Equipment, other, owners/service/other manualSep 26, 2019
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2019 CR-V vehicles. The owner's guide incorrectly describes when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator should illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
If the front passenger does not correctly understand how the airbag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WINDOWS AND SUNROOF OPEN ON THEIR OWN. VEHICLE PARKED FOR 2 DAYS IN DRIVEWAY. IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT, ALL WINDOWS AND SUNROOF OPENED DURING A RAINSTORM. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. FIRST TIME SEP'19, SECOND TIME 4/28 OR 4/29 2020. CUSTOMER CASE 09867240 WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THEY SAY THIS IS A "FEATURE" THAT REQUIRES PUSHING BUTTONS ON KEY FOB REMOTE IN SPECIFIC ORDER. NO BUTTONS WERE PUSHED EITHER TIME. SEP'19 KEY FOB WAS IN POCKET. SECOND OCCURRENCE OCCURRED MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. ONE FOB HANGING ON HOOK NEAR BACK DOOR. OTHER ON MY DRESSER NEXT TO MY WALLET. NO POSSIBLE WAY BUTTONS COULD HAVE BEEN PUSHED IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT. AM HONDA SOLUTION IS TO GET A HARDCASE FOR THE REMOTE TO BE SURE BUTTONS ARE NOT PUSHED BY MISTAKE. DEALER SAYS SAME THING. INTERNET POSTINGS SHOW THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON MANY DIFFERENT HONDA MODELS FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. AM HONDA ALSO SAYS THAT THE "FEATURE" CAN'T BE DISABLED. MY POINT...IF THEY PROGRAMMED IT INTO THE SYSTEM, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROGRAM IN A "SWITCH" THAT CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH THE CONTROL SCREEN. DEALER (WILLIAMS HONDA, TRAVERSE CITY MI) ALSO INDICATES IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NO WAY TO DISABLE IT EITHER, EVEN WITH THEIR SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. IT RAINED HERE LAST NIGHT. MY CAR IS SOAKED. THE RESPONSE FROM AMERICAN HONDA IS THAT I DID NOT HAVE A HARD CASE FOR MY KEY FOB. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ASLEEP AND THE FOBS WERE NOT MOVED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

2,790 MILES. GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN OF NEWLY PURCHASED 2019 HONDA CR-V AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF CAR NEAR FRONT OF CAR. ON 02/03/2020, I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA'S SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION(VISUAL INSPECTION). THEY RAN THE CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR 45 MINUTES BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SMELL COULD NOT BE NOTICED INSIDE THE CAB, AROUND THE FUEL TANK OR UNDER THE HOOD. BUT THEY DID SAY, THE OIL HAD A FUEL SMELL. I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN FOUND IN 2018 AND 2017 MODELS AND THAT IT WAS TO BE CORRECTED FOR 2019. HONDA IS AWARE THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE BUT SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY DO NOTHING. I HAVE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND VERY SENSITIVE TO CERTAIN ODORS AND FUMES, AND WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR I HAVE TO HAVE THE MOON ROOF OPEN AND THE WINDOWS CRACKED. IT CAUSES DISCOMFORT IN MY CHEST AND AIR PASSAGE. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND OPENED A CASE. IT WAS ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER WHO SAID HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND CALL ME BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO. HE NEVER CALLED. I CALLED THEM AGAIN 4/20/2020 AND WAS TOLD I CAN GET A SECOND OPINION AT ANOTHER HONDA SERVICE CENTER, BUT IF THE RESULTS ARE THE SAME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED FOR THE 2019 AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD FOR THOSE WITH HEALTH ISSUES, SMALL CHILDREN AND FOR ANYONE BREATHING IN THESE FUMES. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON GOOD REVIEWS BECAUSE I WANTED A GOOD CAR THAT WOULD POSSIBILITY BE THE LAST CAR I HAD TO PURCHASE AND IT MAY BE, BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS I HOPED. WHEN SOMEONE PURCHASES A BRAND NEW CAR WITH A 5 YEAR CAR NOTE, THE LEAST THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT IS THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT FEELING THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR LIFE IN JEOPARDY. HONDA IS AWFUL AND SHAMEFUL.

PROBLEM: FUEL GETTING INTO OIL TRANSFER CASE AND CONTAMINATING/DILUTING THE OIL. WE PURCHASED A 2019 HONDA CR-V EX-L ON 10/31/19. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAD BEEN REPORTED WITH THE 2017-2018 MODELS WITH THE SAME 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WE WERE TOLD THAT HONDA HAD "FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD THE FIX". WE WERE PLANNING A TRIP TO DALLAS, TX ON 02/22/20 AND PLANED TO DRIVE THERE FROM OUR HOME IN DULUTH, MN. IN PREPARING FOR THE TRIP, I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL AND FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1/2" ABOVE THE FULL MARK ON THE DIPSTICK, AND THE OIL WAS DARK AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THE CAR HAD 2407 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME AND OBVIOUSLY HONDA HAD NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 02/21/20 WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAD THEM CHECK THE OIL. THEY OBSERVED THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM REPORTING. THEY STATED THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. BUT THEY ALSO STATED THAT HONDA WAS NOT PROVIDING ANY EXPLANATION OR REMEDY OTHER THAN TO CHANGE THE OIL AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. MY DEALERSHIP, TO THEIR CREDIT, AGREED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO EXPLAINED WHY THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HONDA MAY YET BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. HONDA HAS ALREADY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE 2017-18 MODELS AS THE RESULT OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE FOR THE 2019 OR 2020 MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AND SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR, DAMAGE, OR POTENTIAL OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. DEALER REPAIR #122992, KRENZEN HONDA DULUTH, MN.

Electronic stability control (ESC), Mar 11, 2020, crash
ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A NEARBY PARK AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITH SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. I CONTINUED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR, BUT IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I STEERED THE CAR AWAY FROM A SMALL LAKE BUT SMASHED INTO A PINE TREE. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEATBELT WORKED. I RECEIVED TRAUMA TO THE CHEST BY THE AIRBAG. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION AND THEN RELEASED THE NEXT DAY. THE STATE TROOPER CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING WHEN HE RESTARTED IT. THIS HONDA CRV RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY, 2019 CONCERNING A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND STEERING COLUMN. THE PARTS DID NOT COME UNTIL SEPTEMBER, 2019 AND I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ONLY 6,800 MILES ON THE CAR. I WENT TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND HIS ATTITUDE WAS POLITE BUT TOTALLY INDIFFERENT. HE INDICATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY SELLS CARS, BUT HE DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO DID THE REPAIR ON THIS RECALL. I LEFT THERE WITH NO SATISFACTION AT ALL. THE HONDA CRV 2019 IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND MY LAST.

WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AFTER OWNING IT FOR TWO MONTHS AND NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD. HONDA TRIED TO SAY THERE WAS A PUCK WHICH THERE WASN'T. HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED BY SAFE LITE AND THEY USED AN AFTER MARKET WINDSHIELD. I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE DROPPING 5-6 MPH WHEN GOING FROM ONE LANE TO THE NEXT.HONDA DUPLICATED THE ISSUE AND NOW HONDA IS TRYING TO SAY MY VEHICLE IS DROPPING SPEED BECAUSE OF AN AFTER MARKET WINDSHIELD AND I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A HONDA WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

ON 2/7/2020 I WAS OPERATING MY CRV, MADE A LEFT TURN INTO DRIVEWAY OF TAVERN/RESTAURANT, 1080 E. PHILADELPHIA AVE., GILBERTSVILLE, PA. 19525 AND PULLED INTO THE FIRST PARKING SPACE ABOUT 10 FEET FROM STREET. I SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP APPROX. 2 FEET FROM CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND ENGINE ACCELERATED VERY HIGH CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP THE PARKING BLOCK AND STRIKING THE RESTAURANT WALL. APPROX. 8 FEET FROM PARKING BLOCK. MY WIFE ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING AND I POINTED TO MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. NO ONE WAS HURT AND VERY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO WALL. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TO DOUGLAS TWP. PD. I SPOKE TO PIAZZA HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AND MANAGER SAID THAT I MOST LIKELY HAD MY FOOT HALF ON BRAKE AND HALF ON GAS PEDAL. I ALSO GAVE SAME STORY TO ALLSTATE INSURANCE. I REQUESTED THAT HEY CHECK THE BLACK BOX IN VEHICLE AND BOTH SAID THEY COULD NOT. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AFTER $9.000.00 ESTIMATE WAS WRITTEN. I WAS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND I TRADED IT IN TO PIAZZA HONDA WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR BUSINESS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 60 YEARS AND NEVER HAD MY FOOT HALF ON BRAKE A ND HALF ON GAS PEDAL. THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL ARE SEPARATED BY AT LEAST 3 INCHES. IF IT WAS ON BOTH PEDALS, I AM SURE THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE SCREECHED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP AT PIAZZA HONDA 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT FOR PA. VEHICLE INSPECTION AND DURING THE EXAM THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LEFT FRONT STRUT WAS LEAKING AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT..

Engine, Feb 22, 2020
STRONG GASOLINE FUMES WERE NOTED IN THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT ABOUT 2,000 MILES. THE ISSUE SEEMED TO PRESENT ITSELF WHEN RESTARTING AFTER RELATIVELY SHORT TRIPS. ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH 2017/2018 MODELS, THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED AND DID NOT APPLY TO 2019 MODELS. THIS WAS CONTRARY TO WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING, SO I RESEARCHED AND DETERMINED THAT THIS DOES IN FACT APPEAR TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2019 MODEL. WHEN PULLING THE DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE OIL, IT SMELLED AS IF I HAD DIPPED THE STICK IN A CAN OF GASOLINE, NOT OIL. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE INDIVIDUAL CHECKING THE CAR IN, AGREED THAT UPON STARTING THE CAR FOR THE TEST DRIVE, THE CABIN SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED-OUT BY A MECHANIC, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS READY TO PICK UP AND THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. I INQUIRED AS TO GASOLINE SMELL NOTED UPON CHECK-IN. THEY INDICATED THAT THE COMMENT MADE COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS THE PERSON CHECKING THE VEHICLE IN AND GOING FOR A TEST DRIVE WAS NOT A LICENSED MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE MATTER UP WITH HONDA AMERICA AS THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT IF THE ISSUE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENGINE DESIGN, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THAT I WOULD NEED TO APPEAL TO HONDA AMERICA TO HAVE AN ENGINEER CHECK MY CAR OUT, THAT IF THEY WERE TO CALL, HONDA WOULD NOT SEND AN ENGINEER. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE A $30,000, PURCHASED VEHICLE THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO GIVE BACK TO HONDA AT THE END OF A SHORT LEASE. I AM ALSO BEING EXPOSED TO GASOLINE FUMES ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS KNOWINGLY SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT WILL NOT LAST FOR THE 10+ YEARS THAT I PLANNED TO DRIVE IT IN RETIREMENT.

IN COLD WEATHER, WITH A NORMAL CITY DRIVING HABIT, FUEL AND OIL SMELL IS CONSISTENTLY PRESENT DURING THE DRIVING, IN THE STREET OR HIGHWAY, CAUSING NAUSEOUSNESS AND DIZZINESS. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF TURING, STOPPING, OR ANOTHER CAR DRIVING INFRONT OF US, THE FUEL AND BURNED OIL SMELL IS PRESENT. OIL WAS CHANGED, THE AIR FILTER WAS CHANGED, THE PAN UNDER THE ENGINE WAS CLEANED, THE OIL DRAIN PLUG WAS SECURED, AND NO LEAKAGE; NEVERTHELESS, THE FUEL AND BURNED OIL SMELL IS STILL PRESENT IN THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THE CAR ON 3/30/2019, AND THE ISSUE STARTED SHOWING UP WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLDER.

THE ENGINE IS GETTING GAS IN THE OIL. I HAVE TAKEN OIL SAMPLES THAT SHOW GREATER THAN 5% GAS IN THE ENGINE WITH LOWER THAN MINIMUM OIL VISCOSITY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE OIL. LESS THAN 1000 MILES LATER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK. THE ENGINE HESITATES RANDOMLY ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WITH THE SAME "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO". I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD PULL THE INJECTORS AND CHECK TO SEE IF ONE IS FAULTY AND WAS TOLD "IT'S DIRECT INJECTION, THE INJECTORS CANNOT BE PULLED", WHICH OF COURSE IS FALSE. THE LAST MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE OIL LEVEL IS MORE THAN 1.5 INCHES ABOVE THE ADD MARK, THERE WAS NO CHANCE OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I ESTIMATE THAT AT THAT LEVEL, THERE WOULD BE 30% GAS IN OIL. THE COMPANY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM FOR THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IN THE 2019 CR-V WAS SOLVED. I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN SOLVED BASED ON MY AND OTHERS EXPERIENCE.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO UNDERGO UNNECESSARY EMERGENCY BRAKING OPERATIONS DURING THE USE OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE SENSING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY PRESENT AND THIS CAUSES IT TO BRAKE RAPIDLY. THE PROBLEM IS NOT REPEATABLE WHEN DRIVING THE SAME ROUTE UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH THE HONDA DEALER BUT AS YET REMAINS AN UNRESOLVED INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS A DEMONSTRABLE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL BEING DILUTED WITH FUEL THAT CAUSES THE OIL TO BE THINNED OUT TO A POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER IN SPEC FOR THE VISCOSITY. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CRANKCASE RISES AND CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND ALSO CAUSES A STRONG FUEL SMELL TO BE PRESENT IN THE CABIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BOTH HONDA DEALERS AS WELL AS HONDA USA AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO TAKE NO ACTION.
