2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TAILGATE WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACKSEAT AND WITHIN SECONDS HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOKED UP AND OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT WAS STILL ALL IN TACT, JUST SHATTERED. I LOOKED AT THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY IT WOULD HAVE SHATTERED. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR A LARGE CHUNK FROM THE MIDDLE FELL INTO THE CAR.

WE PURCHASED THE 2018 CR-V AND JULY OF LAST YEAR. AT THAT TIME WE HAD TWO CHILDREN AND EXPECTING A THIRD. WE KNEW ALL THREE KIDDOS WOULD FIT IN THE CRV'S BACKSEAT. WHAT WE CAME TO FIND OUT AFTER NEEDING ALL THREE SEAT BELTS, WE REALIZED THAT THERE CANNOT BE THREE PEOPLE SAFELY BUCKLED AT THE SAME TIME. MAKING OUR 5 PASSENGER CAR REALLY ONLY A FOUR PASSENGER CAR. THE BUCKLES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE MIDDLE SIDE ARE CRISS-CROSSED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT ALL THREE OF OUR CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA AND OUR DEALERSHIP WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY EXPECT ME TO KEEP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE ENGINE OF OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5 L TURBO) SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST, THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY PORTLAND, OREGON, STREET ON A DARK AND RAINY OCTOBER EVENING. THANKFULLY, THE DRIVER OF THE CR-V MANAGED TO GET OFF THE STREET AND ROLL INTO A GAS STATION WITHOUT GETTING REAR-ENDED. THE CR-V WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS "OIL LEVEL ABOVE SPEC." RISING OIL LEVEL IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2017-18 HONDA CR-VS, CAUSED BY DILUTION OF CRANKCASE OIL WITH UNBURNED GASOLINE DUE TO AN ENGINE DESIGN FLAW WELL KNOWN TO HONDA. DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME/PLACE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE RECALLED IN THE U.S. THEY ALREADY BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA!

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 CRV-EX THE DASHBOARD INFO DISPLAY WILL RANDOMLY ADJUST BRIGHTNESS AND TURN IT ON/OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IT IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. WILL DO IT TWICE IN ONE DAY AND THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH WITH NO TREES OR BRIDGES AROUND IT. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR THE SUNROOF FELL IN ON ME. IT'S WAS A SPIDERWEB CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE ROOF. IT WAS 93 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ROOF WHEN I CLOSED THE SUN ROOF ABOUT 8 HOURS EARLIER WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK. THE CAR HAS 7K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN PARKED IN A GARAGE FOR PAST 6 MONTHS WHILE I WAS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE.

OIL BEING DILUTED WITH GAS. HONDA ISSUED A "SERVICE BULLETIN" ABOUT THIS. THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT IT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FVDKNRGZGT8 WE TOOK IT IN AND THE "FIX" WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THE OIL CONTINUES TO GET DILUTED WITH GAS. WE WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN WISCONSIN, IF THEY FAIL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN 4 TRIES, IT BECOMES A LEMON. I DON'T WANT IT TO COME TO THAT BECAUSE I AM SURE THAT WILL BE A BIG HASSLE, BUT THE LONG TERM PROBLEMS CAUSED BY GAS IN THE OIL MAY BE WORSE. NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM HONDA!

GASOLINE DILUTES ENGINE OIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 INCH ABOVE THE MAXIMUM OIL FILL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK AFTER 5000 MILES. INFORMED DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. AFTER PARKING AND LOCKING THE VEHICLE, AN AUDIBLE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALARM SOUNDED EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED, THE AUDIBLE SOUND FOR THE DOOR LOCK WOULD SOUND; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DISPLAY WOULD OCCASIONALLY FLASH ON AND OFF AND THEN GO BLANK. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED TO WORK. COMMUNITY HONDA LAFAYETTE (LOCATED AT 1407 LA 728-8, LAFAYETTE, LA 70501, (337) 235-9086) STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS PROGRAMMED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, WHICH WAS A FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED FORGOT TO SAY AS I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON HWY 90- A CAR WAS ON MY RIGHT IN THE TURN LANE- MY CAR STOPPED AND COPS WERE COMING BEHIND- ALMOST SLAMMED ARE ME IN THE BACK. DOORS NOT LACKING WHEN EXITED.*JB

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A LOUD POP BEFORE THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES TO THE RIGHT OF OR IN FRONT OF MY CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED, SINCE I WAS IN THE RIGHT-MOST LANE OF TRAFFIC. THEREFORE, THE GLASS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHATTERED BY DEBRIS.
