2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

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

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.

All the warning feature message show up on the dashboard, then all the safety feature is disable

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering mechanism was faulty and needed to be repaired. No further information was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V663000 (Steering). The contact indicated that the vehicle experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 38,000.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway and waited for a few minutes before attempting to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that the vehicle was jump started and the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed to disconnect and reconnect the battery for the vehicle to resume normal operation. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

As we headed down the hill approaching dark metal plates in the road covering a hole, the car braked violently. We were nearly hit from behind because of the Quick stop. My Apple Watch alerted me that I had fallen and asked to call 911. This is the second incidence of this kind since owning this car. The other incident was a year or so ago. Our AEB should not be causing us to nearly have an accident from a rear end collision. We are concerned.
