2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

2018 HONDA CR-V EX - WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED AND GLASS BITS FELL INTO CAR. SUNROOF WAS NOT HIT BY A ROCK. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR US ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 7 DAYS AGO (580 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT). SUNROOF GLASS WAS BOWING OUTWARD AFTER EXPLOSION.

HONDA 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IS GETTING ABNORMAL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AND WATER IN THE OIL. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WITH MOBIL 1 WAS JET BLACK AFTER 4,300 MILES OF USE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS 10,000 MILES. THE MOBIL 1 ENGINE OIL HAS BROKEN DOWN BEFORE 5,000 MILES.

WHEN I STOP ON LEVEL ROAD AND TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES FROM 700 RPM TO 1000-1100 RPM UP TP 7MPH.THATS WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE CAR.REPORT SAYS "VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE TILL REACHES7PH THEN DROP TO IDLE SPEED.THIS IS VEHICLE NORMAL OPERATION CONDITION.NO REPAIR NEEDED."THEY SAID ALL SYSTEMS ARE AT FACTORY SETTINGS.I'VE OWNED CARS FOR 55 YRS. AND NEVER HAD ONE DO THIS.THEY MIGHT ROLL SLIGHTLY BUT NEVER ACCELERATE.I FEEL IT IS A POSSIBLE DESIGN SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.IF YOU TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE YOU CAN REAR END SOMETHING OR KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE.THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS EVEN UP HILL AND EVERY TIME TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE.IF THIS IS FACTORY SETTING SOMETHING IS NOT RITE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, A CRASH OCCURRED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE, BRAKE SYSTEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN HER AND CAUSED HER TO SLAM INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND HIP INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,076.

THIS VEHICLE HAS "PUSH TO START". IF THE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. I FORGOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AFTER PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, AND I HAD TO GO BACK INTO THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. THE AUTOMAKER NEEDS TO ADD AN OPTION TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. THEY ALREADY OFFER A FEATURE TO LOCK THE CAR WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY, SO MUCH OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND TESTED.

TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD AND THERE WAS NO DEBRIS OR IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS BREAKAGE. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY INFANT SON WHEN THIS OCCURRED. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SHADE CLOSED.

THE ENGINE IS MAKING OIL AS WE DRIVE IT. THERE IS A GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. WE DONT DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES WITH IT LIKE THE DEALER SAID WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN

DOOR ACTUATOR IN RIGHT REAR DOOR KEEPS DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. REPORTED TO HONDA, PURCHASED VEHICLE USED

PARKED CAR ON LEVEL GROUND AFTER DRIVING, WAITED 1 HOUR THEN CHECKED OIL VIA THE DIPSTICK WITH 1500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE THE FULL MARK AND STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK.

VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AND STANDING BESIDE THE CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AFTER REFUELING AT GAS STATION. I DID NOT SEE ANY SPILLED GAS OR ANY LEAKS. SMELL GOT WORSE INSIDE THE CAR ON THE 3 MILE DRIVE HOME AND WAS VERY STRONG WHEN I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE. I CHECKED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND THE SMELL HAD DECREASED ABOUT 50%.
