2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

WHEN CRV IS STATIONARY AND IDLES, THE CABIN FILLS WITH GASOLINE SMELL AND IS NAUSEATING AND GIVES MY WIFE HEADACHES. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT NEW IN DECEMBER 2016 AND THE HONDA DEALER SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND ARE CONCERNED FOR THERE HEALTH AND SAFETY. FROM READING ON-LINE THIS ISSUE SEAMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CRV. CAN YOU GUYS AND GALS HELP? THANKS

BOUGHT A 2016. THOUGHT THE FIX WAS IN. DROVE 4.1 MILES OFF THE LOT . I WAS SO SICK AND NUMB LEGS AND HANDS. I HAD TO PULL OVER. DEALERSHIP PICKED ME UP. OFFERED TO ONLY FIND ME ANOTHER CAR FOR SAME PRICE. SAID ITS MY CAR BUT WONT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. THEN SAID IT'S NOT MY CAR. I HAVE NOT SIGNED ANY FORMS TO RELEASE IT. PAID 22K.

VEHICLE WAS SITTING IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT, AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 25-50MPH. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED, THEN WENT DARK, THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING WITH NO OTHER ISSUES IMMEDIATELY NOTED. DRIVER PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT ABOUT 300' AWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, AND UPON EXITING SAW FIRE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY INVOLVED BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED ON SCENE 7 MINUTES LATER.

REAR HATCH WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE BY PUSH BUTTON IN COLD WEATHER AND DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW GRINDS GOING UP AND DOWN (HAD THIS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED 4 TIMES)

THE TPMS TURNS ON ABOUT VERY THREE MONTHS. I NOTED THIS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I USUALLY HAVE TO STOP IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE. IN ALL CASES IT WAS A FALSE ALARM THAT STAYS LIKE THAT UNTIL I TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. THEY DO GET IT FIXED BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER, AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO TO HAVE IT PERMANENTLY FIXED.

WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IN DRIVE/IDLE WITH BRAKE ENGAGED, THE CAR VIBRATES SEVERELY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CRV IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER SAYS NO FIX AVAILABLE .I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2016 HONDA CRV OWNERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

VEHICLE PARKED ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR WINDOW, IN MY DRIVEWAY .... FAR OFF THE STREET. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN OR TOUCHED SINCE IT WAS PARKED. FRIDAY MORNING WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE AND REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I WAS ON EDMUNDS AND APPARENTLY THIS SEEMS TO BE A HONDA ISSUE !!!!! I HAVE PICTURES OF THE REAR WINDOW. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR IT..... TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY! MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER IT BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS LESS THAN MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE! NOW I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD CLEARLY BE COVERED BY HONDA!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO COMMUNITY HONDA (8340 W 159TH ST, ORLAND PARK, IL 60462, (708) 364-2600). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP, GASKET, AND ALTERNATOR BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

ON OCTOBER 22, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND NOT BEING USED AT THE TIME.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE'S OIL. WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, THE SMELL IS STRONG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE SAFETY AND ENGINE WEAR.
