2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

WITHOUT WARNING NUMEROUS DASH WARNING LIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AND VEHICLE SLOWED TO 10 MILES PER HOUR. WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDED LANE DEPARTURE, EMISSIONS, EMERGENCY BRAKE, BRAKE HOLD, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, SUCH AS THE BRAKE SYSTEM, ACC & FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED IN TWO YEARS. CAR WAS IN MOTION.

MY CAR SKIDDED AND FAILED TO STOP IN ACCEPTABLE DISTANCE/TIME IN ONE INCH OF SNOW NEARLY CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH PEDESTRIAN IN ROADWAY. I WAS ALARMED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED MY MECHANIC TO EVALUATE ANY BRAKING DEFECTS. I WAS INFORMED MY TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32ND AND THUS HAD LITTLE TREAD LEFT TO GRIP ROAD SURFACE. MECHANIC NOTED ALL ALIGNMENTS AND ROTATIONS WERE TIMELY PERFORMED BY OWNER OF VEHICLE . I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE VEHICLE IS A 2018 HONDA CRV WITH 18000 MILES . THESE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. YOU CAN IMAGE MY SHOCK THAT TIRES WORE OUT SO FAST AND DRIVING VEHICLE IN SECURITY IS NOW QUESTIONABLE. TIER MANUFACTURER HANKOOK IS DENYING TIRE DEFECTIVENESS EVEN THOUGH HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS PROVED HANKOOK LIABLE AS NO VEHICLE DEFECT IS DISCOVERED. I ASK YOUR ORGANIZATION TO EXAMINE THIS TIRE FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURE AND NOTIFY CONSUMERS THAT TIRE IS UNRELIABLE.

DRIVING ALONG AND CAR STARTS BEEPING AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS START BLINKING. I MEAN ALL. BRAKES, ENGINE, CRUISE, ETC. CAR WAS IN MOTION. I HAD IT TO HONDA IN OCTOBER THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A/C CONTROL UNIT, UPDATE PCM AND TCM AND CHANGED OIL. ALSO SAID VALVE COVER LEAKING REPLACE VALVE COVER GASKET SET. THIS WAS IN OCTOBER 2020 AND WAS GRATIS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN FEB. 2021. THEY TELL ME NOW THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE BAD AND THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST $1477 + TO REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. THIS SCARES YOU SO BAD WHEN THE CAR BEEPS ALL THE WAY HOME AND ALL THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON THE DASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND WAS DETECTED AND HE BECAME AWARE THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT AN IMPACT. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUPERIOR COLLISION SHOP FOR THE REPAIR OF THE SUNROOF.

ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR WHICH WAS LOCKED AND HAD ALL THE WINDOWS AND POWER SUNROOF CLOSED WHEN I LEFT IT, TO FIND ALL FOUR WINDOWS HALF WAY DOWN AND THE POWER SUNROOF THREE INCHES OPEN. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT HAD RAINED BEFORE OR WAS BEGINNING TO RAIN UPON MY RETURN TO THE CAR AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF THE RAIN STORM HAD BEEN WORSE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT AND THIS MALFUNCTION CREATED A SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK FOR MY FAMILY AND PROPERTY. THE HONDA CR-V MANUAL INDICATES THAT THERE IS A "FEATURE" WHERE IF A PERSON PRESSES THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB ONCE AND THEN PRESSES IT AGAIN AND HOLDS IT FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 SECONDS, ALL THE WINDOWS WILL BE LOWERED HALF WAY AND PARTIALLY OPENS THE SUNROOF. MY KEY FOB HOWEVER WAS NOT IN A PLACE WHERE THE UNLOCK BUTTON COULD BE PUSHED TWICE IN THIS PATTERN AND THESE INSTANCES WERE NOT DUE TO OPERATOR ERRORS. HONDA CURRENTLY DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SUCH ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT MY WEB SEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER CR-V AND CERTAIN ACURA OWNERS ABOUT EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ADVISED BY AMERICAN HONDA THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST AND THEY CANNOT FILE ANYTHING WITH HONDA AMERICA REGARDING THE ISSUE. SINCE THIS IS A LOW OCCURRENCE RATE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, CUSTOMERS WILL FRUITLESSLY PAY HONDA TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION OF IT UNLESS HONDA IS FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS IT BY THE NHTSA. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU DO WHATEVER IS IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE HONDA RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS AT A MINIMUM, AN UNLOCKED VEHICLE ALLOWS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRIMINAL GAINING ACCESS AND BEING PRESENT INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE OWNER RETURNS.
