2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

CONSTANT FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS IS NOTICED WHENEVER, THE CLIMATE CONTROL IS SET TO HAVE EXTERIOR AIR CIRCULATION.

NOTICED A LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR LAST WEEK. GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND SAW A THIN LINE RUNNING THE LENGTH OF BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CRACK WAS IN THE BLACK PART OF THE WINDSHIELD AT THE DEFROST LINE. THE CRACK SEEMED TO SPREAD AFTER COLD NIGHTS. I HAVE INFORMED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.

WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE AND AS SOON AS I STARTED THE ENGINE I RECEIVED 4 WARNINGS: ACC, LKAS, CMBS AND RDM. I HAD AMBER WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING THE BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE, ACC & FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A SECOND THEN RESTARTED IT. ALL 4 WARNINGS AND WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP AUTOMATICALLY. WAS A CLEAR DRY DAY SO I KNEW NOTHING WAS BLOCKING SENSORS SO I STARTED MY HOUR DRIVE HOME THINKING THEY WOULD GO AWAY WHILE DRIVING. THEY NEVER DID. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED AGAIN A FEW SECONDS THEN RESTARTED IT TO NO AVAIL AS ALL LIGHTS AND WARNING RETURNED INSTANTLY.

I OWN A 2018 CRV PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2018. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A SLIGHTLY DRIZZLY, APPROXIMATELY 45-ISH DEGREE MORNING THIS WEEK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG/EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHT CRACKLING NOISE RIGHT OVER MY HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY SUNROOF SHADE SHUT AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK (ABOUT A 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD), I DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BECAUSE I PULLED THE SHADE CLOSED, THE GLASS DID NOT FALL IN TO THE VEHICLE SO THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. MY ROUTE IS ONE I DO DAILY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE AN OVERPASS OR OVERHANGS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING HAD BEEN THROWN/FALLEN ON MY ROOF. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE BODY/ROOF. I BELIEVE THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO AN OUTSIDE BODY SHOP TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALER'S FINANCE OFFICE ABOUT MY WARRANTY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO GLASS REPAIR IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SUBMIT UNDER MY COMPREHENSIVE CAR INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE DID ULTIMATELY COVER THE DAMAGE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RELUCTANT AS THEY FELT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

MY WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE OPEN AND UNLOCKED, INCLUDING HATCHBACK. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4X'S IN LAST TWO WEEKS IN CHICAGO DURING HOLIDAY SEASON! *MP

I EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE ON 11/29/2019 AROUND 1PM. I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP A A STOP SIGN WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO ABOVE 3000RPM. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH MORE FORCE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000RPM. WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKES FIRMLY, I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN CONFIRMED THAT MY FOOT WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE PEDALS AND NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THERE HAPPENS TO BE A POLICE OFFICER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME AND HE CAME UP TO MY VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND HE SUGGESTED I START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I DID SO AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN ABOVE 3000 RPMS. THE POLICE OFFICER CONCURRED THAT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL AND I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN. BY THIS TIME A SECOND OFFICER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. AFTER CONSULTING BRIEFLY, THEY WERE ABOUT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK FOR ME WHEN THE SECOND OFFICER SUGGESTED THAT I TRY STARTING THE VEHICLE ONE MORE TIME. WHEN I DID, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY UPON RETURNING HOME. HOWEVER, AFTER INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS.

LIGHTS, WINDOWS AND SUNROOF ALL OPENED SPONTANEOUSLY OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE DOWNSTAIRS GARAGE OF MY HOME. REMOTE NOT TOUCHED. READ ONLINE OF MANY CASES NOT SO LUCKY THAT OPENED DURING RAIN STORM RESULTING IN A SOAKING WET CAR. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO OPTION TO TURN OFF CONTROL THAT MIGHT TRIGGER THIS. WILL TAKE PHOTO FOR DOCUMENTATION IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN
