2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE I PULLED UP AND PARKED REACHED OVER TO GET A MASK OUT AND THE CHIME WENT OFF. SO I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND FOUND THAT THE DISPLAY WAS SAYING POWER STEERING WAS DISABLE THEN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR THEN THE ENGINE THEN THE BRAKES AND IT JUST KEEPS CHIMING IN DISPLAYING EACH MESSAGE FOR ALL LISTED ABOVE. I RESTARTED THE CAR HOPING IT WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. HOPE THE WARRANTY COVERS IT AND TOWING.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN TOWN ON A CLEAR DAY APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND STOPPED THE CAR. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME (LUCKILY ESCAPING BEING REAR ENDED). THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME THAT WARRANTED THIS SYSTEM ENGAGING.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FORWARD MOTION ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. SYMPTOMS ARE INDICATIVE OF AN ABNORMAL OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED HONDA CRV FROM HONDA OF JOLIET. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED THIS SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE. TO BE SURE, I HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HE MENTIONED THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHEEL BEARING OR THE BRAKES. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 31, I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SERVICE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I HAD NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES. I WAS CONFUSED AND STEVE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE SERVICE DEPT. RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES. I GO TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE DIFFERENT. THE BRAND WAS ADVANTA TIRES. LOOKING ONLINE CONSUMER REPORTS FOUND THE ADVANTA HAD AN AVERAGE TREAD LIFE OF 44,500 MILES COMPARED WITH AN AVERAGE OF 71,000 MILES FOR ALL THE TIRES. IN ADDITION, THESE TIRES HAVE POOR PERFORMANCE IN WINTER CONDITIONS. AFTER SURVEYING THE DEALER LOT, I AM VERY CONFUSED AS TO WHY THESE TIRES WERE CHOSEN AS THE OTHER VEHICLES ALL HAVE BETTER TIRES (E.G. CONTINENTAL, BRIDGESTONE, AND MICHELIN). PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING, MY VEHICLE NOW DRIVES WORSE THAN BEFORE..ON FRIDAY, I EMAILED THE OWNERS OF THE DEALERSHIP, MIKE, HORST, AND RICK KORALLUS. OF THE THREE, MIKE KORALLUS RESPONDED AND GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP BY SERVICE. AFTER WORK I DROVE BACK TO JOLIET TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, HOPING THE TIRES HAD BEEN ORDERED AND REPLACED AND THE NOISE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND JAVIER ONCE AGAIN GAVE ME AN INADEQUATE EXPLANATION. THERE IS NO WAY THESE TIRES ARE MAKING IT THROUGH THE WINTER. NOW, I MUST MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER TO MAKE SURE THAT MY INITIAL ISSUE IS RESOLVED. IN FURTHER RESEARCH, NO OTHER TIRE RETAILER INCLUDING WALMART CARRIES THESE TIRES.

DRIVING 35MPH ON MAIN ROAD BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY FUNCTIONED. NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. PASSENGERS LURCHED FORWARD.

I WAS DRIVING 40MPH ON A CITY STREET IT WAS A SUNNY 83 DEGREE DAY WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY CRV SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BY ITSELF. THE SPEEDOMETER TURNED ORANGE AND SAID "BRAKE". THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FALSELY DETECTED SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING. WE JERKED TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ALMOST HITTING US. MY SON, DOG, AND I WERE EXTREMELY SCARED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS A LITTLE OFF BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER REASON THAT THE CMBS WOULD MALFUNCTION? I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV'S EQUIPPED WITH THIS FEATURE AND HONDA HAS NOT DONE A RECALL BUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF CALIFORNIA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

ON 8-24-2020, THE 4 WINDOWS AND SUNROOF OPENED SPONTANEOUSLY. NO ON IN CAR OR NEAR CAR WITH KEY FOB (WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WINDOWS AND SUNROOF).

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSANGER SIDE ON 02/02/2020 WHEN IT WAS PARKED. NO SIGNS OF ANY CHIPS.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD GAVE MULTIPLE WARNINGS WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY; THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONED AT THIS TIME. TOOK TO NEARBY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO NARROWED MALFUNCTION TO ECM. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED VSA MODULATOR. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START; ENGINE STARTS BUT SHUTS BACK OFF IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER; BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED.
