ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR WHICH WAS LOCKED AND HAD ALL THE WINDOWS AND POWER SUNROOF CLOSED WHEN I LEFT IT, TO FIND ALL FOUR WINDOWS HALF WAY DOWN AND THE POWER SUNROOF THREE INCHES OPEN. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT HAD RAINED BEFORE OR WAS BEGINNING TO RAIN UPON MY RETURN TO THE CAR AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF THE RAIN STORM HAD BEEN WORSE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT AND THIS MALFUNCTION CREATED A SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK FOR MY FAMILY AND PROPERTY. THE HONDA CR-V MANUAL INDICATES THAT THERE IS A "FEATURE" WHERE IF A PERSON PRESSES THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB ONCE AND THEN PRESSES IT AGAIN AND HOLDS IT FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 SECONDS, ALL THE WINDOWS WILL BE LOWERED HALF WAY AND PARTIALLY OPENS THE SUNROOF. MY KEY FOB HOWEVER WAS NOT IN A PLACE WHERE THE UNLOCK BUTTON COULD BE PUSHED TWICE IN THIS PATTERN AND THESE INSTANCES WERE NOT DUE TO OPERATOR ERRORS. HONDA CURRENTLY DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SUCH ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT MY WEB SEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER CR-V AND CERTAIN ACURA OWNERS ABOUT EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ADVISED BY AMERICAN HONDA THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST AND THEY CANNOT FILE ANYTHING WITH HONDA AMERICA REGARDING THE ISSUE. SINCE THIS IS A LOW OCCURRENCE RATE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, CUSTOMERS WILL FRUITLESSLY PAY HONDA TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION OF IT UNLESS HONDA IS FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS IT BY THE NHTSA. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU DO WHATEVER IS IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE HONDA RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS AT A MINIMUM, AN UNLOCKED VEHICLE ALLOWS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRIMINAL GAINING ACCESS AND BEING PRESENT INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE OWNER RETURNS.

OUR 2018 HONDA CRV HAS A DEAD BATTERY AT 21,000 MILES. ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS BATTERY LOSING CHARGE. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM? WE WERE LUCKY, AS THE CRV BATTERY DIED IN OUR GARAGE. BUT, IT COULD HAVE DIED IN A LESS FRIENDLY LOCATION. FROM WHAT I READ, THIS BATTERY IS PRONE TO PARASITIC CURRENT LOSS AT ANY TIME. THANK YOU.

2018 HONDA CRV TOURING PURCHASE SEPTEMBER 8, 2018. CURRENTLY HAS 16,400 MILES. ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, I WENT OUT TO START MY HONDA CRV TOURING IN THE GARAGE. IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED THE HELPLINE TO HAVE A TOWING COMPANY COME TO TAKE THE CAR TO BOB BRADY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DECATUR ILLINOIS. I CALLED BOB BRADY HONDA SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME TO JUST HAVE THE TOWING COMPANY JUMPSTART MY CAR AND DRIVE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. NOTE, THE TOWING COMPANY DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS ABOUT THE 13TH HONDA 2018 2020 THAT HE HAS HAD TO JUMPSTART. SOME OF THE VEHICLES HE'S HAD TO REVISIT TO JUMPSTART. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR AFTER COMING HOME THE REST OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY. THE CAR STARTED ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, AT 11:30 AM. THE HONDA STARTED ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18 AT 3:30 PM. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, THE CAR STARTED AT 10:00 AM. THAT SAME DAY THE CAR STARTED AT 1:00 PM. ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, I WENT OUT TO TRY TO START MY CAR AT 7:00 AM. MY CAR WOULD NOT START! IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY WILL NOT JUST FLIP OUT THE BATTERY UNTIL THEY FIRST TRY TO CHARGE IT AGAIN TO SEE IF THAT HELPS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 14, 2020 AND I AM GOING TO CALL THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN TODAY FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF THE BATTERY BEING DEAD! BOTH TIMES THAT THE CAR BATTERY DIED AS WELL IT WAS SITTING IN MY HEATED GARAGE. I'M NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS ON A DEAD BATTERY. BUT, I HAVE MADE A VIDEO OF EXACTLY HOW THE PROCEDURE TAKES PLACE WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR IN THE GARAGE.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. A FEW DAYS AFTER RESETTING THE COMPUTER, THIS RECURRED. IN ONE OCCASION, ENGINE POWER WENT TO A MINIMUM (10 MPH ON A LEVEL ROAD) WHILE DRIVING. PARKING BRAKES ENGAGED LIGHTS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND WAS REPORTED BY OTHERS (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T76546_DS1113654). HONDA DEALER ADMITTED THEY SAW THIS WITH OTHERS BUT NEITHER THEY NOR CORPORATE HONDA WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT PULLING TO THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROAD THINKING THERE WERE ENGINE PROBLEMS. MY CAR BATTERY IS QUITE NEW AND HAS BEEN CHECKED BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SO THIS IS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE. THE REPORTED DATE IS THE LATEST - THIS HAS RECURRED ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW.

ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON FOR MY VEHICLE INDICATING THAT I HAVE PROBLEM IN ALL AREAS OF THE CAR. THIS IS A 2018 HONDA CRV. THIS CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND THE RELAY MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE I AM AT 37,000 MILES, HONDA IS TELLING ME THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY OF THE CAR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE RELAY MODULE WHICH IS A MAJOR EXPENSE. AGAIN THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS CAR OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE I PULLED UP AND PARKED REACHED OVER TO GET A MASK OUT AND THE CHIME WENT OFF. SO I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND FOUND THAT THE DISPLAY WAS SAYING POWER STEERING WAS DISABLE THEN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR THEN THE ENGINE THEN THE BRAKES AND IT JUST KEEPS CHIMING IN DISPLAYING EACH MESSAGE FOR ALL LISTED ABOVE. I RESTARTED THE CAR HOPING IT WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. HOPE THE WARRANTY COVERS IT AND TOWING.

THIS THE THIRD INCIDENT, WHERE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR LOST POWER, STALLED, SHUT DOWN, AND ALL THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE WENT OFF. THE VACAVILLE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON THE SECOND TIME REFUSE TO DOCUMENT MY ISSUE OR LOOK AT THE BATTERY WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR A SERVICE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I FEEL REALLY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND VACAVILLE HONDA HAS A HISTORY OF NOT DOCUMENTING MY CONCERNS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN WHERE I TURNED RIGHT AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON AND ALL THE SENSORS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR ROLLING BY GOING DOWN HILL GOING ABOUT 2 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 16 MPH. THERE WAS NOT WAY I WAS GOING AT THAT SPEED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED LOCALLY TO ANOTHER HONDA WHERE I LIVED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY ALL THE SENSORS WENT OFF.

THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER GOES BLANK OR STARTS TO CHANGE SCREENS ON ITS OWN. ALSO, IT STARTS TO BEEP AS IT IS DOING THIS AND WON'T STOP. IN ADDITION, THE SYSTEM HAS MADE PHONE CALLS ON ITS OWN. HONDA SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT AS OF JULY 6, 2020, THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN RESTART THE CAR TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM. AS OF THIS WRITING, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND WILL NOT STOP EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM IN 2019 AND 2020 TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE THE KEY FOB WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WOULD ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELVES. ONE TIME I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR WITH HONDA SERVICE ON THE PHONE AS PROOF BECAUSE EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WOULD GO DOWN. THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE WITNESS DENIED IT. EVENTUALLY THE BCM WAS REPLACED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. TODAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, IT APPEARED THAT THE SOFTWARE RESET ITSELF. THE ODOMETER SCREEN SAID IT WAS 1 AM WHEN IT WAS 8:52 AM. IT TOOK SEVERAL RESTARTS FOR THAT SCREEN TO RESET. HOWEVER, THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WOULD NOT RESET. IT STATES "ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM - THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE TO SYSTEM." THEN IT KEPT GOING DARK. I TRIED WITH THE CAR POWER BUTTON AND THE RADIO POWER BUTTON. NEITHER RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I RESTARTED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO RESTART HOURS LATER BY HOLDING DOWN THE RADIO POWER BUTTON. I AM LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC DATE ON THIS FORM, BUT THE WINDOWS/SUNROOF PROBLEMS BEGAN AROUND APRIL/MAY 2020 AND THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN ISSUE IN JUNE 2020. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MAY/JUNE OF 2019. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY BOULEVARD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WENT BLANK. SECONDS LATER, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED: "ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM." I ASSUMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIRECTING ME TO HOLD THE RADIO POWER BUTTON, SO I DID AND HELD IT FOR TWO SECONDS, BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN PULLED OVER WHEN SAFE, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED FOR 1 MINUTE AND THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS BACK ON TO NORMAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 10, 2020 AND THIS IS A 2018 MODEL. THE BATTERY THAT INITIALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE DIED ON FEBRUARY, 2020 AFTER REQUIRING A JUMP START. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON ROUTE 43 APPROACHING ROUTE 60 IN LAKE FORREST, ILLINOIS ON NOVEMBER 5, 2019 MY HONDA CR-V SUDDENLY STOPPED. AND, I MEAN COMPLETELY STOPPED.FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 35 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRENCE WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A FALSE POSITIVE ERROR. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY AT THE TIME. MY ONLY WITNESS IS MY WIFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR PRIMARILY TO DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND NOW HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN IT'S ABILITY FOR SAFETY. THIS PROBLEM HASN'T OCCURRED AGAIN SINCE NOVEMBER 2019 BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST OUR LIVES TO A COMPUTER IN CHARGE OF THIS CAR. THIS IS A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING ERROR THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF LIFE. OTHER COMPUTER ASSISTED DRIVING VEHICLES DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY MUST HAVE TESTED AND OVERCOME THIS SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ISSUE. DOES TESLA OR MOBILEYE HAVE THIS ISSUE? IS IT ONLY HONDA? *TR
