2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

AT THE END OF A PRIVATE ROADWAY, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO SWITCH TO REVERSE AND BACK UP INTO A PARKING AREA. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT HIT A GARAGE DOOR, AND THE REAR OF TWO VEHICLES BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP. THE ENTIRE TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN IT FINALLY STOPPED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO EVALUATE THE CAUSE OF BRAKE FAILURE. SEALER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT OK....UPDATED 02/22/17 *BF

2016 HONDA CR-V VIBRATION ISSUE - MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AGO, I STARTED TO NOTICE A SLIGHT VIBRATION UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN AT IDLE, E.G. SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM AHMC REGARDING A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE ASAP ON MY VEHICLE. THE NOTICE MENTIONED THAT, "THE SOFTWARE IN THE PCM CAUSES A LOW PRESSURE PROBLEM IN THE CVT. THIS MAY ALLOW THE BELT IN THE CVT TO SLIP. IF THE BELT SLIPS, YOU MAY SEE A SURGE IN RPM WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THE BELT SLIPS THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE DAMAGED AND DTC P1890 (THE CVT SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM) WILL SET." THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A MORE PRONOUNCED VIBRATION UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND EVEN INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE INTENSITY OF THE VIBRATION VARIES, BUT IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY. NOW THAT I HAVE HIT THE 5K MILE MARK AND HAD MY FIRST SERVICE DONE, I AM AFRAID THAT THE OLDER THE TRANSMISSION GETS, THE WORSE THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BECOME. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIBRATION ISSUE, BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. BEFORE BUYING THIS VEHICLE, MY RESEARCH INDICATED THAT MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE 2015 MODEL STARTED TO REPORT THE VIBRATION ISSUE RIGHT AROUND THIS TIME (5K MILES + OR AROUND THE FIRST SCHEDULED SERVICE) AND FOR MOST, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. I AM CONVINCED THAT THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED TO THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO THE HONDA BRAND AND I REALLY LIKE THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM STARTING TO REGRET MY PURCHASE!!! :-( *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH THE BACKSEAT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW (WHICH WAS CLOSED COMPLETELY) SHATTERED AND IMPLODED INTO THE ENTIRE BACKSEAT AND FLOOR OF VEHICLE.

VEHICLE "STALLS" WHEN: BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT OCCURS REGULARLY. ONE ONE OCCATION STALL OCCURED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN RESULTING CONFUSION BETWEEN DRIVER IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MYSELF AS I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE STALL DURATION IS BETWEEN 1 TO 3 SECONDS AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING LONGER AS THE PARTS OR SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE WEARING. STALLS OCCUR MOSTLY IN CITY DRIVING I SUSPECT THAT THE TROUBLE IS WITHIN THE "DRIVE BY WIRE" OR THE CVT

UPON INITIAL START THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF RAW GAS, COMING IN THROUGH VENTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY WORSE WHEN IN REVERSE SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, ALSO THIS IS PRESENT WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR DRIVE, SUCH AS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG YOU ARE FORCED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN.
