2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

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.

HAD ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL SUCH AS WARNING LIGHTS IN THE PAST, 38,000 MILES HAD FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. MENTION WHEN I GOT THE CAR THAT IT DID NOT HEAT PROPERLY, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. DOES NOT HEAT WHEN IDLING . SO I STARTED CHECKING IT OUT AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IDLING.

WHILE DRIVING ON SLICK ROADS I WAS USING BLUEOOTH TO HAVE A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION. A CAR SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING ME TO SWERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE BLUETOOTH DISENGAGED AND I HEARD THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY CLICK TO LOCK (THEY WERE ALREADY LOCKED). I ASSUME THESE ARE BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK OVERRODE THE MANUAL LOCK FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK; I COULD NOT EXIT THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED MANY TIMES TO USE THE FOB OR TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO NO AVAIL.I HAD TO EXIT USING THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK REFUSED TO WORK UNTIL I USED THE PHYSICAL KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. USING THE PHYSICAL KEY APPEARED TO RE-SET THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM AND IT THEN WORKED NORMALLY.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 CRV EXL IN LATE NOVEMBER 2018. SINCE THEN THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN CHIPPED TWICE (REPAIRED BOTH TIMES) AND CRACKED TWO OTHER TIMES - REQUIRING WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT AT $1,200 (OEM) EACH TIME. I'VE DRIVEN THE SAME NORMAL PAVED ROADS/HIGHWAYS THAT I'VE DRIVEN FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS - HAVING ONLY EXPERIENCED TWO WINDSHIELD CRACKS ACROSS ALL MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES DURING ALL THOSE YEARS. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE COMBINED WITH ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER GEN5 HONDA CRV OWNERS AND OBSERVATIONS BY THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR SHOP INDICATE THAT GEN5 HONDA CRVS HAVE INSUFFICIENTLY STRONG/DURABLE OEM WINDSHIELDS. AS A RESULT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SHOULD MY FAMILY BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, MY INSURANCE AGENT HAS INFORMED ME THAT ANOTHER WINDSHIELD REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CLAIM IS LIKELY TO INCREASE EITHER MY INSURANCE PREMIUM OR DEDUCTIBLE - ACCORDINGLY I PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE LAST CHIP REPAIR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO DESIGN A STRONGER REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD AND/OR EXTEND THE WARRANTIES TO COVER WINDSHIELD DAMAGE.

STALLING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC. OIL DIP STICK SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE IS "OVERFULL" ON OIL MARK. *LN VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED BECAUSE OK HAD BEEN DRAINED TO A LOWER LEVEL ONCE AND REPLACED 2 TIMES. CONSUMER STATED FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED FUEL LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE CPU ASSEMBLY WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CASE 09652318. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON MY CR-V DUE TO A TWEAKED FRAME OUT OF THE FACTORY WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 23RD.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY THE CAR SYSTEM GOT JAMMED. I GOT A MESSAGE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES.THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PRESS.THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR,VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM,LANE ASSIST SHOWS FAILED MESSAGE. LUCKILY NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF ME SO I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND STEER THE VEHICLE TO SIDE. I WAS ON LOCAL ROAD WITH MY FAMILY AND LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT.I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ASKED ME TO CONTACT LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO EVALUATE AND REPORT SAYS AN ISSUE WITH FAILURE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V IN MAY 2018, IT WAS NEW, WITH 717 DEALER MILES ON IT. IT CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA HL 422 PLUS TIRES IN SIZE 235 65R17 AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. AT 9,292 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES. ON SEPTEMBER 28TH I WENT ON VACATION AND CAME BACK OCTOBER 5TH. ON A PERFECTLY CLEAR DAY, NO HAZARDS IN THE ROAD, ON INTERSTATE 26 NORTH OF FLORENCE, SC, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR NEXT TO ME BACKFIRING. BUT THEN I HEARD THE DREADED FLAPPING SOUND OF A FLAT TIRE ON MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSTATE AND PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHICH WAS ON THE LEFT REAR. I THEN SEARCHED ON MY PHONE FOR THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I STILL HAD ABOUT 140 MILES TO GET HOME, AND DID NOT WANT TO RISK IT ON THE 'DOUGHNUT' SPARE TIRE. I FOUND ONE IN SUMTER, SC, ABOUT 25 MILES OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WENT THERE. THEY PUT ON A NEW TIRE WHICH COST ME $167.52. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I BELIEVED IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. HE SAID 'LET'S LOOK ON THE INSIDE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY METAL OR OTHER DEBRIS'. THERE WAS NONE. JUST AN INNER SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. HE BAGGED THE TIRE UP FOR ME. AND I CONTINUED HOME. MONDAY OCTOBER 7TH I WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED TO THE PARTS MANAGER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOOK THE TIRE. HE AGREED THAT IT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. HE GOT NO POSITIVE RESPONSE AT ALL FROM BRIDGESTONE, AND I CALLED BRIDGESTONE MYSELF. I GOT STONEWALLED AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. BUT HE KEPT DIGGING AND FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO OFFER WHAT THEY SAID WAS HALF OF THE VALUE - $45 - BUT HE TOLD THEM NO, LET'S SEND THE TIRE IN AND MAKE A DETERMINATION AFTER YOU RECEIVE AND INSPECT IT. I GOT A CHECK TODAY $63.01 FOR MY DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE TIRE SELLS ONLINE FOR $159. THEY KNOW THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. *JS

MY 2018 CR V HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 5 TIMES. BASICALLY ON MY MORNING COMMUTE FROM NORCO TO LOS ANGELES I SPORADICALLY GET AN ERROR MESSAGE, ROAD MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM PROBLEM ALONG WITH A BRAKE LIGHT CYCLE THROUGH MY DASHBOARD AND ALL THESE SYSTEMS FAIL TO WORK. THIS WILL LAST THE REST OF MY COMMUTE AND ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN I DRIVE HOME LATER ON IN THE DAY. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, THEY SENT IT HOME WITH ME BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ERROR CODES, PROBLEM STILL PRESENT. FINALLY THIS LAST TIME THE TECHNICIAN ADJUSTED SOME CAMERAS TO SEE IF THAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM, IT DID NOT. MY CAR IS STILL IN YOUR SHOP AT PENSKE ONTARIO AND THE TECHNICIAN WHO CALLED ME YESTERDAY SAID THIS IS A NORMAL FEATURE OF THIS CAR, AND THE HONDA HOTLINE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPORTED. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR IS PICKING UP SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING IT TO FAIL. MY COMMUTE IS AT 4AM ON A NON BUSY FREEWAY, I HAVE NOT NOTICED CONSTRUCTION NOR MAJOR ROAD DAMAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE THE PROBLEM, I DRIVE THIS COMMUTE A LOT AND THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN THEN. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEIR IS NO SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM AND I AM GIVEN A GENERIC ANSWER. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THE CR V. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THEY WILL BE DOING NOTHING FURTHER FOR MY PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES
