2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

2018 CR-V (~38,200 MILES) UNEXPECTEDLY HALTED (LOSS OF POWER - ENGINE KEPT RUNNING) GOING ~35 MPH ON LAKEVILLE HWY/116 IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND SHOWED ENGINE/EMISSIONS CHECK LIGHT AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSTIC CODES P061B ECM/PCM INTERNAL MALFUNCTION (TORGUE CALCULATION), C1870-00, U0401-68, U3003-S6 WERE SEEN. PER AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS (AHM), DEALER WAS TO CLEAR CODES AND TRY AND REPLICATE MALFUNCTION WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO HAVING DRIVEN IT 60 MILES. AHM WOULD NOT REPLACE ECM/PCM AS DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. I HAD SAFETY CONCERN SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT DEALER PAID $~441 TO HAVE ECM/PCM REPLACED. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH CODES SHOULD MANDATE CAR COMPANY TO ENSURE SAFETY OF OWNER WITH PAID REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PART. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, NOT REPLACED THE PART AND SUBSEQUENTLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.

THIS THE THIRD INCIDENT, WHERE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR LOST POWER, STALLED, SHUT DOWN, AND ALL THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE WENT OFF. THE VACAVILLE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON THE SECOND TIME REFUSE TO DOCUMENT MY ISSUE OR LOOK AT THE BATTERY WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR A SERVICE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I FEEL REALLY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND VACAVILLE HONDA HAS A HISTORY OF NOT DOCUMENTING MY CONCERNS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN WHERE I TURNED RIGHT AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON AND ALL THE SENSORS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR ROLLING BY GOING DOWN HILL GOING ABOUT 2 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 16 MPH. THERE WAS NOT WAY I WAS GOING AT THAT SPEED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED LOCALLY TO ANOTHER HONDA WHERE I LIVED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY ALL THE SENSORS WENT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHER SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UMANSKY HONDA (960 HILTON HEIGHTS RD, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22901, (888) 686-9143) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, THE OIL PAN WAS REPLACED AND RESEALED, AND THE BELL HOUSING WAS REPAIRED.

WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY CR-V WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR BY A SUPER DUTY LARGE TRUCK TRAVELING APPROX 55-60MPH. THE FRONT SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYED SAVING MY DAUGHTER. THE IMPACT PUSHED OUR CR-V ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO A METAL POWER POLE SUSTAINING A MORE SIGNIFICANT, SECONDARY IMPACT. NEITHER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED LEAVING MYSELF WITH MULTIPLE SEVERE INJURIES REQUIRING SURGERY AND A WEEK HOSPITALIZATION THERAFTER.

I HAD JUST TURNED ON HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO SPEED - AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE AUTO BRAKING ENGAGED FAIRLY SHARPLY AND SOMETHING FLASHED ON DASH AND BEEPED (TOO FAST FOR ME TO READ) AND THEN IT STOPPED. ACC & LKAS WERE ON BUT NOT ENGAGED AT THE TIME. SUNNY DAY AND NO VEHICLES AROUND ANYWHERE

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE WITH HALF A TANK OF GAS ON SUNDAY. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT TO START MY CAR TO NO AVAIL. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE. THIS WORKED, HOWEVER MY GAS WAS NOW ON EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN LOCKED, NO LIGHTS ON IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS. I HAVE ONLY USED IT FOR SHORT DRIVES SINCE MARCH DUE TO COVID-19.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2018. ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO, THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED BY THE CAR DEALER. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE RETURN HOSE. THE CAR STAY AT DEALER FOR 7 DAYS IN ORDER TO GET THE NEW PART IN. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR AS IT WAS TOO HOT TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE I BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE CAR.

THE SAFETY SYSTEM (HONDA SENSING) THAT DETECTS A CAR OR PEDESTRIAN IN YOUR PATH AND ENGAGES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING MECHANISM WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THERE IS NO OBJECT ANY WHERE NEAR THE CAR. IF THIS ENGAGES THAT COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A COLLISION. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 6 TIMES AND 2 OF THOSE 6 TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND AND BRAKING OCCURRED. THE OTHER 4 TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE INDICATOR CAME ON WHICH WAS DISTRACTING.

TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 65 MPH. NO VEHICLES WERE CLOSE TO ME. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A BOOM. I COULD TELL MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED. GLASS WENT ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY THE INSIDE ROOF WAS CLOSED.
