACKS, 10 AND 18 INCHES. THIS WAS DUE, I BELIEVE, TO THE COOL WATER ON THE HOT WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE CRACKS ARE SO PROMINENT AND I QUESTION THE WINDSHIELD'S INTEGRITY.

WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN WE SUDDENLY HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION. WE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HIT US. BY GOD'S GRACE, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR US. AFTER WE RECOVERED FROM THE SHOCK WE REALIZED THAT A LARGE NOISE WAS COMING FROM ABOVE. IN FACT, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. WHEN WE GOT OFF THE ROAD WE FOUND THAT 70% OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEAR US, AND CERTAINLY NOTHING ABOVE US.
