2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ENGINE OIL DILUTION. SMELLS GAS. OIL LEVEL HIGHER THAN MAX. SOME LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. ALL HAPPENED BEFORE 5K MILES. LESS THAN 700 MILES ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR THE SAME REASON. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES STILL SAME PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A LOCAL STREET WHEN THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE BRAKING AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. NOT A SINGLE VEHICLE OR OBJECT WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR.CAR CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. HAD TO VEER OFF ONTO CENTER OF THE ROAD ONTO LEFT TURN ONLY LANE TO AVOID REAR CAR CRASH. DANGEROUS CONDITION. LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE EVENT TILL CAR CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT.

THERE ARE RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY: 1. NUMEROUS TIMES THE DISPLAY HAS GONE FULL FREAK-OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE DISPLAY TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF, ATTEMPTS TO ADJUST ITS OWN BRIGHTNESS AND REPEATEDLY BEEPS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE MADNESS IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNCOOL THING TO HAPPEN WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC AROUND THEM. PLEASE ALSO REFERENCE NHTSA COMPLAINT #11132814 FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. 2. EVEN THOUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN SENSITIVITY IS SET THE HIGHEST LEVEL, SOMETIMES YOU MUST PRESS THE 'CYBER BUTTONS' REPEATEDLY BEFORE THE UNIT REGISTERS THAT YOU HAVE PRESSED A BUTTON. WHILE I AM MOTORING DOWN THE ROAD PRESSING FAUX BUTTONS 10-15 TIMES TO TRY TO GET THE UNIT TO DO SOMETHING GUESS WHERE MY EYES ARE NOT'YEAH, ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME WHERE MY EYES SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY/CONTROL UNIT IS WORKING PER SPEC.

THE DESIGN OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A SHARP EDGE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. MY ELDERLY MOTHER RECEIVED A MINOR LACERATION ON HER LEG FROM THIS DOOR. THE DOOR TRIED TO GET MY BROTHER'S LEG NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT HE WAS WEARING JEANS SO NO LACERATION. THESE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED IN JAN & FEB OF 2019 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING USED TO CARRY PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE IS NORMALLY JUST USED FOR THE DRIVER WITHOUT HAVING PASSENGERS.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT WEATHER-TIGHT AND ACCUMULATE MOISTURE FROM WASHING THE CAR OR FROM RAIN. AT NIGHT WHEN USING THE HEADLIGHTS, THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS FOGS UP FROM THE COLLECTED MOISTURE AND REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THERE WAS ALREADY A LAYER OF DUST ON THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION OF IT. AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS MORE AND MORE DUST COLLECTS. OBVIOUSLY, THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A DECENT HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM STARTING FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. I HAVE PUT THE DATE OF PURCHASE AS A DATE OF OCCURRENCE.

ENGINE STALLED AFTER MORE THAN 2 HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVE; AFTER 20 MINUTES BREAK THE ENGINES RAN AGAIN; THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE OVER LAST 2 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS EXTREMELY DIRTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER BROOKDALE HONDA (LOCATED AT 6800 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN 55429, (612) 424-7830) WHERE FUEL WAS FOUND ON THE OIL DIPSTICK. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUEL AND OIL DILUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09533542. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,495. *BF *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN RANDOMLY STARTS FLASHING AND BEEPING. WITH THE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL BAR POPPING UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A BIG SAFTEY ISSUE FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY I BELIVE IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AND THE CAR HAS AN ANDROID PHONE ATTACHED HOWEVER I AM UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. MY VEHICLE HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE REPORT ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS HAPPEND TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. I REPORTED THIS BY TELEPHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA AS WELL 0N 05/30/2019 . I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE THAT ONETIME THIS WINTER I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING OR SNOWING THAT DAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING AT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY FLASHED THE BRAKE WARNING AND THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHED A FULL STOP. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS AS THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLE IN MY PATH. NO CAR WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE EITHER. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

RADIO SCREEN RANDOMLY STARTS ADJUSTING ITS BRIGHTNESS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 4/32/19, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN ALL WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO TO MAKE IT STOP OTHER THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING BECAUSE IT IS CONSTANTLY BEEPING WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT. I TRIED TURNING THE RADIO OFF, THIS DID NOT HELP. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HIT THE DIM BUTTON ON THE SCREEN, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS IS TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY/ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.
