2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKES DEPLOYED SUDDENLY WHEN THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF DANGER, TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45 TO 50 MPH AND ON TWO OCCASIONS AT RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS HAVE ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH.

AFRAID THIS CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE! ENGINE OIL IS GETTING DILUTED WITH FUEL DUE TO THE TURBO ENGINES ON THE 2017 -2018 HONDA CRVS. I NOTIFIED STEVENSON HENDRICK HONDA IN DECEMBER 2018 OF A FUEL SMELL IN CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING AND AN MIL (MALFUNCTION ERROR CAME UP & ALL SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED UNTIL I CUT CAR OFF AT NEXT STOP AND RESTARTED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR ON 12/24/18 AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN DUE TO FUEL SMELL IN CABIN & WE HAD CHECKED OIL & THE DIPSTICK REAKED OF FUEL & WAS WAY OVER THE HIGH MARK. TOOK CAR ON 8/10/19 AND I MADE SERVICE MANAGER TONY CHECK OIL IN FRONT OF ME TO VERIFY FUEL WAS IN IT. THEY SAID THEY CHANGED COMPUTER MODULE AND DID SOME UPDATES TO FIX & TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON 8/1/717 AT 8;00 FOR INSTALL OF SPARK PLUGS THEY ORDERED. DROVE 40 MILES BACK HOME AND FUEL WAS ALREADY IN THE OIL AGAIN! CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK TO LET THEM KNOW I WANT THE OIL/OIL FILTER CHANGED AGAIN ON 8/17/19 WHEN THEY DO SPARK PLUGS AND THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK OIL IN CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AS WELL & SPOKE TO "CAT". SHE WASN'T HELPFUL AT ALL AND REFUSED TO TELL ME WHY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE THEY SENT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FUEL DILUTION IN THE OIL. IT ONLY REFERRED TO ERROR CODES & WHIRLING NOISE IN ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING IN "COLD WEATHER REGIONS" AND THAT I AM THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF. I TOLD THEM THAT IF PEOPLE DON'T CHECK THEIR OIL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TELL THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR OIL THAT THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE CONSUMERS.THIS CAR SCARES ME ME & I'M AFRAID MY ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE FROM THIS ISSUE!

I CONTINUE TO GET RANDOM "LANE DEPARTURE" WHEN DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL ROAD. HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY CAN NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON A ONE WAY STREET IN CITY TRAFFIC WITH NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME AND SEVERAL BEHIND ME, AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A SIGNAL LIGHT INTERSECTION THE CRV WENT INTO COLLISION ALERT WITH A WARNING ON THE DASH AND BEEPING, IT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THERE WAS NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME OR COMING FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE CROSS STREET. THIS HAS HAPPEN ONE TIME BEFORE WHEN I WAS PASSING THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND ONE LANE HAD CONES CUTTING A TWO LANE DOWN TO ONE LANE. IT AGAIN SLAMMED AN THE BRAKES AS IF I WAS LEAVING THE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTO DIMMING HEADLIGHTS THAT DIM WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT AND GO TO BRIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN MEETING TRAFFIC AND SHOULD BE DIM. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ALSO MORE THAN ONE TIME AND THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO GET RANDOM MESSAGES THAT POWER HAS BEEN LOST TO MY INFORMATION CENTER (PICTURES INCLUDED). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS HONDA CRV AND THE DEALER SEEMS THEY ARE JUST WANTING ME TO BE OUT OF WARRANTY OR DON'T CARE.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PART OF HONDA SENSING WILL AUTOMATICALLY AND RANDOMLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE BREAKS TO BE SELF APPLIED ABRUPTLY EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR.

COMPUTER BREAK SYSTEM AND APPLIED BRAKES FAILED TO STOP OUR HONDA CRV 2018 AS WE WERE EXITING THE SANTA FE OPERA IN A SLOW MOVING LINE OF CARS DOWN AN INCLINE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME WE MADE THE DECISION TO "SELECT A PINE TREE" AS A WAY TO STOP THE CRV. THIS WAS DONE TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE CHAIN REACTION OF REAR END COLLISIONS TO A DOZEN OR MORE CARS AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
