THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NORTH SHORE HONDA LOCATED IN GLEN HEAD, NY), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR.

OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO, AFTER I BACK MY CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (SLIGHT INCLINE) INTO THE STREET, I PLACE MY CAR'S GEAR IN DRIVE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HESITATED GOING FORWARD REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION TO THE ENGINE; IN OTHER WORDS, THE CAR BASICALLY SAT IN THE STREET REQUIRING ME TO NURSE IT FORWARD UNTIL THE DRIVE GEAR FULLY ENGAGED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR A WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND, THEREFORE, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT BOTH HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP LEAVE ME WITH THE BELIEF THAT I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF A HONDA EXPERIENCING THE STATED PROBLEM; IT IS ESPECIALLY OF CONCERN TO ME SHOULD THE STATED PROBLEM OCCUR AFTER BACKING OUT INTO A BUSY STREET/INTERSECTION.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO. FOR THE PAST 4 WEEKS I HAVE NOW BEEN SMELLING FUEL ODOR IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR PATTERN AND AT TIMES IT IS SO STRONG THAT I HAVE HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOW TO BREATHE WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING.

THERE IS A FUEL SMELL WHICH IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS THE WINTER FUEL BLEND BUT WINTER IS OVER AND THE SMELL IS STILL THERE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS AT MANY LEVELS.

WE WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 5 NORTH AROUND ROSEBURG OR AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD. IT WAS A SUDDEN AND LOAD EXPLOTION AND WAS VERY VERY VERY FRIGHTENING. WE ARE ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGE. NOTE, WE FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT NOTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE CAUSED THIS AND BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES TO INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER AS WE BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AS WE DO HAVE SEVERAL MORE PICTURES. NOTE, WE'RE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND OR TO HAVE THE GLASS REPAIRED. ALSO NOTE, WE INFORMED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE INCIDENT AND THEY STATED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE MANY TIMES BEFORE.

MY 2016 CRV HAS A STRONG ODOR OF UNBURNED FUEL. IT IS SO STRONG IT PREVENTS US FROM DRIVING. THE ODOR CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THE INSIDE OF MY 2016 CR-V SMELLS LIKE GAS, MY FORMER 2015 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE WHAT IS WRONG, THEY TOLD ME TO SWITCH BRAND OF GAS, IT DID NOTHING. ALSO THE SEATS VIBRATE WHILE IDLING, AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AFTER BUYING A NEW 2016 HONDA CR-V LAST YEAR, AND THEN DRIVING IT FOR THE FIRST 75 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, OR ONBOARD COMPUTER STARTED FAILING TO ALLOW THIS VEHICLE TO ALWAYS ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY AND SAFELY FROM A COMPLETE STOP, OR FROM SLOW-ROLLING SPEEDS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PULLOUT INTO HEAVY AND FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PULLOUT INTO HEAVY AND SUPER FAST MOVING EXPRESSWAY TRAFFIC AFTER DECELERATING ON AN EXPRESSWAY ENTRANCE RAMP, THIS VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND ALMOST STALL-OUT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS INITIALLY PUSHED I.E., FEELS LIKE A DEAD ACCELERATOR PEDAL, . . . AND THEN, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED HARDER, THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD AT FRIGHTENING, DANGEROUS, AND NOT ALWAYS CONTROLLABLE SPEEDS WHICH COULD CAUSE A DEADLY HEAD-ON, SIDE-IMPACT, OR REAR-END COLLISION. ANOTHER SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IS WHEN THIS VEHICLE ALMOST STALLS-OUT AND SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON. MY WIFE BECAME SO SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, UNTIL SHE HAS BEEN TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AND NOW SHE HAS BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT EVEN RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME DRIVING. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM THAT WE ALONE ARE EXPERIENCING. THERE ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS HONDA CR-V PROBLEM, AND EVERYONE WE TALK TO WHO OWNS A 2015 OR 2016 HONDA CR-V SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA DEALERS DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND REQUIRED TO RECALL AND FIX ALL OF THESE CR-VS TO MAKE THEM SAFE, OR REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE.
