2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.

The automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning, stopping the car abruptly while I was traveling at 25 + MPH without any hazard ahead and no imminent collision. I was nearly rear ended and have suffered a strain of left thumb which was on steering wheel and will now need to be seen by medical personnel. The Red BRAKE signal came on but the car immediately braked to a dead stop within a second. I am calling the dealer next.

I was driving slowly down the street in my 2018 Honda CRV with no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. Suddenly, the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged and stopped my car. I began driving again and about a minute later the same thing happened again even though there was no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. This is a serious safety issue and I am having my Honda dealer inspect the car.

Driving on a highway at approximately 50 mph at night. No other vehicles in front for a very long distance. Our cars brakes automatically engaged (CMBS system) causing an abrupt stop in the middle of the road. Vehicle behind almost rear-ended us, but did not. Luckily, there was no collision or injuries. Do not trust the CMBS system anymore and disable it when driving now.

Abs activated on icy road.brakes failed at next attempt to stop on dry road.no brake response at all. Had to go over curb on grass to avoid hitting car in front of me. No brake warning lights came on.scared to drive car. Have grandchildren I drive to school. Their safety and those of others concern me if this should occur again. I feel lucky that I did not hit a car,pole, or tree when I went over curb and into yard to stop.

I was driving to the ferry in Seattle WA about 6pm PST and crossing railroad tracks on South Holgate Road going west between 3rd and 2nd avenue when the emergency braking systems engaged (phantom braking) and immediately stopped the car on top of the railroad tracks. I was moving at relatively slow speed because of the bumpiness of the railroad tracks. I disengaged the transmission from drive to neutral, put my foot on the brake and was able to get the car moving again. Fortunately the car behind me was able to stop and did not run into me.

I was driving around 45-55 MPH and the automatic brake indicator flashed and my car slowed to around 5-10mph. There were no cars in front of me and thankfully no cars behind me. Only one car to the left that was passing. Weather was foggy but could still see clearly about a mile ahead.

All warning lights for all systems go off on dash disabling all systems when driving. this has happened about 15 times in the past 2 years. Never know if the car will react badly when driving due to the warnings. Tried to have dealer look at it but as others have stated in blogs, suddenly goes off the day before you have to take it in and can't reproduce it. Dealer laughed a bit as they said they have not seen it before even though there are hundreds of people online complaining about it since 2017. Showed them video, pictures, etc. They have checked the car over, reloaded software, etc. couldn't find anything wrong or any error codes. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE I BOUGHT IT. At 10k miles, dash started flashing, beeping and wouldn't stop. Had to pull off hwy and restart to get it to go away. Dash goes blank, radio won't work, Sirius XM is not on when I get in car 3 out of 7 days a week. overnight switches to AM. I never listen to AM. Read the blogs and so many people are experiencing this with no resolution or response from Honda Corp.

The contact's wife owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was driving 35 MPH, the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) engaged inadvertently, and the vehicle came to a complete stop; however, there were no vehicles nearby. An audible chime was heard, and the message "Brakes" was displayed. The contact's wife depressed the accelerator pedal and was able to continue driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

3 incidences of random braking & car suddenly slowing from AEB when riding down roadway & highway. There was no reason because nothing in front of vehicle & no Speeding. It could have resulted in a car hitting me in rear.
