2019 HONDA HR-V Complaints

Driving on interstate all dashlights came on and then dimmed, car would not accelerate. Stepped on brakes and then car engaged. Also have vibration under gas pedal that can also be felt on floorboard on passenger side. Recently had transmission flushed and shavings were found, technician indicated transmission failure HOWEVER, car gives me no warning lights - this could cause a very bad accident. Incident with dash lights and no accelation was early Jan 24, transmission service was completed on 2/27/24.

I was parallel parking and when I put the car in reverse and barely touched the gas it suddenly accelerated into the car behind me. It was so fast it shot backwards like a rock into the car parked behind me. This was not driver error. It is now with an independent mechanic so I do not know at this point if they can reproduce the incident. I did not take it to Honda as I wanted an independent an unbiased report on the car. No warning lights, etc. before hand. The car behind me had somebody sitting in it and he hurt his hand. BUT if there had not been a car parked behind me I would have shot out backwards into a very busy street. Or had somebody been walking behind the car the would have been killed. The body damage to both cars shows that the speed had to be high at impact, and given the small space between cars when one is parallel parking I would have had to put the "pedal to the metal" to cause the kind of damage that was sustained.

The odometer/fuel gauge (trip/fuel/mpg/time/temp/oil life display) is blank when the car starts. It occasionally goes out while driving. I originally thought it was just in cold weather but it has happened in summer too during extreme heat. The majority of times is when the temperatures are below 40. After a few miles it with flicker and eventually come back on when I reach my destination but if it's in the low 30s it doesnt come on at all. I have had it completely out for 3 days in a row when we had a cold spell. I even park in a garage with the hopes it would help but it does not. I feel not knowing how much fuel I have is a safety concern. I constantly have to top off my tank in cold weather not knowing if it will be out for days at a time. I have done research online into this issue, there are many other 2019 Honda HR-V owners that are having the same issue. In March of 2023 I showed my dealer pictures and videos of the gauge blank and flickering and they were able to get Honda to agree to replace the Meter Assembly at no cost to me when the part came in even though it was out of the warranty period. It has been a year and they still tell me the part has been backordered every time I call. They also told me they believe it stops keeping track of mileage when the gauge goes out.

A few days ago several lights and warning items came on: Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation Problem, Auto High Beam Problem and the Break System Light is on. I took it to my local Honda dealer- they said the Monocular camera needed replacing and the break hold/emergency parking break switch needed replacing. Then 2 days later my low battery on my fob came on.

Vehicle stalls on the highway during longer drive times up to 3 hours. Gas pedal stops working and all dashboard warning lights illuminate. Engine will not restart for several hours but after being towed and some sort of rest period restarts with no issues. Same problem happened on 3 separate occasions. Dealer was unable to recreate or diagnose any issues

I’m very frustrated with Hondas lack of response to the fuel pump recall. Here is what I’ve been told: I called Rusty Wallace Honda in Knox, they told me they can fix my car until earliest November 2024. I called Honda Recall Number- they told me there is nothing they can do at this time. They told me to keep driving it and if something happens to call, but the recall says the call could stall out mid-drive. They also told me they have required all Honda dealers to pull my model from being sold (if this car isn’t safe to sell, why am I driving it?) Rusty Wallace told me they didn’t feel they needed to inspect my car and instead, tried to get me to trade it in and buy a new car (I don’t have a loan and don’t want a new car). I want to feel safe and I drive 35 miles to work one way all highway. The thought of my car stalling is giving me crippling anxiety. Honda is refusing to provide anything to me but to allow me to trade it in. I feel stuck with my car because I tried to go to Subaru to buy a new car with them and they can’t take my car. I don’t want to be stuck with this death machine for 10 months, Honda needs to step up and put me in a rental car.
