2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT IN AN OPEN STREET, NO OBSTACLES AT ALL. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE STARTED BEEPING AND SLAMMED THE BRAKES TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ALMOST THROWN OUT OF MY SEAT BUT THANK GOD I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. I CHECKED MY DASH CAMERA FOOTAGE ASWELL NO SIGN OF OBSTACLE, NOTHING AT ALL. I BELIEVE ITS THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM THAT GOT ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE MY DASH CAM FOOTAGE TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM.

WHEN I STAR ON AND DRIVE, THE YELLOW WARNING STAY ON , RED BRAKE LIGHT BLINK, ALL COMPUTER SAFETY SYSTEM MALFUNCION , ELECTRIC BRAKES, TIRES PRESSURE, COLLISION, A.C , POWER STERING, ETC. CAR DRIVE BUT FEEL LIGHS THE BRAKE IS ON. THIS IS A DANGERUS TRASH CAR. BRAKES PROBLEM "THE MAIN SAFETY DIVICE FOR RECALL. "

WHEN I STAR THE CAR AND DRIVE THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT STAY ON AND THE RED LIGHT BLINK AND NOT GO OFF. ALL WARNING LIGHT. (TPS, COLLISION MITIGATION PROBLEM, EMISIN SYST. PROBLEM, ELECTRIC BRAKE PROBLEM, ETC.). ASLO THIS HAPPEN ALREADY 4 TIMES BEFORE. COUPLE TIMES I USE MY BRAKES WHEN I WAS DRIVE AND I FELT THAT THE CAR NO STOP RIGH AT TIME AND ALMOST HIT THE OTHER CAR. ALSO I CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL AND THE OLD ONE IS MIX WITH GASOLINE AND IS MORE VOLUME THAT I PUT IN. ALSO SOME TIME WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR STAR TO STALLING.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WITH THE ENGINE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE RPM INSTANTLY AND ABRUPTLY INCREASES FROM 700 RPM TO APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM. THE VEHICLE MOVES AHEAD SUDDENLY WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND CAN REACH A SPEED OF 7 MPH ON LEVEL PAVEMENT. THE SAME ACCELERATION OCCURS WHEN I AM MOVING VERY SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPACE OR GARAGE AND MY FOOT IS PRESSING LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL -- THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPS" AHEAD, REQUIRING INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT ACCELERATION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AHEAD WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEREFORE THE VEHICLE COULD IMPACT THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, A WALL OR PARKING BARRIER AHEAD OF IT, OR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN FRONT OF IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO HONDA DEALERS FOR THIS CONDITION (SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 AND MARCH 12, 2021). THE FIRST SERVICE REPORT STATED "SYSTEM SCAN FOUND NO DTCS, ROAD TESTED AND FOUND ALL NORMAL." THE REPORT FROM THE SECOND DEALER STATED "CHECK AND FOUND NORMAL/PROPER OPERATION." THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (NEW) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT NORMAL AND HAS THE DEFINITE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, OTHER VEHICLES, PROPERTY, OR PEDESTRIANS. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT EXISTS IN MY 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ON MY HONDA WILL, ARBITRARILY, CYCLE THROUGH VARIOUS MENUS AND START BEEPING LOUDLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DIVERTS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IT IS UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING AND IT COMPLETELY DESTROYS A DRIVER'S SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 2017-2019 CR-V AS WELL AS OTHER HONDA MODELS. IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS FAILURE MODE CAN BE FOUND ON YOUTUBE. HONDA, HAS SUGGESTED THAT THE SOFTWARE IS AT FAULT AND ISSUED AN UPDATE, BUT THIS HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, I WRITE THIS LETTER IN THE HOPE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TAKES ACTION AND INVESTIGATES THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES ON HONDA FORUMS OF DRIVERS BEING DISTRACTED AND REMOVING THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD AS THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTS FLASHING AND BEEPING INCESSANTLY.

WHEN STEERING FAR TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET AND THEN STRAIGHTENING UP THERE IS A JERK OR CATCH AS IF SOMETHING IS CAUGHT IN THE STEERING MECHANISM.

WHILE DRIVING ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. HONDA DIAGNOSED THE INTERCOOLER AND TURBOCHARGER ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE.

MANY TIMES I START AND DRIVE THE CAR AND THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON AND AND ALSO THE RED LIGHT BRAKE KEEP BLINKING. WHEN THIS HAPEN CRUISE, PRESURE TIRES MALFUNCION. ONE THE LAS TIME I PARKED AND TURN OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO STAR AGAIN THE BRAKES STAY ENGAGED AND NO GO ANY WHEARE. I HAVE TO DISCONECT THE BATERY 2 TIMES FOR RESET THE ALARMS. ALSO WHEN I DRIVE LOW SPEED THE MOTOR START TO STALLING. WHEN I CHANGED MOTOR OIL I SMELLED GAS AND OLD OIL IS MIX WITH GAS AND IS MORE VOLUME THAT THE ORIGINAL

I WAS DRIVING 40MPH UP BEACH BLVD. NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY NEAR ME. THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE. WITHOUT CAUSE THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORTED INCIDENT WITH THIS SAME CAR IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO RECALLS OR PROBABLE CAUSE. AFTER LAST INCIDENT, THERE WERE SOME NEW UPDATES INSTALLED ON THE CAR. TOLD I WOULD NEVER HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES - A FREAK OCCURRENCE. MY FEAR IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME. THIS SAFETY FEATURE MAY VERY WELL BE DEADLY.

3WKS FEB23, 2021 I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CRV I WAS LOOKING AT SOME CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT OIL DELETION IN THE ENGINE, I'M VERY WORRIED BECAUSE I DO GET A GAS SMELL INSIDE MY CAR, FROM THE EXHAUST AND WHEN I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. IT DOESN'T SHOW AS A RECALL BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING AND I'M WORRIED THE VEHICLE WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES.
