2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I WAS RIDING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, NOT ANOTHER CAR, ANIMAL OR STOPLIGHT IN SIGHT AND THE AUTOMATED BRAKING SYSTEM SLAMMED ON BRAKES SO HARD IT BROUGHT ME TO A STOP - IF I HAD NOT HAD A SEATBELT ON IT WOULD HAVE THROWN ME INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN KILLED. NOTHING WAS IN SIGHT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH BUT WHEN I GOOGLE IT I FIND THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEADLY PROBLEM, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HWY? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY BOULEVARD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WENT BLANK. SECONDS LATER, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED: "ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM." I ASSUMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIRECTING ME TO HOLD THE RADIO POWER BUTTON, SO I DID AND HELD IT FOR TWO SECONDS, BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN PULLED OVER WHEN SAFE, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED FOR 1 MINUTE AND THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS BACK ON TO NORMAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 10, 2020 AND THIS IS A 2018 MODEL. THE BATTERY THAT INITIALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE DIED ON FEBRUARY, 2020 AFTER REQUIRING A JUMP START. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND APPROACHED A GREEN LIGHT. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WERE NO CARS TRAVELING IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A CAR SITTING IN THE TURNING LANE FACING ME WAITING TO TURN. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM WENT OFF IN THE CRV AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD FOR NO REASON. THE CRV ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THROWING ME FORWARD. I QUICKLY EVALUATED THE SITUATION. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME EXCEPT THE CAR FACING ME IN THE TURNING LANE. I AM AFRAID THE CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN FOR NO REASON TO ME OR MY PARTNER. NO DAMAGE OCCURED.05 *TR

I HAVE A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE FRONT END AND STEERING IS NOISY, CLICKS, KNOCKS BANGS WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL. WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, AROUND CURVES THE STEERING AND FRONT END JERKS. IT IS HARD TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED WHEN IT FIRST STARTED DOING THIS AND THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD STEERING BOX/RACK. BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS OUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE FOR ME TO PAY AROUND $3000. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER 2018 MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 16 MILES ON IT; I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT LEAKED OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER MY GARAGE AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD A SIGNIFICANT OIL AND TRANSMISSION LEAK. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO BE REPAIRED. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE IT DUMPED ALL THE OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND THEY HAD TO FIX IT FOR A SECOND TIME. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T ANY OIL LEFT IN MY ENGINE AND THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE.THEY SAID THIS NEVER HAPPENS, BUT IT DID TWICE. MY 36,000-MILE WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP, AND I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. LAST TIME IT LEAKED, IT TOOK THEM THREE MONTHS TO FIX IT. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY WHEN I BOUGHT MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER. IT'S A SHAME I BOUGHT A LEMON, AND I'M PAYING MONTHLY FOR IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE MY CAR START LIGHT ALWAYS BLINKS ON AND OFF ALSO, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO, MY TOUCHSCREEN HAS FROZEN AND LET THE RADIO ON FULL BLAST WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK DEVELOPED ON ITS OWN. DEALER REFUSED TO INSPECT AND REFERRED TO NEARBY GLASS COMPANY FOR REPAIR. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 5:45 PM ON JUNE 2, 2020 WHILE TRAVELING ON ROUTE 30 WESTBOUND NEAR COATESVILLE, PA AFTER THE ROUTE 82 EXIT THE HONDA CR-V LOST POWER. THE CR-V SLOWED TO UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR WHILE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC PASSED. I ESTIMATE THAT SOME PASSING VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH. THE CR-V FINALLY MADE IT TO THE AIRPORT ROAD EXIT - A DISTANCE OF NEARLY THREE MILES. NOTE: IN TWO PLACES RT. 30'S NARROW SHOULDER WAS NOT USABLE AND I WAS BRIEFLY FORCED BACK ONTO THE ROADWAY CONTINUING IN THE SLOW LANE. ONCE ON AIRPORT ROAD I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, TURNED OFF THE CR-V AND INSPECTED THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE TO REEDMAN TOLL HONDA. THE CR-V HAS 35,762 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS. MY WIFE WAS THE SOLE PASSENGER. I WAS THE DRIVER. THE UNSAFE CONDITION PRESENTED BY THE HONDA CR-V ENDED WITH FRAYED NERVES, BUT NO OTHER INJURY. HOWEVER, THIS IS UNSAFE CONDITION COULD HAVE EASILY HAD A TRAGIC ENDING. *TR

WHILE IN MOTION IN A CITY STREET WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED FOR NO REASON. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND TO WARRANT BRAKE SYSTEM TO INITIATE. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD CAUSE ME AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING RURAL CITY ROAD AT APPROX 25MPH WHEN CAR CMBS ENGAGED. NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR OBJECTS. THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME. CMBS APPLIED THE BRAKES AND VEHICLE IN BACK OF ME CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING MY CAR. *TR
