2021 Honda CR-V SUV AWD

Good day, I bought my Honda CRV last summer. In October, I was driving on an on-ramp to the expressway and the hood flew open. I filed an insurance claim with Farmer's for the repairs. It was repaired to the original specs. I saw where other Honda models have been recalled for this issue. There was no reason for the hood to fly open, I had no recent needs to open the hood at the time. I thought it prudent to bring this to your attention in case the Honda CRV has the same type of hood as the other models recalled. I was fortunate the incident in October had no injuries and did not compromise safety for other travelers on the road. However, there may still be risk for another occurrence if it is the same problem as the other models. I appreciate any information or guidance that will help ensure my Honda is safe to drive. Thank you, Tiffany Drake

The srs light came on the dash board and yet to clear.

Hood latch sensor started beeping on a trip from Colorado to Wyoming 12/19/21. I had never opened the hood but it had recently had it’s first service, and I could find no visible issue. I had made an appointment with Freedom Honda because they have no shuttle service to my part of town for 12/30/21 I needed to get a ride from my son. On 12/21/21 I had to drive 40 miles and noticed the hood was actually vibrating. I have been told that the dealership needs to order a new hood latch. This vehicle has less that 5,000 miles on it. They are telling me to come pick it up and the part “a new hood latch” will possibly arrive on Tuesday the 4th. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle at this point. They are expecting me to pay for the new latch, when it is obviously a manufacturer defect.

Hankook Kinergy GT 235 / 60 R 18 130H The driver's side front tire burst on 12/24/2021. The tire split, almost like a re-tread (see pictures). I suspect a sidewall structure/reinforcement failure. This could/should have caused a rollover like the tire failures and accidents of Ford Explorers and other light trucks/SUV's fitted with Firestone Radial ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness tires in the late 90's and early 2000's. Pacific Honda Dealer replaced the tire and disposed the detached and burst tire on 12/28/2021. When the tire burst on highway, I barely managed to pull over to the left side since it was pulling in various directions, so my safety was at risk. There was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Vehicle is advertised at "36-40mpg" (36 highway, 40mpg city). I am averaging (AT BEST) 25mpg. I reported the issue to Honda Corporate and they advised I take it in to a dealer. I took the vehicle into the dealer I purchased the car from and was told "we drove it around for a few minutes and everything is fine with it." The dealer advised there was "no problem" and "nothing they could do.

I have a 2021 Honda Crv Awd. On 11/14/2021 the Forward Collision Avoidance System engaged . I was stopped at a red light and when the light turned proceeded in 30 feet the system engaged. There was no car or pedestrian in front of me. The car beeped and brakes engaged. Luckily the car behind me was able to stop. Like another car with the same problem brought it to the dealer and was told they couldn’t find anything was wrong. They did lower the sensitivity of the sensors. The also said that a leaf could set it off. My wife is not comfortable riding in the car now. She fears that it could happen on the HiWays.

The car detected an forward collision in error and began to brake. Emergency warning came on with beeping. No object was in front of the vehicle. Was traveling approx 40 mph on city streets.

I was driving and stopped for traffic, however, I was rear ended and resulted in a 4-car pileup. Upon being rear ended and pushed fast toward the car in front and crashing the car in front, the airbags did not deploy. I had a passenger as well. During the accident the driver seatbelt did not lock, however, the passenger one did lock to prevent harm.

Purchased car on July 7, 2021, that same day the car did not start when stepped on brake and pushed start button. Happened again on July 8, 2021. Called Dealer, Took it in on July 9, 2021. They could not duplicate problem. Assured me it was not a problem. Drove to CT on July 10, 2021, Did not start several times during the trip. On July 11, on return trip from CT a warning light came on dashboard. IN black letters in a red rectangular box - BRAKE. I called dealer on Monday July 12, 2021 and reported the warning. He said it meant there were cars in the way. The BRAKE IN A BOX occurred 2 more times (8/6 and 8/17). I called dealer who said it was not a problem. I subsequently searched the warning on line and it says "BRING YOUR CAR TO A DEALER. TO CONTINUE DRIVING COULD BE DANGEROUS!" I left the car with the dealer for 9 days. Sept 3 through September 11, 2021. They said they could not find anything wrong. I continue to have problems with starting the car, often getting the message that says TO START ENGINE: BRAKE+PUSH. Which is exactly what I do to start the car. When I picked up the car on September 11 (after 9 days with the dealer) the service manager told me he would contact their regional manager to report the problem to the regional manager. That's the last I heard from him except when I called and he said he had not heard from regional manager yet. I called again and left message but have not heard back. I have also submitted a complaint with HONDA and I have written 3 emails to the VP of Customer Relations. the VP has not responded to me at all. The complaint person contacted the dealer and dealer told him they could not duplicate the problem. After many weeks, complaint person contacted me to let me know this. He has no other recommendations. At this time i am afraid to drive the car and just drive it locally. I have avoided the highway, and any long trips because of my fear that there is something seriously wrong with the car and brakes.

Driving my car in traffic there was a steel plate horizontally on the road painted orange. My car saw it as a potential collision and suddenly automatically applied full brakes and flashed collision warning on dash board. I almost was rear ended. Luckily I was only going 25mph. I called dealership and talked to service manager Jake. He advised that this is possible in normal operation. There is a disclaimer about this occurring in the owner’s manual. He also said there is no history of warning indicators so there is nothing to check to see if normal operations.

I left the car with dealer for 9 days, Sept 3, 2021 through September 11, 2020. They said they could not find anything wrong. I continue to have problems starting the car. Often getting a message that says: TO START ENGINE: BRAKE + PUSH

The keyless car was accidently turned off while not in not in park The car started to roll. Yes the car is available for inspection. But based on complaints I have seen online this is how the car was designed. Pedestrian or driver could be rolled over and injured or killed, No it has not been confirmed but after I got home I was easily able to reproduce the rolling with the car turned off while not in park. No. At this point the car nor person has needed police or insurance. The car does offer beeps for warning but the car beeps so much I thought it was the car going by. It is an easy mistake we all know because we have driven cars with keys and can't remove the keys without being in park. I was able to exit the car with my keys. Pedestrians do not watch for rolling cars. Needs to be fixed in this model of car.

On 9/2/2021 as I was turning left and pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning and without me touching the accelerator. I was able to stop the vehicle with the brake pedal and didn't hit anything. Thankfully, there was no car on my left side because the acceleration drove the car into the adjacent parking space before I could stop it. If a car had been parked there, I would have hit it. There were - and are - no warning lights. My husband called the Honda dealer were we bought the car asking for an urgent appointment to have the car inspected, but they did not call him back as he asked. The problem has not been reproduced or inspected yet. It is available for inspection should you wish to do so.

Nothing has happened yet. I want it on record that the implementation of this feature is dangerous. On P.497 of the 2021 CR-V Hybrid's Owner's Manual is the following warning: "Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with Low Speed FOllow system is operating can result in the vehicle moving withoug operator control. A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death. Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow." The way this feature is implemented, the following scenario is possible: I'm driving in heavy traffic that stops for a long time. I absent-mindedly forget that the CR-V is still in ACC mode and get out of the car to see if I can see what is causing the delay. While away from the car, traffic starts to move, and before I can get back in it, the CR-V drives away. Were there a child in the car or an adult who didn't drive, there could easily be multiple deaths caused by a driverless vehicle speeding up to the current ACC setting (which could be a freeway-appropriate speed). Just off-hand I can think of multiple ways to prevent such a scenario, each of which takes advantage of existing systems: The ACC could--and should--automatically disengage and the transmission go into Park 1) when a door is opened; 2) when the driver's weight leaves the seat; 3) when the driver's seatbelt is unfastened. It should not be possible for a vehicle to drive away without a driver, and this possibility could--and should--be easily prevented.

The contact owns a 2021 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the air bag fault message was displayed. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired but continued to experience a failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

The seat belt clips in the back seat that are placed together I feel are backwards. If you look in the backseat behind the driver's seat, that buckle and clip for the middle passengers seat should be flipped around. When utilizing the middle seat belt, it has to go around the seat belt to the left. This to me is a big safety concern as it adds extra pressure to the seatbelt buckling in, should there be an accident. Plus it makes it hard for the person to the left to buckle in their belt because the other seatbelt is in the way. I hope this issue can be fixed and may need to even be a recall.

I bought a 2021 Honda CRV on May 01, 2021. On July 22 and again on July 25 this car just suddenly put on the breaks for no reason. On the second occasion my sister was in the car with me and was slung forward. She has had three heart attacks and has a pace maker and was so upset I feared her heart might fail her. I have had one heart attack and my heart was pounding too. Fortunately there was no car close behind me on either occasion or I would have been rear ended. Now I feel I must drive slowly because of this but that increases the likelihood of someone driving too close behind me and hitting me if the car stops suddenly. I took the car to the dealership but they said there was nothing wrong with it.

A complete failure of the braking system occurred while operating the vehicle. This resulted in the vehicle "coasting" to a stop under the laws of physics only. No indicators were present until the time of failure at which point a number of them went off. In the aftermath of the incident, the brake pedal laid flat on the floorboard without the sense of hydraulic pressure present. The brake fluid reservoir was full. Had the vehicle been operating at higher speed, the potential for injury or loss of life is evident. This particular vehicle had under 3,000 miles when the incident occurred. The issue was reproduced by the dealership and has a label that reads "DO NOT DRIVE" on it at the moment.

The contact owns a 2021 HONDA CR-V. The contact stated that while seated inside the vehicle, the vehicle was started, and the ACC and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer two additional times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer to be diagnosed again. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Honda CR-V. The contact stated she attempted to start the ignition but was having difficulty and was able to start on the fifth attempt. The contact stated shortly after while driving at 47 mph, when depressing on the brake pedal and the vehicle failed to stop and rear-end another vehicle but continued to accelerate and drive forward over the gully, sidewalk, and shopping center sidewalk/street. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle came to a stop on a pile of dirt. The air bags did not deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries but did seek medical attempt due to her blood pressure was high. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The contact called the local dealer and was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repairs as of yet. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

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

OIL LEVEL RAISED UP TO ABOVE THE UPPER MARK ON DIP STICK AND SMELL GASOLINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF AND SITTING MORE THAN A FEW HOURS ON LEVEL GROUND.

THE BRAND NEW CR-V HAD A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED UPON COMING TO A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. IT DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE FORWARD MOVEMENT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME, SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES POPPED UP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I THEN RECORDED THE ERROR MESSAGES THAT POPPED UP. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP: 'BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM'.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO BACKGROUND NOISE. I JUST PURCHASED A 2021 CR-V ON 16 FEB 2021. I TRADED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IN FOR THIS NEW VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE TIME I OWNED THE 2018 CR-V, ANYONE I CALLED COMPLAINED OF THE BACKGROUND NOISE WHEN USING THE BLUETOOTH/HANDSFREE SYSTEM. THE BACKGROUND NOISE WOULD INSTANTLY GO AWAY WHEN DISCONNECTING FROM THE HONDA SYSTEM AND USING THE PHONES INTERNAL SPEAKERS. THE DEALERSHIPS REPLACED THE MICROPHONE, THE ISSUE REMAINED! NOW WITH THE 2021 CR-V AGAIN THE ISSUE WITH THE BLUETOOTH/HANDSFREE IS PRESENT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH HONDA? THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, PARKED, HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS.
