2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

CR-V WITH NOW 6000 MILES ON IT GETS OIL IN GAS. OIL CHANGED AT DEALER TWICE. DEALER SAYS HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT MY CAR VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET FIX AUTHORIZED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNDER WARRANTY. GETTING FIX SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM! GAS IN OIL MAY ALSO BE A FIRE HAZARD.

I WAS DRIVING FROM VIRGINIA BEACH, VA TO MIDLOTHIAN, VA ON STATE 288 NORTH (WWII VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH FAR LEFT LANE. I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL. SUDDENLY SMOKE STARTED TO APPEAR FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE HOWEVER, I QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS FROM MY VEHICLE WHAT APPEARED FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND MOVED TO THE FAR-RIGHT SHOULDER JUST SHORT OF MILE MARKER 10. I WAS TRAVELING WITH A COWORKER AND WE BOTH EXISTED THE VEHICLE AND WHITE SMOKE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO FILL THE INTERIOR FROM THE SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. WE CLOSED BOTH DOOR AND STARTED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ALONG THE SHOULDER. WE BOTH KNELT DOWN TO SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE FIRE DRIPPING FROM THE UNDERSIDE TO THE ASPHALT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE STARTED TO SEE FLAMES COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND BEGIN TO ENGULF THE CARE IN LESS THAN 10 MIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 FROM MY COWORKERS' PHONE BECAUSE LEFT MINE IN THE VEHICLE AND DARED NOT TO REENTER IT. A PASSERBY WHO HAPPENED TO BE A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO USE HIS VEHICLES FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FLAME BUT IT WAS TOO LARGE A FIRE. THE STATE TROOPERS ARRIVED IN ABOUT 10 MIN THEN THE FIRE TRUCKS ARRIVED ABOUT 10 MIN AFTER. BY THEN THE ENTIRE CARE WAS IN DARK BLACK SMOKE WITH FLAMES ALL AROUND IT. WE HEARD SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS WHICH THE FIREFIGHTERS SAID WERE MY TIRES AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CANISTERS. THE FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH A FOAM AGENT AND PROCEEDED TO CHECK FOR REMAINING HEAT. NO INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO US STOPPING DUE TO SEEING THE SMOKE. THIS VEHICLE IS SERVICED AT THE NORMAL INTERVALS BY PRIORITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND I'VE NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

THE SUNROOF KEEP LEAKING WATER TO THE TRUNK. I GOT IT REPAIRED 3 TIME. THE ISSUES HAPPEN DURING A RAINSTORM OR GOING TO A CARWASH:

I PURCHASED THIS 1.5 TURBO AND FOUND OUT LATER THE GASOLINE FLOWS INTO THE OIL PAN MIXING TOGETHER. HONDA SAYS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND I DISAGREE . WHILE PURCHASING THIS HONDA , THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MENTIONED THIS SITUATION. I FEEL THAT I PURCHASED THIS HONDA CR-V , 1.5 TURBO UNDER FRAUDULENT TERMS. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WHEN GASOLINE IS MIXED WITH OIL, THE OIL PROTECTION IS REDUCED PROPORTIONATELY. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 58 TO 45 MPH INDEPENDENTLY. DON AYRES HONDA (4740 LIMA RD, FORT WAYNE, IN 46808, (260) 484-0551) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MP/HR I NOTICED A LARGE METAL PLATE THAT A UTILITY COMPANY HAD USED TO COVER A HOLE IN THE ROAD. AS THE CAR APPROACHED THE PLATE, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY, THROWING ME VIOLENTLY FORWARD IN THE SEAT. THERE WERE 2 CARS BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO AMERICAN HONDA CLIENT SERVICES WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND ASKED THAT THE CMBS FEATURE BE DISABLED BECAUSE I FEAR IT WILL ACTIVATE AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AT SOME POINT, CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND, OR, A REAR END COLLISION. THEY SAID THAT THE FEATURE COULD NOT BE DISABLED. IT COULD ONLY BE SHUT DOWN BY AN ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH. HOWEVER, IT AUTOMATICALLY RESETS WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. BECAUSE OF THIS UNEXPECTED AND VIOLENT EXPERIENCE, I FEEL THAT THE CMBS IS A DANGEROUS FEATURE AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'M ASKING THAT THE NHTSA GET HONDA TO FIX THE CMBS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANK YOU.

THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL INCREASES AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN. CHANGED OIL AFTER 7500 MILE INTERVAL, AND THE USED OIL WAS 1.2 QUARTS MORE THAN WHEN FIRST INSTALLED. OIL IS BEING DILUTED

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2017 HONDA CRV TODAY WITH OUR YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER AND A SPRING SUDDENLY POPPED OUT AND FELL ON THE FLOOR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OR REVERSE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND MAKE IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AND THE CRV REQUIRING TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE SERIOUS GAS IN OIL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN AN AREA WITH SEVERE WINTER WEATHER AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. ONCE PULLED OVER, I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BANG OCCURRED WHEN MY SUNROOF HAD SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED.

WHILE CHANGING THE OIL MYSELF AT 14,00 MILES I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL WAS MORE THAN A HALF INCH ABOVE THE FULL LINE AND SMELLED OF STRONGLY OF GASOLINE I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER CRV OWENERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONAS 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. AFTER READING ABOUT THE ISSUE I WAS REMINDED OF TWO INSTANCES THIS PAST WINTER WHEN THE VEHICLE CABIN SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE, BOTH TIMES WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC.
