2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN PAST THREE WEEKS. CAR STARTS AND AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON BLINKING ON DASHBOARD INCLUDING BRAKE, BRAKE SYSTEM, AND CONTINUE BLINKING. BLINKING LIGHTS CONTINUE WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING AND ON GRAVEL ROAD AND PAVED ROADS. THE FIRST TRIP TO LOCAL HONDA AND REPORT WAS BAD BATTERY. SECOND TRIP AND I WAS TOLD CONNECTOR BOX. THIS IS THIRD TIME AND ITS WEEKEND AND LOCAL HONDA CLOSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE DATE BELOW IS THIRD TIME DATE.

I SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE GASOLINE SMELL IS NOT PRESENT ON INITIAL START UP BUT HAPPENS WHEN I RUN ERRANDS WHICH REQUIRES MANY STOPS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES. IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN WINDOWS TO VENTILATE THE CABIN. I HAVE ALSO LOST THE SENSORS THREE TIMES AND MY SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK REQUIRING ME TO REBOOT. I HAVE TALKED TO TECHNICIAN THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE GAS DILUTION FIXED?

ON OCCASION IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN GOING EXTREMELY SLOW SPEED AND TURNING THE WHEEL EVER SO SLIGHTLY IT'S MAKING A VERY LOUD HUMMING TYPE NOISE AND THEN GOES AWAY IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED WITH A SLIGHT TURN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BRAKING FEATURE ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PLANET HONDA LOCATED AT (2285 US HIGHWAY 22, UNION NJ) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN STOPPED THE FUEL LEVEL IS HIGH, KNOWN HONDA OIL DILUTION PROBLEM CHECKED BY EAST COAST HONDA MYRTLE BEACH S C THEY REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS PIPES AND OIL AGAIN FOR 3RD TIME. CONTINUALLY OVERFULL CRANKCAS. HONDA HAS AN OPEN CASE ALSO #10008784 AND DEALERSHIP IS WORKING ON THE SOLUTION BUT IT STILL EXISTS! I ALREADY HAVE A NHTSA CASE # 11277446 BUT I CAN NOT LOCATE IT AND TELEPHONE CLERK WAS SNOTTY ABOUT ME GIVING HER THE INFO AND ME ASKING FOR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

I WAS AWAY FOR 17 DAYS AND MY BATTERY DIED. WENT TO DEALER AND HE SAID THIS IS NORMAL. HOW IS THIS NORMAL? IT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! CAR IS 18 MONTHS OLD! THIS IS DANGEROUS TOO. LAST YEAR WE WERE GONE 2 MONTHS AND WIFE'S CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. NEIGHBORS WINTER IN FLORIDA - COME HOME AND CARS START UP. MY LAST CAR SAT 3 MONTHS AND STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! WE TRAVEL AND CAR SITS AT THE AIRPORT / TRAIN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE COME BACK AND IT'S DEAD AND IT'S LATE / SNOW / ICE / BAD AREA. WORSE - I COULD NOT GET INTO THE REAR HATCH (DEALER SAID NOPE - CAN'T - NO BYPASS) TO GET MY JUMPER CABLES! AND CAR WAS IN A GARAGE (50+ DEGREES). GARAGE ALSO MADE IT HARD TO JUMP AS WAS PULLED IN FORWARD! THIS IS ALL SCARY AND MUST BE FIXED BUT DEALER SAYS NORMAL. HE SAID SOME DIE IN A COUPLE / FEW DAYS AND IT'S NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL? AFTER JUMPING IT I HAD TO RESET SO MUCH / DASH WAS LIT UP - RADIO DIDN'T WORK. 17 DAYS IS NOTHING FOR A CAR TO SIT AND DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE DIED THE FIRST WEEK. THEN WHAT - NO ALARM - NOTHING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY HAVE THIS ISSUE. FOR ALL I KNOW MY HONDA BATTERY DIED DAY 2 OR 3 AS MANY ONLINE SAY THEIRS DIES AFTER SITTING JUST A FEW DAYS.

TWICE AT THE SAME 4 STOP INTERSECTION, I HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN CLEAR ATTEMPTED PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) HAS ENGAGED UNEXPECTEDLY. BOTH TIMES I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND WHEN A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED, HALTING ME IN THE INTERSECTION.

ON SATURDAY 2/29/2020 I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 183 HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AT 68 MPH WHEN MY DRIVER DOOR OPENED. IT DIDN'T FLY ALL THE WAY OPEN BUT IT WAS AJAR ABOUT 4 TO 5 INCHES. I HELD THE DOOR AS CLOSE TO CLOSED AS I COULD WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER HAND TO REACH A SAVE STOP IN ORDER TO CLOSE MY DOOR. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND 8 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT IS SCARY NONETHELESS. I WAS ABOUT 19 MILES INTO MY TRIP TO WORK THAT DAY. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THAT WAS NO ALERT THAT MY DOOR WAS OPENED PRIOR TO IT OPENING. THERE WASN'T EVEN A ALERT ONCE IT BECAME OPEN AND I NOTICED BECAUSE I COULD HEAR THE AIR AND THE DOOR WAS MOVING. THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM STILL SHOWED THE DOOR LOCKED BEFORE I UNLOCKED IT AND CLOSED THE DOOR. WHILE IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. I WOULD STILL APPRECIATE THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

FROM THE DATE I PURCHASED (SO HONDA ALREADY KNEW OF PROBLEM) MY VEHICLE OIL IS BEING OVER FILLED (AND DILUTED) WITH GASOLINE. IT DILUTES AND OVERFILLS TO THE POINT OF PCV VALVE BURN OFF. NOW 33000 MILES ON AUTO, HONDA WANTS TO CHANGE INJECTORS TO "SEE" IF THIS SOLVES PROBLEM. ONE: IT'S HAPPENED SINCE NEW. INJECTORS OR DOUBTFULLY THE PROBLEM. TWO: 33000 MILES OF GAS/OIL DILUTION HAS UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED WEAR TO CRANK AND CYLINDERS. HOW IS INJECTORS BEING REPLACED GOING TO "SOLVE" THE WEAR THAT THEY HAVE ALLOWED, SINCE MY CONTINUED CONCERNS AT EVERY SINGLE OIL CHANGE FOR 33000 MILES WERE IGNORED? I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, BUT VERY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE. ONE: WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS FOR 33000 MILES? TWO: WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINING FROM THE START OF DILUTION, WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDRESSED THE WEAR TO MY ENGINE? AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT STOP THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY HONDA IGNORING MY COMPLAINTS FOR 33000 MILES TO START A REPAIR. NOTE, I HAVE ADDRESSED OVERFILLING WITH GASOLINE AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (GARAGE VISIT) TO THE POINT OF ARGUMENT JUST TO GET IT DOCUMENTED THAT I RAISED THE ISSUE! IT DILUTES TO PCV VALVE BURNOFF BEFORE 1000 MILES (AS TESTED AND VERIFIED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP!) AND GOES FOR AT LEAST 5000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. EVERY DAY MORE GAS AND OIL ARE BURNT THROUGH EXHAUST AS MORE GAS IS ADDED. I WILL COMPLY WITH THE INJECTOR "FIX" BY THE GARAGE, BUT WANT MY WEAR TO THE ENGINE ADDRESSED. THIS IS GROSS OVERFILLING AND DILUTION, KNOWN BY HONDA, AND SOLD TO ME ANYWAYS, WITH NO REPAIR AS OF YET TO WEAR. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND THEY HAVE ALLOWED SUCH GROSS DILUTION AND WEAR? THEY ARE CLAIMING A "COLD CLIMATE" PROBLEM, BUT MY DOES IT IN THE HEAT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUMMER! HONDA IS COVERING UP.

APPROXIMATELY 2,200 MILES. DRIVING NORMALLY AT ABOUT 35MPH. CAR STARTED SEVERELY MISFIRING. AND QUICKLY STARTED LOSING POWER. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 9 MPH..WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. VISUALLY CHECKED MOTOR INCLUDING OIL DIPSTICK. STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE NORMAL. GAS IN THE OIL. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED BY THE HONDA SERVICE TECH THERE WAS GAS IN THE OIL AND PLUGS WERE FOULED. OIL DILLUTION PROBLEM.
