2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAN MATEO BRIDGE , CAR BEGAN HESITATING AND JERKING UP AND DOWN AND LOST POWER ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID IT NEEDED COILS AND SPARK PLUGS , ABOUT $ 1000 LATER TOOK THE CAR HOME AND CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING, TOOK IT BACK TO PEP BOYS AND SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT CAR FOR THAT PROBLEM . TOOK IT TO PRIMO HONDA AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN # EVEN THOUGH IS CLEAR THAT IS THE REASON THEY ARE HAVING A RECALL ON THOSE CARS FOR THAT VERY SAME REASON.VIN:[XXX]YEAR:2018MAKE:HONDAMODEL:CR-VLAST UPDATED:MAY 11, 2021NUMBER OF OPEN RECALLS:0......YEAR:2018MAKE:HONDAMODEL:CR-VLAST UPDATED:MAY 11, 2021NUMBER OF OPEN RECALLS:1 OPEN/CLOSE ALLPRINT 2018-19 CR-V FUEL PUMP MOTOR SAFETY RECALL EXPANSION TOOK IT TO ANOTHER BETTER QUALIFIED MECHANIC AND HE SAYS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP. IS VERY UNSAFE THE CAR SIMPLY LOSES ALL POWER AND DIED ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE BEEN CAR LESS , RENTING SINCE MAY FIRST 2021, IT IS IMMORAL WHAT HONDA DOES. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT 5-10 MPH IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FLASHED A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND CAME TO A JARRING STOP. THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL. IT WAS TAKEN TO SCHLOSSMAN HONDA AND NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SINCE ASKED US TO SIGN A CONSENT FORM TO COLLECT THE RADAR AND CAMERA FOR STUDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER HOW THE VEHICLE ENDED IN A DITCH. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER BODY, LACERATION TO THE FOREARM, FRACTURED L1, AND A CONCUSSION. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V663000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. PARKER HONDAPARKER HONDA (5327 HIGHWAY 70 W, MOREHEAD CITY (252) 247-2488) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED NO RECALLS WERE UNDER THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY NATIONWIDE AUTO INSURANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,277.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS (FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, ETC.) BEGIN FLASHING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN (ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE WARNING LIGHTS STOPPED EVENTUALLY. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD NOT QUIT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL PIPE AT A COST OF $2029.00. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 32,746 MILES ON IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FUEL INJECTORS SHOULD LAST BETWEEN 50,000 AND 100,000 MILES. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES. OF COURSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE SUN ROOF GLASS FRACTURED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CMA'S VALLEY HONDA (296 LEE JACKSON HWY, STAUNTON, VA 24401) TO BE INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FRACTURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SUN ROOF GLASS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

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.

ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE LIGHTING UP IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED ON (IDLE) IN DRIVEWAY WHEN ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TURNED ON. 2 DAYS LATER, THEY ALL TURNED OFF. THEN 2 DAYS LATER THEY ALL TURNED ON AGAIN WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLE IN DRIVEWAY. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, INCLUDING POWER STEERING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING IS FINE. CAR RUNS NORMALLY. I READ ONLINE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE HONDA 2017-2018 CR-V'S. MOST PEOPLE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AT DEALERSHIPS AND NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE BATTERY 1 YR AGO BECAUSE THE FACTORY BATTERY DIED. NOT SURE IF THE 2 ARE RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER, RESTARTED, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MANSFIELD MOTOR GROUP (1493 PARK AVENUE W, ONTARIO, OH 44907, (888) 577-2689. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE BECAME AWARE THAT THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS GASOLINE MIXED IN WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. IT WAS ALSO REVEALED THAT IN JANUARY 2019, HONDA SENT A RECALL TO ADJUST THE SOFTWARE AND MAKE A CHANGE IN THE AC UNIT AND THIS CAR HAD THAT DONE. HONDA ALSO EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THESE VEHICLES BY ONE YEAR. IT IS KNOWN THAT HONDA MADE ENGINE CHANGES IN THEIR 2019 MODESA. IT IS SPECULATED THAT THE INJECTOR SYSTEM IS CAUSING THE ISSUE IN THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV TURBO CHANGED ENGINE.

I CHECKED THE BOS FOR "REQUEST RESEARCH" BUT NO OPTION WAS PROVIDED TO GET THE RESEARCH. I AM INTERESTED IN OBTAINING ANY ADDITIONAL RECORDS RELATES TO THESE COMPLAINTS.
