2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. HAD FOOT ON THE BRAKE IN A PARKING SPOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE ENGINE RACED AND THE CAR PROPELLED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB AND STOPPED WHEN HITTING A TREE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED, AND THE BRAKED DID NOT HOLD IT. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HONDA HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, AND 1800 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO GET THE CAR, SINCE SOMEONE MAY BE KILLED THE NEXT TIME THE CAR DECIDES TO ACT UP. PLEASE HELP

AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. I HAVE SINCE READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITES WHERE OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, I CAN SMELL GAS ON THE DIPSTICK. I AM AWARE HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE U.S. AS WELL AND DO IT IMMEDIATELY.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2017 AT ABOUT 4:30 PM, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND PUT MY CAR INTO A PANIC STOP WHEN I WAS NOT ABOUT TO HAVE A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DRIVING EAST ALONG A 4 LANE UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY IN THE RIGHT LANE (SLOW LANE) AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WAS GREEN. THERE WAS A CAR AHEAD OF ME IN THE SLOW LANE AT THE SIGNAL, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS 5 OR 6 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THIS CAR AND IN NO DANGER OF COLLIDING WITH HIM. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A FULL PANIC STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NO COLLISION WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES, BUT MY RIGHT HIP AND LOWER RIGHT BACK WERE SORE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR. ON THE DEALER'S SUGGESTION, I SET THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE TO "SHORT"; IT HAD BEEN SET AT "NORMAL", THE FACTORY SETTING. MOST DAYS I MANUALLY TURN THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM OFF BEFORE I DRIVE, BUT ON THE DAYS I HAVE FORGOTTEN, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISTANCE SET TO "SHORT". I BELIEVE THAT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, HE MAY HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE BACK OF MY CAR AND CAUSED ME FURTHER INJURY. I THOUGHT FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, I SHOULD REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 FULLY LOADED TOURING CR-V 3 DAYS AGO ON MONDAY. FILING THIS REPORT ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 35 MILES ON IT AS I WRITE THIS. WE DROVE ROUGHLY 25 MILES TOTAL SINCE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER HEARING ABOUT OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL TO SEE IF IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE JUST IN CASE. FYI, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT IT ACTUALLY DID SMELL, BUT IT DIDN'T JUST SMELL A LITTLE. IT SMELLED LIKE WHEN YOU GET GASOLINE ON YOUR HANDS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PAPER TOWEL IN HAND. EVERY SALESPERSON AND TECHNICIAN I HANDED THE PAPER TOWEL TO CONFIRMED THE OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK THAT WAS WIPED ON THE TOWEL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. THEY ARE REVIEWING THE PROBLEM,AND HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT IT DUE TO MY CONCERNS. SOUNDS MORE SERIOUS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME. I AM CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS KNOWN IN CHINA AND JAPAN WILL GROW TO BE LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NHSTA. CHINA HAS HALTED SALES OF THE CR-V UNTIL THEY CAN DETERMINE A REASONABLE FIX. APPARENTLY A RECALL TO ADJUST SOFTWARE TIMINGS WAS NOT ENOUGH. ALSO SHOULD MENTION HONDA CANADA IS MONITORING THIS AND SENT A BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS.

THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA CRV, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEPING ASSISTANCE AND LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION THE VEHICLE STARTED BRAKING AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND THEN ALL THE WARNINGS WENT ACROSS THE DASHBOARD FOR EXAMPLE: BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, PARK WARNING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WARNING, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST WARNING TO NAME A FEW. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE TRIED SEVERAL RESETS BUT EVERY TIME WE GET THE CAR BACK IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

LEFT HOUSE TO FIND ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND THE SUN ROOF PARTIALLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS ON THE DRESSER IN THE HOUSE. CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CONCERNING THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM CAME ON WITH MALFUNCTION WARNINGS, PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF, THEN RESTARTED THE MOTOR AND THE WARNINGS WENT OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR CODES, THERE WERE NONE. MY QUESTION, IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN LOOKING AT THE HONDA FORUMS ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV'S. I DON'T LIKE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO GET THE COMPUTER TO REBOOT. MY HONDA SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT WE WOULD MONITOR THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE THAT I'D DUE IN OCTOBER 2018. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA MOTOR IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE THAT IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A FAMILY TO BE PUT IN.

ENGINE DOES NOT START DASH BOARD SHOWS ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES. AFTER 10-15 MINS IT WORKS FINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND KEPT OVERNIGHT TO FIX. NO SOLUTION PROVIDED. RAISED 2 TICKETS WITH HONDA THEY ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND STOPPED CONTACTING ME FOR SOLUTION. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FACING THIS ISSUE.

OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS LIKE GAS. THE CAR CABIN SMELLS LIKE GAS AND IT BASICALLY STINKY UNLESS THE CAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN. GARAGE ALSO SMELLS LIKE GAS WHEN CAR IS PARKED.

WE HAD A HORRIBLE SITUATION LAST NIGHT WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. OUR HONDA CRV 2018 EXL WHICH IS NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS OLD,BRAND NEW,STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING AND STOPPED IN THE MID ROAD.ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILED AND THERE WERE WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM,ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM,COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM,ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM,HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM,ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM,POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM, YOU NAME IT.EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.WE HAD A BABY IN THE CAR SEAT BEHIND AND COULD HAVE ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT.ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES FAILED.HONDA DOESNT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR IT. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE HIGHWAY IF IT SUDDENLY STOPS AND WHAT IF WE GET HIT BY CAR OR TRUCK BEHIND US.HONDA HAS NO SOLUTION.
