Summary

I have a 2018 Honda CR-V purchased 12/4/2017. During the fall/winter of 2018, the warning lights and bells came on for apparently no reason and the vehicle would barely move down the road. Turning off the vehicle and restarting it fixed the issue with the vehicle moving however the lights remained on. I took the vehicle in to be checked by the dealer at least twice, but they were unable to find any problem. At this time the only possible solution that I found from searching the problem on google was a possible loose battery connection or low voltage in batter. They reset the computer and it has continued to occur multiple times since then. Once again on Friday, February 4, 2022, I took the vehicle in for a service with the warning lights all on again. They fixed some extended warranty issues which they thought fixed the problem. However, within less than 5 minutes after starting the vehicle all the lights were on again. At this time, I again did a google search for this issue and now I am finding that 4 years later with hundreds of people continuing to have the same problem repeatedly the fix that seems to be the actual solution is to replace the fuel injectors. Yet, Honda is refusing to recognize this as their problem and forcing their customers to foot the bill for this repair that has obviously been an issue since the vehicle was purchased. When all the warning lights are on none of the vehicle safety features work and all the flashing lights and dinging bells are a major driver distraction. Nevermind when start your car and attempt to pull onto the road and the vehicle will not run over 5 miles an hour with the gas pedal to the floor. I had to pull over on the side of the road which was not wide enough for me to get out of the road and turn off my ignition and restart my car. Thankfully it would accelerate at a normal speed afterwards and I was able to get home safely.

Summary

10 warning messages appear on the dashboard simultaneously. This has happened about 10 times now and has been viewed by an independent repair shop. The failures involve the breaking system, TPMS, power steering, vehicle stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and road departure. All of the 10 failures occurred when the temperature was below 40 degrees. They all were cleared after warming up in my garage overnight. When the warning messages appear, none of the systems are operational causing major safety concerns. I have a log of each occurrence and a video of the dashboard when the vehicle is started with the failures. Also, I am writing to alert you of this because there are many others who have experienced the same problems as I found after doing some on-line research. Please feel free to contact me about any other details.

Summary

I have experienced the effects of a parasitic drain on the vehicle's battery which caused a premature failure. It's a known issue as the vehicle stability assist unit runs when the vehicle is off, which caused the premature failure. The dealer just shrugs and HONDA is in denial. https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/2018-crv-battery-problem.195207/

Summary

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving on a local street at approximately 40 MPH, her vehicle had intermittently slammed on the brakes. The contact stated that the brake light had illuminated for about 3 seconds, and the brakes had released themselves. The contact stated that there was not a crash and no one was hurt because there was no other vehicle behind or in front of her when the failure occurred. The contact stated that she then drove her vehicle to the dealer who performed a terminal reset on her vehicle, and advised her that there was nothing wrong with her vehicle. The contact stated that in the past the brake light would illuminate, however it never caused her vehicle to slam on the brakes. The contact stated that she contacted the manufacturer, and they were not able to assist. The contact stated that upon doing her own research, she found many complaints concerning the same year, make, and model experiencing the same failure as she experienced with her vehicle. The mileage failure was 40,000.

Summary

My CRV TOURING 2018 has a little over 23,000 miles. I started the car and all of the safety lights come on as malfunctioning. I could not get the vehicle to back up out of the garage. I never put the brakes on. I finally was able to get it out of the garage and to the dealership. Two of the personnel at the dealership said they had never seen that many lights on the dash come on and some they had never seen. This is the second battery that has been put into the car and the charge was good. The car was looked at for several hours. They did not know what was wrong and reset the system some how and I went home. The paperwork said I told them the car was hard to start which I never said. Three days later upon starting the car all of the same lights and warnings came on. This time I was able to back up with no issues. I went straight to the dealer and asked them to do an ECU check. They said it could be the fuel injectors; however could not guarantee that would solve the problem with all the lights coming on. Had the car all day and came back with about 7 codes. I had to ask what the codes were as they had not been written down on my statement. I wrote them down and looked them up that night. Two of them were under warranty. The mechanic did not know the two codes were under warranty and did not look into it further. I took the car in for the third time and had the codes updated and checked. One was for the injectors which they said failed. The other was a check for spark plugs, etc. to help eliminate the source of problem. Again, they said the problem was the injectors and the cost to repair would be $2,200.00. I have requested a Good Will Repair which was over three weeks ago. Honda North America said the District Manager would be handling it and then I was told that the District Manager would let the Service Manager at Honda dealership handle it. That person has not returned my calls. I am not driving my car much and really need it badly.

Summary

The Audio Display screen will occasionally start dimming, changing functions, and continually beeping. There are no warning messages or lamps connected with this failure; it just happens randomly. This can be very dangerous if one is using GPS as a navigational aid as I often do and the Audio Display screen fails at a critical time. This problem has been reported by many CR-V owners. Examples of the failure are on YouTube. I have reported the problem to my dealer and will be taking it in to see if they can fix it soon.

Summary

The sunroof exploded on November 22, 2021. It happened as I drove under an overpass, so I thought it was the result of something falling on to it. But when the repairman couldn’t find anything within the glass, I didn’t know what to think. Then I saw a story, that was done in 2012, about exploding sunroofs on the news. My experience was similar to that of the people interviewed. The sunroof has been replaced by my insurance.

Summary

Online you can see everyone seems to have this problem to the point there's a class action suit going on I think. My battery died several times while still under warranty but the dealer said this is NORMAL for it to die after sitting for a week and some / many die after 3 days!! I feel this is VERY dangerous! What if it dies after say a trip and you're off site parked in a bad area? Or in bad weather? They did not replace and of course as soon as the warranty ran out it died for good and I had to replace it. I feel this should be looked into as a serious problem. Jim PS - I had reported a problem w/ the collision system a year or two ago....it's still fluky. Just this week it auto slammed on the brakes when I truck was on a bend in front of me so it thought I was going to hit him?? Then it happened on an Interstate! A vehicle coming on via the onramp triggered it at 70 MPH! Not a slam though but scary.

Summary

The driver's side sun visor will not stay up in the correct position it keeps falling down causing visibility issues. when I'm going down the interstate at 70 miles an hour and The driver side sun visor decides to just go from the correct position and fall down into my line of view especially at night there's a couple of seconds there where my eyes get taken off the road to deal with it and that shouldn't happen. I consider this to say the issue it's no different than your phone ringing and looking down to see who's calling because when it just falls down in front of your face those couple of seconds something could happen. I get my Honda CRV serviced regularly at the dealership and I've mentioned it to them and they've offered to let me order one and pay for it and they would put it home but I'm still paying the car off. So I guess my only option is just to take it off completely not replace it and then just hope that the sun isn't really bright one day and calls me to get an accident because I'm blinded because I don't have a sun visor anymore

My son and I entered my car that was parked in my driveway. We heard a noise. Upon getting out of my car and checking to see what happened, my sunroof had shattered. I immediately called the police because I thought maybe it was a stray bullet. The police did not see a bullet. My sunroof shattered for no reason. Had I been driving and the panel had not been closed, glass would have gone everywhere and my son and I could have been injured

Summary

While driving on a busy interstate in the rain my car completely lost power and started sputtering. It felt like it was out of gas, however, the gas light was not on and I had about 1/4 tank of gas. I was only able to make it to the on ramp and not completely off of the interstate. Once the car was shut off it would not restart. We had it towed to the dealership where we still have an extended performance warranty. It was a Saturday night so I did not hear from the until Monday morning. The service tech said they believed it was out of gas but I explained there was no warning and shouldnt have been out of gas. When the tech called back he again said it was out of gas and that was it so I pushed to do more. The manager called back the next day and stated since i have an extended warranty they will run diagnostics. That came back it was the fuel pump module. This has been recalled on other 2018 Honda CRV's but my VIN was not included. The tech acted like he was not even aware there had been a recall.

Summary

I have had my car immediately stop with a hard brake when there isn’t a car in front of me. It has happened four times in the past quarter. The last time was this past week when my car braked suddenly gong 40 miles per hour on a busy street. Luckily there wasn’t a car in front of me or to the back of me. It would have resulted in an accident. The car also did the same thing on I-15 Highway a month ago when my husband was driving. It stopped suddenly with no obstruction or car ahead of him. It was frightening. Luckily there was not car to the back of him or there would have been an accident. I called the dealership and talked to my service advisor. He said there’s nothing they can do unless they can get the problem to replicate. It will be difficult to replicate the issue in a 10-minute look of the car when it happens so intermittently. I am pleading with Honda to take this seriously. There WILL be an accident, death or injury.

My car dashboard went crazy, all lights lit up and various problems flashing. Took my car in and today they are telling me a fuel injector problem will cost $2,500 to repair. That they have never seen this. However, when doing research the 2017-2018 Honda CRVs are having issues with this and yet a safety recall hasn't been issued.? This is my 3rd Honda and will probably be my last. Very disappointed in this one. Nothing but issues. Tire pressure monitor system is screwed up as well that started after it was a week old. If a vehicle is having issues, why isn't a recall been made?

I had been running errands, driving, made 2 stops. When I cranked the car at the 3rd stop, the Dashboard warning system lights all come on and won’t go off. This includes the TPMS System, Brake Failure warning light, Emergency Brake Light, Lane Assist, VSA warning, etc. The car was drivable, so I took it to the dealer in December 2020. They said battery was low and I bought a new one. October, 2021, it happened again. The battery was under warranty, so they changed it out for a new one. Today, 2 weeks later, November 2021, it happened again. The dealer is keeping it for diagnostics. No resolution yet. The vehicle has less than 25k miles, but of course not under warranty because it was purchased more than 3 years ago.

Summary

All warning lights come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle has under 100k miles on it. As a result, when operating vehicle, many safety features are unable to be used: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Adaptive Cruise Control Braking System Failure Power Steering Failure Vehicle Stability Assist and a myriad of other warning lights. This makes this vehicle, purchased for many of these safety features, UNSAFE and a hazard. Fuel injectors should not be failing so early in the life cycle of a vehicle. Speaking with Service Advisors at the dealership this is a manufacturing issue with other models, but not with this model. Research on the internet and Honda forums indicates this is a KNOWN ISSUE which Honda REFUSES to make right. Instead consumers are forced to pay outrageous repair fees and usually only at their dealerships due to the specialty of the parts involved. Honda should be addressing this manufacturing issue rather than forcing consumers to pay for their mistakes with a virtually brand new car.

Vehicle stalled when accelerating to overtake another vehicle. No errors/warnings, displays were working but speed suddenly dropped and does not increase no matter what. It was scary. Luckily I was able to come back to a shoulder lane and stop the vehicle. Vehicle ran normally after powering off and starting again. I've been driving the vehicle for couple of hours on freeway by then. This happened 4 times over the summer. Dealers are asking for $200 to diagnose but not promising that they will be able to find the problem since the issue does not happen consistently. I suspect it is due to oil dilution problem for which Honda performed repair last year.

We were driving across Florida on 1-10 on final leg of a 3-day trip. At 73 miles per hour the center display went crazy. We got in short order an ACC warning and numerous other alarms in the driver information center under the speedometer. This continued for a minute. After slowing down and pulling off the road and shutting down car, the problem went away. The following Wednesday , the center vehicle display in city traffic went crazy beeping and flashing brighter then darker. The brightness setting slider bar came on and would not go away. The radio signal changed channels and volumes. A loud beeping similiar to the verification tone when inputting settings was going off repeatedly. Nothing stopped the above warnings until my wife arrived home and we shut down the engine. The only way to stop all was to shutdown the center display completely

This has happened several times in my vehicle now. On city streets I have had the collision avoidance system activate when there is no obstruction whatever. I was traveling 35-40 mph once and the system slammed the brakes on with with little or no warning. There was NO obstruction ahead and the car behind me nearly rear ended my vehicle. This has literally made me scared to drive my vehicle as it seems to be totally random as where and when it may occur. I sometime get the BRAKE light and audible notification, but again this comes on with NO obstruction ahead of me including other cars.

Car suddenly lost power and dash lights came on while I was passing a large truck, legally, on rural highway. Was unable to pass truck and had to fall back and thankfully no vehicles were coming in opposite direction. Was a pass with caution area with dotted line. Had to have towed to dealership, found to be issue with turbo. Research shows know issue with vehicle, see NHTSA service bulletin 19-032, but Honda states does not involve my VIN number, though exact issue, model, and year. I think this issue should be expand to include all vehicles of same make, model and year.

Summary

On 10-8-21 at approximately 1:00 p.m. my wife and I were driving on a main suburban street at roughly 30 to 35 mph when the brakes suddenly engaged by themselves. I did not have the Cruise Control on at the time. Out of the corner of my eye I think I saw the "BRAKE" message flash on the dashboard display. There was no vehicle in front of us, or any other kind of object. Luckily, the cars behind us were not close enough to cause a collision. Occasionally in the past the "BRAKE" warning light has come on at lower speeds when there didn't seem to be any reason for it. This is obviously a safety issue. I called the Honda dealership where I bought the car to make an appointment to have the problem checked out. The service rep said there is "usually a reason when this happens, such as reflection". He said there are no recalls as a result of this problem.

Summary

Grinding noises were heard in the car twice, before the engine stalled. The car was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Could not restart the car at all, and check engine lights were lit on the dashboard. After 5 minutes passed and after multiple tries to restart the car, the engine started and I was able to get to safety. Upon dealer inspection, the cause was the air condition compressor locking up, possibly due to a leak in the refrigerant. This is confirmed by the car blowing hot air even in AC mode. The lock up caused the engine to stall and go into fail safe mode. This meant the car was stopped and unable to restart in the middle of a busy intersection. Because the car's engine was stopped, it was not possible to get the car moving again. It was incredibly dangerous for me and my passengers, as well as other cars on the road. Even when the lights changed, I was still stuck. There were cars driving around my car, causing more potential traffic incidents. The engine was not able to be immediately restarted, which put multiple cars in traffic in danger for longer than necessary. The car is being serviced by Roush Honda (100 W Schrock Rd, Westerville, OH 43081). Prior to the failure, there were no warning signs and no other issues. This was a sudden and completely unexpected engine stall due to the AC Compressor Failure. This issue is common among CRV (2017 to 2020). https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t72370_ds1082603. There is also another NTSHA notice on this car related to the AC Compressor Leak. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189868-0001.pdf Please recall this car. This issue puts everyone in an incredibly dangerous situation.

Summary

My 2018 Honda CR-V loses power and acceleration when driving, sometimes on the freeway. In addition, the computer system goes haywire and lights up all the engine failure lights. I've taken the vehicle to a mechanic four times for this problem, twice to a Honda dealership; the diagnosis each time has been a faulty fuel injector that spews gasoline into the oil. According to Consumer Reports, this problem has been common with the 2017 and 2018 models of this vehicle, and the Honda Co. agreed to extend the warranty on these models to cover the repair of a common problem among the models in these years. However, this visit to Honda of Bedford, Ohio, the dealership has kept the vehicle for four weeks because the Honda corporation refuses to repair a fuel injector that spews gasoline into the oil pan. The fuel injector was faulty but Honda won’t take responsibility. It’s a fire hazard as well as it could cause an accident when it loses power. especially in a high traffic area. My request is to compel the Honda Corporation to cover the cost of this repair in that the fuel injector in may of the 2017/2018 models were faulty from the factory.

Summary

Our 2018 Honda CR-V SUV EX 2WD is a very good vehicle except we can't rely on it to start. Since buying it new in April, 2018 we have had to have it towed or jump-started six times because the battery has been drained. Many other owners seem to have similar problems; online it has become known as a "parasitic battery drain" problem. There are at least two class-action suits at present we know of concerning the same problem, one In Iowa, and another in Florida. Also on three different occasions we experienced the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems display flashing indicating some features are not working while driving -- for no apparent reason. However, the systems gradually return to normal after the vehicle has been stopped, re-started, and driven again for several miles. We don't know if the two issues are related (see NHTSA Complaint 11361514). Not being able to start in an out of cell-phone area or an unpopulated area is a serious safety concern. Additionally, I carry a portable, battery-powered oxygen concentrator that can't be recharged when the CR-V won't start and the battery is dead. We have records and documentation to support our CRV problems. We are on our third SUV battery - a top-of-the-line from AAA - and have been doing such obvious things as checking our garage nightly to make sure a dome light isn't on, etc. There are no preliminary cues that we have noted such as lights become dimmer, etc. prior to the non-starting times. Four of six times have been during daylight hours. On one occasion we were able to restart the vehicle using a portable lithium battery power pack; on another this booster failed to start the SUV and we had to call AAA. Our "home" Honda service center has sincerely tried but failed to diagnose the problem and neither was the major Honda garage in Albuquerque, NM able to this past summer. Two different complaints with Honda Motors of America remain unanswered as of today. Honda isn't supporting their dealerships.

Summary

I have a 2018 Honda CRv EX-L (Certified Preowned). On June 16th 2021 while on the way to get an oil change a few warning lights came on the dashboard, (LKAS, Brake system, ACC, Collision Mitigation), the cruse control and driver assist stopped working also a brake light came on. My mechanic ran a diagnosis and the codes that showed on the report were code U30006-16 and code P2583-76 he advised that I take the car to the Honda dealer to get it fixed. The next day June 17th when I started the car the warning lights were all off. I called the Honda dealer in Forth Pierce Florida later that day to make an appointment to have the car looked at but was told that unless the lights are on that they would not be able to run a diagnosis for the problem and to call again if the lights came back on. On September 4th while in Tampa Florida the warning lights all came on again for the 2nd time. I called the Honda Dealer in Tampa and was able to make an appointment for September 9th 2021. On September 6Th 2021 when I started the car, the warning lights were all off again. I went in to the Honda Dealer in Tampa on September 9th. Hoping that they would be able to fix the problem even though the warning lights were now all off again. I told them of the codes that showed when my mechanic ran the diagnosis on June 16th. (code U30006-16 and code P2583-76). I left the car with them and went off to school. Later that day they ( Tampa Honda) called to inform me that my wave radar had been misaligned because something like a rock must have hit it while I was driving. I was also told that the replacements are back ordered so I needed to come get my car. I was also told that Honda would not cover the cost of the repair because the radar being hit causes it to no longer be under warranty. I personally feel that if something as a little rock is going to disable the whole HONDA

Summary

Was driving on a city road on a sunny day with no obstructions in the road (approximately 10:20 AM, 9-26-21) and my car engaged the automatic braking (collision mitigating braking system) briefly for no reason while my foot was on the gas. It disengaged quickly after and luckily the car behind me did not rear-end me. I pulled off the road to disengage the CMBS shortly after. I filed a similar report for my other Honda car, a 2016 Civic (incident report 11366753 in October 2020), and have not heard anything back. At the time I took that to multiple Honda dealers and they all said there was not an issue with the system. I find this to be a huge issue that the braking system will engage with no warning when there is no obstruction in the road. For the last incident, it had to do with a steel plate that was on the road in a construction zone. This time there was nothing whatsoever. The system is supposed to have 3 levels of warning. The first is just a flashed warning on the dash telling you to brake. This happens all the time with our cars, most of the time for no valid reason, however the car does not engage the brakes. The second level is when the brakes start to engage and that appears to be what happened today. The third level is when the car engages the brakes and brings it to a complete stop which is what happened last October to me, causing another car to rear-end me. A quick internet search shows I am certainly not alone in this and I feel this needs to be addressed via a recall or software update.

Summary

Turned on vehicle and all warning lights come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle has under 100k miles on it. As a result, when operating vehicle, many safety features are unable to be used: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Adaptive Cruise Control Braking System Failure Power Steering Failure Vehicle Stability Assist and a myriad of other warning lights. This makes this vehicle, purchased for many of these safety features, UNSAFE and a hazard. Fuel injectors should not be failing so early in the life cycle of a vehicle. I"ve had many vehicles and have never had this type of issue and especially not so few miles. Research on the internet and Honda forums indicates this is a KNOWN ISSUE which Honda REFUSES to make right. Instead consumers are forced to pay outrageous repair fees and usually only at their dealerships due to the specialty of the parts involved. Because they are sold in a kit and all must be replaced essentially this smells like a money grab by Honda. Its deceit and makes one question if Honda should continue to receive ones business going forward.

Summary

On September 15, 2021, my car suddenly went into a hard brake for no reason. I was driving on a residential road mid-day, no other cars, people or animals were on or near the road. It braked hard enough to throw me forward. I was going 25 miles an hour. 5 minutes before, I was driving on a busy urban street and 10 minutes before, I was on a freeway. If the braking action had happened earlier, there would have been at least one collision. I have not taken it into Honda yet after this incident because I am leaving town, but will take it in when I return. This same vehicle performed a soft break on a freeway a few months ago. Once again, no other vehicles around I have taken the car into Honda and complained about the braking mitigation warnings coming on for no reason in the past. They told me there is nothing they can do about the automatic safety features malfunctioning. I have tried turning the CMBS off, because of prior problems. The car is available for inspection. The problem with the CMBS malfunctioning started within a few months of purchasing the car.

Summary

On 9/7/2021 at 10am, my car (housed in a garage) would not start. It unlocked electronically, but when I put my foot on the brake pedal it felt soft and when I depressed the start button, nothing happened. Everything on the car was locked/frozen and would not respond. There were some alerts (related to brake failure) showing on the dashboard and the headlights and taillights were on. I was able to lock the car manually but the lights stayed on. I had it towed to the repair service, they found that the battery had only 8 volts. Nothing else looked unusual on the diagnostic. They had no explanation for the occurrence. The battery was original, Honda factory installed, 3 years old and the car has <7,000 miles on it. This happened very suddenly with no warning. Car had been functioning with no problems noted until then. Something had caused a sudden drain on the battery. (I had not left any lights on.) When I searched online for possible explanations, I found numerous reports of sporadic, sudden battery failures with recent Honda cars, as well as TSR from Honda asking to have removed batteries returned to them. This is a potential safety issue. What if it had occurred when parked on a street after dark when everything was closed? I believe Honda should acknowledge the problem and find a solution other than continually replacing the batteries.

When driving about 25 mph, the dashboard lit up with "Brake", gave a warning sound then the brakes applied automatically very hard. There was nothing in front of me that I needed to brake for. It was frightening for me and the front side passenger that this happened without warning, and we both lurched forward. Luckily we both had seatbelts on. I called the dealer and they said I need to have the sensors adjusted. I declined in that the car is out of the 3 year warranty (only 33k miles) by 2 mos and I would have to pay to have this "safety feature" fixed. I can't figure out how to turn this "feature" off permanently but can push a button upon each start up to turn it off. Disappointed in Honda that they don't address this.

Summary

Malfunctioning A/C unit - July 2020 noticed no cool air coming through while A/C was on. Had a dealer in WA look at it and they found A/C discharge hose leaking. They couldn't fix it since the part was not in stock and I was in the process of moving out of state. Then took it to a different Honda dealer in OK in August 2020 and they tested it and also said discharge hose was leaking, they replaced hose - evac and charge system - a/c working as intended. This was within warranty so no charge, mileage 24,675. Then once it got hot again and tried to use the A/C, it wasn't blowing cold air again. Took it to the Honda dealer again June 2021, mileage 28,428 and they said now it's the receiver pipe is leaking, the other pipe. Per their notes, the service recommended is to replace 1 line and perform a/c service (looks like the a/c line from compressor to the condenser is leaking and needs replaced.) But now it's out of warranty by a couple of months. This seems to be an issue with 2017 - 2019 Honda CRV's from seeing it on multiple posts from other Honda owners. I haven't had the work done on this yet so it can be inspected again or I can send you the invoice that states this information. Please help with this known issue with CRV's.

Third time 6/14-15/21, 43,293 miles, they kept my car, said last software update wasn't completed. On 6/18/21 the safety warning lights came back on. They have not answered my question, because this is happening, is my car safe to drive? My concern is, the warnings lights are telling me there is a problem, but the dealership is not. So are these safety features working, or disabled while they stay on.

Summary

The infotainment display screen on my 2018 Honda CR-V with 10,000 miles is prone to “regularly and unexpectedly” malfunction while a vehicle is in motion. It will spontaneously freeze, dim or go dark and start beeping. or go into full-brightness mode all on its own, which can be particularly dangerously distracting to a driver. The beeping was constant and a "Brightness" bar kept popping up and it would self adjust than go dark again. It is intermittent, so you never know when it will happen. It is a safety issue. I went to Capitol Honda in San Jose,Ca and talked to an adviser to ask if there has been a recall on the touch screen and they said no and that they have never heard of this problem. I also went to Victory Honda in Morgan Hill, Ca and they also said no recall on the touch screen and they have not heard of any problems with the touch screen, The advisor said that they could run a diagnostic test for $190.00,but I declined. If you do a search on the web for this problem you will see many other people also have this same problem, but Honda will not acknowledge that there is a problem.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND INTERSTATE THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HOUSES THE GPS AND CLIMATE CONTROL (DEFROST) SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE CAR SETTINGS (ADAS) AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON THE GPS FOR NAVIGATION AND YOU LOOSE THE DIRECTIONS YOU GO INTO A PANIC SITUATION TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT. WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS AND YOU CAN'T USE THE DEFROST SYSTEM IT BECOMES A VISIBILITY ISSUE. DEALERSHIP HAS UPDATED THE SOFTWARE BUT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX 2WD IN FLORIDA APRIL 2018. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I TRAVEL THROUGH INDIANA AND OHIO DURING THE YEAR, INCLUDING WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CAR AND HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE IN THE OIL ESPECIALLY IN WINTER MONTHS WHEN I AM TRAVELING NORTH. I CALLED HONDA CORP ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND THE TSB 18-114 AND TSB 18-124 THAT WERE ADDRESSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT ONLY COVERS NORTHERN STATES. I EXPLAINED THAT I TRAVEL THROUGH NORTHERN STATES DURING THE YEAR AND HAVE EXPERIENCED GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AND ALSO IN THE OIL. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER WHEN I AM IN INDIANA AND OHIO DURING THE WINTER. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS I AM AT WORK AND UNABLE TO TAKE THE TIME OFF TO GO TO A DEALER, NOT UNTIL I GET HOME TO FLORIDA AND THEN THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GONE. SO I AM ONLY REQUESTING THAT TSB 18-114 AND 18-124 BE APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE ALSO. THE "FIX" TO OIL DILUTION SHOULD NOT JUST BE APPLIED TO NORTHERN STATES WHEN MANY OF US TRAVEL THROUGH NORTHERN STATES IN THE WINTER. I AM GOING TO PURSUE THIS IF I DON'T HEAR BACK FROM HONDA CORP AFTER THEIR PREVIOUS CALL TO ME DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. I JUST WANT THE TIB'S APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE.

HAPPENS MAINLY AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN STOPPED OR ROLLING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT PURPOSELY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT WILL. HOWEVER, IT AVERAGES HAPPENING EVERY APPROXIMATELY ONCE PER WEEK. IT HAPPENED 4/2/2021, ON A HEAVY TRAFFIC LOOP AND CAUSED A FENDER BENDER ACCIDENT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Summary

THE HEATING/ COOLING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION VERY WELL IN COLD TEMPERATURES. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE CABIN TO HEAT UP IN THE WINTER, AND ON SHORT TRIPS IT DOES NOT HEAT UP SUFFICIENTLY, EVEN WHEN I LET THE CAR "WARM UP" IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE I DRIVE AWAY. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A MINOR INCONVENIENCE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE WINDOWS KEEP FOGGING UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE REAR WINDOWS ARE HARD TO KEEP DEFROSTED AND VISIBILITY IS VERY LIMITED WHEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE AND HAVING TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO LOWER MY BACK WINDOWS IN ORDER TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT, BUT THAT IS ALSO LIMITED BECAUSE THE WINDOWS DO NOT GO DOWN ALL THE WAY. I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN THEY FOG UP BECAUSE I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE BEING UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS PROPERLY. FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

Summary

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WITH THE ENGINE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE RPM INSTANTLY AND ABRUPTLY INCREASES FROM 700 RPM TO APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM. THE VEHICLE MOVES AHEAD SUDDENLY WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND CAN REACH A SPEED OF 7 MPH ON LEVEL PAVEMENT. THE SAME ACCELERATION OCCURS WHEN I AM MOVING VERY SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPACE OR GARAGE AND MY FOOT IS PRESSING LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL -- THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPS" AHEAD, REQUIRING INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT ACCELERATION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AHEAD WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEREFORE THE VEHICLE COULD IMPACT THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, A WALL OR PARKING BARRIER AHEAD OF IT, OR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN FRONT OF IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO HONDA DEALERS FOR THIS CONDITION (SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 AND MARCH 12, 2021). THE FIRST SERVICE REPORT STATED "SYSTEM SCAN FOUND NO DTCS, ROAD TESTED AND FOUND ALL NORMAL." THE REPORT FROM THE SECOND DEALER STATED "CHECK AND FOUND NORMAL/PROPER OPERATION." THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (NEW) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT NORMAL AND HAS THE DEFINITE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, OTHER VEHICLES, PROPERTY, OR PEDESTRIANS. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Summary

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT EXISTS IN MY 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ON MY HONDA WILL, ARBITRARILY, CYCLE THROUGH VARIOUS MENUS AND START BEEPING LOUDLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DIVERTS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IT IS UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING AND IT COMPLETELY DESTROYS A DRIVER'S SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 2017-2019 CR-V AS WELL AS OTHER HONDA MODELS. IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS FAILURE MODE CAN BE FOUND ON YOUTUBE. HONDA, HAS SUGGESTED THAT THE SOFTWARE IS AT FAULT AND ISSUED AN UPDATE, BUT THIS HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, I WRITE THIS LETTER IN THE HOPE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TAKES ACTION AND INVESTIGATES THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES ON HONDA FORUMS OF DRIVERS BEING DISTRACTED AND REMOVING THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD AS THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTS FLASHING AND BEEPING INCESSANTLY.

Summary

3WKS FEB23, 2021 I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CRV I WAS LOOKING AT SOME CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT OIL DELETION IN THE ENGINE, I'M VERY WORRIED BECAUSE I DO GET A GAS SMELL INSIDE MY CAR, FROM THE EXHAUST AND WHEN I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. IT DOESN'T SHOW AS A RECALL BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING AND I'M WORRIED THE VEHICLE WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES.

Summary

MY CAR SKIDDED AND FAILED TO STOP IN ACCEPTABLE DISTANCE/TIME IN ONE INCH OF SNOW NEARLY CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH PEDESTRIAN IN ROADWAY. I WAS ALARMED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED MY MECHANIC TO EVALUATE ANY BRAKING DEFECTS. I WAS INFORMED MY TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32ND AND THUS HAD LITTLE TREAD LEFT TO GRIP ROAD SURFACE. MECHANIC NOTED ALL ALIGNMENTS AND ROTATIONS WERE TIMELY PERFORMED BY OWNER OF VEHICLE . I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE VEHICLE IS A 2018 HONDA CRV WITH 18000 MILES . THESE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. YOU CAN IMAGE MY SHOCK THAT TIRES WORE OUT SO FAST AND DRIVING VEHICLE IN SECURITY IS NOW QUESTIONABLE. TIER MANUFACTURER HANKOOK IS DENYING TIRE DEFECTIVENESS EVEN THOUGH HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS PROVED HANKOOK LIABLE AS NO VEHICLE DEFECT IS DISCOVERED. I ASK YOUR ORGANIZATION TO EXAMINE THIS TIRE FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURE AND NOTIFY CONSUMERS THAT TIRE IS UNRELIABLE.

Summary

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.

Summary

I WAS ON HIGHWAY I35 HEADING TO DALLAS DRIVING 70MPH. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 18 WHEELERS AND OTHER TRAFFIC ZOOMING BY ME HONKING DUE TO MY SPEED DRASTICALLY DROPPING. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS TERRIFIED I WAS GOING TO GET SLAM INTO BY ONE OF THE MANY SEMI-TRUCKS. IT WAS TERRIFYING. CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED. CLEO BAY HONDA (KILEEN, TX) SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE OF ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY TO HEAD BACK TO GEORGETOWN AND THE SAMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN. I AGAIN WAS FORCED TO CROSS 2-3 LANES BY COASTING TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THEY NOW ARE GOING TO REPLACE ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR'S SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN, FEARING THE 3RD TIME I WILL BE KILLED. I DODGED TWO BULLETS WITH THIS CAR, WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO DODGE ANYMORE? VERY SCARY! THIS CAR WAS PROGRAMED TO SHUT DOWN WHEN A MISFIRE OCCURS BUT THEY FAIL TO CONSIDER WHERE THE DRIVER MIGHT BE WHEN IT HAPPENS. TWICE IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND I LOST ALL SPEED WITH CARS/SEMI-TRUCKS GOING 70-75MPH PAST ME AND I AM FORCED TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE FEAR THAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WAS STILL FRIGHTENING AND TO HAVE IT HAPPEN A SECOND TIME WAS TERRIFYING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING IT. IF NOT ME SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT!

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.

Summary

DRIVING CAR ON SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE A A MISFIRE OCCURRED CAUSING A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THROTTLE CONTROL WAS DEFEATED BY DESIGN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN A LANE WITH NO SHOULDER AND SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO CYCLE KEY A FEW TIMES AND THROTTLE CONTROL WAS RESTORED UNTIL CAR MISFIRED AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TALKED TO LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS BY DESIGN, TO PROTECT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN THE EVENT OF A MISFIRE..THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO PROTECT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND STILL LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL POWER. MANY MANUFACTURERS SIMPLY CUT FUEL DELIVERY TO THE CYLINDER THAT IS MISFIRING, LEAVING YOU LESS POWER BUT STILL SAFE TO DRIVE.. THIS PROBLEM IS A SIMPLE FIX FOR HONDA WITH A REFLASH. THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS CREATED BY A SIMPLE SPARK PLUG ISSUE ON ONE CYLINDER.

Summary

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.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS PARKING MY CRV AND ALL OF MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. MY CRUISE. LANE KEEP ASSIST OTHER FEATURES ARE COMPLETELY DISABLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MY DEALERSHIP STATES I NEED FUEL INJECTORS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, AND HONDA IS VERY AWARE OF THIS FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM. THEY ACTUALLY PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PLACE ON THE POWERTRAIN TO REMEDY THIS . UNFORTUNATELY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FUEL INJECTORS.ON ONE OCCASION. NOV. 3 2020, MY CAR STALLED WHILE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTERWARDS I SMELLED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY CAR. I HAVE SMELLED THIS ODOR SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR JAN. 2020. IT HAD 89K MILES ON IT. I DID NOT THINK THIS NEW CAR WOULD NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO HONDA WANTS OVER $1100 TO PUT FUEL INJECTORS IN. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. THE DREAM MOTOR IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA KNOWS IT. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE ANYONE WILL PAY ME ANY ATTENTION. HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM THEREFORE I AM ASSUMING IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE, AS I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR. I AM A NURSE AND TRAVEL ON MY JOB. I HAVE NO CRUISE, LANE KEEP ASSIST, LANE STABILITY OR ANY OF THOSE FEATURES. I DONT KNOW HOW THIS CAR WILL PASS INSPECTION LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. GOOGLE PROBLEMS WITH 2018 CRV. .....HONDA KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO ME. THANK YOU.

Summary

FLORIDA ARBITRATION CLAIM IN PROGRESS: AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, THE CRV NAVIGATION DISPLAY SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION. THIS INCLUDES FREEZING, CHANGE IN BRIGHTNESS, LOSS OF FUNCTIONS SUCH AS NAVIGATION CONTROL, RADIO CONTROL AND CAMERA CONTROL. ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME AS THE SYSTEM WILL LOCK UP AND IF THE HANDS FREE IS IN USE A SCREECHING NOISE WILL OCCUR UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN STOPPED AND COMPLETELY RESTARTED AS THIS OCCURS ONLY WHILE THE CAR IS IN OPERATION AND MOVING.. THE ONLY TEMPORARY FIX HAS BEEN TO RESTART THE CAR UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE A/C WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING. HONDA HAS REPEATEDLY SATED THAT THE ISSUE IS AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY PHONE SAYING THAT MY SAMSUNG IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE CAR IS FEATURE SPECIFICALLY WITH ANDROID AUDIO.

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.

Summary

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED HONDA CRV FROM HONDA OF JOLIET. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED THIS SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE. TO BE SURE, I HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HE MENTIONED THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHEEL BEARING OR THE BRAKES. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 31, I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SERVICE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I HAD NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES. I WAS CONFUSED AND STEVE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE SERVICE DEPT. RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES. I GO TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE DIFFERENT. THE BRAND WAS ADVANTA TIRES. LOOKING ONLINE CONSUMER REPORTS FOUND THE ADVANTA HAD AN AVERAGE TREAD LIFE OF 44,500 MILES COMPARED WITH AN AVERAGE OF 71,000 MILES FOR ALL THE TIRES. IN ADDITION, THESE TIRES HAVE POOR PERFORMANCE IN WINTER CONDITIONS. AFTER SURVEYING THE DEALER LOT, I AM VERY CONFUSED AS TO WHY THESE TIRES WERE CHOSEN AS THE OTHER VEHICLES ALL HAVE BETTER TIRES (E.G. CONTINENTAL, BRIDGESTONE, AND MICHELIN). PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING, MY VEHICLE NOW DRIVES WORSE THAN BEFORE..ON FRIDAY, I EMAILED THE OWNERS OF THE DEALERSHIP, MIKE, HORST, AND RICK KORALLUS. OF THE THREE, MIKE KORALLUS RESPONDED AND GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP BY SERVICE. AFTER WORK I DROVE BACK TO JOLIET TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, HOPING THE TIRES HAD BEEN ORDERED AND REPLACED AND THE NOISE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND JAVIER ONCE AGAIN GAVE ME AN INADEQUATE EXPLANATION. THERE IS NO WAY THESE TIRES ARE MAKING IT THROUGH THE WINTER. NOW, I MUST MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER TO MAKE SURE THAT MY INITIAL ISSUE IS RESOLVED. IN FURTHER RESEARCH, NO OTHER TIRE RETAILER INCLUDING WALMART CARRIES THESE TIRES.

I WAS DRIVING 40MPH ON A CITY STREET IT WAS A SUNNY 83 DEGREE DAY WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY CRV SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BY ITSELF. THE SPEEDOMETER TURNED ORANGE AND SAID "BRAKE". THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FALSELY DETECTED SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING. WE JERKED TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ALMOST HITTING US. MY SON, DOG, AND I WERE EXTREMELY SCARED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS A LITTLE OFF BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER REASON THAT THE CMBS WOULD MALFUNCTION? I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV'S EQUIPPED WITH THIS FEATURE AND HONDA HAS NOT DONE A RECALL BUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF CALIFORNIA.

Summary

2018 CR-V (~38,200 MILES) UNEXPECTEDLY HALTED (LOSS OF POWER - ENGINE KEPT RUNNING) GOING ~35 MPH ON LAKEVILLE HWY/116 IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND SHOWED ENGINE/EMISSIONS CHECK LIGHT AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSTIC CODES P061B ECM/PCM INTERNAL MALFUNCTION (TORGUE CALCULATION), C1870-00, U0401-68, U3003-S6 WERE SEEN. PER AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS (AHM), DEALER WAS TO CLEAR CODES AND TRY AND REPLICATE MALFUNCTION WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO HAVING DRIVEN IT 60 MILES. AHM WOULD NOT REPLACE ECM/PCM AS DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. I HAD SAFETY CONCERN SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT DEALER PAID $~441 TO HAVE ECM/PCM REPLACED. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH CODES SHOULD MANDATE CAR COMPANY TO ENSURE SAFETY OF OWNER WITH PAID REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PART. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, NOT REPLACED THE PART AND SUBSEQUENTLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.

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.

IN ADDITION, MY CAR WILL ALSO UNEXPECTEDLY BEEP AND SIGNAL TO ME THAT I MUST BRAKE, AGAIN, WITHOUT A CAR BEING IN FRONT OF ME, AGAIN, WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. THE HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINTS, WHICH I SEE AS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING, PARTICULARLY IF THE CAR BRAKES ON A FAST MOVING INTERSTATE, AND THEY ARE "UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY SENSOR ISSUES." THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY IS PATENTLY UNTRUE AND THE OCCURANCES REGARDING THE SENSOR "BRAKE" MESSAGING IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.

THERE WAS NOTHING. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKES, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, THAT THEY WERE FINE. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN 9 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 8 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

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 WAS RIDING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, NOT ANOTHER CAR, ANIMAL OR STOPLIGHT IN SIGHT AND THE AUTOMATED BRAKING SYSTEM SLAMMED ON BRAKES SO HARD IT BROUGHT ME TO A STOP - IF I HAD NOT HAD A SEATBELT ON IT WOULD HAVE THROWN ME INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN KILLED. NOTHING WAS IN SIGHT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH BUT WHEN I GOOGLE IT I FIND THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEADLY PROBLEM, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HWY? *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 16 MILES ON IT; I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT LEAKED OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER MY GARAGE AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD A SIGNIFICANT OIL AND TRANSMISSION LEAK. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO BE REPAIRED. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE IT DUMPED ALL THE OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND THEY HAD TO FIX IT FOR A SECOND TIME. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T ANY OIL LEFT IN MY ENGINE AND THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE.THEY SAID THIS NEVER HAPPENS, BUT IT DID TWICE. MY 36,000-MILE WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP, AND I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. LAST TIME IT LEAKED, IT TOOK THEM THREE MONTHS TO FIX IT. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY WHEN I BOUGHT MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER. IT'S A SHAME I BOUGHT A LEMON, AND I'M PAYING MONTHLY FOR IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE MY CAR START LIGHT ALWAYS BLINKS ON AND OFF ALSO, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO, MY TOUCHSCREEN HAS FROZEN AND LET THE RADIO ON FULL BLAST WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *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

WORSE - I COULD NOT GET INTO THE REAR HATCH (DEALER SAID NOPE - CAN'T - NO BYPASS) TO GET MY JUMPER CABLES! AND CAR WAS IN A GARAGE (50+ DEGREES). GARAGE ALSO MADE IT HARD TO JUMP AS WAS PULLED IN FORWARD! THIS IS ALL SCARY AND MUST BE FIXED BUT DEALER SAYS NORMAL. HE SAID SOME DIE IN A COUPLE / FEW DAYS AND IT'S NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL? AFTER JUMPING IT I HAD TO RESET SO MUCH / DASH WAS LIT UP - RADIO DIDN'T WORK. 17 DAYS IS NOTHING FOR A CAR TO SIT AND DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE DIED THE FIRST WEEK. THEN WHAT - NO ALARM - NOTHING.

Summary

FROM THE DATE I PURCHASED (SO HONDA ALREADY KNEW OF PROBLEM) MY VEHICLE OIL IS BEING OVER FILLED (AND DILUTED) WITH GASOLINE. IT DILUTES AND OVERFILLS TO THE POINT OF PCV VALVE BURN OFF. NOW 33000 MILES ON AUTO, HONDA WANTS TO CHANGE INJECTORS TO "SEE" IF THIS SOLVES PROBLEM. ONE: IT'S HAPPENED SINCE NEW. INJECTORS OR DOUBTFULLY THE PROBLEM. TWO: 33000 MILES OF GAS/OIL DILUTION HAS UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED WEAR TO CRANK AND CYLINDERS. HOW IS INJECTORS BEING REPLACED GOING TO "SOLVE" THE WEAR THAT THEY HAVE ALLOWED, SINCE MY CONTINUED CONCERNS AT EVERY SINGLE OIL CHANGE FOR 33000 MILES WERE IGNORED? I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, BUT VERY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE. ONE: WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS FOR 33000 MILES? TWO: WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINING FROM THE START OF DILUTION, WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED THE WEAR TO MY ENGINE? AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT STOP THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY HONDA IGNORING MY COMPLAINTS FOR 33000 MILES TO START A REPAIR. NOTE, I HAVE ADDRESSED OVERFILLING WITH GASOLINE AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (GARAGE VISIT) TO THE POINT OF ARGUMENT JUST TO GET IT DOCUMENTED THAT I RAISED THE ISSUE! IT DILUTES TO PCV VALVE BURNOFF BEFORE 1000 MILES (AS TESTED AND VERIFIED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP!) AND GOES FOR AT LEAST 5000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. EVERY DAY MORE GAS AND OIL ARE BURNT THROUGH EXHAUST AS MORE GAS IS ADDED. I WILL COMPLY WITH THE INJECTOR "FIX" BY THE GARAGE, BUT WANT MY WEAR TO THE ENGINE ADDRESSED. THIS IS GROSS OVERFILLING AND DILUTION, KNOWN BY HONDA, AND SOLD TO ME ANYWAYS, WITH NO REPAIR AS OF YET TO WEAR. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND THEY HAVE ALLOWED SUCH GROSS DILUTION AND WEAR? THEY ARE CLAIMING A "COLD CLIMATE" PROBLEM, BUT MY DOES IT IN THE HEAT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUMMER! HONDA IS COVERING UP.

Summary

WHILE IN MOTION THE CR-V CONTINUES TO BRIGHT LIGHT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY WHILE THE VOLUME OF THE STEREO GOES CONSTANTLY FROM LOUD TO MUTE, AND THE DOOR LOCK/ UNLOCKS BEING CONTINUAL. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, USAGE OF FUEL DRASTICALLY INCREASED, NOTICED OUR THROATS HURTING/ VOICE HOARSENESS/ COUGHING/ PASSENGER PASS OUT UNTIL WINDOWS ARE CRACKED OPEN (CARBON MONOXIDE?). CONSTANT SPUTTERING, NO HORSEPOWER, CAN'T STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES SAYING ROAD DEPARTURE (CLEARLY WE ARE NOT DEPARTING THE ROADWAY). DOORS TO THE BACK HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO OPEN THEM, CAUSING THE CHILDREN TO PANIC IN FEAR OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START HAS ONLY WORKED (2) TIMES IN A YEARS TIME. THERE HAS BEEN A BUZZING/ HUMMING MOTOR SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR OVER (5) HOURS. GASOLINE HAS NOW BEEN NOTICED IN THE OIL. THE DASH PERIODICALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS (DIMMING/ BRIGHT LIGHTS) DOES NOT WORK, AND HAS ONLY WORKED (1) TIME. A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT HAS SMOKED, LIKE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ANYTIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. FEARFUL OF TRAVELING IN THE CR-V, WE DO NOT USE AFTER DARK, THE AMOUNT SPENT ON FUEL HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED AND WE DO DRASTICALLY LESS DRIVING IN THE CR-V SINCE THE INCREASING FUEL USAGE. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S DIFFICULT CORRECTING THE STEERING WHEN IT IS PULLING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

Summary

09/2019- TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE IN FAST LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC APPROX. 79MPH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF & NUMEROUS VEHICLES BEHIND ME. A VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE SWITCHED LANES IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING MINE TO HIT THE BRAKES, LOCKING UP, SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS IN THE MEDIAN THE 2ND VEHICLE WAS INCHES FROM ME. MY PASSENGER (CHILD IN BACK) SAFELY STRAPPED, HAD A WHELP & BURN ON RIGHT SIDE OF NECK/CHEST FROM SEATBELT. SOLUTION DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL. 11/2019 ON VACATION THE VEHICLE SHOWED LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH, PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE PRESSURE, ALL TIRES WERE OKAY. TRAVELING ON A 3 LANE BUSY HIGHWAY,IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BRAKE WOULD ENGAGE ALONG WITH THE STEERING, JERK TO THE LEFT, "LANE DEPARTURE" ON THE DASH. IT TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PULL AGAINST THE VEHICLE KEEPING IT ON THE ROAD. NO GUARD RAIL ON THE ROAD. PULLING AGAINST THE STEERING PREVENTED MY CRV FROM GOING OVER THE MOUNTAIN. I COULD NOT HAVE THE ECON ON, IF ON, THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD REACH IN THE CRV WAS 35MPH. WITH THE ECON OFF 45 MPH WAS THE HIGHEST SPEED THE TRAVEL SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS BETWEEN 65-70MPH. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. I TOOK THE CRV TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ONCE I WAS HOME IT WAS KEPT FOR A WEEK. THEY FEEL LIKE A SOFTWARE UPDATE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I LATER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM BE AWARE THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SAID THEY MADE HONDA AWARE, BUT DID NOT. I HAD A CASE WITH HONDA, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MY EMAILS NOT REPLIED AND THE MESSAGES LEFT ON THE VOICEMAILS, NOT RETURNED. I HAVE CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIMES, SPOKEN WITH SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSURED MY CALL WOULD BE RETURNED, NOTHING. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY NO LONGER WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH ANY ISSUES. THIS IS FRUSTRATING. MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN ARE IMPORTANT ALTHOUGH HONDA ISN'T THINKING THE SAME. MAJOR DEFECTS IN THE 2018 CR-V

Summary

YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING AT 68MPH, WITH NO VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME OR BESIDE ME, AND NO OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY AT ALL, THE VEHICLE SELF-APPLIED THE BRAKES FIRMLY. THIS WASN'T A GRADUAL SLOW DOWN, IT WAS IMMEDIATE AND THANKFULLY THE LARGE BOBTAIL TRUCK BEHIND HAD AN ATTENTIVE DRIVER, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND THE RESULTS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OTHER TIMES, BUT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. AGAIN, THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CR-V...EXCEPT AIR AND CONCRETE. THIS EVENT GOT MY ATTENTION AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA OF TOMBALL AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE. THE CR-V IS THERE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND NOTHING AGAINST HONDA OF TOMBALL, AS THEY ARE GREAT, BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION. APPARENTLY, HONDA HASN'T EVEN SENT THIS DOWN TO THE DEALERS? WE PURCHASED 2 HONDA VEHICLES A MONTH APART, DUE TO THEIR ADVERTISED RELIABILITY AND SAFETY RATINGS. WE ABSOLUTELY WANT THE ADDED ELECTRONIC SAFETY FEATURES, AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE ACCIDENTS AND INJURY. THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE HONDA SENSING IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF ADMISSION TO THE ISSUE ISN'T STATED AND A REAL RESOLUTION ISN'T PRESENTED BY HONDA. IT WAS ALMOST ME YESTERDAY. THIS IS IN NO WAY AN EXAGGERATION. HONDA, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT VEHICLE MISFIRED AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. LOST SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PARKED CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CAR STARTED TO REV ITSELF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT PUSHING THE PEDAL. ALL SYSTEM ALERT INDICATORS CAME ON INDICATING ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL & ENGINE COMPONENTS. TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED. CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY NOTICED MISFIRES AS WELL WHEN TESTING AND CAR WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE FOLLOWING IN DIAGNOSTIC REPORT: "FOUND ENGINE OIL TO BE OVER FILLED. CODE P0300 RANDAM MISFIRE. THERE WAS GAS IN THE FUEL - PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND UPDATED THE PGM - FI SYSTEM" AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CRV 2018 MODELS, BUT THERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THAT GAS GETS IN TO THE OIL PANEL AND DILUTES THE OIL WITH GAS. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAD OUR CAR MISFIRED AT HIGHER SPEED THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL ALSO ASSUREDLY EFFECT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES ENGINE AS OIL IS DILUTED BY GAS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL TANK AND CAUSING STALLING AND MISFIRES ISSUES JUST AS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. IT WAS NOT UNTIL WE TOLD THEM WE FOUND INFORMATION ON IT OURSELVES DID THEY RECOGNIZE IT. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT OUR PARTICULAR VIN HAD ALREADY HAD THE UPDATE AND FIX THAT WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN IT DID NOT REMEDY OUR VEHICLE, AND THIS IS STILL A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO RECTIFY WITH ITS CUSTOMERS.

Summary

ON DECEMBER 22, 2019 I WAS HEADED TO CHURCH ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY AND HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, A LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD CAR HAULED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WHERE I HAD IT MAINTAINED. I HAD THE VEHICLE HAULED OVER TO DEALERSHIP ON A TRAILER TO AVOID DRIVING IT. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED, THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL TO THE ENGINE WAS BLOCKED BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT BLOCKED THE OIL. HEARING METAL TO METAL IT COULD HAVE BEEN SHAVINGS FROM THE METAL RUBBING TOGETHER. IT IS JANUARY 9, 2020 AND I AM STILL WITHOUT A MY CAR. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT READY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020. HOWEVER, WHEN I DROVE OFF IN IT, THE ENGINE WAS ROARING. SO, I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK AND LEFT IT ONCE AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY ONCE AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I WORK IN 53 MILE AWAY. I TEST DROVE IT AND THE ROARING SOUND WAS STILL THERE. THEY (THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT) THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES SO THEY ROTATED THE TIRES AND STILL HEARD THE ROARING SOUND. THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A 2018 VEHICLE. I FELT THE ROARING WAS STILL IN THE ENGINE. I WILL HOPEFULLY PICK MY CAR UP ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 IN HOPES THE ROARING SOUND IS GONE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE THE 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE OIL. NEVERTHELESS, A 2018 HONDA TOURING SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND NOW I FEEL THE VALUE OF MY CAR IS DEPRECIATED.

HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND COMMONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IF YOU USE A USB STICK TO PLAY AUDIO THROUGH THE CAR STEREO WILL TEMPORARILY FREEZE AND REQUIRES YOU TO PRESS THE SCREEN AGAIN TO RESUME THE MUSIC PLAYING. THIS ISN'T MUCH OF A SAFETY CONCERN EXCEPT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE USING THE REAR CAMERA TO BACK UP. THE SCREEN WILL STOP SHOWING A LIVE FEED AND JUST SHOW WHAT IS SHOWING WHEN IT FROZE. PEOPLE MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THE PICTURE ISN'T LIVE AND CONTINUE THINKING THAT EVERYTHING IS CLEAR BEHIND THEM. THANKS TO GOV'T REAR CAMERAS ARE BEING REQUIRED. THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING SADLY LESSENS THE SAFETY OF A CAR RATED AS A TOP SAFETY PICK BY YOUR ORGANIZATION (NOT BLAMING YOU FOR NOT NOTICING IT) 7/26/19 I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA OF PRINCETON WHO WASN'T ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE NOR DID THEY INSTILL CONFIDENCE THAT THEY'D BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS EXPLAINS THE DELAY IN REPORTING TO YOU. I SPOKE WITH HONDA 12/26/19 (CASE 10111741) AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DIDN'T HAVE A FIX AT THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT USB DRIVES WITHOUT SUCCESS. I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP IN APPLYING PRESSURE FOR A FIX TO BE ISSUED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

I OWN A 2018 CRV PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2018. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A SLIGHTLY DRIZZLY, APPROXIMATELY 45-ISH DEGREE MORNING THIS WEEK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG/EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHT CRACKLING NOISE RIGHT OVER MY HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY SUNROOF SHADE SHUT AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK (ABOUT A 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD), I DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BECAUSE I PULLED THE SHADE CLOSED, THE GLASS DID NOT FALL IN TO THE VEHICLE SO THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. MY ROUTE IS ONE I DO DAILY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE AN OVERPASS OR OVERHANGS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING HAD BEEN THROWN/FALLEN ON MY ROOF. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE BODY/ROOF. I BELIEVE THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO AN OUTSIDE BODY SHOP TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALER'S FINANCE OFFICE ABOUT MY WARRANTY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO GLASS REPAIR IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SUBMIT UNDER MY COMPREHENSIVE CAR INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE DID ULTIMATELY COVER THE DAMAGE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RELUCTANT AS THEY FELT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH MORE FORCE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000RPM. WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKES FIRMLY, I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN CONFIRMED THAT MY FOOT WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE PEDALS AND NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THERE HAPPENS TO BE A POLICE OFFICER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME AND HE CAME UP TO MY VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND HE SUGGESTED I START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I DID SO AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN ABOVE 3000 RPMS. THE POLICE OFFICER CONCURRED THAT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL AND I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN. BY THIS TIME A SECOND OFFICER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. AFTER CONSULTING BRIEFLY, THEY WERE ABOUT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK FOR ME WHEN THE SECOND OFFICER SUGGESTED THAT I TRY STARTING THE VEHICLE ONE MORE TIME.

WHILE DRIVING LEISURELY ON A WINDING ROAD CALLED SULLIVAN TRAIL, SCOTRUN PA WE RECEIVED AN ALERT ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD: "BRAKE SYSTEM ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" (RDMS). THE RDMS BUTTON WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. WE WERE ABOUT 2 MINUTES FROM HOME SO THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND PARKED. AT HOME, WE PRESSED THE RDMS BUTTON AND IT DID NOT LIGHT TO ENGAGE. THROUGH GOOGLE SEARCH, WE FOUND OUT OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AT THE APPROXIMATE 5000 MILE MARK. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT RAY PRICE HONDA IN STROUDSBURG PA IN NOVEMBER 2018. IT HAS HAD ONE OIL SERVICE CHANGE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AT THE 5000 MILE MARK. CURRENTLY, IT HAS 5570 MILES. WE UNDERSTAND FROM AN ARTICLE ONLINE THAT HONDA DOES NOT GIVE WARRANT ON THIS ISSUE WHICH COULD COST 3000 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN MAINLY FOR SHORT AND CAREFUL DRIVES AROUND STROUDSBURG -- FOOD SHOPPING AND THE LIKE FOR OUR HOME. WITH SUCH LIMITED DRIVES, IT SHOULD SURELY BE MORE RELIABLE.

Summary

ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CRV AUTO BRAKES HARD AND LANE KEEP FOLLOWS THE WRONG LINES. 2 EXAMPLES OF BRAKING: 1 - A PICKUP TRUCK WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT ON ME. AS A HUMAN I STARTED TO GO AROUND HIM TO THE LEFT AS HE TURNED BUT MY AUTO BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME CAME WITHIN INCHES FROM REAR ENDING ME THEN GOT ROAD RAGE AND CHASED ME FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO! COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! 2ND WAS ON A BEND IN THE ROAD - A WHITE MOVING TRUCK COMING THE OTHER WAY ON THE BEND MADE MY AUTO BRAKES LOCK UP HARD / NEAR A FULL STOP! THIS HAPPENS OFTEN BUT NOT USUALLY TO THESE EXTREMES. LANE KEEP - WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE AND LK ON I WENT THRU A RECENT CONSTRUCTION AREA AND MY HONDA STARTED TO FOLLOW OLD LINES AND PAINTED OVER W/ BLACK PAINT LINES - NOT THE NEW LINES FROM AFTER THE REPAIRS! IT WAS SCARY - ALMOST DROVE ME INTO A BARRIER! ON 1200 MILE TRIP TO FLORIDA MY CAR OFTEN WOULD HIT THE BRAKES FOR REASONS I COULD NOT TELL OR GO OUT OF THE NORMAL ROAD LINES OR THE ACC WOULD SLOW THE CAR TO A CRAWL FOR TRUCKS IN THE OTHER LANE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - THEY SAY NPF. ONE GUY DID SAY TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY WHICH I DID BUT IT STILL BRAKES WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. MY WIFES CAR DOES NOT REACT THIS WAY.

3 TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FWY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, LANE CONTROL ACTIVATED, AND THE DISTANCE SET TO MINIMUM, WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, THE CAR DETECTED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF ME AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN APRIL OF 2019 AND OCT OF 2019. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DIRT ON THE MILLIWAVE RADAR, FOUND CODE P2583-97, I FOUND THIS TO BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SPOTLESS. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN ASKED HOW THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT 10 MILES DOWN A BOLSA CHICA RD. I TOLD THE SEVICE PERSON THAT THAT WAS NOT THE SAME CONDITIONS AS I WAS DRIVING AND THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR UP TO 65 MPH WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45 MPH AND IT WASN'T A FWY. HER RESPONSE WAS WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE CARS ON THE FWY. I SAID THEN HOW ARE YOU DO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MULTABLE ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SOLVED YET. ALL I GET IS THE SAME ANSWER, CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS SOLD NEW AND THE PERSON BEFORE ME TURNED THIS CAR IN WITH ONLY 8000 MILES ON IT FOR A NEW CAR THAT THEY COULD TRUST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AD COULD CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THATS NOT MY FAULT.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2018 CRV EXL IN LATE NOVEMBER 2018. SINCE THEN THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN CHIPPED TWICE (REPAIRED BOTH TIMES) AND CRACKED TWO OTHER TIMES - REQUIRING WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT AT $1,200 (OEM) EACH TIME. I'VE DRIVEN THE SAME NORMAL PAVED ROADS/HIGHWAYS THAT I'VE DRIVEN FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS - HAVING ONLY EXPERIENCED TWO WINDSHIELD CRACKS ACROSS ALL MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES DURING ALL THOSE YEARS. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE COMBINED WITH ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER GEN5 HONDA CRV OWNERS AND OBSERVATIONS BY THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR SHOP INDICATE THAT GEN5 HONDA CRVS HAVE INSUFFICIENTLY STRONG/DURABLE OEM WINDSHIELDS. AS A RESULT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SHOULD MY FAMILY BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, MY INSURANCE AGENT HAS INFORMED ME THAT ANOTHER WINDSHIELD REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CLAIM IS LIKELY TO INCREASE EITHER MY INSURANCE PREMIUM OR DEDUCTIBLE - ACCORDINGLY I PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE LAST CHIP REPAIR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO DESIGN A STRONGER REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD AND/OR EXTEND THE WARRANTIES TO COVER WINDSHIELD DAMAGE.

THE BLUETOOTH DISENGAGED AND I HEARD THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY CLICK TO LOCK (THEY WERE ALREADY LOCKED). I ASSUME THESE ARE BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK OVERRODE THE MANUAL LOCK FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK; I COULD NOT EXIT THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED MANY TIMES TO USE THE FOB OR TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO NO AVAIL.I HAD TO EXIT USING THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK REFUSED TO WORK UNTIL I USED THE PHYSICAL KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. USING THE PHYSICAL KEY APPEARED TO RE-SET THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM AND IT THEN WORKED NORMALLY.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V IN MAY 2018, IT WAS NEW, WITH 717 DEALER MILES ON IT. IT CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA HL 422 PLUS TIRES IN SIZE 235 65R17 AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. AT 9,292 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES. ON SEPTEMBER 28TH I WENT ON VACATION AND CAME BACK OCTOBER 5TH. ON A PERFECTLY CLEAR DAY, NO HAZARDS IN THE ROAD, ON INTERSTATE 26 NORTH OF FLORENCE, SC, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR NEXT TO ME BACKFIRING. BUT THEN I HEARD THE DREADED FLAPPING SOUND OF A FLAT TIRE ON MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSTATE AND PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHICH WAS ON THE LEFT REAR. I THEN SEARCHED ON MY PHONE FOR THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I STILL HAD ABOUT 140 MILES TO GET HOME, AND DID NOT WANT TO RISK IT ON THE 'DOUGHNUT' SPARE TIRE. I FOUND ONE IN SUMTER, SC, ABOUT 25 MILES OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WENT THERE. THEY PUT ON A NEW TIRE WHICH COST ME $167.52. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I BELIEVED IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. HE SAID 'LET'S LOOK ON THE INSIDE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY METAL OR OTHER DEBRIS'. THERE WAS NONE. JUST AN INNER SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. HE BAGGED THE TIRE UP FOR ME. AND I CONTINUED HOME. MONDAY OCTOBER 7TH I WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED TO THE PARTS MANAGER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOOK THE TIRE. HE AGREED THAT IT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. HE GOT NO POSITIVE RESPONSE AT ALL FROM BRIDGESTONE, AND I CALLED BRIDGESTONE MYSELF. I GOT STONEWALLED AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. BUT HE KEPT DIGGING AND FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO OFFER WHAT THEY SAID WAS HALF OF THE VALUE - $45 - BUT HE TOLD THEM NO, LET'S SEND THE TIRE IN AND MAKE A DETERMINATION AFTER YOU RECEIVE AND INSPECT IT. I GOT A CHECK TODAY $63.01 FOR MY DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE TIRE SELLS ONLINE FOR $159. THEY KNOW THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. *JS

MY 2018 CR V HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 5 TIMES. BASICALLY ON MY MORNING COMMUTE FROM NORCO TO LOS ANGELES I SPORADICALLY GET AN ERROR MESSAGE, ROAD MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM PROBLEM ALONG WITH A BRAKE LIGHT CYCLE THROUGH MY DASHBOARD AND ALL THESE SYSTEMS FAIL TO WORK. THIS WILL LAST THE REST OF MY COMMUTE AND ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN I DRIVE HOME LATER ON IN THE DAY. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, THEY SENT IT HOME WITH ME BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ERROR CODES, PROBLEM STILL PRESENT. FINALLY THIS LAST TIME THE TECHNICIAN ADJUSTED SOME CAMERAS TO SEE IF THAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM, IT DID NOT. MY CAR IS STILL IN YOUR SHOP AT PENSKE ONTARIO AND THE TECHNICIAN WHO CALLED ME YESTERDAY SAID THIS IS A NORMAL FEATURE OF THIS CAR, AND THE HONDA HOTLINE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPORTED. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR IS PICKING UP SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING IT TO FAIL. MY COMMUTE IS AT 4AM ON A NON BUSY FREEWAY, I HAVE NOT NOTICED CONSTRUCTION NOR MAJOR ROAD DAMAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE THE PROBLEM, I DRIVE THIS COMMUTE A LOT AND THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN THEN. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEIR IS NO SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM AND I AM GIVEN A GENERIC ANSWER. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THE CR V. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THEY WILL BE DOING NOTHING FURTHER FOR MY PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES

I WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME FOR A 1/4 MILE. IT HAD RAINED OVERNIGHT AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE SLIGHTLY DAMP BUT NO PUDDLES. I WAS CROSSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR'S 'BRAKE' ALARM (FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM) FALSELY TRIGGERED ON THE DASHBOARD AND INSTANTLY SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND BROUGHT MY 2018 CRV TO A DEAD STOP. MY CARGO WENT FLYING FORWARD AND MY HEAD JERKED FORWARD HARD. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. NO CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE FOR SURE CRASHED INTO MY CAR. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THAT AFTERNOON. THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. THEY CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THERE "WERE NO TROUBLE CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLE". THEY SAID THEY "CONTACTED HONDA AND THERE WERE 'NO KNOWN ISSUES' AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR ME". THEY SUGGESTED I TURN OFF THE FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM IF I WAS CONCERNED. THIS IS CRAZY AND HAZARDOUS. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT PUT ME (AND OTHERS) IN DANGER LIKE THIS. THANK GOD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. I PRAY THEY AREN'T WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL OR WARNING REGARDING THIS.

Summary

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON I-90 IN MASSACHUSETTS IN THE TRAVEL LANE AT BETWEEN 65-68 MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED; THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST FEATURE WAS NOT ACTIVE. IT WAS AROUND 7:00 PM. NO CARS IN THE PASSING LANE. A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS ABOUT 200-300 FEET IN FRONT. THE DASHBOARD CHIMED AND DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING THREE WARNING MESSAGES: COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME EACH MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED A CHIME SOUNDED; THE MESSAGES CONTINUED TO ROTATE THROUGH THE DISPLAY FOR THE NEXT THIRTY MINUTES. THE MESSAGES STOPPED WHEN WE GOT HOME AND PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN PARK. ADDITIONALLY, THE LIGHT FOR 'BRAKE SYSTEM' (NEAR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE) CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE (IT JUST HAPPENED THAT IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN OIL CHANGE); I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED; THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON THE VEHICLE SAID NO CODES WERE BEING DISPLAYED. HE TOOK IT FOR A RIDE BUT COULD NOT GET THE MESSAGES TO COME UP (IT ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME). THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS PROBABLY 'JUST A GLITCH'.

Summary

MY 2018 HONDA CR V HAS THE 1.5 LITRE TURBO ENGINE. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED REGARDING THE MIXING OF THE FUEL/GAS WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN THE NORTH, HOWEVER, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE HERE IN OKLAHOMA. UPON ENGINE START THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SEATING. I HAVE ALSO NOTED INCREASE OIL LEVELS IN THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. ALSO THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE OIL DIPSTICK. I AM WRITING TO INQUIRE IF HONDA MOTOR COMPANY INTENDS TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THE SMELL STARTS AT THE MOMENT THE ENGINE IS STARTED.. THE CAR CAN BE STATIONARY AND I CAN STILL NOTICE THE SMELL OF FUEL. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF FUEL IN THE CRANKCASE WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THESE ENGINES. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER WITH HONDA? THANK YOU.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CUT THE CAR OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE POSTING HERE..... WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE AREN'T GOING THRU THIS PROCESS TO REPORT. ISN'T THIS DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO BE INVESTIGATED AND PROVIDE FOR A RECALL. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOAD IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER THE VIDEO I TOOK, BUT I'LL USE THE DATE OF THE VIDEO.

A MINI SCHOOL BUS WAS HEADING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION ABOUT 2 CAR LENGTHS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY TWO GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BREAKED HARD SENDING ALL MY THINGS ON THE FLOOR AND SCARRING MY GRANDDAUGHTERS. I WAS SHAKEN MYSELF BEING NEARLY REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I TOOK IT IN TO ATLANTIC HONDA, AND WAS TOLD ' NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND ON THE COMPUTER AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE'. 'NEVER HAD ANYONE COMPLAIN OF THIS'. I ALSO ADVISED THEM, THE BREAK LIGHT FLASHES 'OUT OF THE BLUE' WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I FEEL ON EDGE DRIVING THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF IT WILL BREAK UNEXPECTEDLY!

Summary

SAFETY LATCH OF THE HOOD FAILED AND THE HOOD CAME UP WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING AND REACHING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THANKS TO LOW SPEED AND NO TRAFFIC I COULD MANAGE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FATAL CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE GONE TO REVISION IN THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, THEY ARGUED THE VEHICLE PASSED THE MECHANICAL TEST AND THEY REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNSAFE, POOR DESIGN OF THE LATCHING SYSTEM. IT WORTH TO MENTION THAT: 1- THIS VEHICLE HAS THE HOOD RELEASE INSIDE, ACCESSIBLE FOR EXAMPLE TO KIDS, BUT THERE IS NO WARNING INDICATOR AT ALL WHEN THE SAFETY LATCH IS ACTIVATED, OR THE HOOD IS NOT FULLY CLOSED. 2- THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE DASHBOARD LIGHT WARNINGS SIMILAR TO THE ALERT FOR LATERAL DOORS OR REAR DOOR AJAR, EVEN THOUGH THE LATTER CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DANGEROUS THAN A HOOD OPENING INCIDENT. 3- THE HOOD SAFETY LATCH CLEARLY FUNCTIONS PROPERLY WHEN LIFTED UP UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE CAR STOPPED. HOWEVER, THE SAFETY LATCH FAILS DUE TO CONTINUOUS CHANGES IN THE DIRECTION AND MAGNITUDE OF THE RESULTANT FORCES DUE TO VIBRATIONS, WIND LOAD, ETC. THIS LATCH CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A 'SAFETY' DEVICE, IF IT DOESN'T NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY UNDER ALL REASONABLE CONDITIONS. 4- THIS 2018 YEAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW BY THE CURRENT OWNER, AND ALL MAINTENANCE CARE IS UPDATED AND ALWAYS COMPLETED BY OFFICIAL (I.E. LICENSED) HONDA SERVICE CENTERS.

GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. A WARRANTY REPAIR WAS DONE JAN 2019 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IN SEPT 2019 THE ENGINE OIL WAS NOTED TO BE ABOVE FULL AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR FURTHER REPAIR BUT NO FURTHER REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AND BECAUSE HONDA CLAIMS THIS TO BE "A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR, NO OIL CHANGE WAS DONE EITHER. HOWEVER, THE HONDA 2018 CR-V MANUAL CLEARLY POINTS OUT THAT OVER FILLING THE OIL MAY LEAD TO LEAKS OR ENGINE DAMAGE. COPIES OF THE REPAIR RECEIPT AND HONDA OIL OVERFILL WARNING ARE ATTACHED.

Summary

MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE JUST ABOVE ONE OF THE AIR VENTS (IN MARCH 2019) OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT TO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR IT FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR, AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF IMPACT. I TOOK IT INTO HONDA (HONDA OF LISLE) THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE THEM INSPECT IT AND THE DEALERSHIP DEEMED IT "NON-IMPACT" CAUSED BASED ON THEIR INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, SINCE IT WAS WINDSHIELD DAMAGE, THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO SUBMIT IT TO THEIR REGIONAL DIRECTOR WHO WOULD MAKE THE FINAL CALL AND DETERMINE WHETHER IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE HONDA AS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE UNDER THE WARRANTEE (THE CAR WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD). AFTER SUBMITTING IT TO HIM, CUSTOMER RELATIONS INFORMED ME, SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THAT THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR DEEMED THE CRACK "IMPACT CAUSED" BASED ON HIS VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE PICTURES THAT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD SENT HIM, CONTRADICTING THEIR DECISION. I APPEALED AND GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM SAFELITE, WHO DEEMED THE CRACK NON-IMPACT CAUSED AS WELL. AMERICAN HONDA REJECTED MY APPEAL. I ALSO DISCOVERED A FORUM DISCUSSING SIMILAR CRACKS OCCURRING ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I RELAYED THIS INFORMATION AND HONDA STILL REFUSED TO COVER THE WINDSHIELD UNDER THE WARRANTEE. I WROTE A LETTER TO CORPORATE, AND HONDA AGAIN, REFUSED. I ASKED CUSTOMER RELATIONS UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS HONDA WOULD COVER WINDSHIELD DAMAGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP ALONE WOULD HAVE TO RULE IT A DEFECT. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DEEM THE CRACK A DEFECT BECAUSE IT WAS GLASS RELATED, AND REQUIRED UPPER MANAGEMENT APPROVAL. AFTER SPEAKING WITH HONDA REPRESENTATIVES AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT WHEN IT CAME TO GLASS AND SIMILAR NON-STANDARD WARRANTY CLAIM, THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE WARRANTY AND REVIEW PROCESS THAT PUT OTHER CUSTOMERS IN SIMILAR POSITION AS ME

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN THERE IS NO IMMINENT DANGER. SOMETIMES IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT EXITS ONTO AN OFF-RAMP AND SLOWS DOWN. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT IN FRONT OF MY CAR, THE AUTO BRAKING TRIGGERS. IN OTHER SITUATIONS THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCERNABLE REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO TRIGGER, CREATING A SIGNIFICANT DANGER OF BEING REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR FOLLOWING ME. IN THE LATTER CASE, IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THERE THERE IS A COMMERCIAL-SIZE TRUCK IN THE RIGHT LANE - USUALLY NOT SLOWING DOWN OR MANEUVERING IN ANY APPARENT WAY.

2018 HONDA CRV EX: MILEAGE 20,165. UPON ACCELERATING WHILE PULLING THE CAR ON MAIN ROADWAY, THE CAR DROPPED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH AND THEN WOULDN'T REACH PAST 35MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND STARTED TO BLINK. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONLY AGGRAVATED THE SITUATION. ABOUT A MILE LATER THE CAR STOPPED/STALLED TRYING TO GO UP A HILL. I TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED 10 MIN AND RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO GO ANOTHER 1 MILE TO HOME, I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO GO OVER 25 MPH, BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT MADE SURE I DID NOT GO OVER 30MPH, AS I DID NOT WANT IT TO STALL. DURING THE DRIVE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. WAITING TO HEAR BACK.FROM THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY HONDA AND ALL 2017/2018 CRVS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA AND EUROPE, BUT NOT THE US.

AFRAID THIS CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE! ENGINE OIL IS GETTING DILUTED WITH FUEL DUE TO THE TURBO ENGINES ON THE 2017 -2018 HONDA CRVS. I NOTIFIED STEVENSON HENDRICK HONDA IN DECEMBER 2018 OF A FUEL SMELL IN CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING AND AN MIL (MALFUNCTION ERROR CAME UP & ALL SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED UNTIL I CUT CAR OFF AT NEXT STOP AND RESTARTED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR ON 12/24/18 AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN DUE TO FUEL SMELL IN CABIN & WE HAD CHECKED OIL & THE DIPSTICK REAKED OF FUEL & WAS WAY OVER THE HIGH MARK. TOOK CAR ON 8/10/19 AND I MADE SERVICE MANAGER TONY CHECK OIL IN FRONT OF ME TO VERIFY FUEL WAS IN IT. THEY SAID THEY CHANGED COMPUTER MODULE AND DID SOME UPDATES TO FIX & TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON 8/1/717 AT 8;00 FOR INSTALL OF SPARK PLUGS THEY ORDERED. DROVE 40 MILES BACK HOME AND FUEL WAS ALREADY IN THE OIL AGAIN! CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK TO LET THEM KNOW I WANT THE OIL/OIL FILTER CHANGED AGAIN ON 8/17/19 WHEN THEY DO SPARK PLUGS AND THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK OIL IN CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AS WELL & SPOKE TO "CAT". SHE WASN'T HELPFUL AT ALL AND REFUSED TO TELL ME WHY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE THEY SENT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FUEL DILUTION IN THE OIL. IT ONLY REFERRED TO ERROR CODES & WHIRLING NOISE IN ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING IN "COLD WEATHER REGIONS" AND THAT I AM THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF. I TOLD THEM THAT IF PEOPLE DON'T CHECK THEIR OIL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TELL THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR OIL THAT THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE CONSUMERS.THIS CAR SCARES ME ME & I'M AFRAID MY ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE FROM THIS ISSUE!

ON JUNE 24, 2019, I WAS APPROACHING AN AREA ON A CHICAGO, IL, RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHERE A CREW HAD PLACED METAL PLATES IN THE ROAD TO COVER UP A HOLE OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL SLOPE ON A SUNNY EARLY EVENING, WITH THE SUN BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I WAS PROBABLY TRAVELING ABOUT 20 MPH. AS I APPROACHED THE METAL PLATES, THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC BREAKING KICKED IN AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN ABRUPT, IMMEDIATE STOP. THE BREAKS SQUEALED AND YOU COULD SMELL RUBBER FROM THE TIRES BURNING. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. ONCE WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. THERE WERE NO FURTHER INCIDENTS SINCE THEN. A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAD OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT IN THAT CASE THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKES ACTIVATED BUT DISENGAGED BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. THAT WAS ON A SLIGHT UPHILL SLOPE, HOWEVER., GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED.

NOTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. IF A VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. A MALFUNCTION SUCH AS THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME I DID NOT HAVE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND HAD NO CONTROL OF GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING ASSIST SYSTEM ACTIVATED. THIS VEHICLE IS A TIME BOMB FOR ANYONE DRIVING IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD.AND ONE WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

I WAS DRIVING SATURDAY 27, 2019 ABOUT 9:00 AM IN THE PULASKI SKYWAY IN NEW JERSEY THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE DISPLAY WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF UNTIL THE CAR STALL AND THE ENGINE JUST STOP WORKING BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS( EVERY SINGLE ONE) JUST KEPT GOING ON AND OFF. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AS YOU MAY KNOW THE PULASKI SKYWAY HAS NOT PLACE TO PULL OVER, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE TRAFFIC JAM THAT MY BROKE DOWN CAR CAUSE. THE WEEKEND OF THE 07/21/2019 I HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CABIN AND WHEN I CHECK THE OIL DIPSTICK IT WAS OVERFILL AND HAD THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE I CALLED THE DEALER PLANET HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR TO CHECK ON 07/25/2019, THE SAME DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE SMELL OF GASOLINE AND THE OVERFILL ENGINE OIL WAS NORMAL.

ACCORDING TO BLACKSTONE LABS.OIL ANALYSIS USING OIL FROM THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 5K MILES ON 1/2019 OIL CONTAMINATED WITH GAS FROM DIRECT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM PROBLEM. DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM DUE TO STICKING ACCELERATION PEDAL. THIS HESITATION HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE IS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS FUEL CONTAMINATION OF CRANKCASE OIL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM REGARDING CITY & HIGHWAY DRIVING THAT ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN TRAFFIC FLOW. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO AVOID HAVING TO NEED TO ACCELERATE CAUSING MAJOR HESITATION (FLAT) & ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK IN DOWN ( TO FLOORBOARD) POSITION.

THE AUDIO CONTROL PANEL (RADIO, HEAT, LIGHT BRIGHTNESS, ETC) HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND AT TIMES WILL GET INTO A MODE WHERE IT CYCLES ALL THE CONTROLS ON-OFF-CHANGING VOLUME-BRIGHTNESS-SWITCHING RADIO STATIONS AND OTHER THINGS. IT HAD BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FAULTS FOUND. I FINALL MANAGED TO CAPTURE THIS ON MY CAMERA AND SENT IT TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN REPLACED THE PANEL. NO ISSUES FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME HONDA WOULD NOT TRY TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE SUBCONTRACTOR WHO MADE THESE PANELS WAS AWARE IT HAD PROBLEMS AND "WERE WORKING ON A FIX". IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE TO TRY TO DRIVE WITH IT MAKING ALL THESE CHANGES WHILE IT BLINKS, CHANGES INTENSITY AND VOLUME. THIS IS A VERY SUBSTANDARD SITUATION.I HAVE MOVIES OF THE PANEL DOING THIS BUT NO PICTURES.

Summary

THIS IS ABOUT MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH AROUND 14,700 MILES AT PRESENT.MY WHOLE FAMILY AND A FRIEND WENT TO YAKIMA,WA FOR CHERRY PICKING.ON OUR WAY THERE FROM SEATTLE,WA WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LAKAS) SUDDENLY A WARNING FROM THE SCREEN APPEARED THAT SAYS..."POWER REDUCED - POWER GRILLE PROBLEM" AND THEN WE CAN NOT ACCELERATE THE SPEED. LUCKILY WE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY FOR EMERGENCY PARK AND WAIT FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE WARNING GOES OUT FROM THE SCREEN. WHEN IT GOES OUT WE START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING AGAIN AND AFTER 7 TO 10 MINUTES THE WARNING GOES ON AGAIN ,STOP AND GOES AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE ACC AND LKAS AND DRIVE IN A LOWER SPEED 60 TO 65 MPH IN A 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE.THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL FILL COMPARTMENT AND THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL.GASOLINE LEAKS TO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT.WHEN I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK , THE OIL IS DRIPPING LIKE WATER WITH BLACKISH COLOR BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE MIXED TO THE OIL. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR GOING TO THEM INSTEAD THE TOWING COMPANY (AAA) DO THE JOB TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.AND THE DAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GASOLINE I SMELL FROM THE COMPARTMENT IS NORMAL DUE TO COMBUSTION. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK TO PROVE TO THEM THAT IT SMELLS GASOLINE AND DRIPPING LIKE WATER WITH BLACKISH COLOR (THIS IS A NEWLY CHANGED PURE SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL /90% REMAINING).THEY DID NOT CHECK THE DIPSTICK AND TOLD ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND TOLD ME TO IT'S NORMAL.THEY SAID IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I'M JUST HOPING THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED VERY SOON.

Summary

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5T ENGINE IS "MAKING OIL". I CHANGE MY OWN OIL AND MONITOR THE LEVEL WEEKLY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE THAT I READ ABOUT IN CONSUME REPORTS WOULD NOT AFFECT ME BECAUSE I AM IN A WARM CLIMATE (FLORIDA) BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE OIL LEVEL ON MY DIP STICK ROSE ABOUT 3/8 OF AN INCH IN 5000 MILES. I CHANGED THE OIL AND WE TOOK A TRIP TO TENNESSEE IN THE WINTER AND THE OIL LEVEL ROSE SO MUCH IN THE COLD WEATHER I WAS CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD CAUSE TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE SEALS SO I DRAINED SOME OIL OUT. I WOULD THINK THAT GAS IN THE OIL WOULD SEVERELY EFFECT ENGINE LIFE. THE DEALER DENIES THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM SAYING THE THIS IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE AFTER HAVING 4500 MILES, BEGAN TO SMELL TERRIBLY OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED , DID NOT WANT TO RUN, AND STALLED A FEW TIMES BEFORE I WOUND UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE LITTLE WRENCH CAME ON, FOR A NOTIFICATION OF THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GROWLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WAITING A HOPEFUL REPAIR. HERE I AM WITH NO VEHICLE, AND A $400 PER MONTH PAYMENT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IN TODAY'S WORLD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE PUT UP FOR SALE . A VEHICLE IS DEEMED NOT SAFE, WHEN IT'S STALLS ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MP/HR I NOTICED A LARGE METAL PLATE THAT A UTILITY COMPANY HAD USED TO COVER A HOLE IN THE ROAD. AS THE CAR APPROACHED THE PLATE, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY, THROWING ME VIOLENTLY FORWARD IN THE SEAT. THERE WERE 2 CARS BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO AMERICAN HONDA CLIENT SERVICES WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND ASKED THAT THE CMBS FEATURE BE DISABLED BECAUSE I FEAR IT WILL ACTIVATE AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AT SOME POINT, CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND, OR, A REAR END COLLISION. THEY SAID THAT THE FEATURE COULD NOT BE DISABLED. IT COULD ONLY BE SHUT DOWN BY AN ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH. HOWEVER, IT AUTOMATICALLY RESETS WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. BECAUSE OF THIS UNEXPECTED AND VIOLENT EXPERIENCE, I FEEL THAT THE CMBS IS A DANGEROUS FEATURE AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'M ASKING THAT THE NHTSA GET HONDA TO FIX THE CMBS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANK YOU.

I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AND THE CRV REQUIRING TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE SERIOUS GAS IN OIL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE THAT ONETIME THIS WINTER I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING OR SNOWING THAT DAY.

TAILGATE WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACKSEAT AND WITHIN SECONDS HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOKED UP AND OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT WAS STILL ALL IN TACT, JUST SHATTERED. I LOOKED AT THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY IT WOULD HAVE SHATTERED. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR A LARGE CHUNK FROM THE MIDDLE FELL INTO THE CAR.

RADIO SCREEN RANDOMLY STARTS ADJUSTING ITS BRIGHTNESS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 4/32/19, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN ALL WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO TO MAKE IT STOP OTHER THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING BECAUSE IT IS CONSTANTLY BEEPING WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT. I TRIED TURNING THE RADIO OFF, THIS DID NOT HELP. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HIT THE DIM BUTTON ON THE SCREEN, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS IS TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY/ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE ENGINE OF OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5 L TURBO) SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST, THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY PORTLAND, OREGON, STREET ON A DARK AND RAINY OCTOBER EVENING. THANKFULLY, THE DRIVER OF THE CR-V MANAGED TO GET OFF THE STREET AND ROLL INTO A GAS STATION WITHOUT GETTING REAR-ENDED. THE CR-V WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS "OIL LEVEL ABOVE SPEC." RISING OIL LEVEL IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2017-18 HONDA CR-VS, CAUSED BY DILUTION OF CRANKCASE OIL WITH UNBURNED GASOLINE DUE TO AN ENGINE DESIGN FLAW WELL KNOWN TO HONDA. DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME/PLACE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE RECALLED IN THE U.S. THEY ALREADY BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA!

WE PURCHASED THE 2018 CR-V AND JULY OF LAST YEAR. AT THAT TIME WE HAD TWO CHILDREN AND EXPECTING A THIRD. WE KNEW ALL THREE KIDDOS WOULD FIT IN THE CRV'S BACKSEAT. WHAT WE CAME TO FIND OUT AFTER NEEDING ALL THREE SEAT BELTS, WE REALIZED THAT THERE CANNOT BE THREE PEOPLE SAFELY BUCKLED AT THE SAME TIME. MAKING OUR 5 PASSENGER CAR REALLY ONLY A FOUR PASSENGER CAR. THE BUCKLES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE MIDDLE SIDE ARE CRISS-CROSSED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT ALL THREE OF OUR CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA AND OUR DEALERSHIP WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY EXPECT ME TO KEEP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR.

WE WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN WISCONSIN, IF THEY FAIL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN 4 TRIES, IT BECOMES A LEMON. I DON'T WANT IT TO COME TO THAT BECAUSE I AM SURE THAT WILL BE A BIG HASSLE, BUT THE LONG TERM PROBLEMS CAUSED BY GAS IN THE OIL MAY BE WORSE. NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM HONDA!

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V EX IN DECEMBER 2018 FROM A NEAR-BY HONDA DEALER. WE LIVE IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD, AND DO MOST OF OUR DRIVING LOCALLY. WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS AFTER DRIVING, WE STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, AND STARTED TO GET WORSE. WE RESEARCHED OUR ISSUE, AND NOTED MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ON 2018 CR- V 1.5L TURBO-CHARGED ENGINES. IN EARLY APRIL 2019, WE HAD OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT TO CHECK OUR CABIN GAS SMELL PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER. MILEAGE 1,500 MILES. ON THE SERVICE REPORT, DEALER NOTED "CONFIRMED OIL AND GAS MIXTURE COMPLAINT. OIL LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL ON DIPSTICK. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK OIL LEVEL OFTEN". WE HAD THE DEALER PERFORM AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE DUE TO STRONG GAS ODOR IN OUR CABIN. THE DEALER INDICATED HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PART OF A KNOWN UNRESOLVED ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL IN MARYLAND YET, BUT THERE SHOULD BE IN OUR OPINION. SINCE CHANGING THE OIL THREE WEEKS AGO, THE GAS ODOR IS LESS OBSERVABLE AT THIS TIME. WE CONSIDER THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM TO BE A HEALTH CONCERN, AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE CR-V. WE ARE CONCERNED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH NO FIXES AVAILABLE IN MARYLAND. WE UNDERSTAND HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED FIXES FOR OIL DILUTION ISSUES IN NEIGHBORING PENNSYLVANNIA AND DELAWARE.

Summary

INITIAL OIL CHANGE ON 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH 1.5 TURBO ENGINE AT 2303 MILES. ONE WEEK AFTER CHANGING OIL NOTICED OIL LEVEL HAD INCREASED OVER 1/8" ON DIPSTICK AND THAT OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE (OIL LEVEL CHECK WAS PERFORMED SEVERAL HOURS AFTER DRIVING). DILUTION OF OIL WITH GASOLINE IS OBVIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL TO CONTINUED ENGINE OPERATION - THEREFORE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY NEW VEHICLE. RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE AND IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS CLEARLY PROVES THAT HONDA DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC DESIGN FLAW (NOT IN AMERICA ANYWAY). APPEARS ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, LEMON LAWS OR WAITING FOR HONDA TO MAN UP. THE OBVIOUS MISINFORMATION AND CORRUPTION OF THE MANUFACTURER TOWARD THEIR CUSTOMERS, CONCERNING THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE, IS (IMHO) DISGUSTING! IT IS NOT NORMAL OR IN ANYWAY SAFE OR OK FOR ENGINE CRANKCASES TO FILL UP WITH GASOLINE....EVER!!! THE FUEL IN OIL ISSUE IS NOT THE ISSUE (DESIGN FLAWS HAPPEN WHEN MANUFACTURERS FAIL TO PROPERLY TEST NEW DESIGNS)...HONDA'S CORRUPT TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE ISSUE IS THE REAL ISSUE AND CONTINUED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR JUST MIGHT PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS PERMANENTLY.

Summary

DRIVING MY CAR. HEARD A NOISE, STOPPED AS SOON AS I COULD. PROBABLY ABOUT 1.5 MILES. I HAD A FLAT. IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE BIG FLAT TIRES YOU GET AND YOU KNOW IT WITHIN 10 SECONDS. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON, THE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT A NEW TIRE AT THE CLOSEST TIRE PLACE. IT WASN'T THE SAME MANUFACTURER, BUT IT WAS THE SAME TIRE SPECIFICATIONS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT TIRE. I'VE DONE THAT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, WITH NO PROBLEM. WELL, THE TIRE PRESSURING SYSTEM LIGHT KEPT GOING ON. I KEPT RESETTING IT AND IT WOULD GO ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT. 10 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THE EXACT TIRE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY NEW TIRE. I DID THAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE TIRE LIGHT (TPMS) WAS ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE RESET AGAIN, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE RESET 3 TIMES REALLY FAST. (IS THIS IN THE MANUAL? IS THIS A REAL THING?) IT HASN'T COME BACK ON. WHAT CONCERNS ME, IS THE SAFETY OF DRIVING WITH A FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE WITH NO WARNING. AND IT'S SCARY DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON EVERY 10 MINUTES. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THERE'S A REAL EMERGENCY? IF A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME COME ON WITH A FLAT, WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO COME ON? WHEN YOU DON'T PUT ON AN EXACT MATCHING TIRE? WHEN YOU DON'T RESET IT 3 TIMES REALLY FAST? 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN A 2 WEEK TIME SPAN.

Summary

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN. THE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WE STEPPED IN GAS AND THE SMELL WAS FROM OUR SHOES. AFTER MORE HEADACHES AND RESEARCH, WE ARE REALIZING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CR-V'S. ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS UPON STARTING. WE PARK THE CAR IN A GARAGE. WHILE AT WORK, THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE. I WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT AND THE ENGINE WAS HESITANT TO START AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO START A CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT LAGGED AND AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES DURING THE WINTER. EACH INCIDENT WAS A SEPARATE OCCASION. EACH TIME WAS AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A FEW HOURS.

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED VIBRATING, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BURNING SMELL OCCURRED, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY VERY ABRUPTLY. IT WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AS SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT VERY FAST SPEEDS. REPORTED THE FIRST OCCURRENCE TO THE MCGRATH CITY HONDA, CHICAGO, IL IN JANUARY 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES AND THEY REPLACED SOME FUEL SENSORS AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE (DEFECTIVE PART). SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2019, COULD NOT TAKE PHOTOS AS THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. REPORTED THE THIRD INCIDENT IN MARCH 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTOR AND THEY PLACED THE ORDER FOR THE PART. WE ARE REALLY, REALLY SCARED OF DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE, MALFUNCTIONING AND HAZARDOUS VEHICLE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET LAST NIGHT AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON DRY ROADS WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC DUE TO IT BEING SPRING BREAK IN ATLANTA. I WAS DRIVING AT 48 MPH AND SUDDENLY IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE HAD STOMPED ON THE BRAKES HARD. THE CAR SLOWED VERY QUICKLY TO 30 MPH. A CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING ME AT SIMILAR SPEED HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT COULD HAVE TRIGGERED A BREAKING RESPONSE AND I DID NOT DEVIATE FROM MY LANE EITHER. THIS WAS A COMPLETELY RANDOM EVENT. 10 MINUTES LATER AS I GOT CLOSER TO WORK THE LANE DIVERSION WARNING CAME ON, AGAIN WITH ME BEING ROCKY STEADY IN MY LANE. I THINK THE SENSORS MAY HAVE BEEN READING ANY WHITES LINES IN THE ROAD, LIKE A CROSSWALK OR WHITE LANE TURN ARROW.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV EX ON 12/31/18. PLEASE SEE MY LETTER (ATTACHMENT.. I FIRST NOTICED MY TRUNK WAS NOT ALIGNED, SO I HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO BE REALIGNED. I QUICKLY NOTICED BLUETOOTH WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME THEY COULDN'T HEAR ME OR I SOUNDED LIKE I WAS UNDER WATER OR HALF THE WORDS WERE MISSING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE MICROPHONE AND FOR A DAY OR SO IT SEEMED BETTER. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT, NOW I CAN HARDLY HEAR OTHER PEOPLE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A FAX MACHINE OR BREAKS OFF THE CALL SO I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING. IF IT DOES FUNCTION, PEOPLE STATE THEY CAN BARELY HEAR ME OR UNDERSTAND ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THEIR IT DEPARTMENT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS YOU READ THE LETTER, YOU WILL SEE THAT HONDA HAS TURNED THIS ISSUE ONTO THE BUYERS. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM , THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I SENT A LETTER TO CORPORATE IN CALIFORNIA AND WALTER(THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF ILLINOIS) CALLED ME BACK AGAIN. HE SAID HE WORKS IN CALIFORNIA? WE WENT AROUND AND AROUND ABOUT THE SAME THINGS HE TOLD ME PER OUR LAST CALL. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHONES THEY HAVE LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE. I HAVE THE LATEST SAMSUNG NOTE. THE ONLY ONE THEY HAVE LISTED IS A NOTE 2 WHICH IS FROM 2012. I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA, WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THEY HAVE, CANNOT HELP ALL THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THESE NEW/USED VEHICLES?? I AM SO ASTOUNDED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THESE CARS. WALTER TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING BACK ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE THINGS GET UPDATED MONTHLY. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY CHANGES. I WILL BE WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THEM TO CATCH UP TO SAMSUNG NOTE NEWER PHONES IF THEY ARE ONLY ON 2012 PHONES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE NEED TO BE A RECALL.

Summary

ENGINE (SPECIFICALLY COOLANT USED FOR HEATING THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AIR) DOES NOT HEAT UP ENOUGH IN COLD WEATHER FOR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTERS TO WORK PROPERLY UNTIL CAR HAS BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL MILES. WHEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 40MPH IN WEATHER BELOW 32F., ENGINE TEMPERATURE REMAINS COLD, THEREFORE PROVIDING TO HEAT FOR DEFROSTING WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT HELP TO LET VEHICLE "WARM UP" PRIOR TO DRIVING BECAUSE WHEN IDLING THE ENGINE NEVER GETS WARM (TEMPERATURE INDICATOR REMAINS ON COLDEST INDICATED SETTING). THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WINDOWS ARE NOT CLEAR FOR DRIVING. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT OCCURS ANYTIME OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH -30F, AND THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURES GET COLDER.

Summary

SENSOR INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSUE WILL COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH TIRE PRESSURES WHEN THIS OCCURS (I STOP AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CHECK EACH TIRE WITH A PRESSURE GAUGE). DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS THE "TIRE SENSORS" ACTUALLY WORK BY CALCULATING THE ROTATION OF EACH TIRE, IF THEY DON'T MATCH, SENSOR GOES OFF INDICATING LOW PRESSURE. PER DEALER, SYSTEM GETS "CONFUSED". ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO PULL OVER AND STOP, THEN USE A SPECIAL "HARD RESET OF THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM" THAT IS NOT EXPLAINED IN THE VEHICLE MANUAL. DEALER STATES HONDA HAS NO FIX. SAFETY CONCERN IS YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU REALLY HAVE A FLAT TIRE OR NOT, CAUSING YOU TO PULL OVER AND CHECK TIRES WITH A PRESSURE GAUGE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

Summary

HONDA'S SENSING SYSTEM RANDOMLY DISPLAYS INVALID WARNING MESSAGES. THIS IS THE RADAR/CAMERA SYSTEM THAT MONITORS CARS SPEED, BRAKING, DISTANCES, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. THIS IS A RANDOM ISSUE THAT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (45 TO 65MPH). WARNING LIGHTS COME ON STATING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES, SPEED CONTROLS, ETC. THE MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT SYSTEM TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BRAKES, AND YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC AND UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM OR NOT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT IS SNOWING, HEAVY RAIN, HEAVY DUST, OR THE SENSORS ARE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY, A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE WARNINGS COME ON RANDOMLY ON A SUNNY OR CLOUDY DRY DAY WHERE THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING THAT SETS THE SENSORS OFF. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, YOU MUST STOP THE CAR, PLACE IT IN PARK AND THEN THE ALARMS CLEAR. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, PLUS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, AND PER HONDA INFORMATION, COULD RANDOMLY STOP THE CAR WHEN THERE IS NOT REAL PROBLEM (I.E. SET THE BRAKES AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NO REASON). FALSE WARNING LIGHTS DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING OR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS TRULY A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SHOULD SYSTEM STOP THE CAR FOR NO REASON, IT COULD CAUSE A COLLISION. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THE ENTIRE DISPLAY (HEAD UNIT) WITH THE MAP WENT OFF, CAME BACK ON AND THEN STARTED TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. I HEARD BEEPING SOUNDS AS IF SOMEONE WERE ACTUALLY TOUCHING THE SCREEN, THE BRIGHTNESS TURNED UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TESTED IT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD VIDEOS FROM WHEN IT HAPPENED TO CLEARLY ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN SEEING THE VIDEOS. THEY ASKED ME TO RETURN IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. HOWEVER NONSENSICAL THIS RESPONSE, I WILL TAKE THEM UP ON THIS OFFER. I WONDER WHAT GUARANTEE THEY HAVE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. IF THEY CAN'T, WHATEVER THEY ARE PROPOSING TO DO THEN I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO WHEN I TOOK IT IN.

Summary

WHILE PERFORMING A STRAIGHT, SLOW SPEED STOP AT RED LIGHT IN CITY TRAFFIC, IN DRY WEATHER WITH NO ROAD DEBRIS, THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY, LIKE THEY ARE NOT OPERATING AT FULL POWER, AND IS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE PETALS CAUSES A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT SOUNDS LIKE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE DOES COME TO A FULL STOP, BUT A LOW RUMBLING NOISE CONTINUES WHILE STOPPED. WHEN DRIVER RELEASES BRAKES, BEFORE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD ABRUPTLY AND RUMBLING NOISE STOPS. SUBSEQUENT OPERATION OF VEHICLE RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS SEQUENCE OF BEHAVIOR OCCURS SPORADICALLY. IT HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. INSPECTION BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC DID NOT UNCOVER ANY CAUSE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR AND NO ERROR CODES ARE RECORDED IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. MECHANIC INDICATED THAT WITHOUT A RELIABLE WAY TO REPRODUCE THE FAULT, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5L SUV (WITH 4200 MILES ODOMETER READING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) ON SATURDAY, MARCH 2 ON IOWA STATE HIGHWAY 92 GOING APPROXIMATE 62MPH AND WERE 25 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ENGINE POWER UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC COMING BEHIND US ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 6MPH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING WHEN ANY EFFORT TO ACCELERATE WAS MADE. WE CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE A 4 HOUR WAIT FOR A TOW. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS 16 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO FAHRENHEIT . IT WAS 3 HOURS BEFORE A TOW SERVICE ARRIVED. OUR VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SMART HONDA IN DES MOINES, IOWA WHICH WAS THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND DID AN OIL CHANGE THAT DAY. WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP OUR VEHICLE AT SMART HONDA UNTIL THEY COULD COMPLETE THE SERVICE REQUIRED. WE WERE NOT GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE TO USE WHILE THE CR-V WAS AT THE DEALER. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2018 AND IN OCTOBER OF 2018 WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CONSUMER REPORTS ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM IN THE 2017-18 CR-V 1.5L ENGINES. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFO FROM HONDA CORPORATION UNTIL JANUARY 2019 WHEN WE GOT A LETTER ABOUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO 'DRIVABILITY CONCERNS'. DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER IN IOWA, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY URGENCY IN THE LETTER WE RECEIVED. WE ARE HUGELY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CONSIDER IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN STALL AT ANYTIME AND ANYPLACE. A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WITH A STALLED ENGINE OCCURRING COMPLETELY AT RANDOM.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING TO HONDA DEALER ON MARCH 6, 2019 FOR MY SECOND OIL CHANGE AS A RESULT OF ME CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TELLING THEM MY OIL SMELLED LIKE IT HAD GAS IN IT AGAIN. THIS IS WITH LESS THAN 700 MILES SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE THAT I HAD DONE ON FEBRUARY 13, 2019. MY FIRST OIL CHANGE WAS WITH 4525 MILES, THIS WAS DONE AS PART OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. ON THIS MARCH 6TH TRIP I WAS ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) SHUT DOWN, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS ALL CAME UP ON DASH OF CAR AND KEPT SCROLLING ON DASH. WHEN MY CAR DID THIS I WAS UNSURE, FELT UNSAFE AND WAS FRUSTRATED AS NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I AM GOING TO HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THOSE SYSTEMS THAT WERE SCROLLING ON DASH WEREN'T OPERATING. IT WAS 6 F OUTSIDE A CLEAR ROAD AND A SUNNY DAY IN NORTH DAKOTA. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS HIGH AND THAT THERE WAS AGAIN GAS IN MY OIL AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND WONDERING HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I WILL BE HAVING WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE AND THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME IS 100 MILES AWAY, WHICH CAUSES ME TIME AND EXPENSE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. THIS ALSO CAUSES ME TO WONDER HOW RELIABLE THIS NEW VEHICLE CAN BE IN NORTH DAKOTA IN THE WINTER TIME AS ALSO NOT GETTING MUCH HEAT OUT OF THE HEATING SYSTEM EITHER, SO BETWEEN THE HEAT, THE GAS IN THE OIL AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I AM NOT FEELING THAT THIS IS A SAFE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, AS A PERSON COULD FREEZE TO DEATH IF ENDED UP STRANDED WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND NO HEAT, LIKE IT DID WHEN I HAD MY APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL ON 2-12-19 AND IT HAD TO BE PUT ON FLAT BED TRUCK TO GET RECALL DONE.

2018 HONDA CR-V TOURING EDITION WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT IN KANSAS CITY, MO. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE INVADED THE CABIN. AS I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME, I KEPT DRIVING, THINKING IT MAY HAVE BEEN FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SMELL REMAINED. WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE HOOD, AND IT WAS CLEAR MY ENGINE WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FUMES. HAD TO KEEP THE GARAGE OPEN FOR FEAR THE FUMES COULD IGNITE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, AND IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SHUT DOWN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAD LOST ALL POWER AND IT HAD 4525 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE IT UP FOR A RECALL FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH A/C CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ; DTC P0300, P0301,P0302,P0303,P0304,OR P0172. I HAD TO CALL HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VEHICLE WAS HAULED ON A FLAT BED TRAILER TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. THIS RECALL ALSO INVOLVED AN OIL CHANGE, OF WHICH THEY WERE MAKING THE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE FILTER, THEY WOULD CHANGE THE FILTER WITH THE OIL CHANGE, BUT NOT PAY FOR THE FILTER WHEN CHANGING THE OIL. THERE IS ALSO AN OIL DISILLUSION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS GAS GOING INTO THE OIL CAUSING A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL AND THINNING OUT THE OIL. ALSO THERE IS A HEATING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS NO HEAT WHICH COMES OUT OF THE BLOWERS, WHICH WHERE I LIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE FOR 6-9 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING AS I CAN ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO GET COOLED OFF, BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY I CAN GET HEAT IN MY CAR AND THAT IS FROM RUNNING THE ENGINE AND USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL IN THE CAR. IN COLD WEATHER STATES WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN AND ISN'T DRIVABLE AND THE CAR ISN'T ABLE TO PRODUCE HEAT WHEN YOU ARE STRANDED A PERSON COULD FREEZE TO DEATH BECAUSE OF THE CARS INABILITY TO PRODUCE HEAT WHILE STRANDED IN THE COLD WEATHER. MY OIL ALREADY SMELLS OF GAS AND I HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 700 MILES SINCE THE OIL CHANGE, THAT WAS PERFORMED WITH THE RECALL. I AM TAKING TO HONDA DEALER AGAIN FOR AN EXAM I WAS TOLD, TO CHECK OUT SPARK PLUGS AND X-RAY THEM AND ALSO FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, WITH 5219 MILES ON CAR NOW, SO WITH LESS THAN 700 MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGE I WILL NOW BE GETTING ANOTHER.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WHEN I DROVE OVER LARGE METAL PANELS THAT WERE PLACED ON A CITY STREET IN CHICAGO. I HAVE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN SAME SPOT, JAN. 8 AND JAN. 10, BOTH TIMES I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY RAMP, SO THE IMPACT OF THE BRAKES LOCKING UP WAS EXTRA SEVERE. THE DEALER SAID HE HAD TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME EXPERIENCE, BUT ONE GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. THE DEALER AND HONDA TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THIS SYSTEM IS TO MANUALLY DO IT EVERY TIME YOU START YOUR CAR. THANK GOD I DID NOT HAVE SOMEBODY CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED, OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER DID NOT RETURN MY CALLS FOR A WEEK, AND WHEN HE DID HE SAID THE CAR WAS OPERATING PROPERLY. I TOLD HIM IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO(WHERE I WORK) I DRIVE OVER ABOUT 15-20 METAL PANELS LIKE THAT EVERY DAY, GOING EACH WAY. I AM AFRAID I WILL FORGET TO TURN THE SYSTEM OFF ONE OF THESE TIMES, AND IF I DO AND I GET REAR ENDED, I WILL HOLD HONDA RESPONSIBLE. I WAS COMPLETELY DISSATIFIED WITH THE LETTER THEY SENT ME,NOT ADRESSING MY COMPLAINT AT ALL, THE THE CASE MANAGER WAS VERY RUDE ON THE PHONE. I ASKED IF MY HONDA DEALER COULD DISABLE THIS FEATURE, AND WAS TOLD NO. THERE HAVE TO BE MANY OTHER CONSURMERS OUT THERE THAT LIVE IN CITIES THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY TO LARGE METAL OBJECTS. THE WAY HONDA HANDLED MY COMPLAINT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. **I ALSO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE EXACT SPOT THAT THIS OCCURRED, IF NEEDED, I CAN UPLOAD THE PHOTOS

I VISITED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT A PERMANENT FIX WAS ON ITS WAY AND I SHOULD WAIT FOR A FORMAL RECALL, HOWEVER I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONG TERM AFFECT ON OUR CAR'S ENGINE SO I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND EXPRESSED MY DISPLEASURE WITH THE DELAY. THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR TWO LATER INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM THE RECALL WORK WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON JANUARY 8, 2019. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND FOUND IT WAS AT THE TOP OF THE ORANGE PLASTIC TIP OF THE DIPSTICK (I REALIZE THE FULL LEVEL IS AT THE TOP HOLE IN THE ORANGE TIP). HOPING THAT THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE WAS FIXED, I CHECKED THE OIL AGAIN TODAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2019 AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. THE OIL LEVEL WAS FOUND TO BE WAY ABOVE THE FULL MARK AND BEYOND THE TOP OF THE ORANGE TIP BY MORE THAN '. THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY VEHICLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA MC AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A TECH WHO INFORMED ME THAT "THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO RETURN TO THE DEALER".

JUST PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA TOURING CRV WITH 300 MILES THAT I PURCHASE AND THERE'S ONLY THREE DAYS OLD THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AND HAS LOUD KNOCKING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE. MY OIL LOOKS TO BE OVER FILLED AND I AM SMELLING GASOLINE I BELIEVE ON THE OIL CAP. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN MORE LOUDER OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE FEELING OF LOSS POWER WHEN I AM DRIVING.

AFTER HAVING A MANDATORY UPDATE DONE BY HONDA JANUARY 3 2019 I NO LONGER HAVE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE WHEN ITS BELOW FREEZING. MY WINDOWS CANNOT STAY DEFROSTED OR SAFE TO SEE OUT OF. I HAVE TO KEEP PULLING OVER TO SCRAPE WINDOWS DURING STORMS. ALSO FEBRUARY 14 I NOTICED MY ENGINE RAPPING BADLY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER. MY ENGINE OIL WAS 1 INCH OVER THE HIGH FILL LINE. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT IT'S 100% NORMAL AND FINE, AND OIL DILUTION IS NORMAL AND FINE. MY ENGINE IS RAPPING BADLY, I HAVE HAD COWORKERS WHO ARE ASE CERTIFIED LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT'S ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL AND PROBABLY SOON. MY OIL WAS LAST CHANGED 1600 MILES AGO, AND IN THAT TIME IT GOT 1 INCH OVER FILLED, GASOLINE IS IN MY OIL NOW. HONDA DENIES THE HEAT AND THE OIL DILUTION. YOU MUST INTERVENE AND HELP HONDA CRV CUSTOMERS! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF U S EXPERIENCING THIS AND HONDA REFUSES TO HELP!! PLEASE HELP!

Summary

CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT HEATING UP PROPERLY. IN COLD WEATHER WHEN IDELING WOULD NOT MOVE FROM COLD POSITION, THEREFORE PRODUCE NO HEAT. WHEN DRIVING IT AT 35MILES AN HOUR GAUGE WOULD GO UP SOME ,AND WHEN SLOWING TO 25 MILES GAUGE WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO COLD, WITH NO HEAT. CAR WOULD ALSO STALL AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND LEFT IN PARK WHEN I WOULD GET IN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WOULD ALL HAPPEN DURING COLD WEATHER. HONDA DID THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE GAS AND OIL MIXTURE PROBLEM. DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DID THE RECALL UPDATE ON CONTROL PANEL AND SOFTWARE.GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPPING DOWN TO COLD AND LOSS OF HEAT,WHEN DRIVING SHORT TRIPS. HONDA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

Summary

THE ENGINE OIL IS BEING DILUTED WITH GASOLINE DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN BY HONDA. WE FIRST NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN IN OCTOBER 2018. WE BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN NOV 2018, THEY NOTED THE PROBLEM AND DID AN OIL CHANGE. HONDA RELEASED TSB 18-114 IN DEC 2018 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY CR-V TO THE DEALER ON 01/03/2019 AND THEY APPLIED THE FIX PER TSB 18-114. HOWEVER 3 WEEKS LATER, I NOTICED GASOLINE STILL DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE ON 01/30/2019 (FOR FREE) AND ADVISED TO COME BACK IN 1,000 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. I AM AFRAID HONDA HAS NO REAL FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND THIS CONSTANT DILUTION WITH LEAD TO LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS LIKE STALLING.

Summary

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2018. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE "FULL" MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. CHECKED ON-LINE AND LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION, NOTING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINES ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. DEALER CHANGED OIL AND FILTER AT NO CHARGE. PROBLEM PERSISTED, WITH 3 MORE OIL CHANGES AT NO COST OVER NEXT 4 MONTHS DUE TO GASOLINE DILUTION OF OIL AND CONSEQUENT OVERFILL OF CRANKCASE AS READ ON THE DIPSTICK. HONDA DEALERSHIP CARRIED OUT A HONDA PRODUCT UPDATE ON THIS VEHICLE REFERENCED AS "1245A2 PRODUCT UPDATE CAMPAIGN" THAT INVOLVED A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN WHICH THE PCM AND TCM WERE PROGRAMMED AND THE A/C CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. OIL LEVELS SEEMED NORMAL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, BUT ONCE AGAIN WERE WELL OVER THE FULL MARK AND HAD A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR ON FEBRUARY 11, 2019. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM CHECKED AND WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA NOW STATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT OIL CHANGES FOR OVERFILLED OIL CONDITION WILL NO LONGER BE DONE AT NO CHARGE. I SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE AND WILL HAVE THIS DONE IN ONE WEEK. CAR HAS 12,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV'S WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE. HONDA NEEDS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR OFFER A REFUND ON THE VEHICLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR EARLY ENGINE WEAR AND FAILURE SEEMS OBVIOUS DUE TO GASOLINE DILUTED OIL. ALSO, THERE IS SOMETIMES A GASOLINE ODOR IN OR NEAR THE VEHICLE.

STILL DOES NOT WORK. I STARTED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY AND LEFT IT RUN FOR 35 MINUTES WITH HEATER ON HIGH AND FAN ON HIGH STILL BLOWING ICE COLD AIR TEMP GAUGE DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. STILL SMELL GAS IN VEHICLE ENGINE OIL IS OVERFILLED ABOUT 3/8 INCH ABOVE FULL ON DIP STICK. ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 2/12/19 TO TRY AND FIX FOR THIRD TIME. SATURDAY MORNING 2/9/19 AT 7:10 IN MORNING ON WAY HOME FROM WORK 23 DEGREES OUT I HAD TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE WAS MAKING ME SICK. SUNDAY MORNING AT 7:10 ON WAY HOME FROM WORK 17 DEGREES OUTSIDE STARTED VEHICLE UP AT 6:50 7:05 I GOT IN VEHICLE STILL ICE COLD CLEANED FROST AND ICE OFF VEHICLE AS BEST I COULD. VEHICLE WILL NOT WARM UP UNLESS IT IS DRIVEN!!! STARTED DRIVING HOME AND WINDSHIELD IS SOLID ICE NO SENSE IN STOPPING BECAUSE WILL NOT HEAT UP UNLESS VEHICLE IS MOVING. THESE VEHICLES ARE ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. HONDA IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES BUT DOES NOTHING. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES YET AND NOT ENOUGH LAWSUITS. EVERYONE OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND BANNED FROM THE ROAD UNTIL REPAIRED. I ASKED JONES HONDA OF LANCASTER PA WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR A LOANER CAR UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AND THEY SAID NO THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT LOANER CARS BUT WILL RENT ME ONE. I PAID ABOUT $32,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

MY 2018 HONDA CRV HAS THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE AT MY FIRST OIL CHANGE I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER WHY MY OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE TOP OF THE DIP STICK BY ABOUT 3/4 AN INCH AND THE OIL SMELLED LIKE GAS AND I ALSO ASKED HIM WHY I SMELLED IT IN THE CABIN. HE SAID ANYTHING WAS WRONG IT WAS NORMAL. I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND IT WOULD GO UP 1/8 INCH EVERY 1000 MILES. I TOOK THE CRV BACK THE DEALER BECAUSE THE HEATER WOULD NOT GET WARM AT ALL AT IDLE AND THE SMELL OF GAS WAS TERRIBLE MY GARAGE EVEN HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GAS.THE DEALER TOLD ME I DEFINITELY HAD GAS IN THE OIL AND THE HEATER PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE GAS IN THE OIL ISSUE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. THEY DID A OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME IF HONDA CAME UP WITH A FIX. IT'S NOW 4 DAYS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND THE OIL IS ALREADY OVER THE DIP STICK. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AFTER TALKING TO THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE I FINALLY TALK TO A CASE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME GAS IN THE OIL WAS NORMAL AND TO TAKE THE CRV BACK TO THE DEALER IF THE HEATER WAS NOT WORKING. HE IS PROTECTING HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HUGH ISSUE. I DID NOT GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME. PLEASE HELP HONDA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID IN CANADA AND CHINA FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU!

WE PURCHASED OUR 2018 HONDA CRV IN AUGUST OF 2018 AND SOON AFTER FOUND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL IN THE 1.5 L MODELS IN THE YEARS 2017 AND 2018. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL SOON AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED IT APPEARED TO BE A BIT HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL MYSELF AT ABOUT 1500 MILES AND FOUND THERE WAS 7.5 QUARTS WHEN THE ACTUAL AMOUNT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3.7 QUARTS. WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF CHANGING THE OIL I NOTICED THE OIL WAS UP HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK AGAIN SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT WILDE HONDA FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD SOON BE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK A COUPLE WEEKS LATER TO HAVE THE FIX DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND SOON AFTER FOUND THE OIL HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA SERVICE AGAIN AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL BUT DID NOT CHECK HOW MUCH OIL WAS ACTUALLY IN THE ENGINE. I PULLED OUT OF HONDA SERVICE AND IT IMMEDIATELY APPEARED HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK BUT I WENT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAITED A WEEK OR SO AND CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND CHECKED THE AMOUNT OF OIL WHICH WAS 4.7 QUARTS SO 1 QUART OVER. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN DO NO MORE TO HELP AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT HONDA OR GO THROUGH MEDIATION. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND I SEE IT IS PRETTY WIDESPREAD AND NOT JUST IN THE USA. I GUESS I WILL WORK THROUGH MEDIATION AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. WE'D REALLY LIKE TO JUST TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW MODEL THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TOYOTA RAV4 INSTEAD.

Summary

PURCHASED THE 2018 HONDA CR-V EX-L NEW FROM PEARSON HONDA, MIDLOTHIAN VA. 23112. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THE ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DURING DECEMBER 2018, I CALLED THE DEALER COMPLAINING THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL. I WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY OFFERED TO CHANGE THE OIL FREE OF CHARGE. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS ENGINE DEFECT DURING 2017 AND STILL INSTALLED THE DEFECTED ENGINES IN THE 2018 CR-V. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN VA. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO KEEP BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR ADDITIONAL FREE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND ANY ASSISTANCE FROM YOU WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SECOND ISSUE: WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WOULD BRAKE VERY HARD, USUALLY AS A SECOND VEHICLE IS BEING OVER TAKEN IN THE RIGHT LANE. I REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE SENSORS ARE JUST VERY SENSITIVE. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM.

Summary

THE ACTIVE SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS RANDOMLY SWITCH THEMSELVES ON AND OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ARE UNRELIABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPEN IN NORMAL DRIVING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND COLD WITH SNOW FLURRIES. THIS VEHICLE FAILS TO WARM TO TO "NORMAL" OPERATING TEMPERS ESPECIAL ON MN COLD DAYS. IT MAY NOT WARM UP PERIOD ON DAYS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE FALL TO 15 DEGREES OR LOWER. ON DAYS OF 50 DEGREES OR LESS IT WARMS UP WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT IN LOW SPEED SITUATIONS IT MAY NOT WARM UP AT ALL. THERE IS THE DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR AT TIMES. ADDITIONALLY THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AS THE OIL LEVEL REGISTERS ABOVE THE MAX OIL LEVEL LINE ON A REGULAR BASIS. IN MY MIND THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES. I WONDER IF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL ACTUALLY WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED THEM. I WONDER IF THIS CAR IS GOING TO BURST INTO FLAMES AS I CAN SMALL GASOLINE IN THE CABIN. IF I SMELLED GAS IN ME HOUSE THEY RECOMMEND I LEAVE THE PREMISES. I CAN'T REALLY DO WITH I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DO HAVE A FEW PICTURES OF SOME OF THE ELECTRONIC WARNING AND TEMP GAUGE BUT CANNOT DOWNLOAD FROM THIS LOCATION. I AM LISTING HERE THE FIRST INCIDENCE BUT KNOW THERE ARE A FEW INCIDENCES.

DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION ON 01/30/2019 AFTER ~10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING (AND AFTER THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED A WARMED UP ENGINE) I EXPERIENCED ENGINE SPUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE ENGINE "SKIPPED" ONCE BELOW 10MPH WHICH FELT LIKE A BAD SHIFT (BUT IT HAS A CVT) AND THEN ONCE REACHING ~17MPH, THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY SPUTTERED PREVENTING FURTHER ACCELERATION; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHILE THE SPUTTERING WAS OCCURRING. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE AN ADDITIONAL ~.1 MILES TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION.

THE HEAT IN THE 2018 CRV DOES NOT OPERATE SAFELY DURING AVERAGE WINTER TEMPERATURES (NORTH DAKOTA). WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY COLD OUTSIDE, BELOW ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE HEAT IS NON EXISTENT CAUSING A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTING WINDOWS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR RESOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL ENGINE AND THERE WAS NO FIX IN PLACE FROM HONDA. I PROCEEDED WITH AN INCIDENT WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHICH THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THIS WAS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER AND MANY CAR FORUMS SAY OTHERWISE. I GUESS NOW I WAIT FOR RESOLUTION, TRADE THE VEHICLE, OR CRASH AS MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

Summary

WE HAVE A 2018 HONDA CR-V TOURING AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD A CRITICAL PROBLEM WITH ITS COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS BRAKED WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF IT. BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED AT DUSK/EVENING; HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS THE MOST SEVERE. I WAS ACCELERATING ON A ROAD AND GOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN I PASSED UNDER AN OVERPASS/BRIDGE. SUDDENLY, AS I WAS ACCELERATING, THE CAR BRAKED AND SLOWED FROM 45-50 MPH DOWN TO 15-20 MPH IN ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. THE SEVERE BRAKING CAUSED EVERYTHING TO FLY OFF MY SEATS, MY SEATBELT TO LOCK, AND GAVE ME WHIPLASH. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME; OTHERWISE, I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE SENSOR MAY HAVE DETECTED THE SHADOW FROM THE BRIDGE OR PERHAPS RAIN DROPS ON THE ROAD. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY SAID OTHER DEALERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR CASES. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR. CURRENTLY, HONDA DOES NOT OFFER ANOTHER SOLUTION.

ON 2019-01-25 AT ABOUT 12:25PM I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. COMING FROM A FULL STOP I TURNED RIGHT ONTO A MERGE LANE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. CAR SPED UP THEN SUDDENLY LOST RPMS. I MADE IT TO 45MPH AND, FORTUNATELY, HAD ENOUGH TIME TO MERGE. IF I HAD STARTED ONE OR TWO SECONDS LATER, I WOULD'VE HAD TO PANIC-BRAKE IN THE MERGE LANE INSTEAD OF MERGING. THIS WAS DISCONCERTING. CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES EARLIER THAT MORNING; I HAD THEN DONE A QUICK SHOPPING TRIP AND HAD RESUMED DRIVING. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 30S. CAR IS REGULARLY DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES IN OUR SMALL TOWN. OIL LEVEL, MEASURED AT DIPSTICK WITH CAR LEVEL AND ENGINE COLD, IS WELL PAST THE HIGH MARK.

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, A VERY COLD CLIMATE. MY HONDA CR-V EX HAS REMOTE START. WITH EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, YOU REMOTE START THE VEHICLE, IT IDLES FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND YOUR CAR GETS WARM AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS. IT REMAINS COOL, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MANY MILES (SAY 10-15) BEFORE THE ENGINE HEATS UP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NOTICABLE HEAT. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD. DURING A RECENT ICE STORM, I COULD NOT KEEP MY WINDSHIELD FROM BUILDING UP ICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH HEAT TO THE WINDSHIELD EVEN USING THE DEFROST SETTING AND FANS AT FULL ON.

Summary

MY 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR ON WITH THE AIR COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IS APPARENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SERIOUS HEALTH SAFETY CONCERN AS INHALATION OF FUMES IS DEFINITELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THE DIPSTICK SHOWS THE OIL IS OVERFILLED BEYOND WHAT THE DIPSTICK MEASURES AND THE OIL SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY 5TH GENERATION CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE WITH TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CABIN. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY OIL LEVEL TO RISE TO UNSAFE LEVELS THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE DETERIORATION OF EXPENSIVE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON DECEMBER 4TH 2018, WHERE A MODULE RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND SOME SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS INSTALLED. THIS CHANGED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SICKENING SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS THE DIPSTICK SHOWING MORE OIL THAN IT CAN MEASURE ALONG WITH THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE OIL.

AFTER RECEIVING HONDA TSB 18-124 FROM HONDA, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE ISSUE, MY CR-V PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE! NOW, NOT ONLY DOES THE VEHICLE GET A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN, (ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP AND WHILE IDLING), BUT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED NEW PROBLEMS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE ARE: - WORSE OIL DILUTION (GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL) . IT ROSE BY 1 QUART IN 2 WEEKS SINCE GETTING THE UPDATE (ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING) - A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL AND EVEN AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE - WORSE GAS MILEAGE. A DECLINE BY SEVERAL MPGS - COLDER CABIN -- TAKES MUCH LONGER TO GENERATE HEAT THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION ASAP. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE HONDA ' USERS ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AFTER THEIR UPDATE.

DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH I TURN UP THE HEAT DIAL, IT CONTINUES TO BLOW COLD AIR FROM THE CENTER VENTS FROM THAT POINT IN THE TRIP FORWARD. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CALLED HONDA TECH LINE AND HONDA TECH LINE CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS NOT DOING THAT PRIOR THIS TSB BEING DONE ON MY CAR. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AGREES WITH ME IT'S NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT TECH LINE TOLD THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS WILDLY UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU NEED TO STEP IN.

Summary

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IN THIS CAR IS A "PASSIVE" SYSTEM. THAT MEANS THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR TRANSMITTERS IN THE TIRES BUT RATHER, THEY USE THE ABS SENSORS TO MEASURE RELATIVE WHEEL SPEED AND SINCE A LOW TIRE WILL HAVE A SMALLER DIAMETER, IT WILL ROTATE FASTER AND HONDA BELIEVES THEY CAN MEASURE RELATIVE TIRE PRESSURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IDEA IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED.: MY FIRST EXAMPLE: I HAD A TIRE GO FLAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. IT WASN'T A BLOW-OUT, JUST A TIRE THAT WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING. THE "TPMS" SYSTEM NEVER WARNED OF THE LOW TIRE AND THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY RUINED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. THAT LED TO MY SECOND REASON... THE TIRE STORE REPLACED THE TIRE WITH AN IDENTICAL SIZE BUT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER'S TIRE. THAT RESULTED IN MULTIPLE PERIODIC WARNINGS OF "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM PROBLEM". TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THAT ANY REPLACEMENT TIRE HAD TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS ORIGINALLY CAME ON THE CAR AND I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE TWO, AND POSSIBLY ALL FOUR TIRES.. THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE TIRES! IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE TPMS SHOULD MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE... NOT MAKE, MODEL AND TREAD PATTERN AS THE DEALER TOLD ME. LASTLY, I GOT IN THE CAR FOR A DRIVE A FEW DAY AGO AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, HEARD A NOISE AND STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE.... ANOTHER FLAT TIRE AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. A SYSTEM OPERATING AS POORLY AS THIS ONE IS LESS THAN USELESS BECAUSE IF I HAD NO SYSTEM, I WOULDN'T EXPECT TO BE NOTIFIED OF A LOW TIRE AND WOULDN'T DEPEND ON THE SYSTEM. WHAT ABOUT A TIRE GOING FLAT OVER NIGHT? NO WARNING BEFORE DRIVING! I WOULD SUBMIT THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER OF A LOW TIRE IN TWO, VERY OBVIOUS SCENARIOS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES I CHANGED THE OIL IN OUR 2018 CR-V (FOR THE FIRST TIME) AND REALIZED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 QUARTS TOO MUCH OIL (IT WASN'T ALL OIL, GASOLINE HAD DILUTED THE OIL). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT THE HONDA DEALER IN GRAND ISLAND, NE TO HAVE THEM 'INSTALL UPDATED INJECTOR SOFTWARE AND SOMETHING CONCERNING THE A/C REGULATOR (THEY SAID).

Summary

BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CR-V EX TURBO IN SEPTEMBER. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THEY HAD ISSUES WITH GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. THE MAINTENANCE FOR OIL CHANGES IS 10,000 MILES. I CHANGED OIL MYSELF AT 6,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 16,000 BY THE DEALER THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A/C COMPUTER. THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT WILL REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE SAME A/C COMPUTER. SO, I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK ONLINE JANUARY 6TH FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF CR-V'S HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. SINCE I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MINE HAS MIXED. MY OIL WAS 1/2' PAST FULL. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN JANUARY 10TH. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? I FEEL I WAS SET UP WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THE A/C RECALL WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'LL SURE BE KEEPING AN EYE ON MY OIL AFTER THE REPAIR.

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR CAN EVEN FIX IT.

Summary

ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING POSSIBLE MOTOR DAMAGE. DEALER REDID A FUEL MAPPING, AND MADE IT SO TEH FAN CANNOT BLOW UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED. THIS WONT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THESE DIRECT INJECTED MOTORS LET GASOLINE PAST THE RINGS WHEN COLD, AND IF THE CAR IS COLD FREQUENTLY, THE GASOLINE WILL NOT VAPORIZE FORM THE OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, THE INCREASED VOLUME OF LIQUID CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO LSOE POWER AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME, CAUSING A SAFETY RISK. I LIVE IN TEXAS, SO IT DOESN'T GET EXCEPTIONALLY COLD, BUT THIS HAPPENED ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. INTERNET SEARCHES SHOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES, AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE C RV FROM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT HIGH. I BROUGHT THE HONDA TO A QUICK LUBE TO CHECK IT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER ARRIVING BACK HOME TC A FEW WEEKS LATER WE GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA. ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26TH, WILLIAMS HONDA IN TC DID THE RECALL WORK. ON THURSDAY MY WIFE GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SHOPPING AND THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK. SHE CALLED THE HONDA DEALER AND BROUGHT THE HONDA TO THEM. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE HEATER TO NOT WORK WITH THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOMETHING, THE HEATER BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME, WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. ON AN EARLIER OCCASION OUR NEW CR-V WOULD NOT START AS AFTER ONLY 30 MINUTES OF SITTING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US YOU CAN'T LEAVE ANY LIGHTS ON AS THE BATTERY WONT LAST VERY LONG.

I REALLY STARTED THINKING ABOUT AN INCIDENT FROM TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN I RECEIVED A "VAGUE" 2018 HONDA CRV RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR FOR AN A/C CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT, ETC. TODAY. THAT NOTICE PROMPTED ME TO BEGIN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR ANYONE DOCUMENTING "SPONTANEOUS BRAKING." I DID FIND SEVERAL THAT WOULD SAY EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID IN THEIR PLACE. IN OTHER WORDS, BRAKING HARD ENOUGH TO AN ABRUPT STOP THAT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THINGS WERE THROWN FROM THE SEATS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I WAS GOING QUITE SLOWLY (ON THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE STREET).COMING UP ON AN AREA WHERE A LARGE STEEL SHEET HAD BEEN PLACED BY SEWER WORKERS OVER AN OPENING IN THE LANE I WAS IN. I WAS SO SHOCKED THAT I LOWERED MY PASSENGER WINDOW TO CALL OUT TO TWO OF THE WORKERS THAT, "I DIDN'T DO IT, THE CAR DID." YESTERDAY I WENT BACK TO THAT SAME LOCATION TO EXAMINE EXACTLY HOW THE SPOT APPEARED. IT DEFINITELY LOOKED LIKE THE TYPE OF ROAD CONDITION THAT A KID'S TRICYCLE IS BUILT TO EASILY PASS OVER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 9/28/2018. IN THE RECALL NOTICE, THEY REFERRED TO: WHAT IS THE PRODUCT UPDATE ISSUE--FOLLOWING THAT IT SAYS--. . .THERE ARE REPORTS OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. THESE CONCERNS CAN RESULT IN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) TURNING ON. OH! REALLY! JUST A "CONCERN"? I'M HOPING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS, AND HAVE IT FIXED, BEFORE I, OR SOMEONE LIKE ME, BECOME A STATISTIC. I DON'T THINK OF AN A/C ISSUE AS HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH 'DRIVABILITY.'

Summary

I PURCHASED MY CR-V IN FEBRUARY 2018. I COMPLETED MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 6804 MILES IN DECEMBER. THE OIL WAS VERY DARK(BLACK), WATERY, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF FUEL. ISSUES WITH VEHICLE ARE CAUSING AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT AT AN ELEVATION OF 6800 FEET. MY COMMUTE IS SHORT AND IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT. THE CR-V IS STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE DURING THE NIGHT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY WEAR TO MY ENGINE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA IS ONLY GOING TO DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM BUT NOT FIX IT ON FIRST VISIT. THEY SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND NOT MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY'RE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF

Summary

LOTS OF GASOLINE IN MY OIL. OIL LEVEL STARTING CLIMBING AT ONSET OF COLD WEATHER HERE IN LOUISIANA ( IT HAD BEEN STABLE AT FULL LINE BEFORE WEATHER GOT COLD). MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE 15 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY 5 DAYS PER WEEK. SMELL OF GASOLINE KEPT GETTING STRONGER AND OIL LEVEL RISING SLIGHTLY EACH SATURDAY MORNING WHEN I CHECKED MY OIL (AFTER WEATHER GOT COLD). I SHOWED DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR (AT 50% OIL LIFE) WHO AGREED THAT THE OIL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE & LEVEL WAS TOO HIGH AND THEN HE IGNORED MY REQUEST TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE. I CHECK OIL LEVEL EACH SATURDAY MORNING (AS WELL AS TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL MY VEHICLES). ONCE I GOT HOME FROM DEALERSHIP OIL CHANGE AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO COMPLAINT OF GASOLINE IN OIL IN MY PAPERWORK I CALLED HONDA USA AND COMPLAINED THEY THEN GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER.

Summary

3-MONTH-OLD 2018 CR-V EX-L - NOTICED OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS WITHIN FIRST 2 MONTHS. DEALER HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. GAS HAS BEEN GETTING INTO OIL IN APPARENTLY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS. PERSISTENT SMELLS OF GAS AND 'ROTTEN EGGS/MEAT' WHILE OPERATING. OIL LEVEL GETS HIGHER ABOVE MEASURING SECTION OF DIPSTICK EVERY TIME I CHECK, SMELLS OF GAS. CAR BEGINS TO STALL A BIT OCCASIONALLY. HAD OIL CHANGED AT 5K MILES - TECH CONFIRMED OIL WAS VERY THIN, HIGHER VOLUME THAN SHOULD BE, AND SMELLED OF GAS. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY NOW (WHAT IF IT STALLS WHILE IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC?) AND ALSO LONG-TERM ENGINE DAMAGE SINCE DILUTED OIL WILL NOT LUBRICATE AS WELL. RESEARCHED ONLINE ONLY AFTER DISCOVERING PROBLEM - APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, AND WIDESPREAD - BUT BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY HONDA.

GAS IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL SYSTEM THUS OVERFILLING IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY VEHICLES OIL (LESS THAN 500 MILES ON MY CAR) AND THE OIL LINE WAS WAY PASSED FULL. THIS OVERFILLING CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, WHICH ACCORDING TO EXPERTS CAN CAUSE STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES WHICH POSES AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT IT IS A PRESSING ISSUE. HENCE THE REASON THE 2019 CR-V'S HAVE NOT YET BEEN RELEASED.

Summary

I WAS FIRST IN LINE IN THE LEFT LANE ON A CROSS OVER TO A ONE WAY STREET THAT GOES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. I WAS AT A STOP WAITING FOR A TIME I COULD TURN AND TRY TO GET OVER 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. THERE ARE 4 LANES ON THE ONE WAY STREET WHICH IS M-59 ALSO KNOW AS HALL ROAD AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GO FAST AS I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO FIRST GET IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND THEN CROSS OVER THE OTHER 3 LANES TO THE RIGHT AND EXIT AT A DRIVE TO WHERE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO. I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO TAKE MAXIMUM ACCELERATION AND A DEFT TOUCH TO GET OVER THERE SAFELY. AS I TRIED TO DO THIS AND AS I MADE MY FIRST MOVE INTO THE LEFT LANE, MY CAR HESITATED AND DID NOT GIVE ME THE FULL ACCELERATION I WAS EXPECTING. THIS CAUSED ALL THE TIMING I NEEDED TO MAKE THIS MANEUVER SAFELY GO OUT THE WINDOW AND PUT ME IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION. I HAD TO MAKE IN MY OPINION A VERY DANGEROUS MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A CAR THAT WAS CLOSING IN FAST FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE SPEED UP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET WHERE I WANTED TO GO BUT NOW HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE RELIABILITY OF TRYING TO MAKE THIS MANEUVER AGAIN.

I CHECKED THE OIL THE DAY IT WAS CHANGED BY HONDA GARAGE. IT WAS "MIDDLE-HIGH" ON THE DIPSTICK. AFTER 5000 MILES (STILL 50% OIL LIFE) I HAVE CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AGAIN AND IT IS WAY OVER THE MEASURING AREA OF THE DIPSTICK (AT LEAST AN INCH OR MORE OVER THE "FULL" MARK). THE CAR IS STUMBLING ON IDLE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM TOO MUCH COMPRESSION. HONDA GARAGE STATES IT'S THE FIRST ONE THEY HEARD ABOUT. I SAY THAT'S BECAUSE HONDA HAS NOT TOLD CR-V 1.8L OWNERS TO CHECK! IF MORE CHECKED THEY WOULD SEE HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS. GAS IN OIL NO GOOD. THIS MUCH GAS IN OIL MEANS NEW ENGINE! WHAT IS HONDA DOING ABOUT IT? FREE OIL CHANGE. I HAVE 12000 MILES ON CAR, AND PROBABLY AT LEAST HALF OR MORE WITH HIGH LEVELS OF GAS IN OIL. FREE OIL CHANGE IS NOT HELPING MY ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SELL ME THIS CAR IF THEY KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING. THEY'RE HIDING IT BY NOT INFORMING THE OWNERS WHO ARE NOT CHECKING BEFORE OIL CHANGES.

Summary

PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V EX IN FLORIDA 4/18. WORKED FINE UNTIL A RECENT TRIP TO INDIANA WHERE IT WAS SUBJECTED TO COLD TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES AND IT'S PERFORMANCE SEEMED TO SUFFER COMPARED TO HOW IT WAS OPERATING IN WARMER FLORIDA. THE WORST PART WAS THE FAINT SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR THE ENTIRE TIME IN INDIANA. WASN'T SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT UNTIL I RETURNED TO FLORIDA AND STARTED INVESTIGATING THE MATTER AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND THE SMALL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL. THERE IS NO SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE NOW THAT IT'S BACK IN FLORIDA, SO I HAVE TO ASSUME IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COLD CLIMATE IT WAS SUBJECTED TO. IN EITHER CASE I NEED TO TRAVEL TO INDIANA IN THE WINTER FREQUENTLY AND THE PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN (WHATEVER IT'S CAUSE) NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I NOW READ WHERE HONDA IS GOING TO ROLL OUT A FIX, BUT IT WILL ONLY COVER CR-V'S IN NORTHERN STATES. IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN THAT IS NOT RIGHT! WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT TRAVEL FROM WARM CLIMATE FLORIDA TO INDIANA IN THE WINTER - WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ENDURE GASOLINE FUMES AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH POTENTIAL HARM TO OUR VEHICLES. WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THE MODIFICATION DONE TO OUR CR-V'S.

Summary

PURCHASED MY 1.5 LTR CRV IN AUGUST OF 2018, DURING THE 2ND WEEK IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 30 DEGREES F. I WOULD START THE CAR AND LET IT RUN IDLE TO HEAT UP BUT EVEN AFTER 20 MIN, THE ENGINE TEMP GAUGE REMAINED AT THE LOWEST LEVEL BUT WOULD RISE ONCE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE HEAT ONLY COMES OUT MODERATELY WARM AND THE TEMP GAUGE GOES BACK DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A STOP. DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS OR SO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I GET HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, AND CHEST PAINS AND AN OVERALL ILL FEELING AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH REMAINS FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS LATER. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE AND WAS WAY OVER THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY 11/28, WHO CALLED HONDA CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET ME A LOANER CAR AND HONDA CORPORATE STATED THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS MAKING ME FEEL EXTREMELY ILL. I HOPE HONDA TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE.

PURCHASED A HONDA CRV 2018 IN JULY. IN OCTOBER, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, AND BRAKE SYSTEM WARNINGS/ERRORS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE CONSTANT BEEPING BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. DEALER AT END OF OCTOBER REPLACED THE CAMERA UNIT IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE SO FAR.

Summary

PURCHASED NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V AWD DECEMBER 2017 FROM DEALER IN ORLANDO FL. WITHIN FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE "GAS/FUEL" SMELL FILLED THE CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A FRIEND (LATE SUMMER) THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUE WITH THE 1.5 L EARTHDREAMS HONDA ENGINE. AREA OF ISSUE IS OIL DILUTION BY FUEL "LEAKING" INTO IT & MIXING. I THEN BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT HONDA HAD ALREADY RECALLED A HUGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN CHINA WITH THIS OIL DILUTION ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE. WHEN I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER TO ASK ABOUT ISSUE/REPAIR, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE OF THIS TYPE AND THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS/TSBS REGARDING ISSUE. WOW? THAT'S WHEN MY CONCERN LEVEL ROSE, AS ON THE DEALER LEVEL THERE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETE DENIAL/ADMITTANCE OF ANY PROBLEM. OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED "GAS ODOR" IN CABIN, POOR PERFORMANCE AND EVEN STALLING OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD A STALLING ISSUE (YET) - BUT I DRIVE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY IN MODERATE /HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS AND CAN'T IMAGINE THE DANGER THAT COULD RESULT FROM MY CAR "STALLING" WHILE I'M DRIVING(OR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER).ANOTHER "CHECK" TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE IS TO EXAMINE OIL LEVEL ON DIPSTICK. WHEN MY OIL LEVEL IS CHECKED, THE LEVEL TENDS TO READ HIGH (EVEN ABOVE FULL LINE ON DIPSTICK) AND DIPSTICK HAS STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. NOT GOOD AS IT SIGNALS FUEL IS MAKING IT'S WAY INTO MY ENGINE OIL. ONCE FUEL MIXES WITH THE OIL IT WILL BREAK DOWN THE VISCOSITY AND ENGINE WILL "WEAR OUR PREMATURELY" OR LEAD TO FAILURE. AS OF TODAY (11/14/18) MY CAR IS NOT STALLING OUT (ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT) BUT MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY IS RISING AS HONDA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET REGARDING ADMITTING AND FIXING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT # 11138878, 11138881, AND 11139308. 1 MONTH OLD CRV, 2ND TIME TOOK TO DEALER FOR OIL OVERFULL/ OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. THEY HAVE A NEW SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH DIRECTED THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL (NOT FILTER) AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DEALT WITH HOW GASOLINE WAS SPRAYED INTO THE CYLINDERS AND WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE GASOLINE-IN-OIL CONDITION. AFTER A FEW DAYS -- AGAIN THE OIL IS OVERFULL (BY ABOUT AN INCH OVER "FULL"), THE OIL IS BLACK AND RUNNY AND REEKS OF GASOLINE. SOFTWARE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF ANYTHING IT'S WORSE. SECOND, NEW PROBLEM: THE SOFTWARE UPDATE CAUSED OUR MPG DISPLAY TO CHANGE FROM 29.5 MPG (OVER 4000 MILES) TO 23 MPG. MORE ALARMINGLY, OUR GASOLINE MILEAGE HAS DECREASED FROM 26 CITY/30 HIGHWAY/ 29 AVERAGE TO 26/29/27 AVERAGE.

WHEN STARTED COLD, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE DASH NEVER COMES OFF OF COLD, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IDLES. IT TAKES AT LEAST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO REGISTER HEAT. WHEN I REMOTE START MY CAR ON COLD DAYS, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY HEAT UP THE CAR.

THIS VEHICLE GETS A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE DO TO THIS SMELL, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON. MY WIFE SUFFERS FROM MIGRAINES AND CANNOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, VALLEY HONDA, IN AURORA IL. NO RESOLUTION WAS PROVIDED AS THEY INDICATED THE SMELL IS TIED TO THE WELL KNOW OIL-DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THIS 1.5 TRBO ENGINE, WHICH THEY CONFIRMED THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS (BUT FOR WHICH NO 'FIX' HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE U.S.) SO NOW, NOT ONLY AM I DAMAGING THE NEW ENGINE WHEN DRIVEN, BUT ALSO THE OCCUPANT HEALTH BY EXPOSING THEM TO GASOLINE FUMES. THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL ASAP.

Summary

MY 2018 CR-V SUFFERS FROM THE DREADED [OIL DILUTION ISSUE] WHERE GASOLINE GETS INTO THE OIL RAISING THE LEVEL ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE RESULT IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, SOMETIMES IN THE CABIN BUT ALWAYS WHEN YOU PULL THE DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE OIL. THE OIL LEVEL IS ALWAYS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE FULL MARK. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALER, AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL, THE HIGH LEVEL AND THE FACT THAT MANY 2017-18 CRV'S SUFFER FROM THIS SAME ISSUE. THEIR UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND MAKE LONGER TRIPS TO TRY TO BURN OFF THE GASOLINE IN THE OIL. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A STATEMENT IN THE FALL ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. FIRST A BIT ABOUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF CRV OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM UNEXPECTEDLY STALLING AND LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. SOME HAVE SUFFERED ACCIDENTS. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A VEHICLE YOU'D LIKE TO PUT YOUR FAMILY IN? ALSO, DILUTED MOTOR OIL HAS TO HAVE LONG TERM DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM VALUE OF A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GREAT RESALE VALUE - THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT. SO HONDA ROLLS OUT THEIR "FIX", AND I NOTICE THAT THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT THEY CONSIDER "COLD WEATHER STATES". THEY ALSO PLAN TO ROLL THESE "COULD WEATHER STATE" FIXES OUT OVER A MULTIPLE MONTH SCHEDULE. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. WHAT ABOUT MY CAR HONDA. I WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD TREAT ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THE SAME AND WOULD WANT TO FIX AS MANY AFFLICTED VEHICLES AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. HONDA HAS A VERY LOYAL OWNER-BASE. I BETCHA HOW THEY HANDLE THIS WILL AFFECT PEOPLE'S DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW IT WILL AFFECT MINE.

VISITED THE SHERWOOD PARK HONDA DEALER ON NOV 5, 2018 FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY FOUND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 25MM ABOVE THE LIMIT. THEY DISCHARGED SOME OF THE OIL WITHOUT OIL CHANGE. THEY FOUND NO RECALLS ON THIS SO THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM AS MINOR AND SAYING PERHAPS THEY FILLED MORE OIL THAN NECESSARY. I CALLED HONDA CANADA TWICE ON NOV 5, 2018 REGARDING THE FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. THE CASE NUMBER IS 1150181. THEY SAID THERE WILL BE AN "UPDATE" ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM FROM EARLY NOVEMBER, BUT NOT SURE WHETHER MY VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED INTO THIS "UPDATE". THEY PROVIDED THE RECALL LINK FOR ME TO CHECK PERIODICALLY. HONDA CANADA MENTIONED DURING THE PHONE CALL THAT IF THE PROBLEM LIKE THIS FOUND, SHERWOOD HONDA SHOULD CALL THE TECHNICAL LINE FOR SUGGESTION. WHEN ASKED WHETHER THEY HAVE CALLED HONDA CANADA REGARDING SUGGESTION OF OIL DILUTION PROBLEM, SHERWOOD HONDA SAID THEY HAVE THE CALL AS WHAT TO DO WITHOUT CONSULTING TO HONDA CANADA.

JUST READ ABOUT THE PROPOSED FIX AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE ONLY DOING THIS IN COLD WEATHER STATES. I HAVE HGAD MY CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND HAVE LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT.

I LIVE IN MARYLAND, USA AND HONDA HAS DONE RECALLS IN CHINA AND NOW CANADA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS POOR HEATING, BUT NOT IN THE USA. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY! I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER.

Summary

WE SMELL GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE OIL, WHICH WE DISCOVERED IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CR-V 1.5L TURBO ENGINES. THE SALES PERSONNEL DID NOT OWN UP TO THE KNOWN TURBO PROBLEM WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT TURBO ENGINE RELIABILITY BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THIS DEFECT RUINS ENGINE PARTS AND COULD CAUSE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS WITH BODILY INJURY.

Summary

BOUGHT 2018 HONDA CR-V EXL ONLY 2 WEEKS AGO. IT HAS 500 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I FOUND THAT THE OIL IS OVER FULL AND VERY DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. I WORRY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE GETS HOT WILL THE GAS IGNITE. IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE ENGINE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION? HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE PAYING HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES.

Summary

GASOLINE IS ENTERING ENGINE OIL RESULTING IN OVER-FILL SITUATION AND SMELL OF GAS. AFTER READING CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE, I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND SMELL OF OIL ON MY 20018 HONDA CRV WITH ABOUT 11,615 MILES. OIL LEVEL WAS OVER "FULL" LEVEL OF ORANGE DIPSTICK AND SMELLED OF RAW GAS. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL DEALER FOR OIL INSPECTION AND CHANGE. THEY CONFIRMED THAT "VEH WAS HALF QT OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". THEY CONTACTED HONDA TECHLINE FOR CORRECTION AND RECEIVED THIS REPLY: "CONTACTED TECHLINE WAS TOLD COLD START SHORT TRIP IS NORMAL ADVISE CUSTOMER TO TAKE LONGER TRIPS, AND THAT HONDA IS LOOKING INTO IT". IN OTHER WORDS, THEY BLAMED THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING HABITS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (SEE CRV RECALL IN CHINA). OIL WAS CHANGED IN SPRING AND WE WERE IN RURAL AREA OVER THE SUMMER SO COLD START AND SHORT TRIPS DOES NOT APPLY. DEALER SAID FIX MIGHT BE AVAILABLE MID NOVEMBER. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT LONG TERM DAMAGE TO ENGINE BY EXCESSIVE GAS DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL. IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM, WHY ARE THEY WORKING ON A FIX?

MY CONCERN OF REPORTS REGARDING GAS IN OIL OF 2017-2018 CR-V 1.5 TURBO. REPORTS OF STALLING, ENGINE DAMAGE, GIVE ME LITTLE COMFORT THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS AND COLD CLIMATES WHEN WE LIVE IN IOWA. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA AND BOUGHT AGAIN BECAUSE OF ITS PREVIOUS RELIABILITY. WE HAVE 381 MILES ON THIS CAR.(232 AT TIME OF PURCHASE ON 10-11-18. NO WARNING WAS MADE OF THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM BEFORE PURCHASE. WE ARE "COUNTING ON" HONDA TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND CORRECTING.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX-L IN DECEMBER OF 2017. I NOTICED WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS EXTREMELY SLOW TO CLIMB, AND OFTENTIMES WOULD "LOSE" TEMPERATURE ON COLDER DAYS. I SPENT TIME TESTING THE CONDITIONS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE SO I WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO PROVIDE THE DEALERSHIP. I WOULD DRIVE BOTH STOP-AND-GO, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 15-30 MINUTES AT A TIME TO GET THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NORMAL, AND THEN PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. AFTER ABOUT 2-5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WOULD START TO DROP, EVENTUALLY DROPPING TO 1-2 INDICATOR MARKS ON THE GAUGE. I WOULD ALSO NO LONGER HAVE ANY HEAT AT THAT POINT (THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD BLOW COLD). I WENT THROUGH 2 SEPARATE DEALERS TROUBLESHOOTING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HAD IT IN SERVICE THE LONGEST. AFTER MULTIPLE DAYS IN THE SHOP WITH NO UPDATE, I FELT THEY WERE NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS ON THE ISSUE SO I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA. THEY ASSIGNED THE ISSUE TO ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMER ADVOCATES TO OVERSEE THIS SERVICE ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA OF AMERICA THAT THE ISSUE WAS REFERRED TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF SUPPORT FOR HONDA IN MY AREA. AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL TIME IN SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS REVIEWED W/ HONDA'S TECHNICAL / ENGINEERING TEAM WHO DEEMED THIS AS "NORMAL". LAST MONTH I CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE ARTICLES RELATED TO A GASOLINE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM IN 2017/2018 CR-V'S, AND A "SIDE EFFECT" OF THAT PROBLEM BEING LOW ENGINE TEMPERATURE / LOSS OF ENGINE TEMPERATURE. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK ON THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE.

BOUGHT CAR IN MAY, 2018 AT SMART HONDA, IOWA. AT 1200 MILES , DISCOVERED GAS IN MY OIL. IT SMELLED OF GAS WHEN THE HEATER WAS ON. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT DEALER AND KEPT THE OLD OIL SAMPLE FOR REFERENCE. CONTACTED MANUF 'S CSR ON 10/17 AND REP SAID, WE WILL CHANGE THE OIL WHEN YOU WANT BUT THERE IS NO FIX YET AND NOTHING ON THE HORIZON. I CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVE ONLY SHORT DISTANCES WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AS I FEAR STALLING AND SEIZING OF THE ENGINE OCCURS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THE OLD OIL HAS THE VISCOSITY OF ALCOHOL AND IS BLACK. I AM GETTING POOR (26 MPG) MILEAGE AND THE OIL STICK WAS "OVER-TOPPED." I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE RINGS AND CYLINDERS ARE EXPERIENCING PREMATURE WEAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, WHICH IS ONLY COMMON SENSE. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE CAR BACK FOR A REFUND OR PURCHASE ANOTHER NEW CAR WITHOUT THIS ENGINE. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING STALLING AT DANGEROUS AND INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. I WOULD NOT SELL THIS CAR TO ANYONE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES OR TRADE IT IN TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DEALER SO THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS. EVEN WITH A "FIX" I WOULD BE CHANGING MY OIL EVERY 500 TO 1,000 MILES OUT OF FEAR OF STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M DEVASTATED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO MY BRAND NEW CAR. I TEND TO KEEP CARS 10 YEARS. I FEEL I WILL LOSE A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME BECAUSE OF THIS LEMON. HONDA (MANUF) HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME. HONDA HAS STOPPED SELLING THIS ENGINE FOR 2019 BUT CONTINUES TO SELL 2018'S. THEY SOLD ONE TO ME WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BACK IN JAN 2018 ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS. THIS ENGINE DEFECT HAS PREVENTED ME FROM ENJOYING NORMAL LIFE. I CAN'T TAKE LONG TRIPS OR DO THE THINGS I NORMALLY DO. I'M A RETIRED WIDOWER AGE 64 AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP.

THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THE REGIONAL HONDA SERVICE REP AND THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. HONDA USA PAID FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT 'WE KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ONE YET.' HONDA WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY OF OUR SAFETY RELATED CONCERNS. WE ASKED ABOUT: ENGINE FIRE, FUEL VAPORS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN, ENGINE STALLING, HEATER/DEFROST NOT WORKING IN WINTER, DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE FROM FUEL CONTAMINATED OIL. ALL QUESTIONS HAD NO ANSWER FROM EITHER HONDA USA NOR FROM THE DEALER. AFTER ~ 600 MILES OF ADDITIONAL DRIVING, THE PROBLEM IS BACK AS THE OIL IS OVER-FULL AGAIN. IT IS LOOKING LIKE THE OIL WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 800 MILES OF DRIVING. WE REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FUEL ACCUMULATING IN OIL PROBLEM. WE ASSUME THAT THE GASOLINE IS ACCUMULATING IN THE OIL DURING ENGINE RUNNING USEAGE OF THE VEHICLE; SO INJECTOR SPRAY IS WRONG RATHER THAN A FUEL-LINE LEAK.

I PURCHASED THIS 2018 CR-V AWD IN JANUARY 2018. NOW AS OF OCTOBER 2018, AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WE ARE EXPERIENCING STRONG SMELLS OF FUEL INSIDE THE CABIN EVERYTIME WE DRIVE ON A COLD DAY. THE SYMPTOMS ARE IN LINE WITH THE OCTOBER 2018 CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I CALLED MY DEALER ON OCTOBER 15, 2018 AND THEY HAVE NOTED THAT HONDA KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CONCERN FOR A $30K+ VEHICLE AND THAT MYSELF AND MY YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THE SMELL OF FUEL EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THE CR-V.

I ALSO TOLD HIM I SOMETIMES SMELL A GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CABIN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE CAR. HE RECOMMENDED AN IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE, WHICH WAS DONE THAT SAME DAY. HE SAID HE WOULD NOTIFY HONDA ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND WOULD ADVISE ME WHEN A FIX IS AVAILABLE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD NO DRIVABILITY ISSUES.

2018 HONDA CR-V GAS IN THE OIL BEWARE CONSUMERS .... I BOUGHT MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IN JULY.... AFTER MONTHS OF RESEARCH ON WHAT THE BEST SMALL SUV WOULD BE FOR ME TO HAVE IN MY RETIREMENT. MEDIA ARTICLES RAVED ABOUT THIS AUTOMOBILE.... CONSUMER REPORTS CHOSE IT AS THEIR SUV OF THE YEAR .... IT HAD THIS GREAT 1.5 TURBO ENGINE THAT WOULD GET UPWARDS OF 27-33 MPG .... IT WAS A COMPLETE PACKAGE .... MY DREAM RETIREMENT VEHICLE ....... THE DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I THAT OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 7000 MILES OR SO .... MY HUSBAND IS A METICULOUS MECHANIC ... HE CHECKED THE OIL AT 3000 MILES AND FOUND IT A QUART HIGH .... ( HUUMMM... OIL DIES NOT INCREASE .... AND IT REEKED OF GAS..... GAS IN THE OIL? HE STARTED RESEARCHING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CR-V .... AND THINGS STARTED TO REALLY SOUR.... USA HONDA HAS APPARENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CR-V FOR QUITE SOME TIME .... THEY HAVE KEPT IT UNDER THE RADAR.... IN CHINA THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 350,000 CR-V'S AND THEY HAVE STOPPED SALES.... CANADA HAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE... USA HONDA IS CLAIMING IT IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE .... ( FIRST OFF I BOUGHT IT IN JULY AND SECONDLY.... A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER???? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.... AN AWD VEHICLE AT THAT!!!) HONDA IS SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION.... THERE IS NO SOLUTION.... GAS IS SEEPING INTO MY OIL WRECKING THE ENGINE AS I WRITE .... HONDA NEEDS TO STOP SALES.... FESS UP AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR A NEW CR-V WITH THE PREVIOUSLY PROVEN ENGINE.... STAY TUNED! MY HUSBAND FEELS OWNERS OUT THERE ARE NOT AWARE YET BECAUSE MOST DON'T CHANGE THEIR OWN OIL.... AND ALSO MOST DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE MILES IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THIS ENGINE AS HE HAS INDICATED 'THIS CR-V WITH 1.5 TURBO WILL NEVER MAKE 100,000 MILES BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED ...PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO RECALL THESE DISASTERS

Summary

FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE OIL CAUSING DILUTION. MY OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED AS A RESULT OF THAT AND IT CAN CAUSE THE OIL TO LOOSE VISCOSITY WHICH WON'T MAKE THE OIL AS EFFECTIVE ON THE ENGINE AND CAN CAUSE LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS IS HAPPENING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I HAD TO GET MY OIL CHANGE EARLY AT LESS THAN 3500 MILES BECAUSE THE SMELL OF OIL AND OIL LEVEL INCREASE WAS BAD.

ON MONDAY OCT. 8TH I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR A CHECK OF THE ISSUE. ON TUESDAY OCT 9TH I BROUGHT MY CR-V IN FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE CHECK, THE FOLLOWING IS THE SUMMARY OFF THE CUSTOMER'S COPY OF THE INVOICE. "CUSTOMER STATES THERE IS A FUEL SMELL MIXED WITH OIL STATES DIPSTICK SMELL LIKE FUEL - CHECK AND ADVISE ADVISED CUSTOMER THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA HAS YET TO COME UP WITH A COUNTER MEASURE FOR ISSUE AT THIS TIME ADVISED CUSTOMER HE WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN FIX IS AVAILABLE." I WILL REPEAT "THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND HONDA HAS YET TO COME UP WITH COUNTER MEASURE FOR ISSUE" I WAS VERBALLY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS REPORTED TO HONDA AS HAVING THE "KNOWN ISSUE", I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUE HONDA BELIEVES IS RELATED TO COLDER CLIMATES. I TAKE THAT TO MEAN HONDA IS AWARE EVERY CR-V WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE (DREAM ENGINE) HAS THIS ISSUE BUT IT ONLY MANIFESTS ITSELF IN COLDER CLIMATES. ALSO INTERESTING IS HONDA IS WAITING TO SHIP THE 2019 MODELS UNTIL FIX IS AVAILABLE, BUT NOT TAKING 2018 MODELS OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN HONDA IS RECALLING THE VEHICLE.

GASOLINE MIXING WITH ENGINE OIL. THIS IS AN ADDITION TO COMPLAINT # 11138878 AND 11138881. ON OCTOBER 8TH, 2018, AFTER WE COMPLAINED ABOUT OIL OVERFULL AND GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL, OUR HONDA DEALER CHANGED THE OIL IN OUR CR-V AND SAID TO "KEEP AN EYE ON IT." THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND ONLY ONE OTHER COMPLAINT LIKE THIS, AND THE PROBLEM HAD GONE AWAY AFTER ONE OIL CHANGE. ON 10/8/2018, AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED IN THE MORNING, WE DROVE 130 MILES, ALL HIGHWAY MILES, WITH THE CR-V. THE NEXT MORNING WE CHECKED THE OIL. ALREADY IT WAS OVERFULL, AND ALREADY IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THE TEMPERATURES IN MICHIGAN THAT DAY (AND OTHERS AROUND IT) WERE ACTUALLY WARM, WITH A HIGH OF 80 DEGREES F. ON 10/9/18 WE BOUGHT A QUART OF HONDA 0W-20 OIL AT THE DEALER TO COMPARE THE SMELL. THE HONDA OIL SMELLS LIKE NOTHING ON A PAPER TOWEL. OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK OF MY CR-V REEKS OF GASOLINE. PLEASE NOTE NOT LOW TEMPERATURES AND NOT SHORT TRIP, THIS WAS WARM TEMPS AND HIGHWAY MILES ONLY, AND THE GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL PROBLEM HAS RE-OCCURRED AFTER ONLY 130 MILES AND ONE DAY.

Summary

2018 CRV-EXL PURCHASED ON 9/3/18, OUR 5TH HONDA (3RD CRV), CURRENTLY AT 620 MILES. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THE RELIABILITY OF HONDA VEHICLES, UNTIL RECENTLY. LAST FRIDAY (10/8/18), CNN NEWS REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORTS (CR) ARTICLE REGARDING THE CRV 2018 ENGINE PROBLEMS, INVOLVING FUEL MIXING W/ ENGINE OIL. APPARENTLY, THERE'S AN ISSUE REGARDING GAS MIXING W/ OIL IN 2017 & 2018 HONDA CRVS WITH 1.5-LITER ENGINES, POSSIBLY CAUSING STALLING AND ENGINE DAMAGE. NUMEROUS CR AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS INVOLVED STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, AND SMELL OF GAS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. HONDA IS WORKING ON A FIX NEXT MONTH. OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL ON THEIR CRVS AS IT WILL BE HIGHER AND LESS VISCOUS IF MIXED W/ GAS. WE CHECKED OUR CRV'S OIL LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS ON THE DIPSTICK. BROUGHT THE CRV THIS MORNING TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP. SERVICE REP REPORTED THAT THEIR TEST REVEALED NO GAS MIXED W/ THE OIL AND THAT THE SMELL IS FROM A SPECIAL OIL ADDITIVE THAT HONDA USES IN NEW VEHICLES. WE WERE ADVISED TO BRING THE CRV BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 1500 MILES. REP WAS NOT AWARE OF THE CR & NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON GAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL, UNTIL WE TOLD HIM. WE AGREED TO BRING THE CRV BACK FOR THE OIL CHANGE. CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM THE FIX IN NOVEMBER AND MENTIONED OUR VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CUSTOMER REP INSISTED THAT HONDA DOES NOT PUT ANY OIL ADDITIVE IN THE NEW CRVS AND THAT I WAS MISS-INFORMED BY THE SERVICE REP. I WAS REFERRED TO THE CRV MANUAL ON PAGE 572, STATING THAT OIL ADDITIVES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY. I WAS ASSURED THAT HONDA ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE MY CRV TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A 2ND OPINION AND OIL ANALYSIS. WE'RE IN THE 'WAIT AND SEE' MODE UNTIL THE FIX IS DEPLOYED NEXT MONTH.

Summary

CAR STALLS WHEN GOING UP PARKING RAMP, CAR DIES AT INTERSECTION, CAR DOES NOT SENCE OBJECTS WHEN IN REVERSE, A BLUE LINE APPEARS WHEN RAINING AND I REVERSE OBSTRUCTION VIEW, ELECTRONICS FREEZE AND UNABLE TO USE TOUCH SCREEN...USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN RAINING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. BRAKES FAILED (PEDAL FROZE) IN REVERSE. SALESMAN SAID TO LET IT HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE MAKING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I GOT IT EARLIER THIS YEAR...THERE IS ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT AND SO FAR, THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY...EXPLANATION I WAS GIVEN IS THAT HONDA HAS BAD BATTERIES. THIS AFTER CHANGING OIL ONE WEEK PRIOR AND SERVICE REPORT INDICATED GOOD BATTERY. ONE WEEK AFTER SERVICING, THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HONDA SAID IT WAS ALL DUE TO A BAD BATTERY. BRAKES FAILED DUE TO BAD BATTERY???? STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, CAR IS STALLING, PANEL FREEZES, SENSORS DON'T WORK...SALESMAN SAID NO LOANERS AVAILABLE AND IF YOU WANTED A LOANER WHEN YOU SERVICE CAR, SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A LEXUS OR BMW. THIS AFTER I DESCRIBED ALL THE PROBLEMS. REALLY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR. I BELIEVE IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. .BRAKES FAILED, PANEL FREEZES, CAR STALLS...HELP!!!!! NOTE THIS HAPPENED AS RECENTLY AS 10/5/18 BUT REALLY IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR. I HAD IT TOWED ONCE WHEN A LIGHT FLASHED, "BRAKE FAILURE" AND I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED - THIS WAS IN AUGUST OF 2018.

OIL MIXING WITH GASOLINE-- ADDITION TO COMPLAINT # 11138878 -- PLEASE NOTE THAT WE BOUGHT THE CR-V ON 9/15/2017 AND IT HAD ABOUT 60 MILES ON IT WHEN WE TOOK DELIVERY--THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO-- THE REMAINING MILES UP TO THE CURRENT MILEAGE OF 2100 HAVE BEEN ALMOST ALL HIGHWAY MILES, BEING NUMEROUS TRIPS OF APPROXIMATELY 60-80 MILES. OUR CR-V IS IN MICHIGAN BUT IT IS EARLY FALL AND TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 55 DEGREES AND 80 DEGREES F. SO IT IS NOT COLD WEATHER AND IT IS NOT SHORT TRIPS. OUR OIL IS OVERFULL BY ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART AND IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. IT IS DISHEARTENING BECAUSE WE ASKED THE SALESMAN ABOUT THE ENGINE BEFORE BUYING AND HE TOLD US NO PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER WE BOUGHT HE SAID "CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES." BY THE WAY AN OIL CHANGE IS GOING TO BE $60+ EACH TIME BECAUSE OF SYNTHETIC OIL.

THE HANDS FREE PHONE FEATURE HAS ESSENTIALLY BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER 2017. THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE CALL HEARS SO MUCH DISTORTION, BACKGROUND NOISE, AND ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR WHAT I AM SAYING, WORSENING THE FASTER THE CAR IS GOING. HAVE HAD THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES. THEY HAVE 'UPDATED THE SOFTWARE' AND REPLACED THE MICROPHONE WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO THEM FROM HONDA. HANDS FREE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. I HAVE HAD A TICKET OPEN WITH HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE MAY 2018 AND HAVE SUBMITTED A FORMAL COMPLAINT THROUGH HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. HONDA HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TO THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY PURCHASERS OF THESE NEW VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. PLEASE NOTE COMMENTS ON THE CARGURUS.COM BLOG, TITLED 'HANDS FREE BACKGROUND NOISE.'

Summary

I LIVE IN A TEMPERATE CLIMATE AND USE THIS VEHICLE PREDOMINANTLY FOR SHORT, SIDE STREET TRIPS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN ECONOMY MODE (ECON BUTTON). WHEN USED SOLELY IN THIS MANOR FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS, THE OIL AND EXHAUST HAVE A STRONG STENCH OF UNBURNED GASOLINE. THE FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN THAT BUILD UP IN BETWEEN VEHICLE USES CAN GET VERY STRONG. SO MUCH SO THAT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER GETTING INTO THE CAR I FELT DIZZY, DISORIENTED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH. A VEHICLE THAT CAN BUILD UP NOXIOUS FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN THAT MAKE YOU DISORIENTED AND SICK IS NOT SAFE OR HEALTHY. IF A DRIVER IS UNAWARE THAT THEIR STATE OF MIND HAS BEEN ALTERED BY THE FUMES (DUI?), IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. NOT ONLY SHOULD NHTSA OPEN AN SAFETY INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER, BUT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND HEALTH STUDIES SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BY THE EPA TO ASCERTAIN WHAT OTHER HAZARDS ARE AT PLAY HERE. DATE OF INCIDENT AND MILEAGE LISTED IS ARBITRARY, AS THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY HAZARD.

THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS INCORPORATES SEPARATE (FROM LENS) CHROME TRIM PIECES THAT ARE SPEAR-LIKE IN SHAPE. THE POINTED ENDS OF THE SPEARS DO NOT SIT FLUSH IN THE HEADLIGHT LENS AND ARE PROTRUDING. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION EVERY TIME THE CAR IS WASHED & DRIED, AND WHEN USING A 'DUSTER' ON THE VEHICLE. WASH MITTS GET STUCK BEHIND THE SPEARS WHICH PULL THE SPEARS OUT MORE, INCREASING THE HAZARD TO ONE'S HAND. WHILE I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY ACTUAL LACERATIONS FROM THESE SPEARS TO DATE, ON MAY 13, 2018 MY HAND RECEIVED A 'WELT' FROM THE SPEAR. PICTURE ATTACHED FOR REFERENCE.

Summary

WITH MY SMARTPHONE CONNECTED TO THE AUDIO/INFORMATION SCREEN (INFOTAINMENT PANEL) VIA USB PORT IN THE CENTER CONSOLE FOR THE USE OF IOS MAPS FOR NAVIGATION, I RECEIVED AN INCOMING PHONE CALL. THE VOLUME OF THE RING THROUGH THE VEHICLE SPEAKERS WAS SO LOUD THAT MY BODY INSTINCTIVELY AND INVOLUNTARILY REMOVED MY HANDS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO PROTECT MY EARS BY COVERING THEM. AT THAT POINT, I HAD COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE MOVING VEHICLE! IT CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM LATER, I FOUND THAT THE VOLUME OF INCOMING CALLS IS A FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE; NOT THE SMART PHONE WHEN USED IN THIS FASHION. THE VOLUME MUST BE ADJUSTED BY USE OF THE INFOTAINMENT PANEL VOLUME KNOB (OR MAYBE STEERING WHEEL VOLUME ADJUST?) WHILE THE CALL IS INCOMING. TO HAVE THE DEFAULT INCOMING CALL SETTING AT A VOLUME LEVEL THAT WOULD CAUSE A DRIVER'S HANDS TO INVOLUNTARILY COVER THEIR EARS WHILE IN MOTION SEEMS TO BE RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT. I WAS NOT ADVISED VERBALLY OR IN WRITING THAT THIS VOLUME WOULD NEED TO BE ADJUSTED OR THAT IT COULD CAUSE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. MY HEARING HAS NEVER SEEMED OVERLY SENSITIVE TO LOUD NOISE.

Summary

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TRIM PIECES ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE ARE DESIGNED SUCH THAT THERE IS A TROUGH OR CHANNEL THAT RUNS UP THE HEIGHT OF THE WINDSHIELD ON BOTH SIDES. THE DEPTH OF THE CHANNEL VARIES; BEING DEEPER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND TAPERING DOWN TO LESS DEEP AT THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON, WATER IS DEPOSITED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE CHANNEL BY THE WIPER WHEN THE WIPER COMPLETES ITS UPWARD STROKE. THERE IS NO WHERE FOR THE WATER TO GO. AS THE WIPER BEGINS ITS DOWNWARD STROKE, THE POOLED WATER IS PULLED OUT FROM THE CHANNEL AND TRAVELS HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THE RESULT IS THAT 2-3 INCHES OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECOMES UNUSABLE WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THIS ACTUALLY MAKES QUITE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE IN VISIBILITY ON RAINY DAYS AND SEEMS UNNECESSARY AND UNSAFE. I ATTACHED A PICTURE BECAUSE THIS WAS HARD TO DESCRIBE. THE PICTURE SHOWS A STANDARD MECHANICAL PENCIL STUFFED INTO THE CHANNEL. I ANGLED THE PENCIL SLIGHTLY FOR THE PICTURE SO THAT IT IS VISIBLE, AS THE ENTIRE PENCIL FITS INTO THE CHANNEL.

Summary

THE MECHANICAL DESIGN OF THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER (JOYSTICK, AS I CALL IT) IS SUCH THAT IT REQUIRES TOO LITTLE PRESSURE IN ORDER TO BE PUSHED FORWARD WHICH ACTIVATES THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. IN SIMPLE TERMS, USING THE TURN SIGNALS TURNS ON THE HIGH BEAMS ACCIDENTALLY ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES A COUPLE SAFETY ISSUES. FIRSTLY, OTHER DRIVERS AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD BE UNNECESSARILY BLINDED BY HIGH BEAMS IF I HAVE NOT NOTICED THAT MY HIGH BEAMS HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON. SECONDLY, IT CREATES A SITUATION WHERE I (DRIVER) HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAN IS NECESSARY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I EITHER HAVE TO ADDITIONALLY GLANCE AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR TAKE A LONGER GLANCE WHILE CHECKING MY SPEED IN ORDER TO KNOW IF THE HIGH BEAMS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED ACCIDENTALLY. TURN SIGNAL JOYSTICKS HAVE BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN I HAVE, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. THEY ARE SIMPLE, BASIC SAFETY FEATURES AND THERE SEEMS NO REASON WHY A MANUFACTURER SHOULD BOTCH THESE AT THIS POINT.

JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CRV EXL I'VE HAD IT LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND PUT 600 MILES ON IT, THERE WAS A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE DRIVING IN TOWN. WHEN THEY GOT HOME I REALIZED IT WAS FROM GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL. WHEN THE OIL DIPSTICK WAS CHECKED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WAS NOTICEABLE AND THE OIL LEVEL READ HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. TOOK IT TO HONDA THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AND THEY CONFIRMED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HONDA DEALER CONTACTED HONDA TECH SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE ISSUE, 5 DAYS LATER DEALER CALLED AND SAID CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. ONCE THERE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE CAR AND HONDA WAS WORKING ON A TSB TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY DID CHANGE THE OIL, BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW DAYS I ALREADY SMELL GAS IN THE OIL AGAIN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE DEALERS HANDS ARE TIED WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE, I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM. CASE MANAGER HAS YET TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY NEWS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FROM SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN, BUT ALSO FROM GAS IN THE OIL AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF THE GAS OIL LEVEL BECOMES TO DILUTED.

DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR BLURRY/SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ANY SPEED GOING OVER BUMPS; WHICH CAUSES SOME VISIBILITY CONCERNS- INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN CHANGING LANES. NOTICED IT DAY AFTER PURCHASE OF NEW CAR. DEALER REPLACED JUST THE MIRROR-DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, THEN DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE MIRROR ASSEMBLY-DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, TECHNICIAN AT DEALER ALSO TEST DROVE MULTIPLE NEW 2018 CR-V'S ON THE LOT AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM ON EVERY CAR HE DROVE. AFTER MUCH LOBBYING/BEGGING(TO THE DEALER AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE) FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED/FIXED, HONDA SENT OUT A FIELD ENGINEER TO EVALUATE, WHO TEST DROVE MY CAR AND 2 OTHER NEW LOT 2018 CR-V CARS, FOUND MIRROR VIBRATION AND BLURRINESS IN ALL CARS WITH SOME VARIABILITY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF VIBRATION/BLURRINESS, OR "TOLERANCE" EXPECTED, UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED WITHIN A TOLERABLE RANGE. OFFERED TO REPLACE MY MIRROR ASSEMBLY WITH ANOTHER NEW CAR MIRROR ON THE LOT WHICH APPEARED TO VIBRATE LESS(BUT STILL WITH SOME BLURRINESS AT TIMES) WHICH I DID--SOME IMPROVEMENT BUT STILL SEE SOME MIRROR VIBRATION/BLURRINESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NEVER HAD A NEW CAR WHERE I AM SUPPOSE TO EXPECT AND TOLERATE SOME DEGREE OF DRIVER SIDE MIRROR BLURRINESS. WHILE ITS IRRITATING AND DISTRACTING, I BELIEVE IT MORE IMPORTANTLY REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD; ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT ON MANY CARS IF NOT ALL 2018 HONDA CR-VS. **WILL SEND VIDEO OF MIRROR AT REQUEST.

Summary

I HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD CRV. SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN FEB 2018, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE BLUETOOTH HANDS-FREE CALLING FUNCTION. I CAN HEAR CALLS FINE, BUT THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END CANNOT HEAR ME DUE TO BACKGROUND/AMBIENT NOISE. THE ISSUE IS SPECIFICALLY EXACERBATED BY SPEED - 40 MPH AND ABOVE, GETTING WORSE AS I DRIVE FASTER. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO FIDDLE WITH MY PHONE TO TAKE THE CALL OFF BLUETOOTH. OBVIOUSLY NOT IDEAL FOR SAFETY. FURTHERMORE, I MADE A 911 CALL ON JULY 4, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 911 OPERATOR COULD NOT HEAR ME!! I HAD TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE THE PHONE OFF BLUETOOTH IN ORDER TO BE HEARD. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA DIRECTLY AND TO MY DEALER/SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE CENTER ALSO CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THE ISSUE, AND WERE ADVISED BY HONDA ENGINEERS TO REPLACE THE MICROPHONE, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. NEVERTHELESS, THE ISSUE PERSISTS.

Summary

RISING OIL LEVEL DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF OIL WITH FUEL AND WATER, 2018 HONDA CRV EX. ON JUNE 18, 2018, WHILE MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, EVERY COMPUTER ASSISTED WARNING UNEXPECTEDLY EVENTED ON THE DASH (HILL ASSIST, ACC, COLLISION MITIGATION, BRAKE SYSTEM, CEL, TPMS, ROAD DEPARTURE, TRACTION, POWER STEERING, VSA), THE CRV IMMEDIATELY AND HARSHLY SELF-BRAKED (OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE DRIVER). THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL DETERMINED THAT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL IN THE DIRECT-INJECTED EARTH DREAMS 1.5L REACHING A LEVEL OF 21MM ABOVE THE CURRENT LIMIT (THE RESOLUTION GIVEN BY HONDA TECH-LINE WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER EVERY 500 MILES). HAD MY WIFE BEEN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SHE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED, INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DIRECT-INJECTED 1.5L EARTH DREAMS TURBO ENGINE. HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR IT, AND CAN ONLY RECOMMEND THAT WE CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES. TO DATE, SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE ON 6/18/2018, WE'VE HAD THE CRV BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AN AVERAGE OF EVERY 2 WEEKS (7/5/2018, 7/19/2018, AND 8/3/2018). WE'LL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP BY 8/17/2018 FOR YET ANOTHER OIL AND FILTER CHANGE, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WHEN UNDER CRUISE CONTROL, DUE TO THE OIL CONTAMINATION, THE RISING OIL LEVEL, CAUSING THE UNEXPECTED FIRING OF COMPUTER ASSISTED FEATURES.

Summary

2018 HONDA CRV-EX - STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL - TOTAL MILEAGE 1600. TOOK CRV TO DEALER TODAY TO CHECK GAS SMELL IN OIL. TECH CONFIRMED STRONG GAS SMELL IN OIL AND VERY BLACK AND RUNNY (THIN WATERY LIKE). THE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS FIRST LIKE EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW CRV - HE SAID HE'D EXPERIENCED OTHER ONES. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED A SAMPLE OF MY OLD OIL ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT HE HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ANYWAY, WE WILL CHANGE OUR OIL VERY OFTEN UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS HOPEFULLY, SAFELY RESOLVED. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE "FUEL IN OIL" ISSUE.

Summary

PURCHASED CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2018. NOTICED HEAT DIDN'T GET VERY WARM, AND WOULD COOL OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR ON A DOWNHILL. WINTER IN DELAWARE WAS NOT SEVERE IN JANUARY. AROUND 2200 MILES, I CHECKED MY OIL, FOUND IT ABOUT A HALF QUART HIGH, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. OIL IS ALSO VERY DARK, NEARLY BLACK. 1/2 QUART EXTRA GASOLINE IN OIL SUMP OF 3.7 QUARTS, MEANS ABOUT 12% OF THE OIL WAS GASOLINE. THIS PRESENTS 2 MAJOR DANGERS: FIRE HAZARD FROM EXCESS GASOLINE IN OIL, AND ENGINE FAILURE, DUE TO LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HONDA TWICE, AND 2400 & 4000 MILES, BOTH TIMES, THEY CONTACTED HONDA TECHLINE, AND PROVIDED AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE FREE OF CHARGE. I AM MINIMIZING MY USE OF THIS VEHICLE, HOPING HONDA WILL PORT "THE CHINA SOLUTION" TO THE US SOON. AS HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM IN THE US OR CANADA, IT WILL LIKELY BE UP TO THE REGULATORS OR LAWYERS TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. NHTSA - PLEASE STEP UP, REQUIRE A SOLUTION, BEFORE WE START FINDING BURNING HONDAS ON THE ROADSIDE.

VEHICLE IS LOCKED OVERNIGHT. KEY FOB IS ON STORAGE HOOK. IN THE MORNING, THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF ARE OPEN WITHOUT DRIVER INTERVENTION. HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT OTHER TIMES AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE "QUICK COOLDOWN" FEATURE WHICH IS SOMEHOW BEING ACTIVATED RANDOMLY WITHOUT DRIVER INTERVENTION. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN PUBLIC AREAS. HONDA DENIES PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARGURUS.COM, SUGGESTING A CHRONIC PROBLEM. IN MY SPECIFIC CASE, REPLACEMENT OF THE KEY FOB SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD STILL BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO DISENGAGE THIS PARTICULAR FEATURE.

Summary

NEW 2018 CR-V WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY. WITH SOME REPORTED ISSUES WITH OIL DILUTION REPORTED ON 2017 CR-V MODELS I KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE OIL LEVEL. NO ISSUE BEFORE OR AFTER THE 1ST OIL CHANGE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. (6000MILES) THIS WEEK AFTER A RANDOM CHECK ON THE OIL LEVEL I DISCOVERED IT WAS WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVEL OIL LEVEL WITH DEFINITE GASOLINE SMELL. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OVER (10000 MILES) AFTER COMPREHENSIVE TESTING INCLUDING EACH INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER THEY COULD FIND NO ISSUES. (HONDA TECH LINE WAS INVOLVED)THE DEALER SERVICE REP COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A FREE OIL/FILTER CHANGE AND SENT ON MY WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO WORK AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN HOME (40 MILES TOTAL APPROX.) AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK TODAY AND THE LEVEL IS RIGHT WHERE THE ORANGE PLASTIC INDICATOR PIECE MEETS THE METAL DIPSTICK. ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN. OIL WAS VERY SOUPY DRIPPING FROM DIPSTICK (NORMAL 0-20W OIL DOES NOT DO THIS) SO JUST OVERNIGHT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED, NOT IN A COLD CLIMATE. NO EXCESSIVE IDLING SINCE YESTERDAY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. I THINK THE REASON MORE PEOPLE HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS IS MANY HAVE NOT CHECKED THEIR DIPSTICK/ OIL LEVEL. AND WHY WOULD YOU IF YOU ARE DRIVING A NEW CAR. OIL IS BREAKING DOWN THE LUBRICATION OF THE OIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY FOR A CAR WITH A TURBO WHICH DEPENDS ON THAT OIL. TICKING TIME BOMB FOR HONDA AND SADLY FOR ME AS WELL.

Summary

I WAS PULLING MY HONDA CRV INTO A SHORT DRIVEWAY TO PARK IN FRONT OF A CLOSED GARAGE DOOR. MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 5 MPH. AS I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHIN 5-6 FEET OF THE CLOSED GARAGE DOOR, THE ENGINE REVVED AND CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I COULD NO LONGER FEEL THE ACCELERATOR DIRECTLY UNDER MY FOOT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE DID NOTHING TO STOP THE CAR. ACCELERATION CONTINUED, CAR WENT THROUGH GARAGE DOOR AND CRASHED INTO CONCRETE WALL AT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING WHEN CRASH OCCURRED. GIVEN THE SHORT DISTANCE, MAYBE 20-30 MPH. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO ISSUE WITH FLOOR MATS OR OTHER OBJECTS NEAR THE ACCELERATOR.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WEST BOUND IN THE MORNING, NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT WAS AN OVERCAST DAY. I HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON. FOR NO REASON AT ALL MY CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, DID A MODERATE NOSE DIVE AND LOCKED MY SEAT BELT. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR FOR AT LEAST A 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE IN FRONT OF ME. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. I QUICKLY DISENGAGED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FLOORED THE GAS, AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT FROM THE REAR. I HAD THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH A 2016 HONDA CIVIC TOURING, AND EVERY TIME I REPORTED IT, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BLAME SUNLIGHT, EVEN IF THERE WAS NONE WHEN IT HAPPENED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

Summary

SIDE MIRROR REAR VISIBILITY, PARTICULARLY THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PREPARING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE, ONE CAN NOT SEE THE WHITE LINES TO GUIDE YOU IN. OUR PREVIOUS 3RD GENERATION (2007-2011) CRV HAD SUPERB SIDE MIRROR VISIBILITY. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT HONDA'S DANGEROUS AND INCONVENIENT DESIGN FLAW IS TO OFFER "REVERSE TILT DOOR MIRRORS", WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TILT DOWNWARD WHEN REVERSING. IRONICALLY, HONDA, OFFERS THIS FEATURE IN OTHER COUNTRY MARKETS, BUT NOT ON ANY US MARKET CRV TRIM LEVELS. THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR APPEARS TO BE EXCESSIVELY ANGLED BACK, NOT STANDING OUT ADEQUATELY TO ALLOW A CLEAR VIEW ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. AS A RESULT, I CAN ONLY SEE THE CAR'S BULBOUS (OUTWARDLY CURVED) RIGHT SIDE. THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR CAN/MUST BE MANUALLY LOWERED TO SEE WHERE ONE IS BACKING, WHICH MOST PEOPLE WON'T DO, AMOUNTING TO A SAFETY HAZARD. AS FOR THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, ATTACHED AT A SEVERE BACKSWEPT ANGLE, IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TILT IT DOWNWARD AND SEE THE REARWARD PATH. I'M EXTREMELY TROUBLED OVER THIS GLARING SAFETY ISSUE. VISIBILITY IS A KEY ELEMENT TO SAFE DRIVING, AND AM SHOCKED THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2017 AT ABOUT 4:30 PM, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND PUT MY CAR INTO A PANIC STOP WHEN I WAS NOT ABOUT TO HAVE A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DRIVING EAST ALONG A 4 LANE UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY IN THE RIGHT LANE (SLOW LANE) AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WAS GREEN. THERE WAS A CAR AHEAD OF ME IN THE SLOW LANE AT THE SIGNAL, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS 5 OR 6 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THIS CAR AND IN NO DANGER OF COLLIDING WITH HIM. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A FULL PANIC STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NO COLLISION WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES, BUT MY RIGHT HIP AND LOWER RIGHT BACK WERE SORE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR. ON THE DEALER'S SUGGESTION, I SET THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE TO "SHORT"; IT HAD BEEN SET AT "NORMAL", THE FACTORY SETTING. MOST DAYS I MANUALLY TURN THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM OFF BEFORE I DRIVE, BUT ON THE DAYS I HAVE FORGOTTEN, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE SET TO "SHORT". I BELIEVE THAT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, HE MAY HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE BACK OF MY CAR AND CAUSED ME FURTHER INJURY. I THOUGHT FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, I SHOULD REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 FULLY LOADED TOURING CR-V 3 DAYS AGO ON MONDAY. FILING THIS REPORT ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 35 MILES ON IT AS I WRITE THIS. WE DROVE ROUGHLY 25 MILES TOTAL SINCE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER HEARING ABOUT OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL TO SEE IF IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE JUST IN CASE. FYI, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT IT ACTUALLY DID SMELL, BUT IT DIDN'T JUST SMELL A LITTLE. IT SMELLED LIKE WHEN YOU GET GASOLINE ON YOUR HANDS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PAPER TOWEL IN HAND. EVERY SALESPERSON AND TECHNICIAN I HANDED THE PAPER TOWEL TO CONFIRMED THE OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK THAT WAS WIPED ON THE TOWEL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. THEY ARE REVIEWING THE PROBLEM,AND HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT IT DUE TO MY CONCERNS. SOUNDS MORE SERIOUS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME. I AM CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS KNOWN IN CHINA AND JAPAN WILL GROW TO BE LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NHSTA. CHINA HAS HALTED SALES OF THE CR-V UNTIL THEY CAN DETERMINE A REASONABLE FIX. APPARENTLY A RECALL TO ADJUST SOFTWARE TIMINGS WAS NOT ENOUGH. ALSO SHOULD MENTION HONDA CANADA IS MONITORING THIS AND SENT A BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS.

Summary

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CONCERNING THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM CAME ON WITH MALFUNCTION WARNINGS, PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF, THEN RESTARTED THE MOTOR AND THE WARNINGS WENT OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR CODES, THERE WERE NONE. MY QUESTION, IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN LOOKING AT THE HONDA FORUMS ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV'S. I DON'T LIKE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO GET THE COMPUTER TO REBOOT. MY HONDA SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT WE WOULD MONITOR THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE THAT I'D DUE IN OCTOBER 2018. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA MOTOR IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE THAT IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A FAMILY TO BE PUT IN.

Summary

LIKE MANY OTHER 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V OWNERS, I DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL RESERVOIR OF MY VEHICLE AFTER NORMAL USAGE. IN LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AND LESS THAN 1,000 MILES DRIVEN, MY CR-V'S OIL RESERVOIR WAS 0.5 QUARTS OVER FULL DUE TO DILUTION FROM UNCOMBUSTED GASOLINE. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS CAUSE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY CR-V OWNERS ON MULTIPLE OTHER WEBSITES AND FORUMS. WHEN I PULLED THE OIL DIPSTICK FROM MY CR-V'S ENGINE, I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED GASOLINE AND RECOGNIZED THAT EXCESSIVE DILUTION HAD OCCURRED. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE, SAFETY, AND LONGEVITY OF MY CR-V'S ENGINE DUE TO THIS DEFICIENCY. FURTHERMORE, I AM QUESTIONING THE SAFETY OF THE 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V GIVEN THAT MULTIPLE CR-V OWNERS HAVE DOCUMENTED STALLED ENGINES AND ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM THANKFUL I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM IN MY CR-V BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR BEFORE MY ENGINE STALLED; HOWEVER, OIL DILUTION WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THESE VEHICLES UNTIL HONDA PROVIDES A LONG-TERM SOLUTION OR RECALL.

Summary

WHILE ON VACATION, I HAD MY 2018 HONDA, CRV-EXL PARKED FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS. ON OUR RETURN, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START AS THE NEW BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AND DEAD. LUCKILY I HAD A CHARGER AND CHARGED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 HOURS. I WAS THEN ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND IDLE IT. DURING IDLE THE DISPLAY INDICATED PROBLEMS IN ALL OPERABLE FUNCTIONS. DURING A 45 MIN DRIVE THE SYSTEM MUST HAVE RESET ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY, THIS CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM SCHEDULE TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK OF THE CRV SOON AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I HOPE THEY DISCIVER THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.

Summary

HAD BACKUP SENSORS INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP, JENKINS &WYNN; CLARKSVILLE, TN. THE BACK UP SENSOR BEEP VOLUME IS SO LOW THAT THEY ARE INAUDIBLE TO MYSELF. MY WIFE CAN BARELY HEAR THE BEEPS. THE SENSORS CANNOT BE HEARD AT ALL IF THE VEHICLE AUDIO IS TURNED UP AT ALL. THE BACKUP SENSORS USER'S INFORMATION MANUAL DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY WARNING STATING THE BEEP VOLUME IS EXTREMELY LOW/INAUDIBLE TO HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE. ALSO, THE MANUAL ALSO DOES NOT STATE THAT WHEN THE BACKUP SENSORS ARE ACTIVATED, THAT THE AUDIO IS NEITHER MUTED OR LOWERED SO THE DRIVER CAN HEAR THE BEEPS. DRIVERS MAY BE ACCUSTOMED TO OTHER VEHICLES BACK UP SENSORS SYSTEMS THAT LOWER RADIO VOLUME AND HAVE BEEPS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD BY ALL DRIVERS, INCLUDING HEARING IMPAIRED. I BELIEVE THAT ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT HONDA IS DECEIVING CUSTOMERS WHO ARE EXPECTING STANDARD BACKUP SENSOR ACTIVITY; SUCH AS LOUD/AUDIBLE BEEPS OR THE LOWERING OF THE VEHICLES AUDIO VOLUME WHEN THE SENSORS ARE ACTIVATED; THERE ARE NO WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL ALERTING DRIVERS TO THESE NON-INDUSTRY STANDARDS. I BELIEVE THESE FAILURES TO NOTIFY DRIVERS/OWNERS MAY CAUSE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS DURING BACKING THAT CAN SERIOUSLY INJURE OR CAUSE THE DEATH OF SOMEONE DURING BACKING.

Summary

RETURNING TO MARYLAND FROM INDIANA IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS ALONG I-70, I-79, I-68 AUTO BRAKING ENGAGED FOR NO REASON AT ALL. ROAD CREWS PLOW WITH BLADE SLIGHTLY ABOVE PAVEMENT POSSIBLY AVOIDING DAMAGE TO RUMBLE STRIP SO WE CAN'T SEE LANE DIVIDER LINES OR EDGE OF ROAD SOLID LINE WHEN ACCIDENTLY TOUCH THE RUMBLE STRIP BRAKES ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN BEEPS ALONE SHOULD SUFFICE. OTHER TIMES IT APPEARED THE SYSTEM THOUGHT WE WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A HEAD ON COLLISION AND AGAIN BRAKED SUDDENLY AND OFTEN. WE THINK THE HEADLIGHTS OF CARS WAY OFF IN THE DISTANCE WHERE TREES NEAR THEM CREATED A KIND OF STROBE EFFECT FOOLED THE SENSORS WHERE EVER THEY ARE. I HAD TO CANCEL ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS TO AVOID MORE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. SOLUTION RECOMMENDED: REQUIRE HONDA TO ALLOW US TO TURN OFF AUTO BRAKING IN BAD WEATHER SO SENSORS DON'T CAUSE PANIC TO DRIVERS NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S HAPPENING. WHEN ROADS ARE SLICK AS OURS WERE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT VEHICLES SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM INTENDED TO KEEP US SAFE. I CAN TELL YOU DRIVERS AROUND US THOUGHT WE WERE INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO CAUSE MISCHIEF AND I'M CERTAIN THE ONLY REASON WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENTAL IS BECAUSE I PUT BLIZZAC SNOW TIRES ON MY 2018 CRV TOURING AND KEPT MY THUMB OVER THE CANCEL BUTTON SO I COULD RECOVER QUICKLY BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO DISABLE ALL THAT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TOO OFTEN. I GET CRAMPS IN MY LEG WHEN I CAN'T USE CRUISE CONTROL AND I PAID A LOT OF MONEY SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO USE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AND OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT SIMPLY MADE THIS CAR MORE DANGEROUS. I'M ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS!!! YES ROADS WERE SLOPPY, SLICK AND TRAVELING BELOW SPEED LIMIT OF 70 BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS. ONLY WHEN WE GOT TO MARYLAND DID CONDITIONS IMPROVE. HAD TO DRIVE 1/3 OF OUR 550 MILE TRIP WITH THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING DISENGAGING ENTIRELY AFTER HAGAARSTOWN MD. CAN'T TRUST IT.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 OVER AN OPEN ROAD WITH NO OVERPASSES IN GEORGIA WITH NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 20 CAR LENGTHS, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CAR HAD 2400 MILES ON IT AND THE SUN ROOF HAD NEVER BEEN OPERATED. THE SKY WAS CLEAR AND THE MORNING TEMP WAS IN THE UPPER 30S. THE ROOF COVER WAS CLOSED. THE GLASS BLEW OUTWARD FROM THE CENTER WITH A TREMENDOUS BANG CAUSING ME TO COME CLOSE TO LOOKING CONTROL. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD. MOST OF THE GLASS HAD BLOWN OVER THE CAR ON TO THE ROADWAY. SOME OF THE FRACTURED EDGES BLEW BACK ON TO THE COVER. THIS WOULD HAVE STUCK THE DRIVER, A FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEAT PASSENGER WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE HAD THE INTERNAL COVER NOT BEEN CLOSED. THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL HAD HE BEEN INJURED BY THE GLASS. FORTUNATELY HE WAS DRIVING AT JUST UNDER THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. THE DRIVER IS A RETIRED ENGINEER. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER. BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE IS CLEARLY A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE. IT IS A NEW VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH OLD. THE OUTWARD NATURE OF THE EXPLOSION AND LACK OF ANY INDICATION OF FOD SUPPORT THIS. UNLIKE ANY OTHER CAR GLASS FAILURE I HAVE SEEN THIS SMALL PIECE OF GLASS BLEW UP INTO THOUSANDS OF LOOSE PIECES ENDANGERING BOTH OCCUPANTS AND VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. A PHOTO IS ATTACHED.

AFTER OVER A 12-15 ATTEMPTS OVER A WEEK I STILL CANNOT LOCATE THE ANCHORS TO WHICH A CHILD SAFETY SEAT ATTACHES IN THE BACK SEAT. THE DRIVER'S MANUAL IS NOT ONLY NOT HELPFUL, BUT MISLEADING. IT'S NECESSARY TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM TO LOCATE THE ANCHORS AND THEN STILL HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTACH THE LATCHES. THIS WOULD BE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE REGULARLY REMOVING AND REPLACING A CHILD SEAT. I'VE GIVEN UP AND HOPE AN ANGEL IS WATCHING OVER ME WHEN I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN. HOW MANY MORE WILL REVERT TO THIS METHOD BEFORE A CHILD IS INJURED?
