2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

DRIVING MY CAR. HEARD A NOISE, STOPPED AS SOON AS I COULD. PROBABLY ABOUT 1.5 MILES. I HAD A FLAT. IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE BIG FLAT TIRES YOU GET AND YOU KNOW IT WITHIN 10 SECONDS. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON, THE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT A NEW TIRE AT THE CLOSEST TIRE PLACE. IT WASN'T THE SAME MANUFACTURER, BUT IT WAS THE SAME TIRE SPECIFICATIONS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT TIRE. I'VE DONE THAT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, WITH NO PROBLEM. WELL, THE TIRE PRESSURING SYSTEM LIGHT KEPT GOING ON. I KEPT RESETTING IT AND IT WOULD GO ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT. 10 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THE EXACT TIRE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY NEW TIRE. I DID THAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE TIRE LIGHT (TPMS) WAS ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE RESET AGAIN, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE RESET 3 TIMES REALLY FAST. (IS THIS IN THE MANUAL? IS THIS A REAL THING?) IT HASN'T COME BACK ON. WHAT CONCERNS ME, IS THE SAFETY OF DRIVING WITH A FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE WITH NO WARNING. AND IT'S SCARY DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON EVERY 10 MINUTES. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THERE'S A REAL EMERGENCY? IF A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME COME ON WITH A FLAT, WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO COME ON? WHEN YOU DON'T PUT ON AN EXACT MATCHING TIRE? WHEN YOU DON'T RESET IT 3 TIMES REALLY FAST? 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN A 2 WEEK TIME SPAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIBRATING AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT AS IF THE LANE ASSIST FEATURE WERE ENGAGED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OPTION TO USE THE FEATURE WAS OFF AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (D'ELLA HONDA OF GLENS FALLS, 313 QUAKER RD, QUEENSBURY, NY 12804, (518) 793-3811) STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT CONSOLE MALFUNCTIONED AND THE BACK-UP CAMERA WOULD APPEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN REVERSE.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN. THE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WE STEPPED IN GAS AND THE SMELL WAS FROM OUR SHOES. AFTER MORE HEADACHES AND RESEARCH, WE ARE REALIZING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CR-V'S. ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS UPON STARTING. WE PARK THE CAR IN A GARAGE. WHILE AT WORK, THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE. I WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT AND THE ENGINE WAS HESITANT TO START AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO START A CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT LAGGED AND AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES DURING THE WINTER. EACH INCIDENT WAS A SEPARATE OCCASION. EACH TIME WAS AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A FEW HOURS.

BAD DESIGN -- THE 2ND ROW MIDDLE AND LEFT SEAT BELT BUCKLE APPEAR TO BE REVERSED. WHEN THE MIDDLE AND LEFT SEAT BELTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE BUCKLES THEY HAVE TO CROSS OVER EACH OTHER. IF ONE PASSENGER IS ALREADY BELTED IN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO SECURE THE OTHER PASSENGER IN EITHER THE MIDDLE OR LEFT SEAT POSITION. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEB SITES, SUCH AS "PROCARSEATSAFETY.COM WE NOTICE THIS ISSUE WITHIN A MONTH OF LEASING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS ADVISED AND SAID THAT'S THE WAY HONDA DESIGNED IT.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HWY, MULTIPLE TIMES NOW, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON CONCERNING THE SENSING SYSTEMS AND BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES NOW WITH NO REAL ANSWERS. IT'S YOUR TOLL TAG PLACEMENT - NOPE. IT'S AN OLD CODE THAT WE RESET - NOPE. IT ISN'T HAPPENING NOW - THEN I LEAVE AND IT HAPPENS THE NEXT DAY. WHERE DO I REPORT A 35K LEMON???

LANE DEPARTURE AND COLLISION CONTROL OFTEN ENGAGE WITHOUT CAUSE. TWICE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE LANE DEPARTURE SENSORS GO OFF AND VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY BE FALSELY READING SHADOWS OR WET ROADWAYS. ONE INCIDENT WAS ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THE OTHER WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70 MPH.

WE WERE DRIVING FROM BRIDGEPORT,WV TO NEW JERSEY ON 2/9/19. FOUR HOURS INTO THE TRIP CARALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN AND ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK AT THAT POINT. CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGH WAY. WE PULLED OVER CALLED AAA SERVICE AND TOYOTA. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ THEY FIX MULTIPLE DTC UPDATED PO302 RELATED RECALL, UPDATED PCM/TCU NO MORE MISFIRE. CAR NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS WEEK ITS TWICE.

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED VIBRATING, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BURNING SMELL OCCURRED, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY VERY ABRUPTLY. IT WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AS SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT VERY FAST SPEEDS. REPORTED THE FIRST OCCURRENCE TO THE MCGRATH CITY HONDA, CHICAGO, IL IN JANUARY 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES AND THEY REPLACED SOME FUEL SENSORS AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE (DEFECTIVE PART). SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2019, COULD NOT TAKE PHOTOS AS THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. REPORTED THE THIRD INCIDENT IN MARCH 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTOR AND THEY PLACED THE ORDER FOR THE PART. WE ARE REALLY, REALLY SCARED OF DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE, MALFUNCTIONING AND HAZARDOUS VEHICLE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET LAST NIGHT AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND SAVE THE PEOPLE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON DRY ROADS WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC DUE TO IT BEING SPRING BREAK IN ATLANTA. I WAS DRIVING AT 48 MPH AND SUDDENLY IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE HAD STOMPED ON THE BRAKES HARD. THE CAR SLOWED VERY QUICKLY TO 30 MPH. A CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING ME AT SIMILAR SPEED HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT COULD HAVE TRIGGERED A BREAKING RESPONSE AND I DID NOT DEVIATE FROM MY LANE EITHER. THIS WAS A COMPLETELY RANDOM EVENT. 10 MINUTES LATER AS I GOT CLOSER TO WORK THE LANE DIVERSION WARNING CAME ON, AGAIN WITH ME BEING ROCKY STEADY IN MY LANE. I THINK THE SENSORS MAY HAVE BEEN READING ANY WHITES LINES IN THE ROAD, LIKE A CROSSWALK OR WHITE LANE TURN ARROW.
