2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

2018 CR-V ALL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING CAR IN PREPARATION TO GO TO WORK. AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER CAR FLUTTERED AND I SMELLED GAS. I TURNED IT OFF THEN RESTARTED IT WAS OK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PERFORMED: (93760 TECH VERIFIED CONCERN.PULLED CODES P0300; P0301; P0302; P0303; P0304 AND P0172.FOUND WARRANTY EXTENSION OPEN FOR VEHICLE.19-032. 1245B6A 110 RESET THE MAINTENANCE MINDER.UPDATED THE PGM-FI AND TCU SOFTWARE.REPLACED THE OIL;AC CONTROL UNIT AND THROTTLE POSITION RESET AND PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE.INSPECTED SPARK PLUGS. 1245B6/.8 1245B6A/.3 03217/03214 FPN:37805-5PA-A85 AND SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT THEY SAID THE CAR NEEDED AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. FEW DAYS LATER LIGHT CAME BACK ON WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP THEN WAS TOLD I NEEDED THE 4 FUEL INJECTORS $1300 TO REPLACE THEM. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THERE IS NO CRUISE CONTROL, LANE ASSIST OR ANYTHING. CALLED HONDA AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN ISSUE. DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED MAYBE HONDA WILL PAY TO FIX ISSUE... WELL, OF COURSE NO SUCH LUCK.

SINCE NEW, ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS FOR A SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN RECOVERS WITH A BURST OF ACCELERATION. 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. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I FIND ENGINE STALLING IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS SISTER WHO OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SISTER WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED INADVERTENTLY WITH THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION SENSOR FAILED SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED FLOYD TRAYLOR HONDA SERVICE & SALES (3200 S ZERO ST, FORT SMITH, AR 72908, (479) 434-5975) AND FRANK FLETCHER HONDA (2921 MOBERLY LN, BENTONVILLE, AR 72712, (479) 715-8622) AND WAS INFORMED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 10-15 MILES FROM START THE STEERING STICKS AND JERKY WHILE MAKING A CURVE AND WON'T MOVE BACK OUT OF THIS CATCH WITHOUT APPLYING AN EXTRA FORCE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CUT THE LANE UNINTENTIONALLY AND IS DANGEROUS. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON 3/16/21 AND THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM AS THEY WON'T DRIVE MORE THAN 5MILES. I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 10-15 MILES.

THE TOUCHSCREEN ON THE MAIN INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY FAILED TO WORK IMMEDIATELY ON STARTUP OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION THE MECHANICAL VOLUME/POWER BUTTON ON THE DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. RADIO CONTROL (SOURCE/STATION/VOLUME) WAS AVAILABLE THRU STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS BUT NO OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE DISPLAY WERE AVAILABLE. A NORMAL KEY CYCLE DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING UP HILL AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THELEN HONDA (1020 N. EUCLID AVE, BAY CITY, MI 48706, (989) 402-0532) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TURBO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DILUTION OF THE ENGINE OIL WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING LEVEL TO RISE. SMELL OF GASOLINE OUTSIDE VEHICLE. DEALER SAYS HONDA TECHLINE TOLD THEM THIS IS NORMAL. MY VIN IS NOT PART OF HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY AS AN ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR BRAKES FOR NO REASON CAR IN BACK ALMOST HIT ME HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE

THE TIRE WAS PURCHASED 3/18 AND WITH LESS THAN 50 MILES ON THE TIRE THE SIDEWALL FAILED AND BLEW OUT AT 70 MPH. TIRE WAS LESS THAN A DAY OLD AND NO OBJECT WAS HIT TO CAUSE THE FAILURE.
