2020 HONDA CR-V Complaints

MY VEHICLE ( 2020 HONDA CRV) WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN HIT BY A FORD 350 VAN AS IT ATTEMPTED TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS HIT DIRECTLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEMOLISHING DRIVERS SIDE BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND A PORTION TOWARD BACK END INCLUDING FUEL DOOR. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED !!! MY DRIVERS DOOR WAS JAMMED! I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HAD TO CRAWL OUT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE . I WAS INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT

MY 2020 HONDA CRV WAS ON A CITY STREET IN MOTION LESS THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE/ EXPLOSION. WE WERE NOT NEAR ANY OVERPASSES OR UNDERPASSES. NO OBJECT STRUCK THE VEHICLE. AT OUR DESTINATION, WE LOOKED OVER VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THE SUNROOF/ MOONROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 65 DEGREES TO 70 DEGREES. THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST CAME OUT OF THE GARAGE 10 MINUTES PRIOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG FROM THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY DEPLOYED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER MAKING THE LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS STUNNED AND IMPAIRED FROM SEEING AND THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES THAT REQUIRED BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WELL AND THE FRONT BUMPER WERE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE CRASH SCENE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY GAVE THE CONTACT A CLAIM CASE NUMBER # 11744718 AND SAID THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A POSSIBLE BLACK BOX IN THE VEHICLE TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATED TO ASK THE INSURANCE COMPANY ABOUT THAT ISSUE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,200.

APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE FRONT WINDSCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE DRIVER CAN ONLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD THROUGH THE LOWER 20% OF THE FIELD OF VIEW. THIS OCCURS AT NIGHT IN SITUATIONS WITH MINIMAL SURROUNDING LIGHTING (EG. NOT IN THE CITY). THE DISTANCE WHICH CAN BE SEEN IS LESS THAN 100 FT. THERE IS A STRAIGHT LINE WITH ABRUPT CHANGE FROM THE LOWER ILLUMINATED REGION TO THE UPPER COMPLETELY BLACK WINDSCREEN THROUGH WHICH HARDLY ANYTHING CAN BE VISUALIZED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS COMPLETELY BLACK WINDSCREEN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE HEADLIGHTS WERE AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS WITH THE LOW BEAMS AND THE ILLUMINATED AREA BECOMES EVEN SMALLER ON INCLINES. VISIBILITY IS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED WITH HIGH BEAMS BUT THE UPPER 2/3RD TO 1/2 OF THE WINDSCREEN REMAINS DARKER. THE IIHS SAFETY TEST CONFIRMS MARGINAL ILLUMINATION ON HONDA CRV EX L MODEL WITH INADEQUATE LIGHTING ON CERTAIN TURNS, SO THE DEFICIENCY OF THE LOW BEAMS IS ALREADY DOCUMENTED HOWEVER TESTING APPARENTLY DID NOT OCCUR IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THE BLACK WINDSCREEN CONDITION OCCURS. THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS MODEL A POOR PERFORMANCE/FAILING GRADE. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND SO I AM SURPRISED THAT A FIX/RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON MY DISPLAY OF A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR IT SEEMED OK. THE CAST HAS ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA CR-V. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT A FUEL LIKE ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE SAT IDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO URSE HONDA (772 BARNETTS RUN RD, BRIDGEPORT, WV 26330; (304) 842-5600) WHO STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE AND THEREFORE WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER THREE TIMES HOWEVER, THE INSPECTION RESULTS WERE THE SAME. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT GO TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.*DT*JB *JS

2020 NEW HONDA CR-V HYBRID - THERE'S A VIBRATION AND NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AT TWO MONTHS OLD, HONDA DETECTED IT IN BOTH MY CAR AND TWO OTHER NEW ONES THEY PULLED FROM THEIR LOT TO SEE IF IT WAS IN ANY OTHER NEW ONES. I WAS TOLD "THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ONLY WORSE THAN YOURS". ORIGINALLY I NOTICED IT AT 63 MPH (SO DID THE SHOP FOREMAN WHO DROVE IT WITH ME), BUT NOW, I'M EXPERIENCING IT ON SURFACE STREETS AS WELL. IT REMAINS CONSTANT REGARDLESS OF ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT - TRIED NEW TIRE(S), REAR ALIGNMENT, ETC. THEY TEST DROVE IT MORE THAN ONCE, BUT IN THE END, THEY ADMITTED TO ME THAT IT WAS STILL THERE AND LIKELY A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL. "DRIVE TRAIN" WAS MENTIONED AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE. I DID TEST DRIVE IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND WHILE IT DID FEEL A BIT DIFFERENT FROM MY 2017 CR-V, I ATTRIBUTED IT TO ME NOT BEING ACCUSTOMED TO AWD. HOWEVER, THE MORE I'VE DRIVEN IT, THE MORE I REALIZE IT'S SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT I WOULD BE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ON A LONG TRIP. ALL THIS SAID, THE ISSUE OF SAFETY KEEPS LOOMING - IF IT IS THE DRIVE TRAIN, IS IT WEARING DOWN ALREADY (NOT BEING MECHANICALLY MINDED, DOES A DRIVE TRAIN WEAR DOWN?) AND AT WHAT POINT MIGHT IT CAUSE A REAL PROBLEM AT HIGH SPEED (OR ANY SPEED!)? FOR CLARITY - THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN ROUGHLY NOR HIT ANY OBSTACLE OR CURB. I AM WRITING A LETTER TO HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES AS WELL. A SHOUT OUT TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON AT MY HONDA DEALER. I KNOW FIRST YEAR REVAMP (FIRST YEAR OF CR-V HYBRID IN THIS CASE) CAN BE TRICKY AND VERY POSSIBLY IS IN THIS INSTANCE. EVERYONE HAS BEEN WONDERFUL AND WORKED HARD TO TRY AND PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. PERHAPS A RHETORICAL QUESTION, BUT I DID ASK "SO, ARE YOU GOING TO SELL THOSE OTHER TWO ON THE LOT AS IS?"

I PURCHASED A NEW 2020 HONDA CR-V'ECO IN FEBRUARY 2020. ON NOVEMBER 6 2020 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE OF TIRE DISTURBANCE. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32 AND REAR SWORN TO 6/32 AND TIRES WERE FEATHERED. TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA FACTORY ORIGINALMTIRES WITH ONLYN16,481 MILES ON THEM . THE BRANDING INFO ON THE SIDE WALL STATES THESE AREV70,000 TREAD WEAR TIRES.DEALER ADVISED TO BUY 2 NEW TIRES TO REPLACE THE MOST WORN AND FEATHERED ONES AND DO NOTHING MORE : I BECAME AWARE THAT OEM TIRES ARE NOT WARRANTED BY THE TIRE COMPANY BECAUSE THE ARE BUILT TO SPECIAL SPECS FROM HONDA. ALSO ISN'T USING DIFFERENTLY WORN TIRES A SAFETY ISSUE ON AWD VEHICLES

THE CABIN OF MY CRV SMELLS NAUSEATINGLY LIKE GASOLINE CAUSING SEVERE HEADACHES. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, AND ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN THE 2020 MODELS.

CAR WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD FROM THE SHOP AND HAD A SEVERE GAS LEAK FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HONDA CR-V 2020 DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS RODENTS THAT ATE THE FUEL PUMP AND THEN LENT ME THE EXACT SAME CARE HONDA CR-V 2020 AND AGAIN A WEEK LATER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS WAS REVIEWED BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND SAID THAT THERE WAS WHOLE ON THE FUEL TANK. HONDA-CR-V LEAKS GAS WHEN TURNED ON. IT IS LEAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS.
