2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

OUR SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR EXPRESSWAY. WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 4 HRS, AND THE SUNROOF GLASS BUBBLED OUTWARDS AND EXPLODED IN MANY MANY SMALL FRAGMENTS. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WITH AN OUTSIDE OBJECT AND THE GLASS WAS CLEARLY BLOWN OUTWARD. WE SUSPECT THE HEAT BUILDUP BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE MOON PRESSURIZED THE AIR AND THE GLASS FAILED, EXPLODING.

WHILE DRIVING LEISURELY ON A WINDING ROAD CALLED SULLIVAN TRAIL, SCOTRUN PA WE RECEIVED AN ALERT ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD: "BRAKE SYSTEM ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" (RDMS). THE RDMS BUTTON WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. WE WERE ABOUT 2 MINUTES FROM HOME SO THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND PARKED. AT HOME, WE PRESSED THE RDMS BUTTON AND IT DID NOT LIGHT TO ENGAGE. THROUGH GOOGLE SEARCH, WE FOUND OUT OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AT THE APPROXIMATE 5000 MILE MARK. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT RAY PRICE HONDA IN STROUDSBURG PA IN NOVEMBER 2018. IT HAS HAD ONE OIL SERVICE CHANGE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AT THE 5000 MILE MARK. CURRENTLY, IT HAS 5570 MILES. WE UNDERSTAND FROM AN ARTICLE ONLINE THAT HONDA DOES NOT GIVE WARRANT ON THIS ISSUE WHICH COULD COST 3000 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN MAINLY FOR SHORT AND CAREFUL DRIVES AROUND STROUDSBURG -- FOOD SHOPPING AND THE LIKE FOR OUR HOME. WITH SUCH LIMITED DRIVES, IT SHOULD SURELY BE MORE RELIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE APPROACHING A RAILROAD TRACK AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED FORCEFULLY ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT CALLED STEVE PADGETT'S DANVILLE HONDA (LOCATED AT 4050 RIVERSIDE DR, DANVILLE, VA 24541, (434) 710-4019) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,806.

THE MESSAGE BRAKE APPEARS WHILE DRIVING EVEN WITHOUT ANY CARS IN FRONT. IT HAPPENS IRREGULARLY BUT OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS UNSETTLING AND MOSTLY TRAVELING AT AROUND 50 M/H. REPORTED TWICE TO HONDA TECHNICIAN WHO SAID IT HAPPENS WITH OTHER 18 CRV. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM' (CMBS')*

DRIVING IN TOWN GOING TO STORE SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE DEAD ANIMAL OR SOME HAIR BURNING HORRIBLE SMELL ALMOST GOT SICK AND OR PASSED OUT. NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES I DROVE IT THE SMELL GOT BETTER BUT I TOLD MY SON. I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE CAUSE I WAS GETTING SICK. THEN THE SMELL WENT AWAY AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON SAYING I HAD 15% OIL LIFE LEFT. ME AND MY SON SMELLED OIL STICK AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. TIRES WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE ON ALL FOUR AT 11,940. MILES. I HAD TO PAY MY OWN MONEY TO BALANCE THEM AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, TRAVELLING STRAIGHT EAST WITH NO TURNS. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE, TIME WAS 5:40 PM. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY MOONROOF EXPLODED, I WAS VERY STARTLED AND SWERVED BARELY MISSING THE CAR BESIDE ME. THE SUNSCREEN WAS CLOSED, AND I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT SHATTERED GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED ON THE CAR BEHIND ME. INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 11/01/2019

ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CRV AUTO BRAKES HARD AND LANE KEEP FOLLOWS THE WRONG LINES. 2 EXAMPLES OF BRAKING: 1 - A PICKUP TRUCK WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT ON ME. AS A HUMAN I STARTED TO GO AROUND HIM TO THE LEFT AS HE TURNED BUT MY AUTO BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME CAME WITHIN INCHES FROM REAR ENDING ME THEN GOT ROAD RAGE AND CHASED ME FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO! COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! 2ND WAS ON A BEND IN THE ROAD - A WHITE MOVING TRUCK COMING THE OTHER WAY ON THE BEND MADE MY AUTO BRAKES LOCK UP HARD / NEAR A FULL STOP! THIS HAPPENS OFTEN BUT NOT USUALLY TO THESE EXTREMES. LANE KEEP - WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE AND LK ON I WENT THRU A RECENT CONSTRUCTION AREA AND MY HONDA STARTED TO FOLLOW OLD LINES AND PAINTED OVER W/ BLACK PAINT LINES - NOT THE NEW LINES FROM AFTER THE REPAIRS! IT WAS SCARY - ALMOST DROVE ME INTO A BARRIER! ON 1200 MILE TRIP TO FLORIDA MY CAR OFTEN WOULD HIT THE BRAKES FOR REASONS I COULD NOT TELL OR GO OUT OF THE NORMAL ROAD LINES OR THE ACC WOULD SLOW THE CAR TO A CRAWL FOR TRUCKS IN THE OTHER LANE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - THEY SAY NPF. ONE GUY DID SAY TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY WHICH I DID BUT IT STILL BRAKES WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. MY WIFES CAR DOES NOT REACT THIS WAY.

PROBLEMS FIRST PRESENTED: AUTO DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTION, AUTO- RAIN SENSING WIPER MALFUNCTION WOULD COME ON WHEN DRY, NOT COME ON WHEN WET; NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT CRAZY ON THE HIGHWAY FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN USING IT; TWICE THE AUTO BREAKING SYSTEM CAME ON WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME....GOING 50 MPH! I VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. I SAW NO OBSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TWICE TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AND THEY HAVE NO BULLETINS REGARDING THESE ISSUES.

3 TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FWY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, LANE CONTROL ACTIVATED, AND THE DISTANCE SET TO MINIMUM, WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, THE CAR DETECTED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF ME AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN APRIL OF 2019 AND OCT OF 2019. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DIRT ON THE MILLIWAVE RADAR, FOUND CODE P2583-97, I FOUND THIS TO BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SPOTLESS. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN ASKED HOW THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT 10 MILES DOWN A BOLSA CHICA RD. I TOLD THE SEVICE PERSON THAT THAT WAS NOT THE SAME CONDITIONS AS I WAS DRIVING AND THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR UP TO 65 MPH WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45 MPH AND IT WASN'T A FWY. HER RESPONSE WAS WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE CARS ON THE FWY. I SAID THEN HOW ARE YOU DO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MULTABLE ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SOLVED YET. ALL I GET IS THE SAME ANSWER, CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS SOLD NEW AND THE PERSON BEFORE ME TURNED THIS CAR IN WITH ONLY 8000 MILES ON IT FOR A NEW CAR THAT THEY COULD TRUST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AD COULD CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THATS NOT MY FAULT.

HI EVERY TIME LATELY AT THE LIGHTS OR WHEN I LEFT MY CAR ON MY DRIVEWAY OR AT PARKING LOT A VERY STRONG GASOLINE ODOR COMES MOST LIKELY FROM THE FRONT/ENGINE. PLEASE ADVISE.
